Maybe I could use a little metal on the inside, I thought. If I'd kept my heart better armored, where would I be now? Easy—I’d be at home, medicating myself into a monotone. Drowning my sorrows in video games. Working shifts at Smart Aid. Dying i...
First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos.
Adam does most of the work when it comes to videos and he basically does the same as I do with the lyrics. The videos are his visual interpretations of our music.
I made all their videos, apart from the last two, so if you ever see an Abba video on TV then it's my stuff.
Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see.
When I was fifteen years old, my dad won a video camera in a corporate golf tournament. I snatched it from his closet and began filming skateboard videos with my friends.
Video is a funny thing. It's one thing to be an artist, singer-songwriter, and use words and create pictures in people's minds. And then be asked to do video for it, to actually give a certain visual for your song.
My life is nothing like my videos. I'm definitely not walking around with lots of hot women, as I am in my videos.
I'm not a big fan of any video, especially my own. In a word, I hated the Hall & Oates videos.
I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.
I didn't make music videos in order to make a movie. Music videos were the goal for me, so it was never a step to something else. I approached it seriously.
I was never interested in becoming an actor. I was directing videos. I was never into acting. I was into shooting music videos. I've only ever been behind the camera. Never in front of it.
I get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.
I love music videos, I really do. I think it's kind of sad that it's a dying art form.
A whole new generation is looking at the videos, and going to the video shop and buying the re-release of the complete trilogy, which you can buy at a reasonable price.
I'm rather old-fashioned about this video business. It's all relatively new. We really don't do videos, Fleetwood Mac. We've only done two.
I have my website, The Ruckus, which is an Internet site, similar to the Funny or Die format, where people post funny videos. I get a chance to rate their videos; they get a chance to blog and kick it with me.
You get to actually see the music video on the TV in the pilot and we have the soundtrack playing at this big party. I thought that was sort of a cool moment, to actually have the A-Ha video is pretty cool.
When people screamed novelty the first time around talking about an ugly video and stuff I was really insulted because, hold on a minute, everyone you see in the video are real life.
I don't just post a video and then get offline. After uploading, I love to respond to comments, tweets, and messages about the video.
I was once an extra in a Bruce Springsteen video where they did a live performance video at Tramps. I forget the name of the song.
