[Farlo]

pantera's planet caravan was excellent for the time

Novembers Doom - Autumn Reflection

and some dvds

alice in chains unplugged

green carnation A night under the dam

the novembers doom novella Vosselaar

[xexyzl]

Rammstein has a very good track record for their music videos, typically avoiding the "play along" style video. The best of these is probably Du Hast, despite the fact it's my least favorite R+ song

For this year, Porcelain Heart takes the cake IMHO.

[Emotive]

oh!

Slipknot - Vermillion

I always found this one to be quite an amazing video..

Though part 2 never got me as much as 1, as 1 was so much more interesting both as a song and as a video, it isn't bad either, sort of artsy at that:

Slipknot - Vermillion pt. 2

One can say, Wait And Bleed has a very interesting video too...

Slipknot - Wait And Bleed

Hey, Slipknot's videos are nifty \o/

[Fall_Child42]

You are all wrong,

Obviously the best rock / metal video is this one right here.

But keep in mind that this thread is about the artistic value and not about standard "see-the-band-play" type of video unless they do have something extravagant which actually makes it something special.

Would these count as 'something extravagant which actually makes it something special'?

Celtic Frost - A Dying God Coming Into The Flesh

Enslaved - Isa

[Rider4Z]

Versailles Philharmonic Quintet
video: Aristocrat's Symphony

Japanese (Gothic Style) Rock

These guys need some major exposure, i was very disappointed to learn there are NO videos hosted to them here. I'm in the brainstorming stages to put one together to at least get the ball rolling.

Well the Celtic Frost video at least tries to be artistic but fails hard due to to fact it doesn't make sense and because of the bad effects and the 2nd is a standard video I guess.

Here's a few more video I recently loved:

Steven Wilson - Harmony Korine
Porcupine Tree - Normal
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Opeth - The Grand Conjuration
Gojira - Vacuity
Meshuggah - Rational Gaze

[PlasticKatanaProd]

I adore the video for "Vicarious" by Tool.

[kentoshogun]

Omg, that Steven Wilson's one is awesome.

I don't use to like hardcore metal or even metal and maybe warheart's idea of rock it's a bit different from mine,(I consider rock groups like The Strokes, Mando diao, REM, Silvertide, Artick Monkeys, etc). I don't know if there's another thread like this for any type of music, but if there's not, i think the chances for creativity inspiration are highly reduced. Anyway, since Emong linked some shoegaze videos, i feel a bit free to post alternative rock and it's relatives.

Ruls.
Pinback - Fortress

Not such a extravagant stuff, even many moments of "seeing the band playing" but totally awesome.
Doves - Pounding

This is... yes this is extravagant.
Arcade Fire - Black Mirror
