Bon Jovi - It's My Life

Holy Fuck - "Tom Tom"


From the video description:

Pitchfork Wrote:"Brian and I decided to shoot the video in Romania so we could cast authentic people in a unfamiliar setting. I wanted to shoot most of the scenes when the sky was just about to fade and use as much natural light as possible. This helped with the surreal style I was trying to create. Though...we did end up using a few lights and a homemade dolly we built in Romania with wheels I ordered from the US.

I was lucky to have my Romanian friend Miruna Soiu who helped produce/translate and her husband Ian Mcgettigan who's one of my best friends who helped with all things including being the dolly grip and doing most of the driving. Myself, the two of them and my girlfriend Erika Lobko who's a local set designer from Toronto flew over. There we found our two main characters and now friends Marius Staicu senior and his son Marius. They were perfect in every way. Everything I had hoped for and way more really. Casting was really fun as we just walked around Zarnesti and asked people if they'd like to be in a music video. We shot most of the video in Sirnia a small village near Brasov where both Ian and Miruna had once stayed. It was through their contacts that we were able to do this video. Without them and Erika who ended up operating on many shots the video would have never been made. Miruna's wonderful Aunt Iona cooked us traditional Romanian meals every day and woke up really early every morning and lit the heaters to make sure we were warm and cozy.

I'm also very lucky to have Daniel Bochenski edit from School Editing and Clinton Homuth color from Alter Ego. They both did amazing work and I appreciate the support!”

And of course, here's the obligatory Invincible reference: "You don't seem to understand. Earth is not yours to conquer."

So... anyone here remenbers that Russian pop band named t.A.T.u.?

From the video description:

NFKRZ Wrote:This video is about the Russian 2000s band known as t.A.T.u. or TATU. This was a duo that shook the West and had a lot to do with LGBT rights in Russia. Today we examine the story of t.A.T.u. and their cultural impact.

Somewhat unrelated but I met people who didn't knew these two are lesbians (actually they were pretending to be lesbians all along but that's besides the point), meanwhile I'm just like "Bruh. That's literally their entire gimmick! Like, how can you know about TATU yet not know they are (pretending to be) lesbians?".

EDIT: Why is the video age restricted?

Metallica announced something called The Black Album, it will have artists like Mon Laferte, Juanes, Miley Cyrus, J Balvin, ect.

The history behind this song is interesting. "We figured there were all these songs by men bashing women and treating women like sex objects. So we decided a song that turned the tables on men might attract some attention."
