The Late Night Music Videos

Tore... I can't believe you didn't think to post:
Aphex Twin - Rubber Johnny.

Check it out.
The creme de la creme of the freaky music video world:

Gotta love it.
 
Yeah it was never officially released because they didn't have the rights. If I recall, it was mostly used as backing footage for live shows. But it was done specifically for that song.
 
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 remeraber 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 viRAB! :D

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!
 
Lol Rubber Johnny is hilarious. :D

I've never listened to Velvet Acid Christ, though I've been aware of them for ages. I may check them out soon.
 
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 :p:

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.

I was thinking about it, but I was saving it for later .. Of course now I can't since you did it! Both Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails typically have more videos that would fit this thread nicely, so I guess we'll see more of them. I love the Rubber Johnny video .. I like all Chris Cunningham videos. :)

TL, nice vid, also a bit random horrorish. The collection of bits of babies in jars reminRAB me of the study collection at the university :p:

Here's another vid which has a horror theme without actually being too challenging. Buckethead and Serj Tankian's "We Are One". Don't like the song so much, but any vid that shows a lot of Mr. Bucket is fine by me.
