So tonight Mel and I watched the MTV music video awards. Saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers " Dani California" video for the first time. I thought it was great and then I attempted to name all of the artists that Anthony Kiedis impersonates....well actually all of the people being impersonated in the video. Problem is there were a few I really didn't ( Read more... )

I had never seen this video before (I don't watch a lot of muchmusic any more), but I looked it up online and it was so much fun!

As near as I can tell, they picked people to impersonate who represented different eras of popular music from the 50s until today, including:
Elvis (first generation rock and roll)
The Beatles (British invasion rock)
Jimi Hendrix (Psychaedelic music)
Parliament (70s funk)
Van Halen (glam rock)
The Clash (punk)
The Misfits (80s metal)
Def Leppard (hair metal)
Nirvana (90s "alternative")

Solved at least one of the ones I couldn't figure out. The Misfits is one of the images I couldn't get, I chalked it up to modern punk bands like Good Charlotte and the like.....

I got most of what you listed....I also got Twisted Sister for the Glam Rock....

The other one I was trying to get was blue satin suite with the top hat....couldn't get that one and which band exactly was it where the lead singer use to where that long white coat and the white bandana.....was it Twisted Sister?

No problem - I live for music, so this was lots of fun for me!

It was def. The Misfits was the bit where they had their hair greased into little spikes that came down over their faces - they're the only band that I can think of that ever did that. The suit with the top hat would be Sammy Hagar, although now that I think about it, that was more his style during his solo career than when he was with Van Halen.
Good job spotting Twisted Sister - I completely had missed them!
