Hey Ed,
 
Thanks for checking it out, buddy, and for your kind words!
 
Yeah, LOL, I was super uncomfortable and felt like a total imbecile the entire time while shooting the video.  After a gazillion years of playing live on stage, and feeling very natural acting like a maniac, nothing ever bothered me, but I always felt like an idiot and hated getting our band promo pictures taken because the "posing" factor made me cringe.  I do however, feel that I've got the perfect "face for radio".   Hopefully I'll force myself to try to not hate it as much for the next video.
 
Thanks, Ed, have a great 4th of July!

Hey, Scotty,
 
Thanks, brother, I appreciate you checking it out!  But, really LOL, "The King of Queens"?  One of my buddies that I haven't seen in quite a while said I looked like a different comedian, Brian Regan.  Maybe, I'll switch to comedy and start a new career!  "Yeah, that's the ticket!"
 
Thanks again, Scott, I hope you're enjoying your new Motif.  Have a great 4th, buddy!

Hey, Craig,
 
Thanks very much for checking out the video and for your encouraging comments!  I really appreciate that, because as you can see in my reply to Bapu above, during the entire shooting of the video, to me, it felt like I was actually getting that good old "wedgie from hell".   A wedgie probably would have been more comfortable!
 
Seriously, Craig, thanks a lot for your support, I truly appreciate it, buddy, and have a great holiday!

Hey, Paulo,
 
Thanks very much for checking it out and commenting!  You hit the nail on the head, Paul, as I mentioned in my replies to Ed and Craig, even after decades of playing to live audiences, shooting the video was definitely one of the most uncomfortable things that I've ever done!  LOL, I'm really glad I became a musician and not an actor!
 
I'm just starting pre-production for the next video for "Concrete Sky", and I'm hoping to learn to enjoy it a little instead of being totally miserable throughout the entire ordeal.
 
Also, thanks very much for the links, he uses some cool effects in the video, and his U2 cover was really well done.  It looks like his website is down for the past couple days, but I'd be interested to see some of his other videos.
 
Thanks again, Paulo, greatly appreciated, sir!

Bob Oister on YouTube... how cool is that?  Pretty damned cool.  I remember this tune well.  Great work all the way around, Bob.

Hey, Gary,
 
Thank you so much for checking out the video, and for your kind words of encouragement!
 
Yes, sir, believe it or not, I'm exactly the same way.  LOL, as you can see from my remarks above, for me, the actual video shooting was the mental equivalent of having an ice pick shoved into my eye , but I do plan to try to relax and have fun with it for the next video.
 
Thanks again for your kind words and your support, I greatly appreciate it, Gary!

Hey, Tony,
 
How are you, buddy?  Doing great, I hope!
 
Thanks for checking out the video and for the very kind words!  Last year you posted your really cool video for "Perfect Love Affair", and it was one of the sparks that got me interested in giving this video stuff a shot.
 
I greatly appreciate your friendship and comments, Tony, have a good one, my friend!

Hey, Bruce,
 
How are you buddy?  It's really great to hear from you!
 
I greatly appreciate you checking it out, and also your kind words!  Yep, green screens and chroma key are actually pretty cool.  After a little learning, I actually really enjoyed the video editing part of the process a lot.
 
Thanks for stopping by to check out the video, much appreciated, Bruce!

Perfectly astonishing ... the flaming heart ... performances ... dances ... blue and fire guitars ... hahahahaha!!

This is signature and rock solid ... and I must admit:

Sir!  Its great to see you live!!!  Thanks for this awesome video!

Nice Video Bob! I like the FX. Did you use a green screen?

song has killer guitar tones, produced well, and the mix is splendid. vocals are strong. you're a way better guitar player than i will ever be so much respect there.

as for the video....hmmm.... you get an A for effort as it being your first foray into the medium and experimenting with After Effects and greenscreens etc... trust me I know what a colossal project it becomes...but I guess I'm not a huge fan of the 80s metal video genre in general.   I mean, quality wise the video is great; but the smoke, fire, hot dancing chick etc. are kinda cliche metal music iconics that have been worn thin and were given a coup de grace with 90s grunge/seattle sound. the silhouetted dancing girl also looks more like she's a cheerleader at a USC football game or at home doing her Wii aerobic workout. however if your goal was to breathe life into the 80s thing well then it is successful from that point, and i know it was a good learning experience nonetheless. i will always love a good metal song and honest effort is all that's important. plus this is just my personal tastes too so it means nothing really as far as how you should feel about your work. i just like bizarre artistic videos in the likes of Radiohead, NIN or even Marilyn Manson. 

Not my type of music, but sounded good, and not to wild so as to listen to the song more than once.

I love this song the first time I heard it. Awesome vocals, you can really sing. For the video, I would put the girl is background to make it a bit more mysterious and have you perform more in the front. For the girl, I would find some more sexy shots rather than having her jumping around all the time. The message here is your desire for her.
