Sticksboi05 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 What was the first? For me, it was Buddy Holly by Weezer when we installed Windows 95, which at the time was the thing to brag about in school. Back then, I didn't know it was Happy Days with....THE FONZ.

zoony Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thriller. A friend of mine had it on Betamax... I think I was 8 years old and didn't know what a music video was. After that, I was expecting all music videos to be 30 minutes :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue collar Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Probably some "promo clip" from the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Genesis was the first one I remember. Can't remember the name of the song right but it was in that set of the first MTV videos. Going past that I was regular watching Don Kirschner's Rock Concert every saturday night when I could get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kaos Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 "Video Killed The Radio Star" first video on MTV August 1, 1981. +1 and MTV has never been the same since that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think the first video I ever saw was a Faith No More video where at the end the grizzly looking guitarist wwithhe funky sunglasses is playing the piano while the Red Snapper is on the ground flopping around gasping for air... then when dude stops playing the piano and gets up and walks away the piano explodes.... it was def a money video for its time.

hockeysc23 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Metallica - OneChanged my life Um that video came out in 1989. "The music video, directed by Bill Pope and Michael Salomon, debuted on MTV on January 20, 1989." When did you see that? Metallica almost never had any of their older stuff on MTV from my memory. AS far as my 1st music video I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammsteinSkins Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The only one I remember is Sonne by Rammstein back in '05. First time I had ever heard of Rammstein....and I hated it :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't remember. I used to watch a lot of Bevis and Butthead, so I used to see a lot of strange music videos...my first one was probably on that show at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Man, no other love for Edie Brickell? Another one I remember seeing very early in my intro to music videos was the "No Rain" song by Blind Melon with the bee girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the video as well, I always wanted to watch the movie they show clips of. The guy is banging out "Kill Me" in Morse code with his head b/c he lost both arms and legs....
