Every once in a while, I'll bust out a DVD. The other day, I watched my Early Years (Iron Maiden) DVD, it's great, has videos and concerts, a documentary, etc.
And then I watched Visions of the Beast, another 2-DVD Maiden set, this one featuring ALL of their official song videos. Overall, it sucks, Maiden's videos aren't very good. Of course, if the song is good, I can watch the full video, but there are some real clunkers on there. The video for Virus is a catastrophe. It's bad enough that the song is absolute shite, but it's like they also totally lowered their standards for the video. I don't understand how Steve Harris approved this garbage.

Blah, Blah, Blah... Watch at your own risk, I take zero responsibility for your Wasted Minutes: It's like a lower budget version of a low budget Anthrax video and I did in fact watch it all. My thoughts on it are that I have... too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind. Can't ease this pain so easily. When you can't find the words to say, hard to make it through another day and it makes me want to cry, throw my hands up to the sky.

Yeah, this one ain't good either, but at least they spare us the cheap special effects. The band is screwing around and showing their silly side and that's ok, and at least we have some sluts in there. And we don't have to listen to Blaze's boring vocals...

Maiden always struggled with videos. They were never clever enough to be interesting, or blatantly stupid enough to make us think they were in on the joke. The results are basically Spinal Tap, in real life.
The worst was the live video Raising Hell, of Dickinson's last show in '93. They had a magician "kill" Bruce at the end. Extremely cheesy.

I see Steve Harris likes to put out garbage.
Dickinson's always been a goofy fuck. Says so in his own book, he does.

It's always been this one, at least from a big-time act: Damn! That is terrible. I can't imagine anyone watching it the whole way through. The parts I watched just now gave me epilepsy.

Seems like an alternate version they put out (why?!) Maiden also redid some of their videos with animated bullshit inserted into the original videos (again: why?!)...
Anyways, this is the real promo video, and it's quite dated, but not horrible by any means!

MTV played the 'heat vision" version much more often than the other one. I don't ever remember seeing that one.
