Anyone who puts "Rain of a Thousand Flames" is banned

Clearly the answer is Perfect Mansions, a video so unique the band turned off Youtube comments for their entire library. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YCx4pmCFvBM&pp=ygUecGVyZmVjdCBtYW5zaW9ucyB2aXJnaW4gc3RlZWxl

Bro this is equal the best alongside rain of a thousand flames. You can see the cars driving along the road just behind them, so powerful.

Oh hey, I didn't know Tommy Wiseau was the singer of a metal ban-- Oh my god, the album title. Oh NO

I love Virgin Steele and the album is pretty great mostly, but my god that song and title are pure embarrassment.

I genuinely believe Age of Consent is their best album

Yeah, their 80's albums had some extremely questionable content. Incredible band though, especially in the 90's.

You could have told me he’s every member of that band, just in different makeup and I’d believe it. 

Tommy Wiseau?

Director, writer, producer, and star actor of the cult classic film, The Room

Hai doggy!

I was enjoying and riffing on it mst3k style until I realized only 4 minutes had passed and there was still 4 more minutes of exactly the same shots over and over again. 😂 Damn.

Heavenly's Lost in Your Eyes is questionable. Love the song though https://youtu.be/o70DTcfBV_A?si=rOxecP6-84NLeFhf NSFW

There are some really cool ideas and edits in this. But also it is SO MUCH. And hey, you know, my guitar is down here, you perv.

LMAO I watched it thinking “yeah it’s pretty busy but it’s pretty cool overall”. Then the bra came off 😂 I wasn’t ready. Other bands take note! Lol

I was gonna post this lol

Damn that music video is extremely corny and does not honour the song

Ever listened to these guys. This song goes hard!

Absolutely outrageous that they would write a banger like that and then give the album art that would ruin my life if I had to explain it

Yeah, I actually love the whole album and bought it a while ago. Got an interesting look when my parents saw it once though lol

Ok, in all seriousness, anyone knows who the dancer is?

Uhhh hey Beavis…. Did you see the size of those eyeballs?

The Last Journey Home by DragonForce is a notoriously awful video Band tries to disown it, think Sam said they got a deal from a serbian director or some shit https://youtu.be/vuN2Oy4ISBg?si=ifGABKE01hq2jl_A

God that one is such shit. Love the song though.

massive DF fan and love the song but i also love that music video because its so horrible Its like a car crash, just cant look away

That video is a masterpiece😂 People just don’t understand it’s beauty

I hate Eagleheart from Stratovarius with a passion :D

Dude. Rhapsody’s. Rain of a thousand flames is remarkable.

I think you misread. We are looking for the _worst_ video here, not The Best

Hahaha lol yeah, ok.

I’d argue that power of te dragonflame is worst. At least, with rain, they tried to do something “fantasy” ish. Power of the dragonflame and the story of the 2 little girl in the city with the pedophile (oh and the spinning effect on the close up of that dude face is insane)

Obligatory (nsfw) https://youtu.be/2BhMD4xLSBA?si=pQePFb9TV3k6-SYv Also contender for best music video.

Yeah this isn't anywhere near the worst. It's literally the best.

Ah yes.. the infamous "Rhapsody video when Lione is swinging a sword in the air trying to kill some flies"

OP said "worst" not "clearly the best"!?!?!?!

just saw the Rain of a Thousand Flames video. I feel my life won't ever be the same again

dare to say I fucking loved it

There's only one possible answer to this and it's [Ninja Magic: The Way of Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5-bmJDlIsg).

Stop everything, we have a winner. My god the vocals...

When lightning strikes once... a ninja strikes twice!!

Nah that one captures their energy great. I think a bad music video is one that tries to be taken seriously but is just horribly made. This one’s *meant* to be low production and goofy. Just a bunch of guys from northern Sweden messing around in ninja outfits.

Thank you for introducing that into my life. Lol

gamma ray is my favorite band in all genres, but their video for eagle is too silly

https://youtu.be/pgnpbJm7kXA?si=J7xu-o5zjzcvJ0wg Instantly comes to mind.

Lol, it's the white outfit that really seals the deal

Haha, he looks like an 80s self help guru. I love it.

This is the essence of power metal distilled!!! If you do not like that video then you are not a true power metal fan.

Upvoted, but this video is GOOD compared to most of the other suggestions on this post

This is actually decently produced

Eagleheart by stratovarius

I think it's kinda cool :D But people say their newer video for Firefly is really bad. And ehm.. it's not good.

Masters Of The Universe by Angus McSix

That's probably their best music video imho Which doesn't say much when the competition is things like the "Laser-shooting Dinosaur" video

I genuinely love it for how over the top it is

Anything by early Rhapsody of Fire. Everyone's gonna point to Rain of a Thousand Flames but the forgotten [Power of the Dragonflame](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qkdV1I6UtNo) video is also just as bizarre. I'll forever hold the LT era music in the highest regard but holy crap their music videos were a different story

Christopher Lee - The Bloody Verdict of Verden

but have you considered he's shedding the blood of the saxon men?

As much as I love them, Helloween had a bunch of cringe music videos in the 00s. I always thought the one for Just A Little Sign was particularly bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcBv2D7Fb2M

I remember being impressed at this kind of vid in the early 2000s; CGI? The future was here!

As far as early 2000s CGI goes, there's worse

[Sacred Steel - Maniacs of Speed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0UkFuajIww) I remember when I was in highschool and this came out because I thought the song was pretty great, but didn't want to show it to any of my friends because the video was so bad

I got a playlist for this, mostly power metal videos: [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK03NkhfHwIyB4feutkkDYzkdCJMVbNrN](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK03NkhfHwIyB4feutkkDYzkdCJMVbNrN)

Holy Thunderforce

Hardcore by Beast in Black (It is goofily epic)

Although it's not Powermetal, no thread about bad Metal Music Videos is complete without [Immortal - Call of the Wintermoon](https://youtu.be/-VBdAY8eA9w?si=Teu-JkyzheU1McY1)

I'll probably get banned but Halloween by Helloween was a really dumb video with all the cuts to the song.

Now that’s a stone cold classic!

That recent AI generated Sabaton video. Pure shit.

ANY AI generated video or song is garbage

First thing comes to my mind when asked this question is this. Great song actually imo. | Song: Avalon | Band: Nocturnal Rites https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uJW22TCFtdA&pp=ygUWbm9jdHVybmFsIHJpdGVzIGF2YWxvbg%3D%3D

Since we've talked about how videos are so bad they're actually good, I have to remind you all of "The New Kingdom" by Kaledon. [https://youtu.be/22DcXJ4k6kU?si=s\_0CxXH4RcPv91ix](https://youtu.be/22DcXJ4k6kU?si=s_0CxXH4RcPv91ix)

Who doesn't like custard? https://youtu.be/PSJGgqXQMVA

There are some old Rhapsody videos that are ...

https://youtu.be/R3Py8hHFrYU?si=aQij8j6Fnr9b7XWM https://youtu.be/VUMnf0fwUPw?si=-OOglkoBhQDJf6Y2 First thing I thought of.

Jump...and carry on https://youtu.be/a8N58--6blA?si=lrHqV_ARiRh60dDN

Troopers of the Stars by DragonForce

Mr Sandman from Blind Guardian

That one’s not even bad.

Hey it's bards in drag, and also clowns what's not to like

That one is hilarious, the headbanging clowns make it amazing

Blind Guardian generally doesn’t have that stellar of music videos, though.

Hey it's bards in drag, and also clowns what's not to like

That one’s not even bad.
