This seems to be pretty popular with unsigned and indie bands these days. Making professionally MTV/VH1 styled like videos. So the question you maybe wondering is, would I ever make one? I’ve said it before a long long time ago, no. I don’t think I’ll ever make a music video to my songs. Why? Simply because I hate music videos. I only liked music videos in the 80’s hair metal and 90’s grunge music era’s, but other than that, music videos are just silly and pointless. I never understood bands acting in a music video, lip synching to your own singing like if it was a staged musical or something.

If you wanted my music on video, you would see me video taping my “live” performances. I don’t need to feel like a rock star with a MTV/VH1 styled video, do I? I don’t live in this rock star fantasy world. I just want to play music as a passion, that is all.

A lot of Albany bands seem to be making these kind of videos these days, so I thought I would rant about it. They maybe nice material to get your music heard and get your name out there, but honestly, you don’t need music videos to get your name out there. I always saw music videos as a way to feed in your ego even more.

Just let your music speak for itself. I’ve never been a hit “single” kind of guy.
