Hey,
In a bit of a sleepy haze the other night I witnessed something terrible. it was Mulch, I think, on M2, playing the video for "Never Gonna Stop" by the well-known american Rob Zombie (older brother of the lead singer of Powerman 5000).
This video is a complete copy, to me, of SHihads pacifier vid. Now, any self-respecting NZ music fan whos even slightly in the know would, SHOULD have seen this. If not, maybe it was just me picking up on vague points.
The video was Rob, and his band, doin the normal band thing, but - it struck me as a total rip off of the Pacifier vid.
Because of the following:
-the text on the set walls - the the same style as 'pacifier' in the shihad clip
-the fact they were in some of the video driving round in a car, filmed in the same style as the shihad clip
-the costume they wore was similar - not all black and whitish though
-the bit that 'offended' me most...the very last shot was of someone (rob? not sure) with his purple top hat, close up shot, winking at camera. With little funny make-up things stuff marks whatever under one eye.
I know it doesnt sem like much but watching it, it is!!
Now, the last time i saw the clip for Pacifier was a while ago, and, i was quite tired at the time I saw the Rob Zombie clip BUT straight away i thought FUCKING RETARDS STEALING THE IDEA OF A GREAT SHIHAD VIDEO! has anyone else seen it? I ask anyone whos a Shihad fan/know-all (nothing wrong with that) if they havent seen the video to watch it - download it, request it on m2 or whatever - just see wether i was dreaming or if this dude is asking to be sued.
I know the Pacifier boys themselves are in the counrty right now (YAY True Colours here I come!) so I dont know if/when theyll read this but has ANYONE noticed this??
Its driving me crazy!! ahhh! (like that!) ahhh!
someone please put my mind at rest! grr...americans...
