Music Video of the Day: Lipstick and Leather by Y&T (1986, directed by Michael Miner)


I wanted to share the video for Y&T’s Mean Streak but the person who uploaded the video to YouTube also disabled playback.  Why would anyone do that?  The video wasn’t age-restricted or anything like that.

Instead, here’s the video for another Y&T song, Lipstick and Leather.  This video’s director, Michael Miner, also directed the video for Mean Streak.  In fact, he did more than a few Y&T videos, along with doing videos for Alcatrazz and Marianne Mabile.  Miner also co-wrote the script that would eventually become Robocop.

Y&T stands for Yesterday and Today.  Lars Ulrich has said that seeing an L&T show inspired him to become a musician.

Enjoy!
