BANG YOUR HEAD!!! - A series of shared videos from my youth.

1.  I didn't know Soundgarden was "grunge" or "alternative", which was all about REM as far as I knew. For me SG bridged 80s metal to the 90s.

   Soundgarden - Rusty Cage: http://youtu.be/pBZs_Py-1_0  around that time theBox started promoting this one heavy. Their Close Encounter riff got me

   So yeah, I didn't buy any of those albums, but I turned up the TV when those videos came in in those Pre-Internet days. #closetmetalhead

   BODY COUNT on Arsenio Hall (early 90's) THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD ICE-T: http://youtu.be/dWUQtSXVoQM  Ice-T was the one who bridged the divide.

   Skid Row - Monkey Business : http://youtu.be/n8_rq7bhbkQ  It was the late 80s, so along with a ton of Rap & Michael Jackson I dug this stuff.

   Megadeth - Sweating Bullets: http://youtu.be/aOnKCcjP8Qs  This was a the most cutting age video I'd ever seen other than Peter Gabriel stuff.

   Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down: http://youtu.be/nxcJW6bs5os  The chorus had the closest thing to hardcore punk i'd heard then.

   Danzig - Dirty Black Summer: http://youtu.be/0kRtTtpG8Ls  The hook is pretty much Born On The Bayou's changes & rhythm & he's Jim Morrison + Elvis

    Here come a few tweets of videos for music I first heard via The Video Jukebox in the late 80s-early 90s that changed my taste in music.
