In the days to come I will be taking your replys to my questions for my work! What do you reckon to this question? How have the music videos made by queen influenced videos since? We are talking paradies/covers/the darkness etc? What good elements have been copied and by who? Have any of the same mistakes been made again?
I just remember a Blur's video, COUNTRYHOUSE was the song I think, in which they took bo-rhap image after, with the four mebers in the dark and light just on their faces and hands
Um, using the video as a promotional tool. Thats about it. As far as concepts in the video's I dont know if any of them where so inventive that people were influenced by them. The group seems to think th concept of them appearing in the kids room in the invincible man was influential. I can't think of any other videos that used that concept but I'm sure some exist but I also cant say for sure Queen did that first.
I think the Bo Rhap video gave other bands the idea to have a video as a promotional tool, but it also showed a way for bands to make money whilst also having a bit of fun themeselves.
