Brian humiliated in IAHL Video ?

Oh yes, Roger has gone on record somewhere that he hated it.
You can clearly see Roger saying to John at the 3.04 mark, "Oh, fuck off", no doubt in response to the director's instructions LOL

Best Works song according to me. Love it, love the video.

But it is more a Freddie focused video.

I love the commentary on the Greatest Hits videos. It's basically Brian and Roger taking the role of Beavis and Butthead and poking fun at the cheesiness of their own music videos.

Has anyone thought of extracting the commentary tracks off the GVH discs to mp3? It would be nice to listen to them like on the commentary disc from Absolute Greatest.

You can get the one with It's A Hard Life a few posts above.

I get the first three, but I couldn't see any mythological woodland creatures in I Want To Break Free.

I LOVE the "short promotional film" for the song "It's A Hard Life"!!!

Wasn't the whole concept of IAHL video based on some of the Edgar Allan Poe's work ?

I always liked that video. I don't see why they had a problem with it. A lot of other rock stars and pop stars looked a lot worse in other videos during the 80s than they did in that one.

Well for one they did not look bad. They are just ironically trying to cover some sort of demographic by saying they were not in favor of it. They looked amazing.

I think there is a scene in The Masque of the Red Death and that might remind you of the party scene in It's a Hard Life.
