New Beasties video lifting from Tom's NP video?

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I'll always have a special place in my heart for the Beasties, but I'm with Chris L. Ugh.

Do I win or lose points for seeing The Rembrandts 2 years before the Friends thing happened? They opened for John Hiatt in Nashville at 328 Performance Hall. They claimed it was one of their very first gigs. I liked them; bought their first 2 discs. Then the Friends thing happened.

I feel like the "recognizable-actors-as-band-members (in a music video)" thing is not without past precedent. But I can't think of any examples right now. Anybody?

The Rembrandts - I ll Be There For You

[dave from knoxville]

Sort of the same idea in reverse, but it's always a good time to trot this back out

Talking Heads - "Wild, Wild Life"

[Chris L]

Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jr. (HQ Audio)

there's been buzz about this beastie boys thing since early December. it was planned, shot and finished before or at the same time as Moves as far as I can tell and it premiered at Sundance, before Moves hit the internet. looks more like great minds thinking alike

it's also clearly totally different.

so cool it.

Plus i wouldnt call Mike a recognizable actor.

First time I saw the video I was scratching my head "I recognize just about everyone else, but who Hell is this Mike guy?" It wasn't until later that I realized it was AP Mike.

Points neither won nor lost.  I don't switch the station when I hear "Just the Way it is, Baby" on those 90's 'flashback weekends,' or SiriusXM "90's On 9."

Desire nothing but desirelessness.

I thought it was Pinhead, but I bow to your greater skill.

Nah, that's just a fan thing. Every movie in the series has at least one character yell "Look out, it's Hellraiser!" when he shows up.

My favorite rock music video with plenty of recognizable stars in it, which you should all see, is the Yo La Tengo video for their song "Sugarcube," circa. 1997, (the band plays an alternate version of themselves) and the full length video is on the MTV.com site. 
That Beasties video, is just crash and smash, not interesting, or clever, or funny enough, for me.
