via RHINO / Youtube
When MTV was first introduced to the people, it became an outlet for the rock artists to show not only their creativity in making music but also their ideas for a rowdy and satisfying music video. Since the 80s became the birth of rock metal, most of the videos presented below more likely belong to such category. Get ready to embark on a nostalgic tour with these 15 greatest Rock and Roll music videos to watch. Have fun!
โRun To The Hillsโ โ Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden created โRun To The Hillsโ with a dark message, but their music video for it is lighter than whatโs expected. Its comedy theme can be observed for that one scene where the Native American was about to scalp a settler, only to find out his hair was a wig.
โOneโ โ Metallica
Metallica wasnโt just up for the music video hype not until they released โOne.โ Their debut in the world of MTV gave them the boost of a career that they deserved.
โYou Shook Me All Night Longโ โ AC/DC
It wasnโt until the Who Made Who album that this AC/DC song came to life. With a bit of a narrative along the way, it stars Brian Johnson, Angus, and Malcolm Young who were walking down the street and spotted a pretty girl whom they noticed.
โ18 and Lifeโ โ Skid Row
Skid Rowโs deterrent tale about Poor Ricky, whose childhood became yesterdayโs dream when he spent his life behind bars is actually pretty sad. Its music video is nothing but a tragic one as well.
โHoly Diverโ โ Dio
Dioโs music is often associated with fantasy themes, and therefore he also loves to show his work inside the enchanted world. For โHoly Diver,โ Dio portrays a magic warrior who yields a sword, and inside his final battle, he emerged triumphantly.
โRound and Roundโ โ Ratt
Ratt got lucky to cast the legendary comedian Milton Berle to portray both the husband and the wife downstairs who are upset with the noise that Rattโs been creating at the start of their dinner. Due to this incredible cameo, โRound and Roundโ became the greatest song of all time from the group.
โWe’re Not Gonna Take Itโ โ Twisted Sister
Back when music videos were still loaded with content and angst, โWeโre Not Gonna Take Itโ is among the groupโs most beloved MVs of all time. Rock and roll will live forever indeed.
โWalk This Wayโ โ Run-D.M.C. feat. Aerosmith
โWalk This Wayโ paved the emerging popularity of rap with Run-D.M.Cโs rejuvenating rendition to this Aerosmith song. Not only that, but it also helped boost the almost deteriorating career of the American rock band.
โHome Sweet Homeโ โ Motley Crue
This is probably one of the best rock and roll music videos to gratify your need for a good MV. The hilarious takes are interspersed with one of the groupโs finest performances out there.
โHere I Go Againโ โ Whitesnake
Nothing screams like the 80s that Whitesnakeโs โHere I Go Againโ music video. It remains to be MTVโs most beloved music video of all time.
โPour Some Sugar on Meโ โ Def Leppard
Def Leppard became huge all thanks to their Pour Some Sugar on Meโ music video that significantly got a lot of airplay. The clips of the performance came from their โIn the Roundโ tour.
โJumpโ โ Van Halen
This Van Halen video did not only showcase Eddie Van Halenโs masterful skills from the guitar but also showed an incredible keyboard part. Not only that, the MVโs perfectly good to portray the mightiness that the band is well-known for.
โYou Give Love A Bad Nameโ โ Bon Jovi
Anyone who knows this song could tell you that this was Bon Joviโs breakthrough in music. With its recognizable rhythm as well as remarkable lyrics, thereโs no denying that โYou Give Love A Bad Nameโ is an awesomely great track.
โInstitutionalizedโ โ Suicidal Tendencies
We get it, being a teenager can be tough, since most of the time, your parents cannot understand you. Suicidal Tendencies effortlessly captured that feeling, with Mike Muir embodying the teenage angst that we had during the youthful days.
โWelcome To The Jungleโ โ Guns Nโ Roses
Guns Nโ Rosesโ explicit music video was met with hesitation back on its release, but the high demand made it a classic MTV staple. It also jumpstarted their careers to rise to fame.
