Banned cos of the child abduction theme. A bit tasteless yes but if this was banned I can think of a lot more that should have been banned too.

I did not even know this video existed until recently, they pretty much got cut out of the picture by MTV after a couple plays of "nonstop to nowhere" and Grunge rock dominance taking over.. but there was one more video...
this is taped from Much Music, Canada, a ticker tape explains a voting to save the banned video-----
Faster Pussycat - Body Thief
https://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=...JC00XDL9ZFYL8A
it may have been an issue of convenience at the time. MTV did not want to play this kind of music any more. they may have been just lookin for any excuse not to play it................................
Would anybody like other Faster Pussycat videos posted, tell me which one(s) [img]graemlins/bat.gif[/img]

MTV played plenty of glam after that, it was purely down to what I mentioned.

<font size="4" face="Arial">or in 1991, seems like they were trying to fit in to what was happening at the time, the look of this video and the one made right before "nonstop to..." are like night and day, MTV banning was probably the last straw, like most bands of their kind around '91, the record label let them goQuote:

WOW must just be me......... but I thought there was so much great stuff coming out that still got airplay, bands that are still around today..........
MTV2 over here today I have seen Backyard Baies once and Hardcore Superstar
MTV 2 is alright, the problem is most good bands are not on major labels in the U.S., this cuts them out of the picture at least 90% of the time.
MTV supports the Majors, not the Indies.
Once in a while an old school band will break through..
ex. Buckcherry-self titled CD
"check your head" got put in heavy rotation
Mtv 2 will play more Modern or "NEW" rock crap, MTV only cares about Hip-Hop and dance, and the occasional Green Day sighting
you guys seem to have it better over in Europe, Backyard Babies have never had a real record deal over here( 2 indie releases), Hardcore Superstar have none i'm pretty sure, we have a couple small labels that keep the rock n roll alive, not enough clout to put it back in the mainstream though......

I don't quite get you. Maybe I don't want to but you don't make sense.
ok laymens terms
ROCK N ROLL, get's almost ignored by the record industry in the U.S.,
More than Half of the Rock n Roll/Glam CD's that I buy are from outside the US,
U.S. artits playing Rock n Roll have a better chance getting their music released outside the U.S. (Izzy, Vain,Buckcherry)
<font size="4" face="Arial">At what date are you saying that rock/glam music got ignored? What's your point here?Quote:

The more dramatic, and popular explanation was
"Music changed the day those first chords of Nirvana's "smells like teen spirit" blasted over the airwaves "
Nope I disagree but, hey, the best news is, I really think its getting a revival, esp from Scanda Glam.
Hardcore Superstar, Matlocks, Louud n Nasty.
Hairglamfan. Yes, there is good music out there, but it's still getting ignored by US radio, and MTV/MTV2. It was right around '92, when grunge hit that it got ignored by all media here in the US. Since Seattle is more or less the grunge capital of the world, we here in the NW get absolutely nothing. Even the old school hair bands that go out on package deals just skip the NW. Even when we do happen to get something up ere, there is no support from radio or anything, so nobody even knows, so not many people show.
It sucks.
