No Better Than This John Mellencamp Official Video

[Radiance34]

I just love listening to this song! The entire album is full of great music that I'll always enjoy listening to! This is one of the only albums I have that I can listen to all the way through without skipping any songs...definitely music gets No Better Than This to me.

[ohemmi]

[boococky42]

[TheNellamaria]

Rock you , John..go on...

[fanofjohnmellencamp]

I want to learn how to dance like this girl!!!!

[kcprodypro]

I think he,s the BEST TOO

[sexyknickers0]

I LOVE JOHN!!!

[TheJacksonBoone]

Dave Roe the legend killin the upright. This is perfect.

[brucebetterly]

I've always loved John's music and I really love this song too. He's inspire's me to be a better singer, song wriiter and drummer. One of the things that makes him great is that everything he does comes from the heart.

[carleenkalweit]

The whole CD took me offguard and I have been thrilled with it. I am a casual fan of John's work yet this has been enchanting and his refinement shines through. I have bought the CD for my parents and friends.Buy it and get lost in the richness of this organic work.

[sawmillslim]

This is, without doubt, some of Mellencamp's best work....but will be rejected by corporate FM radio that's been in a damn rut for twenty years. There are lots of good tunes on this one...I think that Johnny Cash may have passed through the studio when John was recording this jewel.

[rainaroxy]

what a good video 2 match song mellencamps song writing is the greatest

[kmc8470]

I get it!

[shrewsean]

the girl dancing is so fit !!!! please get in touch with me !!!!!!

[donza01]

Seen the man live in concert on Sunday.I feel privilaged to have seen such a talented singer/songwriter in the flesh.

[sexyknickers0]

I LOVE THIS!!! CAN'T ASK FOR BETTER MUSIC!! LOVE YOU JOHN!!! :D

[johniedesk1]

One mic with tracking for back up which they didnt use. Nice, still cant get over this tune.

[johniedesk1]

This is how the old sun classics were made imagine Scooty Moore playing etc, Love it

[johniedesk1]

Great stuff, so simple and rough, but thats what its all about.

[TheTSpicer]

Someday Mr Mellencamp will be known as the best singer/songwriter, Someday but i don't know when?

[rainaroxy]

thanks!

[shrewsean]

love this song and all of the last 25 years i've been following this great man . . see you in manchester Mr mellencamp !!!

[DarkMaiden7]

I'm really happy he is making music like this. He's excellent at it and you can tell it makes him happy. If an artist is truly enjoying what they do, isn't that the point? It shines in this album. I absolutely can't get enough of it. I've become a bigger John Mellancamp fan because of it. Thank you John for this album! I listened to it on a road trip a few monoths back, and the memories are great because of it.

[swdstk7]

Look here you bunch of 'HATERS'....for those of you that don't like Mellencamp, you wouldn't know good music, if came up and bit you in the A**!

Get a grip people.....

"Keep Rockin' John" - YOU'RE the BEST!!!!

[TheTSpicer]

@swdstk7 I agree 100000000000000%

[TheChief1313]

You folks slamming this sun studio Cash Elvis sound have no culture.This is great.Sorry its not little Johnny Cougar lol

[marlanne21]

I love your' No Better Than This' CD John...simple style but gutsy...like the fact you went back to the roots of rock n''roll...recorded 9 songs at Sun Studio...where Elvis got his start!!

Songs are catchy...meaningful as well as make you think!

Thanks John you did it!! Lots of Love & Happiness!

[MottTheWot]

Is this no talent bum still playing around?

[KarlskroneAldi]

geiler song......who knows that beautiful sweeti.........? she makes me crazy......

[rainaroxy]

than this

[larrytxeast]

A typical guy I am, pulled this up to enjoy videos of the new album & end up gawking at the dancing cutie, ha ha. She must be too good to be true--a 20-something who dances to this song not Jay-Z etc and no tattoos that I can see? No way! It is a good album, I especially like songs #3, #4, #8, #9 and #12 and the "genuine" sound sonically-speaking, although this one (#5) is screaming for a more hi-fi treatment.

[WVFreebyrd]

@larrytxeast Funny I was just getting ready to post what a cute gal she is except for the tattoo (it appears) that goes all the way across her chest. Looks like something is written. Goodness, WHY do women ruin themselves ths way. Maybe it's not a tat but it sure looks like one to me.

[DragonWorship006]

come to the palace theater inGreenburg Pa.some time in the fall,i can get there would love to see him before i die lol,,For A MoM's night out thing,howelingmoon179

[DefLepLvr1]

And if you disagree with me, just ask John's supermodel wife!!!! What kind of man does this to his wife?! Look at his latest photo! MY GOD! GET A GRIP JOHN COUGAR ASSHOLE!

[DefLepLvr1]

And if you disagree with me, just ask John's supermodel wife!!!! What kind of man does this to his wife?! Look at his latest photo! MY GOD! GET A GRIp JOHN COUGAR ASSHOLE!

[DefLepLvr1]

John and Meg Ryan?! I know it's their "personal" life..LOL!!! But he is cheating...still married and Meg is a cheater from WAY BACK!!!! Turns the stomach...and THAT"S why I'm on here!!!!! The guy isn't THAT talented...I used to like him, but no more!

[marcoleonardi13]

this is my friend cesar dancing in the huitzuco downtown with his weekend skirt waiting for a man who can take him to a mothel with her pussy all sweted with the butter bar between her legs... but not honey nobody will pick u up....

[carrieabay]

he rocked this album.. u gotta see past the classic mellencamp and look at the new style. i saw him in concert and he put this southern twist on all his songs.. wow is all i can say. its like u need to see him in concert promoting this album to REALLY get it. i feel like i took a class on the album and i get it now! :) :)

[cookingfordads]

My only question is, supposedly it was all recorded with just a mono mic direct to tape, but in the video the guitar and the drums (at least) are all mic'd up. also where then did the delay on JM's vocal come from?

[CrunchyFrog47]

@cookingfordads The track he recorded in his studio and the song at the 414 Gunter Hotel were on one mic. for the Sun studio tracks, he wanted to mic it as closely to the way the studio was mic'd for Elvis and Cash.

[CrunchyFrog47]

@cookingfordads also the same tape slap echo is the same used in the old Sun recordings.

[sharonfrantz45]

I Love it, Love the Vintage Rock-A -Billy sound, it never goes out of style! Love ya John!

[DragonWorship006]

I LOVE JOHN HES THE BEST ,,KATE MASON,,HUGS,

[budmotor]

oh my god only woman can dance likethis

[tonycougar1984]

Gracias John por acompañarme con algunas de tus maravillosas canciones todos estos años.

[deancramer]

Who's the gal,please? D!C!

[redparrot61]

Great stuff, I love the earthy sounds. It looks like they are recording at Sun Studio in Memphis. Is that true?

[Mrpegs1]

I find this person dancing HOT

[fireviking21]

i never have heard John Mellencamp, i like Rockabilly..... but this song is verry good..

and the dancing girl is verry good, too.

Sorry for my english. i`m german.

[csx7527]

i've been a long time mellencamp fan and i think this is one of the worst albums he has done. i didn't like the sound of it. he needs to get back to his roots of rock and roll and get off this folk music kick. i mean who knows, he's already had his hits and made his money. maybe he will retire soon.

[comeonnow68]

Great tune to dance in our wooden living room floor, baby... No better than this! We can just lie and have some warm rest in our sofa... We can always let it happen once again... (Anyway, if you don't like you can always get dressed before leaving...)

[PatmanFilms]

Great job Kurt & son!!

From one of the Super 8 Boot Campers....

[zioband]

CREATIVITY aLIVE

[goldschwanz]

good john, thanks for the music

[EvilDrEx]

Great tune!!!

[meddavid1]

the sound is really bad.. 2 quite

[wado1942]

@meddavid1 What does "2 quite" mean? Sorry if I sound ignorant.

[gilles19522]

a very good song great john

[AldCastillo]

1:38 the best part.

[sbusumacinta]

What stock and why the vignette on frame? What happen to the power of super 8? I don't thing the footage is impressive. for such an interesting project.

[RatDog67]

@sbusumacinta are you retarded??? Listen to the vintage tracking used in the studio... The whole fucking album is about vintage... Idiot.. This is whole world is full of idiots that just don't get it.. I am sorry, This is not my usual demeanor.. I guess you just caught me a bit offf guard. Listen to the whole album and you'll see what I mean..

[sbusumacinta]

@RatDog67 I think you are an IDIOT writing replies like this insulting one. Moreover, I don't see any reason to link super 8 with vintage. Super 8 is a professional film format that should be taken way more serious than that. If indeed they try to use it for any vintage reason in relation to the sound the images are way to ugly to even be related to a vintage super 8 look.

[toresbe]

@sbusumacinta Super 8 is NOT a professional film format. It is, and will always be a toy format. Sometimes it's used for that effect. It isn't here. The clapper they're using is displaying timecode, so it has to be a high-end video or film camera with post-processing to make it look lo-fi and vintage, which is somewhat ironic.

[sbusumacinta]

@toresbe If you know cinematography (not sure now) you know that super 8 because of its frame dimensions offers the wides depth of field above any film format! Yes above 35mm! You are mistaking this is no toy! it is classified as a professional film format by the industry and by Kodak. It has been use as a toy? yes but not more than any other media.

[wado1942]

@sbusumacinta

Looks like Super-8 Kodalith or something similar. The vignetting is probably from transferring the film to video with a wider gate than one should use on that type of stock.

[rula42]

this girl and the underwear topic is really a good story...since u r not interested in the way mellencamp recorded that album....anyway...could be a thong, too...lol

[paparazzipete1]

MELLENCAMP RULES !!!!!!

[crankygoddess]

Love it - the B&W video goes together perfectly with the vintage vibe for the song/album ... as always, nothing but perfection from JM, himself!

[DIRKDB001]

... by the way... the black & white video is great.. Sorry, Buckey...

[DIRKDB001]

Old School Mellencamp with great new song, that's what i like...

[SavageHenry78]

The Super 8 looks great. And that was the Eastlake Ohio show that women was at.

[buckeyemusicguy]

John I love your music and this new song rocks but please go back to color videos!

The vintage vibe of B&W has a place every now and again but it's getting cliche.

[amccune]

#1 - Love the Super 8mm footage

#2 - Knowing how loud those old cameras can be, I doubt this was the take used on the album.

#3 - I don't think the girl in the video is wearing any underwear (pause at 1:35, 1:36)

#4 - Whoops!

[wado1942]

@amccune

Not all super-8 cameras are loud.  Even if it IS loud, you can get a blimp for it to trap the noise.

[showtime5700]

awesome cd the best mellencamp in a long time, thanks john for leaving your politics out of the music, its much, much better that way

[jonathan1stewart]

Great album. The liner notes say they recorded these songs in Sun Studios using only one vintage mic, with no mixing. Funny, but in the video you can see numerous microphones.

[KirkLives]

Great to see the One Take, all the band in the room, old school bass, tube amps,

feels good in my thirsty ears, Well Done John!!

A few more listens and it's stuck in my head. Enjoy!!

[duncanmcginnis]

I want to party with the dancing woman!

[happyINcarolina]

love it! Keep the good songs coming

[pro8mm]

Congratulations everybody! You all rock! And the Super 8 film look amazing! Thanks for taking us down the rural route with you!

Best,

Phil Vigeant

[buceintoronto]

Awaesome, this sounds like a classic. I'm going to buy it and play the shit out of it. This man is so underrated and like Springsteen, an amazing American artist who simply gets better with time. Way to John and thank you!

[stevdjr]

Fantastic song, looking forward to the record.

But yet ANOTHER AWFUL video from Mellencamp. His last decent one was "Key West Intermezzo" back in the mid 90s.

Let's face it, John's videos have never really hit the mark and now in his post-Life/Death/Love/Freedom days, he's not a "video artist", but still, one chick dancing around doesn't say a lot for what is a great song.

His videos always have short-changed his amazing music. My Sweet Love is a killer song with another rubbish video

[planezane]

BRILLIANT!......Thanks for sharing.

[WayneSkoting]

♥ Sun-Studio.

[fantasykick]

Great sound, great song. Way to go, Mr. Mellencamp. Really enjoy this song a lot!
