Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[iamthatguy32]

Someone in the crowd at our record label's launch party last month got this video of us. This was a great show, we headlined in front of 200 people! We ended up selling something like $110 worth of merch that night!

That was a raucous number - loud and proud... 

We have enough T'bird players here so some more home-grown material would be a nice inclusion...

Nice!  I notice that Cornick's bass line differs from what was finally recorded.

I'm off for a week and caught up with some material I'd recorded off the sat and they had shown a Lerner film of them at the Isle of Wight festival in '70 - some one had posted it so I thought I'd put it up... there's quite a bit of their material knocking about...

Do RDs count? Voilà, Germany's early eighties answer to Toto:

The black cat bass player - Ken Taylor - went on to become one of Germany's most demanded session and touring bass players.

[Highlander]

Nearly, but do they fit into the "fat-bottomed" video thread more neatly...?

Now there's a thought... how about Explorers...

Visually, an RD is close to a Firebird with its off-set body (and was most likely intended to look that way), but the wood components of course indicate the Ripper family ...

[Highlander]

Your the Master when it comes to such things - official decision required...

RD or not RD, that is the question...

 And here we are..........

From 07/14/2012 @ Tacoma, Wa. Pride.
Our first show ever in Tacoma. we had a great time the event organizers took good of us, providing roadies, food, drink a nice big stage and a first rate sound crew. It turned out that their lead man is a big fan and was excited to see us play, we have about 600 peeps and it was truly a day to remember!
 It was 80 degrees out which left me gassed after a 45 min. set but it was well worth it, we took home a cool 1k and memories for a lifetime - I love my band!

Ah, Marilyn, always a wholesome sight, as American as apple pie. New album ain't bad either. I know it's Disneyland for goths, but I have a soft spot for him. "Ze bjootyfill peeple, ze bjootyfill peeple ...". Good old-fashioned fun.

I'll give the little Ohio geek credit for knowing how to market and sell what he does.  I still remember little Brian Warner on American Bandstand with hi Britney Spears lunchbox.
I know that the studio version of "Beautiful People" was done on a Les Paul bass.  Of all things, that fact came out on the cable show, Cribs, when Dave Navarro showed the bass hanging on his wall.
