[ music plays ] Michael Jackson is the man of the 80s. Man music that is all beat and talk. Its rap music. My life is over, so i might as well speak my mind pauley heavy metal, it glorifies sex and violence. It hates authority, and adolescent boys love it. Swaggart this weird, Beastly Presentation that was birthed in the pit of hell. Move it back. Officer john lennon as he was entering his premise was shot by an unknown at this time white male. Miller the world has reacted with immense shock and grief to the first Rock And Roll assassination. It was like in one moment the 60s and 70s got murdered. Man in his life, has given more love than most men and women on the face of this earth. Were here to prove love is not dead, even though john is. Graham you know, you start the decade with the death of a beatle. You dont really know where youre going to go from that point, culturally or musically. Announcer for a while it seemed there was nothing new on the horizon. Announcing the latest achievement in home entertainment. The power of sight video. The power of sound stereo. Mtv, music television. [ rock music plays ] we are so excited about this new concept in tv. Well be doing for tv what fm did for radio. [ music plays ] quinn at the time the world was saying, we dont think anybody is going to watch videos over and over, but we knew we had something special. Ooh, my little pretty one my pretty one when you gonna give me some time, sharona . Brown mtv made you feel like those artists were in the room. You had a personal concert all day. Crack that whip kasem when you have the rotation of, say, 100 different videos being rotated over and over on mtv, they do a great job of exposing new acts. Here in my car where the image breaks down will you visit me, please if i open my door in cars . Majewski britain was ahead of the curve. They had a ton of videos in their inventory. And that was what paved the way for this accidental second british invasion. Jennings if you look at some of the groups on popular charts in america today, you cant help asking, where on earth did they come from . Well, the answer is the same today as it was two decades ago. They come from britain. The music isnt anything like the famous group that came from there, the beatles. You got to understand they were 20 years ago. Were a new generation, a new wave. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when i met you connelly by the early 1980s, new wave is used to describe sleek, Dressy Cool Bands that are coming out of england. Dont you want me, baby dont you want me, oh graham british artists all understood how to use visuals in a way that american artists didnt necessarily get that quickly. Do you really want to hurt me . Do you really want to make me cry . Boy george do you really want to hurt me . Is a good song. Its a song that old people like and young people like. So i think the proof is in the pudding. Buy it and eat it. Majewski mtv actually met with duran durans managers and said, were looking for kind of like james bond videos, on location, and their managers are the ones that went to the band members and said, look, we really need to up the ante with these clips. We need to give this channel something theyve never seen before. Moving on the floor now, babe youre a Bird Of Paradise man there are some that have accused your videos of being soft porn. Well, excuuuuse me [ laughter ] we like to call them tastefully smutty. Her name is rio and she dances on the sand just like that River Twisting through the dusty land and when she. Rodgers when i first met duran duran, they were saying that they thought they looked like rock stars, so why not become rock stars . [ cheering ] dont stand, dont stand so dont stand so close to me man why do you think were so popular over there . Sting i think theres a tradition that goes back over the past 20 years from the days of the beatles and Rolling Stones where british bands seem to be better at it than americans. Glenn the police have sold 4 million albums in one year. Rolling stone chose them as the best new band of the year, taking note of the swirling, dreamy, soaring quality of the sound. Giant steps are what you take Walking On The Moon Melvoin it was incredible to see them, and i couldnt believe what i was hearing out of three people. I was shocked. Man i once read that you were called the pink floyd of the 80s. What do you think of that . Were not at all. Were the cure of the 80s. And i know i was wrong when i said it was true that it couldnt be me and be her in between without you majewski The Holy Trinity of alternative British Music is the cure, depeche mode, and the smiths. All three of them started out as these fringe bands that by the end of the 80s were selling out stadiums. Give it to me will you take the pain i will give to you again and again and will you return it . [ cheers and applause ] whats new order, Computer Programmers or musicians . Id say neither, actually. What are you, then . Eh, bank robbers. How does it feel to treat me like you do when youve. Majewski in the u. K. , disco did not suck. It never sucked. And bands like new order combined it with the new synthesizer sound, and they gave us these incredible songs that got us out on the dance floor. I still find it so hard to say what i need to say i like whats happening in dance places now over the last year or two. I think the music is becoming very healthy. Oh, oh, oh. Ill be the judge of that. Oh, thats nice. Oh searchable, verified reviews. Thats better than the ham, and ive never said that. Booking. Com booking.

It has made overnight stars out of rock groups whose records had been gathering dust. This year the first since 1978 business is finally up. And the reason is music videos. We had no idea that music videos would have that much of an impact on the musical culture. It changed the entire dynamic of what you had to do as far as promotion was concerned. You had to be a Performance Artist as well as a musician. Fox the fox rat on the rat man the intelligent ones recognize that its a marriage between the visual artist and the musician at this point. Monkey dont youre going to Shock The Monkey Hays the man or the woman who finds the right combination will take it all. Lets dance put on your red shoes and dance The Blues Rodgers when david and i decided that we were going to work together, it was pretty clear to me that david wanted to make a commercial album, you know. Now im going to go make a pop record, but it was going to be his version of pop. Bowie my songs always tend to be impressionistic or even have a surreal quality to them, and on this album is the first time that i really tried to adapt to a didactic kind of approach to some writing. If you should fall into my arms tremble like a Flower Spheeris artists in the 80s, and david bowie, for that matter, realized if you want to make it, you got to be on mtv. Man but theres one group thats not happy with mtv. Many black artists who have been told their music doesnt fit the format. James thats whats happening. We are being sat in the back of the bus television style. And if pittman gets away with this, then there are others cable shows that are going to try it. Pittman mtv doesnt exclude black acts. What mtv does exclude is music thats not Rock And Roll. Mtv came out with no consideration on how to infuse black music into their mix. I am just floored by the fact that there are so few black artists featured on it. Why is that . We have to try and do what we think not only new york and los angeles will appreciate but some town in the midwest that would be scared to death by prince or a string of other black faces. Interesting. Okay. Thank you very much. When are we going to see anybody of color on mtv, because you said music television. When are you going to start covering all genres of music . Whoo music has no color. And it shouldnt have color. And i dont believe in that. What i do, i dont want it labeled black or white. I want it labeled its music. [ cheers and applause ] 1983, motown has this big tv special, motowns 25th anniversary. At that time thriller is out and thriller is doing well. But Michael Jackson couldnt get billie jean on mtv. She was more like a beauty queen from a Movie Scene Lover when the rest of the world was going crazy and he cant get on mtv Michael Jackson come on [ Crowd Screaming ] graham when he does that moonwalk, if you were sitting on the couch, by the end of it you were on the floor in front of the tv. You couldnt believe what you were seeing. Questlove i would say that the moonwalk was really one of the first viral moments that affected rock history. The next week thriller started selling a million copies a week. I like Michael Jackson because he can sing good, hes bad and he knows how to dance. Hes so sexy and so gorgeous. Hes exciting Michael Jackson is the man of the 80s. Graham mtv starts to get pressure from cbs records, which was Michael Jacksons label. Rock and roll in itself really was the thing that broke a lot of rules. And when youre very successful, you try to make your own rules occasionally. Graham as the story goes, cbs essentially said, we will pull every other artist we have on mtv if you dont play this. They had to be essentially blackmailed into doing it. It doesnt matter whos wrong or right just beat it he was the artist that mtv really needed. They didnt know they needed him, but boy, when we started to see the Michael Jackson videos, it was just unbelievable. And no ones going to. Questlove then theres the domino effect. Suddenly you see prince videos from Warner Brothers do the same thing. So tonight im going to party like its 1999 pauley prince wasnt just materializing out of nowhere. Where was he before this video was done . Prince was a huge star on black radio stations. People he had a real underground cult following, and he was a very sexy, hot performer. The sweat of your body covers me can you, my darling, can you picture melvoin prince loved the idea that he was taking his Punk Funk Music and turning it on to a white audience, and that wouldnt have happened if not for mtv. This is what it sounds like when the doves cry when i was younger, i always said that one day i was going to play all kinds of music and not be judged for the color of my skin but the quality of my work. I only want to see you only going to see you in the Purple Rain Wilson prince had a great androgyny. He blurred the gender line. He sings, he writes, he plays. Every time i see him, its just like, oh, really . Okay, i quit [ guitar solo ] hoffs when he plays guitar, its just part of his body in a way that ive never really seen before. And its not contrived, its just its just happening. Majewski what was his music . Was it r b . You know, his music was just straight down the middle, mainstream, grab you by the throat, and balls, pop. We go down to the river and into the river we dive at this point a lot of it is about being there, which is why we havent done too much of the video thing. A lot of it is it allows too much distance, like what our band is about is about breaking down distance. Connelly bruce was all about credibility and intelligence and integrity. So how would he translate his music and his attitude toward the world to what seemed like this frivolous world of the music video . Bruce is not going to be next to a winking model on a sailboat. Cant start a fire you cant start a fire without a spark this guns for hire he ends up doing, essentially, a Concert Video starring a then unknown courteney cox. Its like this weird recreation of something that organically happens at a Bruce Springsteen concert. Born in the usa if there was an artist in the 80s who transcended the music video, hes the guy. He is the one guy that didnt actually need to do great music videos to still be a great artist. Hes Bruce Springsteen. It was great music. Born in the usa Chevy Silverado has what it takes to do it all. With up to 13 camera views. And the z71 offroad package. You ok . Yeah. Any truck can help you make a living.

David bowie, mick jagger, billy joel, rod stewart all famous, all rich, and all men. Rock and roll has been pretty much dominated by men until the last few years. Youre a heartbreaker fox pat benatar is hot, very hot. Three albums in the past three years, all million sellers, and the latest album hit the top of the charts in just one month. Her style is defiant, raucous, tough, and very sexy. We are young heartache to heartache we stand no promises, no demands it appears to me that the one on stage is what i would picture a modern woman to be. Someone who is aggressive and soft at the same time, has a lot of strength and conviction, and can look good and still have brains. Wild you would think in the era of music becoming a visual form more than ever that it would all be about objectification, but there were a lot of strong women on that video screen. Man meet the darlings of l. A. s new music scene, the gogos. See the people walking down the street unlike earlier girl groups such as the ronnettes or the supremes, the gogos write their own songs and play their own instruments. They got the beat they got the beat, they got the beat yeah, they got the beat majewski that was as punk rock as it got for me. To see girls up there, you know, not just singing backup or not just standing in some cool outfit in front of a band, like they were the band. Doesnt matter what they say and the jealous Games People Play hey, hey, hey gumbel while the gogos have always managed to look like theyre having fun, they are to be taken seriously. Theyre the First Female Group ever to have a number one album, and they are at the top of The List Of Female Rock Stars Whose impact within the industry is stronger than ever. The phone rings in the middle of the night my father yells, what you gonna do with your life . Hoffs i thought her voice was extraordinary, and cyndi was a very good visual content creator. I mean, those videos were so colorful and fun. This being march 31st, its also a monday. Some of you might consider it a manic monday. You would be interested in knowing theres a hit song of the same name. We are joined by the architects of that song. They are the bangles. You guys are very hot, yes . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] 6 00 already, i was just in the middle of a Dream Majewski when the bangles came out, everyone was like, oh its another gogos. The bangles were like, unhunh. Were not the new gogos, were the new beatles. But i cant be late cause i guess ill just. Gumbel lot of people call that a 60s sound. Do you think so . Thats our main influence. We dont go in and consciously say, lets make this a Buffalo Springfield song. That seems to be the way the songs end up sounding. Just another manic monday oh oh oh i wish it was sunday oh oh oh theres always a certain amount of people who will never take women as a group seriously. Man i mean, its run by a very chauvinistic, id imagine, Recording Industry. Hoffs we concentrated on the music. We dont really worry about those things. We just keep writing songs. I think that there was a little bit of an attitude like, theyre okay for chic
