So Arctic Monkeys have just made their music video for Cornerstone and it will either make you chuckle for its indifference and irony or make you question if they spent a bit too much money on getting Josh Homme to produce and record their 3rd album in a desert, but whatever you think of it somehow I don't see it winning any video awards. Maybe the point they are trying to make?
Here's another video that clearly didn't leave a hole in Conor Oberst' back pocket.
But is the end result really worth it when artists DO spend millions on a music video? Take a look at the top 3 most expensive music videos ever made...
1) Michael and Janet Jackson- Scream (cost $7,000,000)
2)Madonna- Die Another Day (cost $6,100,000)
3)Madonna- Express yourself (cost $5,000,000)
It ain't really a surprise that the richest King and Queen of pop had the most money to create a few minutes of a visual experience but I must say that neither are they the most inspiring or memorable music videos I've ever seen.
Alex Turner definitley hasn't made a masterpiece here and it will cause people to mock their budget but at least it's one I'll remember and one that proves that you don't have to have a stupidly big budget to create an impact.
What's one of your favourite music videos and how much did it cost to make?
