Why Stones have very few good video clips?It's my idea that they almost don't care about video clips and stuff?

They had great ones in throughout the early 80s.

Waiting on a friend is one of the best music videos ever made and the ones made in nineties are very well done, either.Strees of Love video is as crappy as the song is but I can't recall any other video by the stones which is atrocious.
Anyway,I do admit that I haven't seen all of their videos.

And She's So Cold is one of the worst !!

Poor Mick is not even close on the lip-synching techniique . They did a very good job in the sixties on the old tv shows though .

I was about to speak up about your She's So Cold remark, but chose to leave it be.

I think they have some great videos. Start me up, it's only rock n roll, love is strong, saint of me, jumping jack flash...

I accidentally saw the Rain Fall Down video, and I was surprised in a positive sense. It grabs the atmosphere of the song quite good, and the sex-thing is nicely orchestered. Not too overdone.

love is strong is my favourite...saint of me
miss you is interesting with that background...

strongly agree with open-g & novica.
"love is strong" by great film/vid and commerical director David Fincher. that one's pretty amazing...

the stones were amongst the ones who invented video clips long before the are being called videos....."we love you" is just terrific, you can't remember? yep, 4 decades ago..

I think the Angie clip where they had Mick T behind the piano and Jagger is giving us his baby-blue eyes was a big mistake. All other clips I can really appreciate. Some of the best (where the video fits the song) are, beside those mentioned above, Respectable and Sex Drive (the artists impression clip).

IORR, Angie, Crazy Mama, Saint Of Me all great. I watched She Was Hot on Youtube the other day and I admit I cringed.

Too Much Blood..is a fookin' scream....
Keith & Ronnie wiv dem chainsaws asmokin'...

Having seen the Too Much Blood video on Youtube, I think I'm entitled to say: TOO MUCH BLOOD ON THE B-STAGE!!

(Why on the B-stage? Cause it will be crowded already with the horns, so the backup singers don't fit on the stage.)

One Hit (To The Body) is a good one. The menace and aggression...nice.

everything from Wainting on A Friend until the present looks fine to me

Crazy mama is bad,She was hot,Miss you,Start me up and some others look very bad to me.But like you mentioned they got great ones like Saint of you and someth others that have the exact same style.

The 3 first you mentioned there are great videos, IMO. I think the videos became lousy around 1989, with a few exceptions like Anybody Seen My Baby.

Sex Drive...... subtle?

youve seen the clips for Dont stop, Gimme shelter (from No security), Streets of Love etc and thought they were "fine" ?

Up until about 1997, no band made more innovative use of rock videos than the Stones did. They broke new ground with several videos such as Harlem Shuffle, Love is strong, Anybody seen my baby, Like a rolling stone and the 'Undercover' clips. In the pre-MTV age, a lot of their promo clips were pretty groundbreaking too, most notably the ones with Peter Whitehead in the 60's and then Michael Lindsay-Hogg.

I love the performance videos of Rough Justice and Streets Of Love. The band simply kicks butt there.

Like a rolling stone video was good?
ABB vids have been good considering the way the singles sell.

>>Too Much Blood..is a fookin' scream....

was Ronnie in there with a chainsaw? ....can't remember.





Oh, and the photography and story board of Like A Rolling Stone was excellent, imo.
