For those of you that think this is hard, you're wrong... It's actually way harder
yeah...lot of changes, lot of patches, completely different styles...
Definitely. Every few seconds you're switching gears to a totally different guitar player who you're trying to emulate. It's not easy, that's for sure.
I hate this kind of comments which basically means "you don't get it but I do". You're not paying any tribute to Paul, you're flattering yourself.
True. But mastering thrash metal is actually way harder than this.
@@MCHiphopotamus I didn’t take it like that, I thought it meant he tried and couldn’t do it.
I don't think people get how insanely impressive this is. The fact that he remembers 80 guitar intros and can do them all flawlessly blows my mind.
You’re right. You don’t think
@Gavin Townsley Drop the sarcasm asshole, let’s see you do it then. In one take, with the smooth transitions
@Gavin Townsley Well it is impressive, but onec you play a part or a song overr 500-1000 times, your brain will easily remember it even after a few months of not playing it
@@pm2342 I mean you even have to memorize the combination of the effectors on the floor.
@@yumingl8547 I know, right?
That transition from Crazy Train to Limelight was SO clean
The versatility of a strat is unmatched
Playing 80 intros in one take without making cuts or mistake is insane. People don't realise how great of a guitarist Paul is.
Yes we do
People don’t understand, but you do, because you’re special, Dan.
Я понимаю, Paul Davids respect!
Bro, it was insanely painful for my ears to hear his weak lame attack, he ends every phrase with terrible vibrato, it’s just level of how people in guitar center play these riffs.
@@Alex19II metro boomin wants some more nigga🗣🗣🗣🗣
It’s not just remembering the notes and rhythm, but getting each and every tone so perfectly balanced… what a performance 🫡
the sound of this strat matches only a few, it doesn't make sense for him to play rock with a strat even more without distortion
The tone work was phenomenal
Hmmm.. perfectly? He did good.. very recognizable, but he even knows he makes mistakes. Look in his face, BUT it is 80 songs with 80 different tones on 1 guitar. It's 100% NOT going to be perfect. For what it is though? Did great.
Strats are are very flexible tonally and coupled with his awesome pedal rack does an outstanding job. Kudos man. Brilliant
It's The Minimun expected of any musician that plays at night
I'll never get over how wonderful is the intro to Sweet Home Alabama (3:38). Straight to the soul every time.
this is hipnotizing. the way you smoothly change the riffs, the way you make the guitar sound so versatile... damn
Remembering 80 guitar intros and playing them all of them correctly in a single take, that's something Incredible 🔥
Edit: So many 'PRO' Musicians out there in the replies having problem about the complements given to Paul. I mean I would love to see you peoples' cover then and moreover in the description he himself mentioned it was all a single take and was done by heart.
Imagine if you fail intro #79.
I’d have a hard time thinking of 80 songs with good intros nevermind playing them
Not only that... but putting the (arguably) hardest one at the end :D
@@tastysnivel then the video would be called top 79 intros 🤣

Wow, thank you! You've done us all a great service
MVP of the internet this century!
This needs a pin!
Legend!
I came to the comments to see if someone had done this…much appreciated!
...you can literally hear the transition an transformation of the times in his timeliness! Awesome!!
Simply amazing! Came across this 3 days ago. Thank you for being you and all the work you put into that. It's the go to when stressed and you did an amazing job!
13:26 G.O.A.T wasn't expecting that but definitely brought a smile on my face
Same here.
Frfr, that came out of left field. Love it
Halfway I was like I wonder id he ends with something crazy... Wasnt dissapointed
Jooo same here
Best part, he did it without all the extra production crew, and just his fingers. No digital mop up!
No cuts and every riff is flawless. That’s talent. Practice and dedication is key.
That makes it a skill.
@@viralent It's both.
Its almost as good as the guy who did 100 riffs some years ago
So, so good!
The G.O.A.T. intro was far from flawless.
My first visit and loved it. Knew 80% of the tracks, liked 65% and loved 100% of their delivery. Thank you!
Loved this. Amazing transitions between intros. Great Job
Not only did he nail the riffs, but the tone for each riff was almost spot on. Thats crazy
yes, the huge pedalboard with midi settings helped, but I cant imagine the time to create all the presets, most spot on. However, in some cases (ie aint talk about love) you could hear the lack of an humbucker. All in all, that was a seriously impressive display, hats off! You deserve the almost 3 million subscribers!
Master of Puppets needed some meat.
Was just about to make this exact comment! Incredible.
And all with an SSS Strat! Not even using the in between or middle pickup.
@@andreaferrero6533 yeah honestly his setup is about as perfect as it gets for this kind of video. His fully programmable MIDI board along with the fully programmable Kemper profiler that he’s clearly playing through makes this doable. His skill makes it enjoyable.
literally because of this video, I went and bought a guitar and taught myself to play. That was one year ago today, and i have grown so much as a player. thank you for posting this. If not for you i wouldnt have found this in myself.
And YOU have just inspired me… going to pick one up today. Will report back 🫡
did you end up gettin one?@@andrewrengel
legend
@@andrewrengeldid u get a guitar
So glad I saw this comment haha, I did exactly the same! Hope you continue to get better and better, because learning to play the guitar has been nothing but awesome!
huge respect man, the fact of remembering 80 guitar intros is without a doubt incredible!
Wow. So good! I’m sitting here with my Strat and a smile on my face as you cranked through so many favorites! Amazing
That was mind blowing. And a testament to the versatility of the Strat.
yeah and its not even noiseless singlecoil pickups!
Yep. My thoughts exactly. Always thought the 335 was the jack of all trades. Not so sure now.
Extra bucks paid for those effectors on the floor
Whats impressive is the guy playing it. With today's fx and modeling amps it's not hard to do all that with one guitar.
It's not that the strat is particularly versatile as much as a guitar will do what a guitar does
I didn’t even realize he was going In chronological order until minute 10 😂 this was so impressive !!
Shit, you're right!
no free bird :(
Me too! Exactly at minute 10!!😮
I was today years old when I realised that... it's amazing enough without appreciating they're in order.
@@germanenjoyer4196 The iconic part of Free Bird isn't the intro, though...
Amazing performance. Thank you for bringing joy! I can’t believe you play this in one take.
Amazing, as a 76 year old, brings back the days and nights of playing one vinyl leading into another
Can’t tell if the pure happiness at the end was doing all 80 intros in a row or just absolutely nailing that Polyphia intro
Wow! I've took a hard time trying to learn that intro, got it, but now I've just forgot because I've learnt Playing God, my braind can't support more than 1 Polyphia song, it's too difficult.
I thought the same thing lmao
It's not just the GOAT intro itself, just the sheer fact that he put one of the hardest last, one fail and he had to do all 80 intro all over again
Dude you're a freakin legend for playing all of that flawlessly in a single take!
far from flaw free but indeed well done.
Flawlessly? Interesting. Listen to the songs from the artists. Quite a few flaws, but he did fantastic. Only so much he can do on 1 guitar with so many songs.
@@allennewborn936 just needs more pedals
Excellent Paul! I always respect your work. Keep rock on.
Man, this is like all songs and bands I used to listen to. Brought me back. I’m gonna start listening to these bands again. Thank you!
Leaving Polyphia until last when you've already done 79 intros in one take is a level of bravery I aspire to 😂
“Welp, messed up, let’s start over”
Of course it was the only one he struggled with too haha
Bravoooooo!!!
Let's be real. The 70s held it down so hard. That decade is so pivotal for rock / metal. Also it was cool to see the progression of the years. Well done
That was when music was actually music
@@brycewarren9276 very true
@@brycewarren9276 that is the most dumbass take I’ve ever heard.
@@brycewarren9276 that’s the most dumbass take I’ve ever heard.
I was thinking what would be my tier list on the decades it think it would be 60s 80s then 70s. But i think not hearing layla has a huge impact on the 70s and it wasn't in here.. EDIT.. looking back i really cant choose lol.. theyre all too good
The transition from Slow Dancing in a Burning Room to Snow was smooth and flawless, Excellent 👍
That transition from little less conversation to fortunate son...10/10 AMAZING
playing 80 songs in one take all in chronological order, beyond amazing.
Yeah
Playing 80 riffs in one take and choosing polyphia as the last one is a gutsy call 😄
Great job! 👍🏼
SPOILER ALERT! 😫
Talent
brooo spoiler lmao
@@tdelsoul Paul (Goat) Davids! & such a nice Guy 2.
@@devonday why would you read the comments before you watch?
wow... you just went through my progression as guitarist influenced by moments in time. Thank you for your great talent, insight, and shared love of both music and GUITAR. cheers brother.
I am so impressed!! You are truly amazing. I could listen to you for hours! ❤🎸🎶
Seeing the dates next to the songs is really surprising how old some of these songs are and are still played day in day out all over the world. Timeless classics
Hey Hey, My My, Rock and roll will never die.
Oh my gosh, I'm 62 and seeing the dates made me feel like Methuselah... terrific vid, well played! You said it, Timeless Classics...
Bach has been played all over the world for about 300 years 🤣
Not many people will understand just how insanely brilliant this is.
Not just remembering & playing 80 riffs flawlessly in one take, but he went full out and didn’t shy away from those technically difficult ones [e.g. snow] toward the end. My brain and fingers would have melted way before that point.
Amazing stuff man!
You are right
Lol snow is not hard to play, especially compared to a dozen others he played.
That is freaking amazing. You are very talented!! I’m in complete awe.
So glad this popped up for me. This is excellent and you are extremely talented. Love it!
Not even was he able to play these flawlessly, he nailed the tone on most of them. Very impressive considering it was all done in a single take.
And with one guitar. Its not an exact match but its pretty close
It was edited
Damn not only did he get the riffs, tone and transitions but also all in chronological order?! Sick
Apart from Should I Stay by the Clash 82ish🤔
@@JP-nb7tm and Plug In Baby by being from 2000, it was technically only released in 2001
@Dean Allison Good Point, Dean! You fuckin got me dude. However, I don't remember seeing a video on your page playing all of these intros note for note, or any guitar intro, or any content at all for that matter. Must've missed that. Have a good day, pal.
@@JP-nb7tm Fair enough, but i think we're splitting hairs at this point.
What brilliant guitar, I salute you. A lot of those spurred me into searching YT for the full versions
All these songs, back to back, nailed every single one. Kinda had to otherwise you'd have to start all the way over. You're amazing, super bold move to do G.O.A.T to end it off & nailed it! Saw that smile after you nailed it & knew you knew you just did this video perfectly all in one take! Amazing!
This is incredible. Not only did you nail every riff, but you also memorised them, rembered to change pickups, hit the correct effects AND remembered to detune when necessary. Oh and finishing with Polyphia was ballsy AF. The entire video could have been ruined lol
Probably why he did it last so he could cut it out if he needed lol
@@avaleloc1513 haha possibly. But then it would have only been 79 lol
lol yeah insane
@Dean Allison ok sorry, I don’t understand. How about you upload your version of these 80 riffs, so I have something to compare it to?
Idk he kinda botched "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet.

Oh good, because no one is here to watch the whole vid🙄
Did anyone else click on "One" expecting Metallica? LMFAO.
nerd!
Thank You.
Thought I would listen for maybe 3 intros - ended up being mesmerized into listening to each note- what a talented musician!
this guy's a real jukebox... so many different styles, and feels and sounds... I am totally blown away 🤯
I really like how you did them in chronological order. It nicely shows the evolution and progression of guitar play over the last ~70 years.
Didn't even spot that it was chronological. Brilliant.
Some really great standout riffs such as Ain’t Talkin Bout Love, Message in a Bottle and Purple Rain which sound way ahead of their time
The thing I really liked about this was hearing different sounds that were around at the same time. Message in a bottle & Crazy Train or Road House Blues & Paranoid. Also realising how long some bands have been around and playing music at the same times as bands I consider much older..
Amazing to see which bands are contemporary with others. Never would've realised Green Day were as old as they were!
There's a video from about 10 years ago that's basically the same like this but with 100 riffs from rock history in chronological order. By chicago music exchange:
th-cam.com/video/xiC__IjCa2s/w-d-xo.html
My man just made an 80 guitar intros in a row, without cuts and pauses, and simply finishes with G.O.A.T solo. What a guitarrist
Bruh, "simply". I was not expecting that😳
Yeah the last thing i expected to round off the 80 was GOAT ha. If it were me id have done that first just in case. Amazing.
I’m totally blown away. Incredible work, Paul.
Really fun! And super impressive! Thanks for doing this for all of us to enjoy!
Not only is this wildly entertaining and incredibly impressive, its the best example I've ever seen showing just how versatile and broad of a tonal palette that the venerable Stratocaster is!
I was thinking the same thing. I guess there is a reason it has been the most popular electric for the last 70 years.
@@StefanMArndt plus its the most comfortable to play
@@carsgunsandguitars I'd argue that several of the Ibanez models from the early '90s are a little easier / more comfortable to play (RG750 for example), but yeah...Strats are great.
its a strat copy
And how the tone has changed over the years early 60's to late 60's, early 70's to late 70's to 80's and so on.
So many things we can learn from this:
Paul is an absolute beast playing guitar.
Paul talent has no limits.
ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE IS A STRAT, YOU CAN USE IT TO PLAY EVERYTHING.
Pretty sure the Kemper has a little something to do with it as well.
Lol do you think the Tele in the background is intentionally there glaring jealously?
I tried playing the marimba with a strat, and it didn't go too well.
Check and mate.
It's never the guitar that plays the songs.
It should come with free back insurance
this is actually mission immpossible...what you did was a nightmare task so kudos to you! I am aware that this is a personal preference in music and that we all can add dozens of other intros, that's why I said it was mission immpossible. I'm with you in about 90%, which is more than I expected. I see intros as something that kicks you from the start, from the first note, tone, whatever, and get you hooked on the song. If I am to add something then for sure would be the "Shadow on the Wall" by Mike Oldfield. I was just a teenager when it was first on the radio, man, when I heard that intro, I was like hypnotised. But I have a great appreciation for Mike Oldfield as an artist, musician, guitarist, composer etc (like I said, perosnal preference:))). For your work and what you do - huge praise!
i need these full songs on a playlist! so awesome
Imagine playing this whole thing knowing that Polyphia is coming for you after 79 riffs and 14 minutes of flawless playing. That's PRESSURE.
Paul is top 1% of all guitarists wow. Your time and dedication to this craft is incredible, thanks for bringing us along for the ride!! Cheers.
And 99.9% of statistics in Internet comment sections are made up...
Jesus Christ loves you.
More like top 0.001%!
@@chrisjames6327 I am an advanced guitarist. It took hundreds of thousands of practice hours to make much progress. I don't think guitar is easy to play well. It's easy to learn to play a few chords though. If millions could play like the man in this video, he wouldn't be getting so many positive comments.
@@KraussEMUS1 I play guitar badly, and some people think I'm good. I know people who play very well though, and I don't know if any of them are capable of what this man did in this single-take. It was incredible to see.
The fact is, it takes more than just a talented guitar player to do this. It takes a smart person with very good recall and muscle memory.
I'm not sure how it works, but however you adjusted the audio between riffs that went from "tight center" sound to "spacial stereo" was very cool. Not to mention just playing all that back to back... I always enjoy your videos and playing!
If this video does not get multi million likes I don’t know what should. Insane playing and thanks for bringing back some fond memories.
As a kid born in the 90’s I never realized how far back some of these familiar tunes went. Very happy both of my parents were into rock of all ages. Also it was very impressive to hear all of these intros back to back. Crazy to witness so much skill and technique.
I’m also thankful my mom raised me right regarding music.
@@gregg7233 I’m thankful that my parents raised me to be open minded, and not think of music as right or wrong.
I was born in the 2004, and did not know Mr. Brightside came out in 2003 until this video, it was quite a shocker. 😭😂
Born in 92' and didn't realize how old some of these songs are. And me 😢 haha
@@lerp5555 that is in fact, exactly what I meant by “right”
I don’t think I’ll ever get used to how diverse an electric guitar is as an instrument. The drastic difference in each intro and the most that was done was hitting a pedal or flipping a switch. I love it SO much.
I think we can thank the advances in technology for the fact that a lot of this can be done at all, because I somehow doubt it would have been possible in the 80's.
OTOH ... maybe that's just me being ignorant of pedal effects :D
@@NotTheStinkyCheese I do certainly think it would be much more dependent on the player back then. But I also think even the number of sounds a guitar can make without even a pedal is impressive
and easier to play than the acoustic
True. But he’s doing a lot with “hitting a pedal.”
@@NotTheStinkyCheese I'm a bit lost here on what you are saying ... "think we can thank the advances in technology for the fact hat a lot of this can be done at all, because I somehow doubt it would have been possible in the 80's" .. You really think that guitar pedal didn't exist in the 80's??
Thank you for all the wonderful music to my hears, it gave my senses back. Also in the mid way on listening to this, I found that you have great knowledge on music. Thank you again for this revoking music content.
I used to love watching these videos and learning riffs when I started to learn guitar! along the way I got into more complicated stuff/theory and forgot about all the fun I had with these riffs
All that in a single take, damn man thats quite impressive
hey
This was NOT in a single take, songs are in different tunings here. Its edited.
@@joelvalencia6738 can you show me where?
@@joelvalencia6738 nah hes using a pedal to get the tones its not edited
@@unacuentadeyoutube13 Last resort, D tuning, One step closer, D flat, Chop suey, C.
This is insanely impressive. 80 intros, different effects, different musical genres, seemingly from memory and all in one take without noticable mistakes. Not too many musicians around who could pull this off.
Do it in 10 tunes chunks. It's WAY easier to do it like that. I'm SURE he had apprx 3 weeks to shed all that. Totally possible
@@tjm9565 mate maybe you can send us a link to the video of you doing this?
Truly amazing ! Very talented guitarist. My hat is off to you !!
Sounds like a new playlist! :) great job, buddy!
This deserves AT LEAST 10 million views. Amazing work!
And about as many likes, I would say.
Maybe 80 million?
You must have made a typo. I think you meant 100 million views.
...well fuck. I'll just have to watch it again then.😂
He just missed out playing Radiohead. I’m pissed off.
I can never hear a melody while another song is playing. This is incredible that he is flawless with 80 transitions. So much fun to watch
This is the most underrated part of how hard this really is. At any given moment you could forget the next song. Unbelievable
Isn't it actually 79 transitions :P
@@piece_of_dirt Lol! You ruined it!
Hello, the selection of intros is spectacular. I listened 2 times to your video and I think there will be more to come xD... you have a lot of talent, thanks for sharing! Greetings from a new follower
Insane to remember all this songs, flawless played.. great choice btw
Not only did you memorize 80 guitar intros and do it in one take, but you captured each songs guitar tone as best as you could as well. Absolutely incredible.
I wouldn’t say nailed the guitar tones, only so much you can do with a strat. Especially when playing Queens Of The Stone Age, Metallica or Pantera.
@@Pyr0nExharsh, but fair. He did a really good job imho. But you can't please _all_ the people...
@@simongavin5031 It was still really good and played well, it was more so that metal tones definitely don’t sound as “beefy” with single coils so the tones aren’t captured “incredibly”.
@@Pyr0nEx with what he had, he did a damn good job. He could of easily just plugged in his strat and played each intro on a clean channel, but he went the extra mile and plugged in his pedal board and tried to capture each tone as close as he could by switching pedals/pickups. Not to mention he had to remember 80 songs worth of guitar tones. You may not be impressed, but I damn sure was.
@@LukeProv I am impressed but I disagree with the tones being accurate as you basically described. He could’ve had his Les Paul or SG next to him and we would have a perfect video.
Thought I'd stay for a few...amazed by all 80. You're a stellar player!
this is incredible skills. The best cover I have ever seen. respect
Awesome job. I love that the dutch man included Hocus Pocus.
Jan Akkerman fan 🥳
why did you put that emoji
It's like he summed up 90 years of Rock'n'roll in a single video, flawlessly, one take...! That's Huge massive performance, awesome!
I was looking for a song but could only remember the intro. I'm infinitely grateful to you right now😁😁
Awesome playing, not only the top 80 guitar intros but arguably the greatest 80 songs ever written!!!!!!!
So glad you included the kids aren't alright! It's an epic intro riff! The 90's portion of this crushed.
I'm also shocked Fat Lip by Sum 41 wasn't on here
That was truly one for the generations, kids aren’t alright had definitely more of an impact on me as a single song than most of sum 41 that I was into
Best decade for music along side the 60's.
He also like it imo. I think same
It definitely didn't crush. No Alice in chains? Radiohead? Rage? Temple of the dog? Sum 41 don't belong anywhere near this.
Unbelievable playing and song choice. Big kudos to the Strat too! It shows how diverse it can be.
For sure. But I think he has a Helix pedal on the floor.
@@mattym8 and…? Single coils
Everything after 1990 is a pure crap.
@@xp17 Unfortunately, sadly ... I agree.
@@fgl2012 yes, sadly...
Fantastic. I truly enjoyed watching and listening to you.
Best of TH-cam right here. Nice playin man!
I think the most impressive thing, besides stringing them all together really well, is remembering the pedal changes :-)
Totally emphasises how second nature the actual sound of each intro is. Doesn't have to think at all to know what pedal/tones are required.
I would assume he just has an FX processor and put the presets in the order of the songs in the video. If I'm wrong and he has a pedalboard, then it definitely makes the entire video even more impressive.
Yeah, I spent a lot of time watching this thinking how long it took home to dial in the pedals. With the exception of the metal songs, the tones were pretty much all spot on.
@@germanbushin9723 It looked to me from the movements of his eyes and foot like he was using traditional pedals. But I could be wrong. And even if he WAS using a multi-effects board, programming them all in would’ve taken forever.
I think the switch just cycles through patches he's set up beforehand, one for each tune. It appears to control the modeling device you see to his left: it's indicator lights change with each song. That device would simulate each appropriate amp and stomp pedal that were in the signal chain of the original artist who made the recording.
I love how his whole face and body move with each music track. Pure magic. Knowing over 80 Guitar intros and to play the notes. HE IS GOOD.
The Bible is truth. Please read at least three books of the Bible, Genesis Mathew and one you chose yourself. As you do practice forgiveness, that’s what makes it click. Parents are easiest. They’ve loved you to some degree. It’s actually extremely important to forgive them specifically, that relationship has spiritual significance to God. Remember to break down before Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness too. Please, it’s really important that you do these things as soon as possible. The Bible is truth;
Jesus Christ is Lord
James Mayle If god is real, then he abandoned us and should not be worshiped
@@jamesmayle3787 Take your delusions somewhere else, bud.
This is a video about guitar intros. Nobody cares that you're bad at understanding things.
Not only playing it perfectly but getting the tone right for each tune is wild!
The transitions were so awesome I teared up!!
Very impressive.
I would also include “Layla” by Eric Clapton.
Finally, scrolling down the comments thinking yeah it was awesome but Layla.... come on man.
@@barneystinson4183 Agreed. Anything from the bluesbreakers album would've been nice.
Layla is originally from derek & the dominos lel
@@st4rosta erics better tho lets be real
@@ronniewells9086 mmm I think both are equally better
A single like doesn't show how appreciative I am of your time, effort and skill it took to make this video. 1,000 likes 👍👍👍
Queen hammer to fall, eagles hotel California, Lenard skyward simple kind of man are a few I would like in the next lineup, thank you so much for this amazing layout your versatility is amazing.
Very nice selection my friend.
I'm totally with you when listening,
It's just not quite right with playing.
Great job, hats off!
Man, playing 80 riffs non-stop in their distinct tones, that too on a single strat, hats off! How much work you have put into this is simply unimaginable, esp. setting up the pedals. I wish you had played the usual ones too like Here Comes the Sun, Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven, Summer of ‘69, Take a look around etc. Maybe next time.
Scar Tissue, from RHCP, as well in 1999
He probably didn't do it because he would of got blocked
Layla!
80 riffs not 800
I had this in the background and when One by U2 came on I got the chills, still my favorite song to this day!
Mad respect to you, for this incredible performance
Love the "Anyway, here's Wonderwall" reference you snuck in there. 10/10
Extremely impressive !!! Not only remembering 80 intros, but you were spot-on with the effects and timing for each one. I'm blown away you pulled this off like an 80 song medly. Simply amazing Paul.
The effects sounded sorta close on a couple of songs.
So talented and entertaining. Thank you for sharing!!!
Wow now I’ve just realize how much I need to put on my playlist for my Spotify great work
Paul, the dedication that is required to make one of these videos has not gone unnoticed. Well done man. In an age where everything we see sets out to impress, it’s refreshing when it’s delivered at this standard.
My personal favorite intro of all time would be Layla. Really expected it to be on this list. Other than that, holy damn man, you nailed it!
Oh several by Clapton. Layla, My Father's Eyes, etc
I had to rewatch just to confirm.
There's no way pleasing some people
You do need three guitars for that one, mind you…
Yeah, i forgot about that. Owner of a Lonely Heart was another one but it was a fantastic video.
