Lately I've seen lots of amazing musicvideos thru youtube.com
So I'm starting a thread to compile lots of genius and crazy vids The first 2 are a bit PWR related
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is on tour again...last week I almost wet my pants when they played Arnold Layne on a BBC show This was their first single with very strange lyrics. It's about a crossdressingman stealing women's clothing from their washingline i.e. pretending to be someone else. Vocals are by the original Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3xQUOJrwzk
When I finally got well again after hearing this news, the song hasn't been played by any Floyd member since the 60s, I heard this. On his first London show (of 3) David Gilmour had a special guest to sing this song...David Bowie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vkiEsLxNJw
Well this event gives us some to speculate about..I guess..with the lyrical content and it not having been played for more than 30 years.
For the rest I'd like to leave this topic open for any cool and crazy musicvids...I'll add some more craziness which has nothing to do with PWR but is just great stuff

That is actually Syd Barrett singing "Arnold Layne", with Wright lip-synching in the video. Barrett was gone, and the group he named went on making a few other films of Barrett hits without him to a largely unaware public. Thanks for the link!

I like it how in the Wings interview, he said "In the 50's and 60's I was around then...".
In the Beatle interviews above, it's evident that John still thinks at that point that Bill is gonna step in and fill Paul's shoes and everything will be like it was before. I think within a year after that he realizes it's not the same.
did you take this video? I gotta see one of these concerts! :-D
and in the end I noticed that he had long legs and torso in contrast to these pictures I saw of Paul in a Beatles book yesterday where he had a smaller torso and... oops... "PID non-related"
and BTW if you see me comment on your videos I'm "nodlezfodlez"
Nope, I didn't take that video, also I was there the day after, but I wanted a momento of sorts. Yes, you make a valid point, I think everyone should see him in concert for the extra dimension it adds to the investigation, if for no other reason.

Well... looks like Youtube got a little freaked by all the videos I uploaded, and killed my account. Kinda knew in the back of my mind this might be coming, oh well.
Kinda a strange situation there because: videos that people actually want to watch (and thereby driving traffic to their site) have to be taken down when they get a DMCA complaint. Videos that are "safe" from that are usually crap no one wants to see, like some kid lip synching a pop song in front of his web cam..

Jai, the 1st video is a mixture of photos pre & post 1966. The second one is all Paul. I still don't understand how people can't tell the difference ! Bill has a larger bone structure than Paul did.

Lily, yeah, I think a couple things are going on there.
One is that people have been so brainwashed that difference isn't immediately obvious to them. I guess something has to trigger in their brain before their eyes are opened up.
Another is the idea that Paul died is not a very palletable one. Every other rumor about a rock star has hope that they are still alive (like Elvis Presley or Jim Morrison...). It cuts against the grain to claim a rock star is dead. People want to keep rock stars alive.
An amazing moment in time: Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, & Fats Domino.

I believe that The Miracle video is a definite nod to the replacement " game". Freddy knew that he had aids. Maybe he was afraid that they would replace him too !!!

BBC News: YouTube asked to 'remove' videos (by Viacom)
Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 09:12 PM by Up2Late
(Yup Daily Show and Colbert Report fans, the party is officially over at YouTube! Fortunately, if you upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to Version 9, the "MotherLoad" player at Comedy Central actually works! See link, below this story, to try it out!)

YouTube asked to 'remove' videos
Viacom, the parent firm of cable networks MTV and Nickelodeon, has told popular video sharing site YouTube to remove 100,000 "unauthorised" clips.
YouTube and its parent Google failed to install tools to "filter" the unauthorised video clips, said Viacom.
The firm said after talks over several months YouTube seemed "unwilling to come to a fair market agreement" to let readers access Viacom content. YouTube has said it will comply with Viacom's request.
'Passionate audience'
The firm said that it works with "all copyright holders to identify and promptly remove infringing content" as soon as it is officially notified.
But it added that it was "unfortunate" that Viacom would no longer be able to "benefit from YouTube's passionate audience which had helped promote many of Viacom's shows".

'Nickelodeon' Nickelodeon is an early 20th century form of small, neighborhood movie theaters in which admission was obtained for a nickel. By 1907, one estimate (based on basic business economics) was that an average of over two million people attended the nickelodeons daily. The popularity of these affordable, entertaining, and highly profitable venues was such that their numbers mushroomed to approximately 8,000 in the U.S. by 1908.
Wiki
Imagine...a DIGITAL channel that stills fancies itself as a revenue model from 1908 when it's 2007
Imagine...a salesman who actually turns away interested customers without EVEN a taste
Imagine...that the world stopped and people think that other people might actually PAY for the privilege to 'view' an image of Jon Stewart performing...
...and then there are other batshit crazy ideas like THINKING that water is best managed by a CEO with a board of directors of a publicly listed corporation, as opposed to people who actually drink water...

Yup, they deleted all my classic old Daily Show videos months ago... ...videos, BTW, that were nearly impossible to find anywhere on the internet, videos that I spent probably close to 100 hours of my time digitally transferring, rendering, editing, and then uploading, and then Google buys them and "click" deleted.
I even had several old commercials and show promos for for Comedy Central on my YouTube "channel" for most of the time too. I wouldn't have minded if they had asked me to place banner ads on my page in exchange for letting me keep the videos up (which was basically doing their work for free for them), but NO!
Once they deleted my account, I pretty much lost interest in YouTube and have moved some of my videos to other smaller, but similar sites.

I haven't posting much lately coz I have bin buzy trying to get a sound problem solved.
The sound problem was/is endemic to the system we live in.
A mid range corp hotel has 'conference facilities' with state of the art sound!...but a bunch of realtors figure their 'concept' of a multi-media 'in-house' instructional to motivate 'employees' will produce the type of 'results' they expect from 'finishers'. (my company becomes subsumed as a finisher in their world)
You explain that the 'space' they paid good money for has less than 'state of the art' and producing 'product' to their specs might have been less problematic to the business relationship/their 'vision' IF they had done some homework or thought out what they might done with a 'concept' involving them and their employees and selling shit.
Your a revolutionary and you don't know it yet!
probably close to 100 hours of my time
Add it to that 'angry ball' that burns inside those that get the joke...and hope things will change

But seriously, does it seem to anyone else that so many useless corporations are buying up things just so they can charge people. They want to make money by doing nothing. I heard a statistic the other day that said 46% of all business transactions take place within the same corporation.
Pretty soon corporations will own everything.

MEDIA REPORTER
TV giant Viacom Inc., which owns more than 130 TV networks around the world, has ordered Google Inc. to remove more than 100,000 unauthorized clips from its YouTube website.
YouTube, a wildly popular site where users post homemade video clips and material gleaned from networks, has been in numerous copyright scuffles since it launched in 2005. However, New York-based Viacom is accusing Google of hoarding advertising revenue generated by the increased online traffic YouTube brings to Google's search engine.
"After months of ongoing discussions with YouTube and Google, it has become clear that YouTube is unwilling to come to a fair-market agreement," Viacom said in a statement. "YouTube and Google retain all of the revenue generated from this practice, without extending fair compensation to the people who have expended all of the effort and cost to create it."
YouTube responded by agreeing to pull Viacom content -- which includes clips from U.S. cable channels MTV, Comedy Central and Country Music Television -- off the site immediately. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.200702...
Viacom can go to Hell. Youtube doesn't need them anyway. I'm reading "The Starfish and the Spider".. The corporate media is going extinct. Good riddance. Printer Friendly | Permalink | Reply | Top aaronbees (1000+ posts) Sat Feb-03-07 09:21 AM Response to Original message
10. Why don't they take a cue from CBS and others? Companies that post their videos on Youtube ... free advertising in the new media age sucks, eh?
