Dear Mr Camera man

Dear Mr Camera Man, When you film a music video, it's about music. We don't want to see the singer's tattoos or down the chick's chest or how short her pants are, - Well , Hmmm, Ahh, What I want to say is, - spend a little more time on the action. People that are watching for the music really DO want to see the band member's hands and appreciate technique and all that stuff that took YEARS to achieve. Please show us the Player not the Song.

I go straight for the good live vids of a band on youtube. Don't even bother with a music video for anything but the song. ?

The quality they are getting live in terms of video and audio is really amazing these days.

If the chick is scantily clad you can hardly blame the camera man.
He's making a video that he thinks will sell, and he knows who's buying. :-\

Look how well Miley Cyrus videos sell ?

I also generally prefer live videos, as in the band on stage in front of an audience. The live video of Death playing Scavenger of Human Sorrow got me into the band way back. A sweaty metal band rocking out on stage.

I guess that rules out most Van Halen videos ? (come to think of it, it rules out most glam videos from the 80s)

Someone can say no to a scantily clad woman in a music vid? What is this world coming to... and you call yourselves musicians... pfffft

Are you calling Van Halen a scantily clad woman?! LOL! I guess the long hair can be confusing ... hahahahaha.
