Today we offer to remember the most interesting in its concept music videos of Russian rockers! We will talk about masterpieces nineties…

Zero - "I'm Going for a Smoke"

Song "Going out for a smoke." groups "Zero." The film was produced by Alexei Rosenberg in 1992, and the initiator and main inspiration was Bakhyt Kilibayev, who wrote the script for the film. It was filmed by Alexei Rosenberg in 1992, and the initiator and main inspirer was Bakhyt Kilibayev, co-writer of the script for the film "Needle.". But what's most interesting is that the production was handled by the company's studio. "MMM.". Surely many people now remember Mavrodi! But this is not really about him.

A music video was shot with the sets for the film "Gongofer", which Kilibayev was working on at the time. We can see professional actors, including Ivan Martynov in the main role. From the members of the band itself in the frame appeared only Fyodor Chistyakov и Alexei Nikolaev. Alas, in some editions, episodes featuring them were for some reason cut out... .

Alice - "Route E95"

The black-and-white clip was shot in the summer 1997 year. What immediately catches the eye is the recognisable style of director Andrei Lukashevich: speech inserts, mysterious characters... Kinchev's daughter took part in the filming, Vera! As funny as it sounds, the angel was a journalist. Valery Panyushkin. By the way: this image was borrowed from the film "Michael."which hit the big screens the year before.

The dark angel wings are a whim of the leader of "Alice". Toyota 4Runner titled "Black Buffalo." also belonged to Kinchev.

♪ One day the world will bend to us ♪

The music video contributed enormously to the promotion of this song. It was filmed under the direction of a director Gregory of Constantinople after the release of the "Breaking Away" album. He, in fact, was the initiator - the members of Mashina had no plans to film. As the story goes, Konstantinopolsky was driving the car when he heard "One day the world will bend to us.". Thanks to his connections, he quickly got Makarevich's number and called him with a proposal to film a music video. At first, the Soviet bard refused his intrusive interlocutor, but after making enquiries about him, he called back 40 minutes later and agreed to film the clip.

In the clip, we can see footage of The Time Machine performing at a popular music festival. As of 2022, the clip has racked up more than 7.5 million YouTube views. Classicsin a word!

Song "There's no way out." and would have been a success without any accompanying video sequence! Many modern music lovers madly from this song, but most of them have never seen the music video for it... But there is one, and it has already gained millions of views on YouTube!

The story of this clip is quite fascinating. The filming took place at the height of January frosts, but in the Crimea. The main role went to the lead singer of Splin to Alexander Vasiliev. Director Mieczysław JózowskiIn his turn, he planned a very epic ending - Vassiliev was to slowly enter As it was cold outside, the musician was dressed in a waterproof diving suit, but it didn't help: the singer was soaking wet and so badly frozenthat he even got sick. Meanwhile, his heroic deed in the name of art was devalued during editing - Yuzovsky, who had conceived the whole thing, decided that the ending was too tragic... And so he simply carved the final scene!

Mumiy Troll - "Leak"

Sounds of Moo - "Rough Sunset"

The music video for the song "Rough Sunset." was fun and exciting! As of 2022, he has gained almost half a million views on YouTube! But the most interesting thing is that it served as a source of inspiration for... Americans!

In 2013, New York indie band. The National has unveiled the music video for the song "Sea of Love"which is exactly the same as the video of the homegrown band!

The musicians didn't concealthat they borrowed the idea, and in their defence they said:

"Thanks to Mamonov for showing us how music videos are made!"

King and Shute - "Men Eating Meat"

Perhaps one of the most interesting and expensive music videos of Russian rock belongs to the band "King and Shute.". The band members enlisted the help of a well-known music video maker for the shoots Boris Dedenevand paid a hefty sum of money, namely. $20,000.! However, they could afford it, because at that time they had a sponsor in the person of a company that produced a low-alcohol drink "Molotov cocktail.". The band recorded the music for the drink commercial and promoted it, and all the money earned from this campaign went to the clip. Later Andrei Knyazev noted that he was satisfied with the quality and production, although he had to overpay for the promoted name of the director.

For about a month, the clip was heavily promoted on television, but later. banned because of a scandalous storyline.
