CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I'm at the computer lab right now, so I can actaully watch music videos... rotfl. I've been watching them since 7:30 this morning. I re-watched some of the ones I saw on TVU back in the day and I have decided offically that my three favorite music videos of all time are...

1) Califorina - Hawk Nelson (I SWEAR that's Trevor McNevan that saves them at the end of the msuic video.)
2) Jesus Freak - DC Tak (Its really cool. Kevin is... insane... >.>)
3) My Girlfriend - Relient K (Bwhahaha. Yay for low-bugdetness.)

...X3 Anyone else care to share?;;

Every Tool video is awesome. That's about it.

November Rain
Guns n Roses

It's beautiful and touching...and incredibly sad. But beautiful.

Thriller-Michael Jackson

here are some of my favorites:

12Stones - The Way I Feel
Hocus Pick - I'm so happy
Toby Mac - Irene
Sawyer Brown - 800 pound Jesus
Nate Sallie - Inside Out
Michael W. Smith - Secret Ambition
Caedmon's Call - Hope to carry on
Bob Carlisle - Butterfly Kisses
Big Tent Revival - Choose Life

lol....well i dunno about coolest EVER, but i'm a fan of All over Me by Benjamin Gate. That video is just cool.

the cgi video by linkin park are good, i wasn't too thrilled with the one that's supposed to be like anime though, the artwork is good, but the content of the video just didn't do anything for me, jesus freak is good, pod's alive is good too, demon hunter's i'm not ready to die is pretty cool, so is pillar's bring me down video, that one rocks, the first video of dare you to move by switchfoot was good, but i'm not all that crazy about the newer version, that's all i got, later

'nuff said

I don't care much about the linkin Park video of "breaking the habit" myself, but it WAS animated by the guy in Kill Bill vol. 1...

I like...(blushes) Bye bye bye by N'Sync. Don't hurt me, pleeeeeze

I also like Everybody's Fool by Evanescence. I didn't like the song a whole ot before, but the vid is great.

And the Sum41 one with the diving contest between the Jocks and the Dorks...and the one Weezer one with the Muppets and Miss Piggy kidnaps the drummer. So funny.

Sorry I can't think of any Christian ones now...

Oh, yeah! "Live out Loud" by Steven Curtis Chapman. THAT, i think, was the cliche'd "give people headphones and make them listen to oue music and they actually like it" music video plot done right.

teh final cut of spy hunter by project 86 was good but as fare as the best weard one ive seen so far is bucket head by moter head.

Jesus Walks - Kanye West
Changes - Tupac
In The End and Breaking The Habit - Linkin Park

Johnny Cash's "Hurt" music video directed by Mark Romanek. It won last year's Grammy for Best Music Video. It's dreamlike, surreal but kind of depressing.

Hmm...

I liked Project 86's "Spy Hunter" even though it didn't pick up until the end...yay for using guitars as weapons and cannons!

Relient K's "Chapstick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry" cracked me up. POD's "Alive" was excellently made. It's probably one of the best ones I've ever seen.

Oh, and anything by Weird Al(other than "Gump"*shudders*). "Fat" will never cease to disturb me...

"Memphis was laid in waste" - Norma Jean
"The End of Heartache" - Killswitch Engage
"Black Label" - Lamb of God
"Pitiful" - Blindside
"Kind of the Closet" - Blindside
"Everytime I Doe" - Children of Bodom
"Reinventing your Exit" - UnderOath
and...
"Ride on Shooting Star" - The Pillows

Relient K's "Chapstick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry" cracked me up.

Me too! Hahaha! They got attacked by old people~! XDD

I'll second the vote for Johnny Cash's 'Hurt', that video always gives me goosebumps and it works so well with the music.

Another fave video of mine is the one for 'World on Fire' by Sarah Mclachlan. I'm not really the biggest fan of her music, but the video concept is pretty cool. Apparently, she took the several-thousand-dollar budget, spent $20 on the video itself and donated the rest to third world charities (the video shows what the money was spent on and has funky comparison diagrams). It's kinda the pits though that almost no one has seen it, I think I've seen it played all of twice on Muchmusic (more or less the Canadian equivalent of MTV) but it at least seems to be spreading a bit on the net...

Anyone remember "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats? The goofy medieval scene?

During the party scene in the Fellowship of the Ring movie, I was reminded of that video.

A-ha "Take on me" Girl sitting in a cafe finds a comic book, flips through it, sees the band, several cool effects with a mirror that reverses the comic affect (on one side the singer is real and the girl is drawn, on the other the singer is drawn and the girl is real)
Wierd Al "Fat" The buckles on the MJ leather suit popping, the choreography of large people.....
Wierd AL "Eat it" the exploding guitarist. Nuff said.

No, I haven't seen hardly any music videos for about 15 years.

I'm at loss... I'll get back on those.

I know there's more, but those are all pretty memorable for me at least. I'm not gonna say any of those are the coolest but...

I also like "big House" by Audio A.

*starts bouncing around the house..."BIG BIG HOUSE"*

Naw... but... *pictures AnimeHeretic and righteous_slave in a nursing home* *then pictures RelientK playing there* *And then pictures them attacking RelientK* o.o

Hmm...just a random few.

Korn-Freak On A Leash
Rammstein-Du Hast
Metalica-I Disapear
Linkin Park-In The End (put this one here just for you Pumpkin Korn )

"Bloodwork" by 36 Crazy Fists. Shot in China Town, the band members getting chased by some crazy ninja people...all in classic comic "batman" bubbles. It's great!

"the music's no good without you" by Cher

"Beautiful day" by U2

My favourite is "Hell-Bent" by Kenna. It's kinda trippy and Pink Floyd-esque, or so it seemed to me.. "True Faith" by New Order is another favourite of mine.

Nickel Creek's 'Speak' video is also really cool. heck..THEY are just plain cool. But yup..that video was my intro to them and it's neat.

First, I'd like to award props fro people mentioning "Take On Me," "Hell-Bent," "Hurt," and the collected library of Weird Al. But then, I do't really have any authority to do that, do I? Moving on...

"Learn to Fly" - The Foo Fighters. A chilling (well, make that hillarious) depiction of what happens when narcotics and flying are mixed (each member of the band plays about five charcters a piece)
"Big Me" - The Foo Fighters. Another comedy gem. This one is a parody of those hideous Mentos (sp?) comercials from back in the day
"Novacane for the Soul" - eels. Cool, pre-Croutching Tiger example of wire work
"Fell In Love With a Girl" - The White Stripes. One word: Lego-vision
"So Says I" - The Shins. The Cold War, as depicted by a group of penguins (No, I don't know what it means either)
"Ride" - The Vines. About 20 unknown bands are crammed into a gym somewhere and instructed to mime the same song. Good chaotic fun.
"Sugarcube" - Yo La Tengo. The band's label is unhappy with their video, so they're sent to "The School of Rock" to learn how to do it right (NOTE: this was five years before the Jack Black movie)
Anything by Mark Lowry, the christian Weird Al (for lack of a better term)
Any fo the videos Daft Punk did with Leiji Matsumoto.

No way, I'd be right up front, popping wheelies in my wheelchair.
