The Late Night Music Videos

Guybrush · 09-03-2009, 12:20 PM

Heya!

This is yet another music video thread, but this one is for the videos that are too adult in their content to get airtime on MTV or VH1 (etc) during the day. Use this thread to post those music videos that are too grisly, spooky, naughty or sexy for daytime TV.

I'll start out with a Supergrass song, "Mary" which is from their third album. Although they're not a very sinister bunch - and there are certainly worse videos than this one - it was still too much for MTV because it has corpses, blood and poltergeistish things going on in it. The plot seems fairly simple .. When Supergrass plays in the basement, strange things happen in the apartments above.

Let's see some more!

What's this? No replies?

Guess I'll have to pull out bigger guns then. Nine Inch Nails have one of the nastier music videos ever put out by a widely popular band. The song is "Happiness in Slavery" and features Bob Flanagan, known (and now deceased) supermasochist. In the movie, he worships in a machine which tortures him to death. Bob recieves the torture with a mixture of pain and pleasure.

This video is not for the feint of heart, so consider yourself warned!

Oh and those who don't mind violence so much, beware - there's genitalia in there.

Oh god... that was difficult for me to watch! I am a very squeamish person but I am way too curious for my own good. It is a great clip, though.

Anyway, when I think of late night music videos this comes to my mind immediately:

I also remember this video only ever being shown on late night MTV when I was younger, despite it being nominated for an MTV most creative video award or something? Anyway I never understood it.

I shall think of more later.

^Nice vids!

Girls on Film is one of my favourite Duran Duran hits, but I'd never seen that long uncensored vid before. It was way saucier than I suspected .. hubba! The Tool one isn't so bad, but I guess it gives associations to things which may not be so pleasant to think about or be confronted with on daytime TV. Nice vid, though.

I might as well post Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy" before anyone else does!

More funny than disturbing (imo), but I guess it fits the thread. It is definetly a typical late night vid!

damn you nailed my top 2 choices with this one and that old NIN video haha. the NIN clip is part of an album long video for the 'broken' EP, my old roommate in college had a copy, quite disturbing at the time.

speaking of aphex twin though. how about windowlicker

i've looked and looked and looked some more for a clean version of that scratchy intro bit (without voices) and have never come up with anything. such an awesome beat.

Windowlicker is so awesome and it's been years since I saw it last! I once found the website of some business who had been making masks for those aphex twin vids.

Nice Cramps videos! The 666 was a nasty flashback from the 90s that I didn't need. God how I hated those songs. Their "classics" were some of the most annoying dance hits in modern history.

Predictably, there's quite a lot of black metal videos that would fit this thread. When black metal had integrity, they didn't have a lot of money on their video budgets and the videos are usually not very exciting. Nowadays they have more money and possibly less integrity .. It makes for some funny videos at least.

This Dimmu Borgir video is quite hilarious

It's also blasphemous so christians beware!

Well how about "Jeanny" from Falco. When it came out, it was pretty controversial and many stations refused to play it since it is told from the point of view from a rapist/possible murderer.

and another video..not spooky/grisley/scary but it parodies religion a bit..well..alot hence the cut.
And this band isn't posted enough.

The machine grinds him up and fertilizes this garden with him .. Then Trent Reznor enters the room. Obviously, he's next!

You quoted the wrong post, though.
