MikeCampbell Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The Jimmy Garvin cameo was rather cool, but there was far too little wrestling in the video for my liking. Although the little bit shown was cool, almost makes me long for a Freebirds/Von Erichs comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I will probably be including a high-end Freebirds/Von Erichs match in the near future. I thought this was really cool and a great way to really make Hayes seem like a superstar. This video wouldn't have looked out of place showing on MTV at the time because the production values are so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlairPinnedMe Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 The main thing that stuck out to me during this was how good the production values were for 1985. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Michael Hayes in the 80's was really cool. Doc Hendix not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayes looked every part the charismatic rock star, so it was a great vehicle to get him and his gimmick over. I thought the only problem with the video is that it made the other Freebirds seem like bit players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hayes was the frontman though..I mean the Birds were basically the vehicle for his debauchary in alot of ways. Anyhow, is it wrong that I instantly remembered every word to the song as soon as it came on? That's probably a sign that it was really, really good at what it was supposed to be good at. Also that footage of Gordy pushing the fan and Hayes rabid fire punching in the cage was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricR Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I was hoping for more wrestling as well, but you can't complain about the top-notch production. This really needed a showdown between the Freebirds and all the punk rockers. Gordy shoving that fan and then mauling some guy in the corner had me flipping out. I had to rewind a couple times. I also loved Gordy's shirt that just said "Rock n Roll". A friend of mine has a t-shirt that says "Punk" in sparkly letters, and it has a manfactured rip in it. Good way to start the wrestling action. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
