ELK'S CRINGE-WORTHY ROCK VIDEO LIST pt1

You know how it is, you're sat round with some friends, a few drinks and suddenly you feel the urge to put on something that you'll all laugh at on Youtube. In my case this is usually 

A) Something only I find funny or

B) Something everyone has seen 100 times before, from me.

My favourite is of course the cringe-worthy rock videos! The videos where the band comes off more like David Brent than their desired goal and one must ask.....what were they thinking!? So we'll kick off this list today with one I discovered just yesterday. The band from my current town - SANCHEZ.

Now, I must admit that I have a bit of a personal connection to the band as (although he hasn't spoken to me in over a year now) I do know the bassist. He's moved on and up and now plays in the band EGONAUT who's latest album is awesome and should be checked out!

The singer in Sanchez (who I believe IS Sanchez and the rest is just his backing band) looks like he would have been awesome in another band in another time, but somehow in this town this is the best he could get. I will be running down a "wtf" of the lyrics and video afterwards.

"Saturday night and I take a ride in my cadillac".....didn't the start of the video tell us this was Friday?

"Suddenly you appear on the corner of 6th street"....I've Google mapped it. There is no 6th street in Borås"

Now for some reason some girls show up and have a fight, and a smoke. For no reason.

"Still Saturday night and I'm standing outside the Rainbow Bar"...or some sort of youth club in Borås.

"Suddenly you appear"....the drummer and the bassist? 

"Sunset Blvd is looking hot indeed"...nope, it's still a youth club in Borås. And you're wearing jackets.

Now "Mikey pick up that guitar and talk to me"....I don't need to point out that A) if he is in the band he should already have his guitar. B) He does not talk, he plays a solo. C) Poison already did that. Good solo though!

at 2.08 in the video a "dad's car" shows up, some sort of family car for taking the kids to school. What happened to the Cadillac?

"Your mamma told you not to run with those bad bad boys"...sorry but the girl that gets out of the car and has a smoke looks like she could be the mum of most of the band. Maybe she is, come to pick them up from band practice.

So, what we can assume from this video is that Sanchez is most possibly talking about ANOTHER Saturday night when he was in some fantasy American world where glam rockers are still cool and not a practice room in Borås....
