Even if I didn’t tell you, I bet you would be able to guess that this music video was directed by Michael Bay. Bay brings the same techniques that he would later bring to films about blowing up asteroids and defending Alcatraz to this music video about sleeping all day and staying up all night. This was back when music wasn’t afraid to rock and music videos were all about having a good time.
Slaughter, unfortunately, was among the many metal acts that got pushed off of MTV by the Grunge Revolution but they’re still together and they’re still playing in front of enthusiastic audiences. If Slaughter seems like an aggressive name for a band whose music was mostly about having a good time, that’s because the band is named for lead singer Mark Slaughter, who can still hit those high notes.
Enjoy!
