Music video directors!

Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris husband and wife are together one of the greats when it comes down to directing a music video.


directing videos for artist such as R.E.M, The Ramones, Britney Spears, Red Hot Chillie Peppers, Janet Jackson, The offspring, Korn and Oasis.


Red hot chillie peppers have had many videos directed by the married couple Dayton and Faris including the zephyr song, by the way, californiacation and road trippin. perhaps my favourite out of those is the video for califoniacation where the video is based on a video game, the band where put through different levels on the game and was something completely different for the industry.





One video that stands out for me in dayton and faris resumes is the video for The smashing pumpkins tonight, tonight.




but for me their the 2000 mtv best short form music video for korns freak on a leash.

BAND CASE STUDY

In Manchester, 1991 a band was formed, They were called The Rain and if u asked most of the british public who they were, they would probably tell you they've never heard of them. But if I was to say the iconic name of the lead vocalist, you will know who they became.

Liam Gallagher formed The Rain with Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuian and Tony McCarroll. However everything changed when Liams older brother Noel Gallagher joining when the band changed their name to Oasis.

Oasis were signed to independent record label Creation Records, releasing their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994.

1995 saw a new side of oasis with public rivalry with Blur as well as public feuds between the two brothers.

1997 witnessed the release of oasis third album which became the fastest selling uk album of all time, however lost band members Paul McGuigan and Paul Arthurs.

2000 came the album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

2002 Heathen Chemistry was the next album released being the last album with the contribution of long time drummer Alan White.

2005 saw dont believe the truth, the 6th studio album.

2008 saw the last studio album of oasis dig out your soul, nothing special was to come from this album which came to great dissapointment as 2009 came shock.

2009 saw the end of oasis as noel claimed enough was enough and tells how he can never work with his brother again.

What became of the likley lads

Wednesday 7 October 2009

Please don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
Will call the Likely Lads
But if it's left to you
I know exactly what you'd do
With all the dreams we had
Just blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

If you pipe all summer long
Then get forgiven in a song
Well that's a touch, my lad
They sold the rights to all the wrongs
And when they knew you'd give me songs
Welcome back, I said
The blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became of forever?
Though, we'll never know

Please don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
Will call the Likely Lads
We all bought the ones
We taught 'em all
we wrote the songs
That's filled with dreams we have
But blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became of forever?
We'll never know!
