Before Mindfreak, Criss Angel was an 80s rocker

Wow, that really sux. Nice steady drumming, NOT! Props to Criss for singing and cutting a girl in half at the same time but it's not strange this didn't catch on, even in the eighties.

[dets1]

i got about a minute into it. that's embarrasing.

[MBreinin]

I made it 1:32 before I had to kill it. My lord, what a concept! Magic, guitars and hair!!

The epitome of lame.

When I lived in West Hollywood in the late 80's I took some studio production classes. The teacher at the time was telling us about this new pop-metal group he was producing called Spellbinder. Same exact deal as this Chriss Angel video. The group performed magic while they performed their music. At the time I thought to myself... "What in the world??!! This band won't go anywhere!" At that moment I realized just how ridiculous and absurd the music scene in Hollywood had become.

[johnspeck]

strangely enough, i felt like this was the most perversely entertaining trainwreck ever!

i was laughing my face off. i kept thinking of comedian rich hall's take on doug henning, and at the same time stoked at all the different things angel ripped off the big singers of the day. it was like the character from the "rock star" movie if he was covered in velveeta.

that was so funny i might have to watch it again. with the volume up. (kidding) :)

EDIT: listen to the note he tries to hit at 4:30 or so.

[90wreck]

oh my stomach hurts.....mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DANOCASTER]

no Chris, I do not want your love tonight :jo

[Bryan T]

Why didn't this catch on?

[reddgeetarzan]

Wow, Poison meets Doug Henning......that was really, really bad :jo

[6Tones]

I could never do a forward tumble hence my failure in 80s glammetal bands

:p

[hism-scism]

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

[Prodigy]

Sums up the whole 80's glam rock scene perfectly...all smoke and mirrors!

[cugel]

that explains SOOOOOOOOOOO much

[8nthatK]

That very possibly could be the most gay thing, ever...

[michael patrick]

Craptacular!

[franksguitar]

Well good thing he didn't quit his day job "Majic"

[BigSlick]

[Axemeister]

Wow, Poison meets Doug Henning......that was really, really bad :jo

:agree:roll:roll

[Guitar Josh]

This is the worst thing I've ever seen. And my dog was just sick.

[Glide]

And now he's boinking Holly, Hef's old squeeze.

What a country!

[Josh O]

I'm not gonna get that 1:48 (yes that's how long I made it) of my life back, wow.

[atquinn]

The moonwalk? Twice? Really?!?

30 seconds in and I bailed. So very bad.....

[sosomething]

This guy makes David Copperfield look like the embodiment of street cred.

I cannot imagine a cheesier persona.

It's as if he was born and bred for modern-day VH1 CelebReality.

[eyeteeth]

Wow.

That was serious wasn't it?

[Guitar Slinger6]

That is funny, he made the whole video disappear from my computer.

[amigo30]

Think that guitar player listened to the first Motley Crue album much?

[geetarboy]

I kept thinking that this is what Gob from Arrested Development would have been doing in the 80's.

[Scott Peterson]

Well, yea.... ummm, whew.

[andyland6]

Well, yea.... ummm, whew.


There you go...if you can't say anything nice...
