Water shooting out of a Ric!

Post by kennyhowes »

I liked this song & video when I was in high school, but it hasn't aged very well:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LQ0ov4Xes1s&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LQ0ov4Xes1s&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/youtube]

The only hair worse than Darryl's in this clip is G.E. Smith's duo-tone mullet.

Too funny! What does water splashing about have to do with the song, or a Rick? Must be some sort of primitive 80s version of a conceptual video mixed with a pseudo live performance.

That's quite a mane DH has on his head.

The band should have called itself The Mullets! Those are some major mullets going on in that video. The mullet; the most snduring hairstyle in rock n' roll. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

May come off as dated, but DH can sing. That song was one I played a lot when I was modding cd players for my articles. A lot of great tones in that one. Rick bass you think?? Loved the grind. Couldn't see well enough in the vid to tell. Method of Modern Love was another one I used for the clarity. Dang, I gotta dig that cd out again.

Great share, Kenny!

May be a Rick bass, one used on this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAaFt7_6qvk at 3:50 in....

I was looking for a clip of All American Girl - great Rick slap bass sounds.

Cool, I never knew that Tom "T-Bone" Wolk ever used a Rick.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Watch Rush's Exit Stage Left video during Red Barchetta or By-Tor or any of the other concept-y songs for an even more hilarious visual experience.

I've gotta say, I was never a big fan of "Haulin' Oats".
That video is pretty funny, I'm gonna guess they didn't hire ILM to do the special effects... :lol: :lol:
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

In the '80's I was into the new and happenin', The Cure to Hall & Oats. But I sure don't remember that song.
I'm thinkin' at some point in time Kenny had a mullet!
