I know a lot of local and unsigned bands all across the U.S. and the world love to make professionally made MTV/VH1 styled music videos but you don’t need to. Why? I’m about to explain. I understand that music videos are pretty good marketing tools and they do help get the word out which is why so many bands makes official music videos. They also make them as their way of entertaining their longtime fans. In my humble opinion, music videos aren’t a good form of entertainment.

I always found it pretty silly that musicians have to play dress-up for a music video and then they go film it out in the streets with your instruments in public places. I find it pretty weird that the lead singer of a band have to walk around lip-syncing to a recorded track like if it’s some movie musical. It all bothered me. I never really cared for music videos because it simply takes away the music. I would want to be able to pay attention to the song. I don’t want to feel like watching a movie or a TV show, you know what I mean? Plus, to make a really GOOD music video requires a lot of good acting and tons of professional camera experience. I believe a lot of local and unsigned talented don’t have any of that when making homemade MTV/VH1 like videos.

Some of you may ask. How come the Brock never made a music videos like this? It’s because I never cared to. I don’t think I would ever want an official music video. I would make professional albums on CD, but music videos… no. The closest you’ll ever see me on video are those live performances of mine in youtube at the gigs and me performing at home… that’s as far as a music video you’ll get from me. I mean, you’re not gonna see me in a music video where I walk down the street lip syncing to a recorded track snapping my fingers or swinging my hips back and forth. You’re not gonna see me sitting at a bar with a drink singing a song while a couple dances in the background and people all around me. You’re not gonna see me doing any acting scenes or any of that silly garbage.

You can still get recognized in music by not doing any those kind of videos at all. I don’t see the point, ya know what I mean? On top of that, I wouldn’t feel comfortable seeing myself in those kind of videos. I don’t need that kind of attention ’cause my ego is not that big.

I just want to make the music for you. I don’t think I’ll ever make these kind of videos. Bands mistakenly think you need to have music videos but you don’t need to. It’s all up to you whether you want to make them or not. I don’t mind live concert footage or home performances but music videos, not a chance.  It’s crazy how other bands & artists do them but whatever — they do whatever they want to do, I guess.
