MTV Music TeleVision MUSIC!! Music based programming not reality programming. Honestly they should change to RTV Reality TeleVision or go back to there roots and bring back the music.
RUSTY BUCKET I completely agree with you. I wish they would go back to music, especially Head Bangers Ball. They can take all the reality shows to VH1 or just make a new channel so people can watch music videos again. Thank you so much for your reply and I hope you have a wonderful day 🤘
@@MrUnsolvedMystery I was the same way. If I wasn’t in school or sleeping I would be watching MTV. Now they just need to change it to RTV (reality shows).
I want my MTV!!! I really miss the music, I was 14 when it began, and everyone watched. I can't imagine high school without MTV and the VJ's playing the hottest sounds.We all talked about them, they were part of our social circles.
someone should do a music vid chanel again, youtube isnt the same, id love to throw on mtv like chan and workout or clean or party with random top videos. its a shem we dont have one
I still want my MTV too! I was 13 when it started (13.5, lol - young enough for six months to matter!) and it was there throughout my teen years. It was mindblowing - music! videos! VJs! - and I miss the feelings that went along with it as much as I miss the channel itself. 🎶🎸❤
I met Nina at a party in San Diego. She said Martha was probably my favorite and while I admitted I loved Martha I told her I loved her just as much. She was really nice.
They're both pretty awesome really, very different girls though. It's hilariously female that two girls so completely different would not see how silly it is to try to compare each other.
I turned 20 when MTV began. I hung on every video for the latest view and news of my music hero's. I remember getting so excited at the news of a new video. The old cliche holds true in this case. They don't make music like that anymore.
Yep it was "video killed the radio star." Now people are famous only from releasing on the internet. I don't even watch the award shows anymore. I don't know half of the people being shone.
@@jcarterla ok I looked it up. The first video for MTV on August 1, 1981 was "video killed the radio star." The first video on European MYV August 1, 1987 was "money for nothing" by Dire Staits that in the beginning of that song was "I want my MTV" so there you have it. We were both right, in a sense.😎
I lived through that period, from " Video Killed the Radio Star" to all the rap and beach shows and what not. It is sad that they changed the format, but it was one of the greatest times. I'm glad I was there to experience it.
I started watching MTV from the beginning. And watched all the videos. Miss the original MTV. But please double check your information. It's not Adam and the Ants. Its Adam Ant. And Steve Perry is not with Aerosmith. He was with Journey. Steven Tyler is with Aerosmith
i remember getting out of school doing my homework an watching MTV in the 80's those were the good ole days and I haven't watched it in years because of they have gotten away from music videos and most of the music now days ain't music and yes I want my old MTV
Well, "video killed the radio stars." - The Buggles - "Reality Shows killed the music videos on MTV. - Me - TH-cam does have a lot of music videos from the old MTV days and a lot from the 50's, 60's' and 70's. A lot from TV Variety Shows and concert footage. In the 60's music videos were referred as promotional music films. Also on TH-cam as well as many full recorded studio albums of many genres of music from all over the world.
When i was in high school we couldn't afford cable so a new station called Fox was invented and at midnight on Friday nights they would have 2 hours of all the new and popular videos and I couldn't wait for Friday night all week. I remember "welcome to the jungle" blew me away and couldn't wait to go to the mall next day to buy that G and R tape. 😆
I loved the original MTV but not all those stupid reality shows. Martha or Nina I am not sure which one I liked better. They both had something about them. 👍
In 1982 my best friend and a couple our friends would be at his parents house during the spring ,summer and fall his parents had a cabin on Shoals Creek they spent weekends at leaving the house to us. Damn at the hours of MTV we watched an listening too. Mark Goodman was the most handsome of all the guys then or that followed. Billy Idol was huge during the early 1980's on MTV. Then things changed and no more MTV music videos like in the old days. Sad ! Those were wonderful times the 1970's after graduation ,turned into the 1980's without the pressures of high school. The 80's was out real introduction to our early adult day. But honestly I never felt like an adult and in my mind and soul I'm still not. Wonderful memories of my friends and family members who were still very much alive and well on planet earth.
It’s hard to express how revolutionary and explosive MTV was. Cable tv was still in its infancy and to have a channel dedicated to music was almost unbelievable to us. Much to the chagrin of my parents it was on the tv almost all day and night. Music videos were the topic of conversation and whenever a song hit the first question was “did you see the video?” It really was amazing how it changed and influenced culture
I was addicted to MTV in the early years. I always felt that Alan Hunter ruined MTV with his"Running Amuck In August" around 1987 or 1988. Suddenly, there was no more videos being run 24 hours a day. Does any one else remember that?
I watched MTV the first day they were on the air. This is all before streaming service, Internet, cell phones and at the beginning of personal computers. I watched MTV for hours every day, such a new concept. Some ways, I wish we could go back or at least relive that feeling.
DEVO’s Beautiful World song/video truly explains what was happening in the late 70s and 1980s‼️ MTV also had quite a few early DOVO videos that they produced themselves well before they thought of MTV & record labels paid for them. In the beginning, MTV played their videos numerous times over a 24 hour period until MTV’s catalog was huge, then they blacklisted DEVO 🤔👎👎
well on you tube you can get pretty much anything even old MTV back then i never thought i would be watching music on a computer go figure shit changes and the world moves on ready or not
I’m so old I remember when MTV played music. I’m 64 now and I remember looking forward to new videos from bands like Whitesnake, Cinderella, Motley Crue and Ratt. Anyone remember the game show they had called Remote Control ? I always made it a point to watch Head Bangers Ball. Now all they show is fake scripted drama shows about pregnant teenagers. Now I call it Suck TV!
Facts Verse Yes the bands were awesome. But what I could never figure out is during the mid 80’s they played videos from talent such as Tina Turner Bryan Adams , Hall and Oates, Springsteen. But where I lived in Indiana from 1:00 to 1:30 pm they played the most requested videos of the day. And they were always the Hairbands such as Whitesnake, Cinderella, Ratt, Twisted Sister etc. Never quite understood why they didn’t show the videos of these bands more during the day.
They got sued a few times in the early 2000's, and it really broke their spirit. They began to transition to shows with Daria, and for a while the programming was actually decent, but it had a particular nihilistic focus and philosophy and when that was combined with the Reality TV philosophy it was perfect lawsuit fuel. "Never quite understood why they didn’t show the videos of these bands more during the day." Because the people making the requests will tune in during a time of day when they wouldn't otherwise tune in to see the requests, whereas they'll tune in at peak hours regardless. Plus stuff that's being requested has already been seen a fair bit and is probably already borderline overplayed.
...I was definitely from the MTV Generation. In fact, so much so that I used to actually produce music videos in the late 90’s, up to about 2005’ish. It was a great gig if you could get it and survive the turbulent waters. This is a really interesting video. Thanks for posting!

I lived on the couch eating a pound of m&m''s and drinking a gallon of soda back in the early 80's after middle school every afternoon. Ancient history.
@@80sDECADEshouldNEVERLEFT It's funny talking about this. The 90's (especially late 90's) was when the decline of rock n' roll started becoming terribly apparent, and when a lot of the worst record company policies (including the "optimized" cord progression that all new songs started using) started coming in to vogue, but the decline was still at a much earlier stage and so the music produced, while a swan song, was still much better than music now.
a great time to be a teen in the 80s. i remember when mtv was literally fun to watch and stood for MUSIC. its turned into a pile of trash that has nothing to do with music at all.
Speaking of MTV's programming pivot, I think CMT missed a valuable opportunity when Firefly was cancelled. If CMT had taken on Joss Whedon's sci-fi western when the network orphaned it, they could have made the transition to being much more culturally relevant.
My brothers loved Martha 💙 I was 13 when Mtv aired it was so great back then all the old bands from the 60's and New Wave mixed it made me love classic rock even more and yes even some stereo typical 80 junk.
I was there when it began and loved it! Used to watch it all the time and record my favorite videos on VHS. it s ok to branch out and try new things but I wish they hadn’t moved so far away from the videos. Martha has become quite beautiful!
❤MTV❤ , Yo MTVRaps, MTV Cribs, videos and news was and will be great to watch now oh and if the vj’s were the🕺🏼 musicians themselves who are and were in videos! The videos helped bring their music to life 💃🏻with a better understanding, the meaning of their lyrics.🧟♂️” The Thriller”! Need I say more. Yes I 😢miss❤ my MTV!
MTV didn't have an epiphany moment when Michael Jackson Releaseed Thriller, and THEN started to play more pop. They always played POP! The very first video by the Buggles was pop. Most of the British stuff was pop, and/or synth pop. MTV were threatened by boycott by some labels because they would not play black music, Michael Jacksons Billie Jean was the track that saw the 're-evaluation'. Marc was confronted in an interview he was doing with David Bowie when he outright asked him why doesnt MTV play black music. Marc responded that the producers didn't do it because they wanted to appeal more to mid-western sensibilities and rock was the music that reflected that. Bowie of course reminding him that Rock music was at its origin black music. Exclusionary at its origin... as admittedly, much of the radio waves were. They played some Lionel Richie, Hall and Oats ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) , and Billy Ocean, then they subsequently started playing some R&B in the overnight..Then we would see some New Edition and Ray Parker jr... It started to change.. eventually.. Run DMC came a bit later with the Beastie Boys.... and that Juggernaut could not be derailed... although many tried.. because... of course... that isnt 'real' music'' Boy did they try.. BUT... Yo MTV Raps.. Yo! MTV Raps being originally a European creation BTW.. It came to the USA later..
I liked Mtv as it was when it started. Martha Quinn does a music show on a local radio station here in Waco, TX broadcast from somewhere else. I loved the interviews with bands and other people. The VJs actually did the interviews at first.
Just rerun blocks of MTV content from the 80s, in their entirety, late night, on one of the streamers. My wife & I would watch that; she grew up in the 80s, I in the 70s, but I like most of that decade's pop and rock, and I dug MTV when it first aired, the deal having been sealed with MJ's "Thriller".😎
The V-jays should make a video for TH-cam to reminisce about the two Christmas music videos all 5 were in: "Christmas is the time to say I love you" (1981) and "Reggae Christmas" (1984).
Priceless dude I worked at Q104.3 back in the day during the late 90s I worked with the late great Scott Muni MTV during the early days was great and remote control was my favorite show rest in peace Ken Ober Colin Quinn Denis Leary and Adam Sandler and the girls were very cool too I loved it too another fun fact is Nina Blackwood was one of my favorite British rocker John Waite one of time girlfriend and Alan Hunter was in the video for the late great fellow British rocker David Bowie video for Fashion he was in the dance studio the late JJ Jackson was a very great friend of again my friend and first MTV crush John Waite also loved Mark Goodman and Martha Quinn off the record isn't related to Colin Quinn
3:25 Aerosmith's Steve Perry??? And it's showing a picture of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry LOL! Which one was the naked pic meant for? Pretty sure there was no Steve Perry in Aerosmith 🤦
Back in the 80's everybody in my household watched MTV, it was the channel (channel 25 btw) that we always went to if we weren't watching a movie or the news etc. MTV was great for introducing you to new music and I miss that more than anything. The 80's was just a better time in general partly due to having MTV
They were also forbidden to do endorsements. With their fame Coke Pepsi or Doritos would have jumped to have them as spokespeople. MTV didn't want anyone to be bigger than the MTV brand.
My favorite VJ growing up was Dave Kendall of 120 minutes. My buddies and I would record each of his shows to find the latest and greatest Alternative bands since we didn't live in an area with great radio channels
The vjs really were like your buddies. I surely do miss those early days....God bless those original fresh outta the box times music was everything to me
Although I dont like MTV as it has been for some time(stopped watching).It was inevitable it went the way it did but it should change its name since its no longer about music.Aka like TNN (which went to spike & now paramount)
Why do they even call it MTV now? There's nothing on it worth watching and certainly no music worth listening to anymore. MTV sucks now! The days of " money for nothing and the chicks are free" are long gone..... Sad
Did you mean Steve Tyler or Joe Perry from Aerosmith. Steve Perry was in Journey. For someone who claims "Facts", you get a lot wrong. Do you do actual research?

yeah!!!!! Headbangers Ball, with Adam Curry. Then, he handed the reins to Riki Rachtman.
I want my old MTV it was the soundtrack to my adulthood bring back The original MTV!!!! 🖤💚🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💚🖤
This is the first "Facts Verse" video that I have enjoyed. Usually very misleading.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Around 8:43 he called her Nina Blackman it's Nina Blackwood . Two mistakes in one video . Dude FACT CHECK YOUR STUFF BEFORE YOU POST!!!!!!!
I miss it so bad the 80's what a great time to grow up in.
Let's call Twitch "Today's version of VJs".
❤MTV❤ , Yo MTVRaps, MTV Cribs, videos and news was and will be great to watch now oh and if the vj’s were the🕺🏼 musicians themselves who are and were in videos! The videos helped bring their music to life 💃🏻with a better understanding, the meaning of their lyrics.🧟♂️” The Thriller”! Need I say more. Yes I 😢miss❤ my MTV!
Viacom which is the global corporate media conglomerate messed up MTV on purpose.
MTV didn't have an epiphany moment when Michael Jackson Releaseed Thriller, and THEN started to play more pop. They always played POP! The very first video by the Buggles was pop. Most of the British stuff was pop, and/or synth pop.
MTV were threatened by boycott by some labels because they would not play black music, Michael Jacksons Billie Jean was the track that saw the 're-evaluation'.
Marc was confronted in an interview he was doing with David Bowie when he outright asked him why doesnt MTV play black music. Marc responded that the producers didn't do it because they wanted to appeal more to mid-western sensibilities and rock was the music that reflected that. Bowie of course reminding him that Rock music was at its origin black music.
Exclusionary at its origin... as admittedly, much of the radio waves were.
They played some Lionel Richie, Hall and Oats ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) , and Billy Ocean, then they subsequently started playing some R&B in the overnight..Then we would see some New Edition and Ray Parker jr... It started to change.. eventually..
Run DMC came a bit later with the Beastie Boys.... and that Juggernaut could not be derailed... although many tried.. because... of course... that isnt 'real' music'' Boy did they try.. BUT... Yo MTV Raps.. Yo! MTV Raps being originally a European creation BTW.. It came to the USA later..
*To* *the Early Squad* *Reading This sending Virtual* *hugs to everyone* *who needs it* 😁
*Anyways stay safe, Read MY NAME*
I broke my ankle the summer I turned 12 and my dad got cable so I’d have something to do, I was glued to MTV!! ❤
I liked Mtv as it was when it started. Martha Quinn does a music show on a local radio station here in Waco, TX broadcast from somewhere else. I loved the interviews with bands and other people. The VJs actually did the interviews at first.
Just rerun blocks of MTV content from the 80s, in their entirety, late night, on one of the streamers. My wife & I would watch that; she grew up in the 80s, I in the 70s, but I like most of that decade's pop and rock, and I dug MTV when it first aired, the deal having been sealed with MJ's "Thriller".😎
Martha Quinn ! I had a 😍 !
The best!
The V-jays should make a video for TH-cam to reminisce about the two Christmas music videos all 5 were in: "Christmas is the time to say I love you" (1981) and "Reggae Christmas" (1984).
Steve Perry was not a member of Aerosmith. the old mix up of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
Priceless dude I worked at Q104.3 back in the day during the late 90s I worked with the late great Scott Muni MTV during the early days was great and remote control was my favorite show rest in peace Ken Ober Colin Quinn Denis Leary and Adam Sandler and the girls were very cool too I loved it too another fun fact is Nina Blackwood was one of my favorite British rocker John Waite one of time girlfriend and Alan Hunter was in the video for the late great fellow British rocker David Bowie video for Fashion he was in the dance studio the late JJ Jackson was a very great friend of again my friend and first MTV crush John Waite also loved Mark Goodman and Martha Quinn off the record isn't related to Colin Quinn
3:25 Aerosmith's Steve Perry??? And it's showing a picture of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry LOL! Which one was the naked pic meant for? Pretty sure there was no Steve Perry in Aerosmith 🤦
I like the original MTV way of just videos and it’s all music and video concepts. Now I’m showing my age. That’s for this information.
Sure I miss the early days of MTV but I can still watch music videos All day on TH-cam. Except no Martha Quinn!Lol.
Back in the 80's everybody in my household watched MTV, it was the channel (channel 25 btw) that we always went to if we weren't watching a movie or the news etc. MTV was great for introducing you to new music and I miss that more than anything. The 80's was just a better time in general partly due to having MTV
Wait did he say he wanted Alan Hunter to give the nude photograph to Aerosmith's Steve Perry?? That would be Joe Perry.
They were also forbidden to do endorsements. With their fame Coke Pepsi or Doritos would have jumped to have them as spokespeople. MTV didn't want anyone to be bigger than the MTV brand.
MTV isn't MTV without the M for music and the purpose of it. Now it's more about "Reality Shows" and not the music
My favorite VJ growing up was Dave Kendall of 120 minutes. My buddies and I would record each of his shows to find the latest and greatest Alternative bands since we didn't live in an area with great radio channels
Did he really just say "Aerosmith's Steve Perry?" LMAO! 03:26
The vjs really were like your buddies. I surely do miss those early days....God bless those original fresh outta the box times music was everything to me
Although I dont like MTV as it has been for some time(stopped watching).It was inevitable it went the way it did but it should change its name since its no longer about music.Aka like TNN (which went to spike & now paramount)
Why do they even call it MTV now? There's nothing on it worth watching and certainly no music worth listening to anymore. MTV sucks now! The days of " money for nothing and the chicks are free" are long gone..... Sad
Did you mean Steve Tyler or Joe Perry from Aerosmith. Steve Perry was in Journey. For someone who claims "Facts", you get a lot wrong. Do you do actual research?
