I have no idea how original this news is,
but I've discovered there's a bunch of
Pussycat, White Lion, Bulletboys, etc.
videos at Yahoo Launch.

They also have some great obscure stuff.

Kyle Vincent-Wake Me Up (when the world's worth waking up for)

Star Star-Science Fiction Boy

Celebrity Skin-Hello

Upper Crust-Rabble Rouser

In addition, last check, they had some cool videos by Crue, Ratt, Poison, and Enuff Z'nuff in addition to those you listed. Used to have Quireboys, Jellyfish, Southgang, and Manic Street Preachers...alas, no longer. Do still have Marvelous 3 and a bunch of Bif Naked, however. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Of note, is that the videos of the UK and
US versions of Yahoo are dissimilar. There's
a bunch of lovely Saigon Kick and The Scream
stuff, I hadn't seen before, at the US one. -
There's even a Saxon track conspiciously
lurking there for some reason [img]smile.gif[/img] .

I knew about the Scream stuff (sorry for the ommission) Didn't know about the Saigon Kick. Will have to check that out. Saxon, you say? lol

Didn't take into account the different country's yahoos. I did notice a MSP video on the UK side, however.

I LOVE launch....I'm totally addicted. It has TONS of great videos. Hell, I watch the Scream's "Father, Mother, Son" every day....as well as the FP videos (even though I have all of those on tape)

Love it love it love it...have been addicted to it for months

[creeper2]

the ultras video is there as well

I just had a nose on the UK one, and there's a bunch of cool stuff that I've not seen for ages.
Damn Yankees and Winger as well, hahaha.

Shame it only plays at about 1 frame per sec on my pc!!! The audio's fine though.

Stacy, for what's it worth, even at ADSL2 speeds
(3000kbps) the quality still isn't up to much.
The frame rate's top-notch, but the compression's
a bit dingy. Then again, it's free, what do I
care? I think Yahoo should probably be applauded
for being so mysteriously inclusive of so many
80s gems: it's not often you here people talk
about visiting a corporate portal and finding
'lots of Winger there'. Seriously! I couldn't
believe it.. it's like waking up in Hard N'Heavy
Vol. Ad Finitium hell or something.

I think it'll be interesting to discover how
much importance marketing depts. invest in this,
because they sure ain't making any money off
singles nowadays.

I agree. I can't believe all that old stuff is on there, but I'm glad it is. I guess there must still be demand for it. One glaring ommission though, is White Lion's "Wait". I love that song, but they left that one off for some reason.

[DeviantD]

I can't believe White Lion are reforming.
Well I can, because everyone is, but I can't,
considering the acrimonious way in which
they fell apart.

What do we think of Freak of Nature's 'Outcasts'
CD? Worth the release or not?
