Well if you’re really looking for outrageous, check out It’s a Hard Life by Queen. Amazingly, Freddie Mercury looks like Amy Winehouse… in a multi-eyed surrealist jumpsuit… in a 18th century Salon. Either that or I Want to Break Free.

He’s ROCKIN!!! That motherfucker is IN THE ZONE!!!

Doors: Unknown Soldier

Good job RS.

But if you want truly outrageous, you have to look beyond the professional videos and go to the bizarre realm of amateur music video.

Not for the intolerant:

T hats one of the more coherent videos out there. It goes downhill from there.

oh and i think its pretty “outrageous” (whatever that means) that sonic youth made a video for the diamond sea

daft punk – around the world

The only freakeshly 5 outrageous videos in rock are:
Aerosmith – Love in an elevator

Madonna- Justify My Love
Prodigy- Smack My Bitch

Olivia Newton John- Physical
Aphex Twin- Come To Daddy
Madonna- Like A Prayer
Bloodhound Gang- Bad Touch (Uncensored)

please excuse me if I forgot any other music video directors I may have missed.

Such as David Fincher & many more.

Definetly Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up” Nine Inch Nails “Closer”

How could I have forgotten Aphex Twin’s “Come To Daddy?” That video scared the shit out of me when it first debuted and it still scares the shit out of me!

the most controversial and outrageous would have to be jay-z’s “99 problems.” but the most intense video is metallica’s “st. anger.”

closer by nin
smack my bitch up by prodigy
do the evolution by pearl jam

most intense video is st anger?

You need to get out more.

nine inch nails-closer

Nine Inch Nails – Closer

And the Broken “movie.”

Annnddd Survivalism.

I’d say heart shaped box by nirvana…you’ve got a pleather of reaching-for-the-censor-button mateial…a little kid fro the KKK, a crucified old man represented as santa claus, religious articles strewn about and lets not forget that mettalic silver jacket…

LIKE A VIRGIN

by GOD.

I mean MADONNA

hey, i have a question…is it outragious as in shocking ie. videos that were cencored or MTV and caused controvery, or Outragiouse as in Simply Really Good and outragious, because some1 said beck: Loser and Daft Punk: Around the world which sounds like the second. can some1 please clear this up, as I thought it was the first definition.

Loser – Beck.

korn-freak on a leash

i mean c’mon its considered one of the greatest music videos of all time. if you havn’t seen it please do me a favor and watch that music video wether you like korn or not it an amazing music video.

‘heart shaped glasses’ is a work of art, as are ‘justify my love’ and ‘closer’, but i only ever remember thinking ‘oh shit’ over and over while i watched ’smack my bitch up’ for the first time.

“Epic” by Faith No More: The best Non-Controversial Controversial video.

“Smack My Bitch Up” by Prodigy
“War All The Time” by Thursday (Surprisingly had some controversy)
“Closer” by Nine Inch Nails
“Come To Daddy” by Aphex Twins (That scares the hell out of me)
“Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana

Finally the one I can’t believe hasn’t been mentioned…

Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears. At the time, lets be honest, an underage girl in catholic school clothes and a half folded in shirt basically dry humping the floor and a basketball.

total eclipse of the heart by bonnie tyler.

i mean, seriously. dancing ninjas? flying kids with glowing eyes?

the ultimate in outrageous music videos.

“dancin’ in the streets,” by david bowie and mick jagger terrifies the living shit out of me ’til this very day. maybe that should be on the list.

I’d say the video Francis Ford Coppola did for “The End” by the Doors, complete with napalm clouds, drunken mirror punching, and animal/human sacrifice, also known as the opening and closing scenes of “Apocalypse Now”

nellys tip drill video i mean the dude swipes a credit card through a chicks ass crack

Rammstein – Mein Teil

How about the Stonehenge moment in This Is Spinal Tap? We have dwarf exploitation AND a Stonehenge replica in danger of being crushed. Outrageous, excessive and HILARIOUS.

I’d have to say Chris Cunningham’s video to “Come to Daddy” by Aphex Twin. It’s definitely the best of ‘em all!

This Notes for You-

NEIL YOUNG

I mean GOD.

(banned by EmptyV)

happiness in slavery – by nine inch nails. not for the squeamish, it features performance artist bob flannigan beinging sacrificied to a big menacing machine. easily the most outrageous video over. don’t believe me, check it out at:

http://www.youtube.com/wat ch?v=5akw3rUSMV8

yeah “freak on a leash” is amazing. its so outrageous that its hard to explain it, like riley said if you havn’t seen it go and see it now!!!!!!!

oh yeah “freak on a leash” is buy KoRn, just incase you didnt know.

smack my bitch up – prodigy
justify my love – madonna
alala – css
boom – system of a down
bad touch – bloodhound gang

fluorescent adolescent – arctic monkeys

most f***ed up video ever!!!!

“God”, by Tori Amos (a kick in the a*s to all the religions, especially the comparison of the jew guy with a drug addict).

“Closer”, by Nine Inch Nails.

“The beautiful people”, by Marilyn Manson (oh, c’mon, “Heart shaped glasses” is not even interesting).

“Pagan poetry”, by Björk.

And, the most violent video that I’ve seen is of a guy from Venezuela called Delfín. He made a song called “Torres Gemelas” (Twin Towers in spanish). It is a dance song with a terrible lyric about how his girlfriend died on 9/11. But everything is so awful that is really disturbing.

schism – tool

Outrageous = “Happiness in slavery” by NIN

Most Outrageous Videos:

Rock DJ – Robbie Williams (he rips off his own muscles.. hel-lo)

Hungry Like The Wolf – Duran Duran (outrageously sexist and racist)

Baby Got Back – Sir Mix a Lot

happiness in slavery – nine inch nails

freak on a leash-by KoRn

Beck-Loser

“push it” by garbage. nine years after it came out i can watch it now and still see something i never saw before. mtv was dead to me after this original and unique video was beaten out for video of the year by the backstreet boys.

public enemy – son of a bush

skinny puppy – worlock

nas – hate me now

george michael – i want your sex

and as for the video for “they don’t care about us” by mj, the original video for the song set in the prison was the controversial version as i recall… and even then, the controversey was more about the song than the video for the use of the word kike…

Aphex Twin “Come to Daddy”
Aphex Twin “Windowlicker”
Nine Inch Nails “Closer”
Nine Inch Nails “Sin”
The Prodigy “Smack My Bitch Up”

Black or White- Jacko, where he smashes up that car and touches himself.

“Mary Jane’s Last Dance” by Tom Petty. Gotta love necrophilia.

Happiness In Slavery – Nine Inch Nails
Closer – Nine Inch Nails.
Madonna- Like A Prayer

Just saw the new Silverchair one. Over the top-over produced lets all throw everything into the kitchen sink garbage.
Kind of entertaining though…

I want your sex- George Micheal. For the time it was pretty Scandalous.

Taste It- INXS. Very cool video that got banned from MTV in 92.

Justify my Love and Erotica by Madonna.

Happiness is Slavery from NIN

closer…NIN…
[uncensored version]

Number one video ever…I don’t know if anyone else said this one, or if I am lame for saying it, I don’t care…

Peter Gabriel “Sledgehammer”. What a great video-dancing chickens and everything, it just never stopped. Great video…”Big Time” was in the same vein, just not as great.

Warped-RHCP
A sorta fairytale-Tori Amos (weird but beautiful)
Thriller-Michael Jackson (got to give the guy some credit, his videos are almost always good)
Come to daddy-Apphex twins gives me the creeps.

Not sure of the title but there was a video by the group Cradle of Filth that was messed up!!

happyness is slavery-NIN
freak on a leash-korn

their both outrageous!!!!

How could nobody mention Britney Spears’ “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” Let’s be honest, not as disgusting or freaky as Closer/Come To Daddy or Smack My Bitch Up BUT at the time think about it. An underage girl in an apparent catholic school, in catholic school girl outfit but then rolling it up. She then procedes to hump the hell out of a basketball and a gym floor. First of its kind with a sexually provacative minor.

Oh yeah, and Walking Contradiction by Green Day was crazy.

Michael Jackson-”Leave Me Alone”
Musiq-”Halfcrazy(Remix )”
Jill Scott-”Getting In The Way”
TLC-”What About Your Friends”
Method Man & Redman-”Tear Da Roof Off”
De La Soul-”Me, Myself & I”
The Roots-”The Next Movement”
Ludacris-”Southern Hospitality”
Missy Elliott-”Sock It To Me”
No Doubt-”Ex-Girlfriend”
Cake-”T he Distance”
Beck-”The New Pollution”
Cassius-”1999(Remi x)”

freak on a leash,right now, and shoots and ladders are all very outrageous by korn!!!! any of those make the list and i’d be happy!!!!

animal collective – peacebone

Life wasted by pearl jam. Just trying to follow it will make you sick

“Heart-Shaped Box” by Nirvana
“Around the World” by Daft Punk

‘Nuff said!

Pagan Poetry by Björk, that video it’s so fucked up (Björk topless, piercing herself and showing computer generated graphics of sex) but you can’t deny Bjork’s greatness

hEart-shaPed-boX

N I R V A N A

Many people have mentioned Aphex Twin’s “Come to Daddy”; other Aphex/Chris Cunningham collaberations worth adding and “Windowlicker” and “Rubber Johnny”. Others to think about -
UNKLE – “Rabbit in Your Headlights”
Mogwai – “Hunted by a Freak”
Daft Punk – “Interstella 5555″, an entire anime film set to every track on the album Discovery

Sick Sick Sick–QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE!

Sick Sick Sick–QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE!

Mixed Bizness (Beck)

Mixed Bizness (Beck)

Probably something by GG Allin ….. Oh Yeah! .. I’m really glad he’s dead.

jeremy – pearl jam

it might have been considered controversial, but it delivers an important message.

whipit

Prison Sex and Stinkfist by Tool

Rock DJ by Robbie Williams, Closer by NIN. Very outrageous videos

Black And White – Michael Jackson (specifically the crotch-grabbing scenes)

Videos ??? Where can you go to see videos these days ???

I WANT MY MTV… circa-1982

The Tube Music Network was in the Pittsburgh market temporarily, and all they did was show videos (honest !!!)

MTV and VH1 need to dissolve, and start from scratch.

Happiness in Slavery- NIN
Pagan Poetry- Bjork
Heart-Shaped Box- Nirvana
Rabbit in Your Headlights- UNKLE
Come Undone- Robbie Williams (even crazier than Rock DJ)

Anythin by P. Diddy, like “Victory” are outrageous as hell. Also, any Tool video will do. they are exteremely complex and epic. I’d say Pearl Jam’s Do the Evolution is more controversial than Jeremy.

i’m sorry, i don’t know what a music video is, i remember something of the sort when i was kid, but wouldn’t know where to find one today.

The already mentioned Prodigy and NIN videos are the most outrageous – pretty hard to top.

But, I’m surprised nobody mentioned MSTRKRFT – ‘Easy Love’…no nudity but it’s so dirty I’m surprised it was even shown on tv.

“I Know What Boys Like”-The Waitresses

“I Touch Myself”-The Divynyls

Michael Jackson should not be part of this discussion-sicko, yes, outrageous? I don’t CARE if he touches himself
