Great Song & Great Video

Post the ones that hit the target on both.
I'll start with the obvious one - the one that kicked it all off:

 

The one that kicked it all off?

 

The single was accompanied by a promotional video which at the time was rare and in which many scholars consider ground-breaking.

Rolling Stone stated that its influence "cannot be overstated, practically inventing the music video seven years before MTV went on the air."

The Guardian ranked the music video at number 31 on their list of the 50 key events in rock music history, adding it ensured "videos would henceforth be a mandatory tool in the marketing of music".

So, yes.


As you were.

 

Nonsense

The Beatles were doing that shit 8 years earlier

Typical revisionist crap trying to make the inexplicably popular (in England) Queen out to be some hugely important band when they really weren't

Wayne's World rescued them from the 70s dustbin just like RUN DMC did for Aerosmith... both bands deserved to remain there

 

I mean "scholars"??? At Rolling Stone??? What drivel

 

LOL, I know a bit more than you do about this kind of stuff, so.....

Queen were massive, probably the biggest band in the world from 1975-1982 when they went down the tubes following Hot Space album.
They rallied back with record ales and touring 2 years later everywhere except the USa.
They stopped everything in 1991 when Mercury died.
Wayne´s fucking World came out a year later, you half-wit.

Go back and find some videos, pre-1975, which had anywhere near the same impact that Bohemian Rhapsody did.

Then, fuck your Mom, your sister and then kill yourself.

 

Are you kidding? Wayne's World is the only reason anyone under 50 ever even SAW that video, cunt

Dying of AIDS just before Wayne's World came out was the best career move ever... without it, there's no "Classic Queen" to sell to bourgeois suburbanites by the shitloads, there's nowhere near as much interest in the Freddie Mercury tribute and you aren't on here trying to pretend music videos didn't exist before 1975

Mercury's death was a fucking footnote on MTV News... I remember... it was like "yeah that 'bites the dust' guy is dead"

 

Just shows and proves you have massive gaps in your knowledge.
That statement is plain crazy and, untrue.

BTW, you havent shown any proof of great videos and great songs....so I´d suggest you get to it, piss-stain.

 

The statement is fact... your judgement is clouded by a combination of U.K. bias and the overwhelming propaganda campaign to elevate Mercury's legacy posthumously

 

Next you'll tell me Peter Green created blues music

 

Fucking LIMEYS

 

Haha yes that song is hilarious

 

were Queen the first band to ever make a music video?

 

Nope

 

No.
Many ´videos´ had been made from around the laye-60s but these were more known as ´Promotional clips´
Bohemian Rhapsody was the first as a first global hit single for which an video was central to the marketing strategy.

cdogg doesnt like Queen, so he gets chance to make up false comments to hide his own insecurities about music in general.

In short, he´s a waste of chromosomes....

 

More awesomeness:

 

Cdogg is correct that Queen has benefited from enormous revisionism and hero worship of its dead singer as an icon of the AIDS awareness era which leads to outrageous claims like the one Mustard CUNT led off the thread with

 

See, what cdoggshit doesnt understand (or know) is that before Bohemian Rhapsody, most ´videos´ were as I said earlier - promotional clips - usually of the band miming onstage to the single or being filmed outdoors not doing much interesting (notable exceptions: The Rolling Stones in a tent filling up with bubble-bath to ´Its Only Rock N Roll´, Bowie backstage for ´Life On Mars´, Joni Mitchell´s ´Big Yellow Taxi´ animated HB-esque cartoon, etc.)
Hall & Oats did something a bit different in the early 70s with ´She´s Gone´ - parodying the genre, but there was nothing particularly that innovative about it and it was never aired.

We´re not talking anything about the 1992 re-release.
Or Wayne´s World.
Or AIDs.

Well, you are...because that´s the sort of irrelevant-argument and antagnositc pond-life you are.

Bohemian Rhapsody, released in 1975 totally ´invented´ a new genre in what a promotional clip could do - and in turn defined that entire ´video´ genre 5 years before MTV.



So...

 

¨Hooooooooo-weeeeee!
Hat potater!!
I jest owned me a lil yappy fuckin dawwwg!¨

 

You still haven't illustrated this AT ALL ... you just keep making the claim that a "new genre was invented" without illustrating how the actual video was in any way groundbreaking

And again, the FACT is that 99.9% of people under 50 are aware of that video solely because of Wayne's World

As a CHILD, I was aware of the Beatles videos for Rain, I am The Walrus, Something, etc... the Stones videos for Jumpin Jack Flash, It's Only Rock n Roll, etc

Never heard about this Queen video until Wayne's World

You have AIDS

 

Are you really that stupid?

 

And you're a lying cunt, to boot.

No cunt.

You are just claiming things while illustrating nothing.

Must be the AIDS.

Cunt.
