The early 90s, a good time to be a wrinkly half-naked old man
 

Ok, this is kind of a weird topic for a thread but humor me.

It started with me seeing the video for Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box". I was watching the old man walking around in the diaper and I started thinking about Metallica's video for "The Unforgiven" which involves a shirtless old man, and which I think only came out about a year and a half before "Heart Shaped Box". Then from deepest corners of my brain, vague memories of other early 90s videos featuring half-naked old men began to take shape and I started to think "what a weird trend for videos to go through". Of course I can't think of any other examples besides the two I mentioned, but I feel like there were more. Does anyone remember any others? Were half-naked old men really a staple of early 90s videos or am I on crack? Maybe it wasn't just videos, maybe it was album art too or something.

For anyone who wants to watch the two videos I mentioned:

Metallica—"The Unforgiven"


Nirvana—"Heart Shaped Box"

It's all about sex appeal something those old guys carry.

Wasnt there an old guy in Metallica's Enter Sandman vid?

:laughing:

Holy shit, you're right! And he's shirtless too! I guess Metallica had kind of a fetish for the old men back in the black album era. :laughing:

Well in the 'Band T Shirt' business EVERYONE seems to be using pastel colors...

Holy **** I think you just discovered something big, here's another half naked old man....

Pixies- Debaser

Debaser, my favorite Pixies tune.

Ah, another one! And the earliest example so far!

Nice Sleuthing Janszoon, keep digging.

Hey I found another bare chested wrinkly in the 90s

Heh. Man, his vocals are fucking awful in that video.
