I'm dying over here

There isn't even a best part to quote. The entire thing is side splitting.

 

[FairWarning]

If you want your MTV all grown up, Kennedy is working at Fox News now, looking good.

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm gonna get killed for this, but I never got the B&B love. Of course, I don't like The Simpsons either, so I'm kind of a weirdo like that I guess.

The episodes were ok.

The music video commentaries were the funniest thing on television.

Are you not entertained?

[TheAristocrat]

B&B watch Loverboy

The whole exchange about them playing at the state fair is one of the best things ever.

that is amazing

"the bassist"

One of my favorites

BB on Basket Case by Green Day (

or

"I think that's that dude from Nirvarna"

or

"Eddie Vedder dyed his hair red"

"It's good to see you thinking, Beavis."

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Although not the really early days, my fondest memory of MTV will always be taping 120 Minutes and being able to listen to music I liked that I couldn't find on the radio or easily elsewhere.

Yes, it was this & one local radio show an hour a week for me.

 

[peaces]

I remember those little news breaks with Kurt Loder and then John Norris(?). In those days before the internet they were little golden nuggets of music information.

Where I found out about Yngwie getting arrested & Robert Smith getting married.

Remember hearing about SRV from mtv

I peed in the gym once

 

[Mr. Ected]

MTV didn't invent acoustic music, but it sure made it huge with Unplugged.

 

[modogg]

I think the good influence MTV could have was seen best with Tool in the early 90's. Their videos helped push them into the mainstream that they would never see on radio:

[Mr.Pack]

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned. Seemed like they played it every 30 minutes in the early days. Great video and song.

Great song.

This one brings back memories too

Keep reading.

I think we covered every song from 1980-1990 last night.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Top 5 celebrity crush

Oh yea!

Had myself convinced there was a beaver shot on this video. It was faptacular

 

[Mr.Pack]

When I think of MTV...

This extended Thriller running at the top of every hour when it first came out.

I remember when this premiered. It was all the rage and I remember rushing home from work to catch the premier.

Still happy I did, it's a great video.

 

[comfortably numb]

Promise of a new day was fantastic.

The scene were she leans backwards and you almost feel a boob is gonna slip out. Got me every time

 

[Mr.Pack]

The best MTV video

Definitely up there.

Awesome video

 

[Mr.Pack]

Aerosmith - Amazing

Aerosmith - Cryin'

Aerosmith - Crazy

Alicia Silverstone WAS 90's MTV

And, Walk this Way with Run.

The story of how this version came together is great.

 

[Willie Neslon]

I think this video was well liked

[Mr.Pack]

Another fantastic ####### song which was played heavily in the rotation in the early days.

 

[shuke]

I remember those little news breaks with Kurt Loder and then John Norris(?). In those days before the internet they were little golden nuggets of music information.

Actually hated them, only because of how self important Loder seemed to come across as.

I met those knobs once. Total losers.

Tell us a story, grandpa.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

For me it was watching Club MTV for the few seconds of glimpse time of Camille Grammer dancing

go to the 1:50 mark.....good lord

Thought you were f###ing with me.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Club MTV, anyone?

The ditzy blonde at 1:51 ended up marrying Kelsey Grammer. She was a regular dancer on the show, as was Sandra Taylor ("Sandi Korn" at the time - did Penthouse before Playboy), as was a girl I went to HS with. Some wild BTS stories from that show, lemme tell ya.

LOL...i never saw this post ...thats pretty funny

 

[zamboni]

We got MTV just a little less than a year after it came out.

Late to this thread, but I totally remember that video and the concert when they first aired in on MTV. Think it was late 1982. Always got a kick out of Alex Lifeson's smokin' red smoking jacket.

 

[zamboni]

Double fist-pump: Check

Over Enunciating: Check.

The girl that played Christian was such a fantastic actress that Night Ranger went right back to her in When You Close Your Eyes.

 

[Arizona Ron]

Yo! MTV Raps

 

[zamboni]

Almost positive this was the first video I saw on MTV.

John Waite - Change (also later on the killer Vision Quest soundtrack)

 

[Ned]

I remember those little news breaks with Kurt Loder and then John Norris(?). In those days before the internet they were little golden nuggets of music information.

Actually hated them, only because of how self important Loder seemed to come across as.

I have fond memories at Woodstock '99 when that toolbag came on stage and the entire crowd was chanting "Kurt Loder's a boner".

 

[zamboni]

First oops moment for MTV on day one with the 9th video played:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1toVZvkcu4&list=PLehwH_OvSbh1INMAMduY48hef6nT4tQHn&index=4 (3:58 mark)

Some of the best moments of watching these old clips are the commercials.

This is a joke, right?

oddly enough I knew this because my wife watches the stupid housewives show

 

[zamboni]

Pat Benatar demonstrates how to deal with an abusive pimp: awkwardly dance him off the premises.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGVZOLV9SPo&t=196

The literal video for this one is pretty good. Not as good as Total Eclipse Of The Heart, but well done.

 

[Tackling Dummies]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqnw5IfbZOU

Played every 15 minutes on the hour.

 

[zamboni]

Played every 15 minutes on the hour.

And back when that song was still fresh and not grossly overplayed.

Always thought the drummer was pretty cool.

I used to love the all time video rankings.

I remember when November Rain took over Thriller for the #1 video of all time ranking. IIRC, that was the first video that knocked Thriller off. I think Jeremy was #1 for awhile as well. When Cobain died, Teen Spirit took it over. Then when Biggie died, Hypnotize took over the spot for awhile. Then I think it went back to Thriller.

Whose ranking system was that - I don't recall.
