Interesting music videos that tell a story?

[clutchCAT420]

I rewatched the video for Pieces by L'arc en Ciel and it seems to be about a dagger sold by a street vendor/bum. They show various scenes throughout history where the dagger was used to kill a person. Curious how they came up with that. From the little Japanese I could understand, seems like the song is about romance. In the end, the lead singer stabs his bandmate in public in broad daylight.

Van Halen, Hot for Teacher. A somber tale of hot teachers and the students who are dying to fuck them. Seriously though, watch the video if you haven't seen it or haven't seen it in a while. Rock and roll is supposed to be fun. A bit goofy. Sure, socially conscious themes are a part as well, but damn music used to be fun and no one embodied this better than Van Halen in its heyday.

The video for “I stay away” is one of my favorites.

Me too, and one of my favorite songs. The ultimate mix of Layne Staley sorrow and Jerry Cantrell melody

Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet. The term 'Stan' actually made it to the dictionary

Daft punk had that one album where all the music videos tell an ongoing story. It is fun.

The who, Tommy. It is a musical movie also

Good stuff.

For just one song, Metallica- whiskey in the jar

This song is based on the true story of Lela and Raymond Howard, an elderly couple from Salado, Texas who drove to the annual Pioneer Day festival 10 miles away in Temple and didn't return....
