I'm going to just go ahead and not open this at work.  Fool me once, shame on you.

Well, now I've got that song going through my head.

Classy tune.

It contains no porn or anything.  Not a single naked person.  It's fully-clothed cartoon violence set to some nice Beatles music.

Like I said, shame on you.

In case anyone was wondering, they'll be playing live at Homopalooza on the 30th.  You just can't make up shit like this.

Yeah, so I know that Bill Simmons mentioned this in one of his "columns", but it bears repeating that this could be the most puzzling video of all time.

shit like that gives air-keyboard players like myself a bad name.

After watching it, I've tried to figure out what is the most puzzling aspect of the video...

- That Steve Perry tries to look buff
- That the girls skirt is that long
- That when the chic leaves, it's two guys staring across at each other
- That the tiny square bass guitar could emit any sort of guitar-like sound
- The ending

Thoughts?

And my contribution to further the thread... Rush at their most pretentious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tCUeAAK9fg&mode=related&search=Rush%20Big%20Money

To add to those, I'm puzzled by:

- The keyboard being played on the wall;
- The fact that they hired a hermaphrodite to be the POA and why is she wearing my grandma's shoes?;
- Moustache rides, anyone?;
- Is it just me, or are the members of the band actually trying not to laugh at certain points?;
- whose idea was it to have the drummer use bins of nuclear waste as his drum kit during the guitar solo?

I think Journey is currently playing in Gitmo, getting terrorists to talk.

That tiny bass is called a Stein ... something.  Maybe a Steinberg.  I used to know someone with a guitar version of it, and I've played it a half dozen times.  Now, I should preface this by saying that I actually like and still defend Tin Machine, which was David Bowie's side project in the early 90s.  Their first album was a semi-hit, and their secnd album was much better.  Anyway, their guitarist Reeves Gabrels played a guitar like that (he stuck with Bowie for a few years later, though he switched to a Parker guitar), so I was anxious to borrow it anytime I could around 1992-93 -- before I picked up my Brian May guitar.

It's a nasty little thing, very fuzzy, and just as minimalist and robotic as you'd think.  Perfect for making compressed, fuzzy music.  Think Boston's guitar sound at its worst, or any 90s Bowie/NIN (though I hate NIN) at best.  Very loud humbucking pickups that don't need much to distort.  Real musicians play instruments that suit them, no matter how lame or passe they look; and though I'm not Gabrels' biggest fan (nor do I listen to much post-Black Tie White Noise- Bowie), he should be commended for creating some nasty, snarly music out of such a lame looking gee-tar.

Steinberger...can't keep the little fuckers in tune. I've always been a Rick bass man, myself (ever since seeing Bruce Foxton with one)

A Journey video?  Sweeeeet! 

They ran a train on that chick.  You know they did.  They're journey.  They have guitar-keyboards and shit.
