Video of the week #9½

[Niels (Mod)]

When I was looking through some video's on Youtube the other day, for Yngwie Malmsteen-video's to use on the YM-"Group-page", I found this one, Alcatraz's "God blessed video's".

It's from Alcatraz's 2. album "Disturbing the peace" (produced by Eddie Kramer) from 1985, and was made AFTER Malmsteen had left the band, and the new recruit, Steve Vai came straight (?) from Frank Zappa's band.

I remember this song/video from the '80's, but I have'nt really heard/seen it since then, and maybe it's been a while since YOU saw it?

(You may have heard the song on 2002's videogame, Grand Theft Auto, Vice city)

Enjoy.

As far as the song goes, I'm not crazy about it. I've never been a fan of Alcatrazz.

But for the video it's such a typical 80's video:

Concept: Cheesy
Fashion style: Cheesy
Fake guitar playing: Cheesy

So why do I love 80's videos? For all the reasons above I guess.

Although I don't like the song, it's still a very good representative of 80's style so again, good pick Niels.

[Niels (Mod)]

Yeah, absolutely Cheesy, and that's also why I love these "classic" video's.

I really like the song. I think, that it's a great 80's song, and I love Bonnet's voice and of course, Vai's playing.

You may have also heard the song on a past LAOTW! Shameless plug!

Cheesy RULES!

[Niels (Mod)]

Ups! I guees I missed that one.

No worries. Just picking on you since picking on Rjhog was getting old. :-)
