Nothing like a Stevie Nicks video to brighten up a grey February day, hilarious, very definitely pre Betty Ford. Saw her in 89 in Dublin, brilliant have to say, she did a costume change at the end of each song, bowler hats,gypsy dresses the lot! She was there at least in body and in platform boots, guess nobody had told her that the 70s were over. Unforgettable.
I was born in 1983 but remember very well jamming out to this song on a 45 record. Haven't seen this video since around that time either but watching it now brought back a lot of memories! My parents would record MTV music videos on a VHS tapes so I'd always watch those, btw we didn't have cable tv back then so when the videos came on it was on regular antenna television. Damn I feel old! LOL
i first heard this in 1987 and every free moment i had in 1985 the radio was on. a friend of mine saw her in 1985 and said the show was so awesome but 1986 video of her shows her drunk. stage fright ruined what should have been the apex of her career.
I love Stevie Nicks, but I can't help but giggle through this whole video. The only words you can distinguish with 100% certainty are "I can't wait..." I want to play a drinking game to this where you drink if you hear an actual word (and I don't even drink anymore)!!!
Stevie on this video: " 'I Can't Wait' is one of my favorite songs...but now I look at that video, I look at my eyes, and I say to myself, 'Could you have laid off the pot, the coke, and the tequila for three days, so you could have looked a little better? Because your eyes look like they're swimming.' It just makes me want to go back into that video and stab myself."
I remember David Letterman poking fun at this video back in '85-'86 when Stevie didn't show up for an interview for the show. He kept playing the part from 3:28 saying. "I mean, c'mon now. How much talent does it take to do this?" Great song and video though.
Few people knew that she was friends with Michael Jackson and Prince. Check out her homage to MJ with her one glove, done her way, of course. I love them all.
At the time it was great. The background music, the "current" video...now it just sees like a slaughter of her original talent, inspiration. It's like the industry got her and made her do this.
An incredibly bad video except for 3:32 to 3:35 where her boobs fall out. If they made the whole video that way, it would have received more air time.
An incredibly bad video except for 3:32 to 3:35 where her boobs fall out. If they made the whole video that way, it would have received more air time.
At 2:39: "This is the moment on Sprockets when we dance!"
I love Stevie Nicks but that whole video is highly laughable today. Bad cues when she should be singing, editing is horrible, the dancers.....should be shot!
@KarlChilders I agree, but I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that it was made in the 80s. I've seen superb old music videos, this just isn't a good one.
All these fem rockers today are totally into the goth rock thing.....its staggering to me just how far Stevie was ahead of her time. She would be right at home with any of the 100s of current fem metal bands today like Within Temptation. Just take a look at my TOTALLY FEM METAL CHANNEL and see for yourself. Its actually really good. All these gals wearing corsets as stage wear! UNBELIEVABLE. INCLUDING the queen of them all, Tarja Turunen on the channel background image. This has gone places.
i love stevie nicks, this song is so 80's and so catchy. but damn, this song also perfecly illustrates coked out 80's stars. im glad she went to rehab and stopped the blow.
@joshua6200 Yeh! Me too.... this was on the juke box at my local Pint n' Pie, Hanley, Heart.... Roxette, Bon Jovi... FM..... Whitesnake,,,,, all that WOW.... we had a rock club near to Alton Towers called the Highwayman..... had many a night rockin in there...
I miss it too - what's lame about that??? The music was everything but "lame" !!! I think it was a decade filled with great music from th old great names in the business as well as totally new, experimental and inspirational things - even here in Gernany with "Neue Deutsche Welle (transl. new german wave) ....
@joshua6200 yeah you gotta love the pink and purple lighting and the wind machine. why dont people do that anymore? If i was to make a music video id totally use a wind machine!
one of Stevie best,Straight out of the 80,s the best time for music.Full of fire and passion.i Carnt help noticing the short skirts and the white high heels 80s written all over it.Fab times.
Gotta love the fem rockers. Outside the US they are all the rage these days with hotties like Charlotte Wessels, Annette Olzon, Liv Kristen, and Tarja Tarrunen. Say you dont know any of these? And you claim to love fem rock. Better check out my TOTALLY MUSIC ARTIST CHANNEL and scope through the Totally Fem Rock/Metal playlist.....IT WILL AMAZE YOU!
even though its not one of her best I think she was taking the piss out of the 80s, especially having those stupid moces and also having Mick in there aswell.....The whole thing is loud and very loud BUT having said that its Stevie Nicks ! and theres nobody who knows how to work the camera better, not even Madonna
@pete0118lady yeah i can see what you mean. Its like shes taking the piss out of typical mid 1980s music videos with all the neon lights and a wind machine blasting in her face. I like it too even though it is her more pop kind of stuff.
This is what MTV & VH1 was about not about the slutty girls and there losers boyfriends they go with or get married to and the other dumm shows they have on there today. and music videos of so called singers who think they can carry a tone please. bring MTV & VH1 Back to life again !!! this is what good music is about feel good music. does anyone agree with me please leave me your comments love to know what you think ? Stevie Nicks Now And Forever Bring good music back again!!!
I forgot all about this song. I'm a Stevie Nicks fan but this song pretty much sucks. Ugghhh.... I know a lot of people think the 80's were cool but I graduated high school in 86 and looking back, I think that most of the music from the decade was terrible. MTV ruined rock n roll because it was all about the music video and the quality of the music itself was secondary. (Check out Gold Dust Woman to see some great Stevie Nicks)
@PizmoBeach1 well as an eighteen year old i can see what you mean but compared to now id prefer to listen to 80s music because of one main thing. Lyrics. Lyrics in most songs these days are terrible compared to decades past and at least in the 80s there were still decent songwriters. it wasn't all producer driven and manufactured as it is now with american idol and the x factor spitting drivel at us.
