Another Max Q. Peck YouTube Classic

Before you go see this shameless display of goofiness from 25 years ago, I'd just like to add these thoughts.
  • Max's DMTV Project (Dumb Music TV) was unscripted for the most part. We turned on Max's camcorder and went with the flow. Max eventually did all the editing. I posted about the Sister Twister video here.
  • Yes, those that made this video couldn't stand Kevin Debreaux and Quiet Riot. He was a dick, completely deserving of our scorn and ridicule.
  • We were pretty good at ridiculing things because we practiced so much.
  • Uh, yeah, we broke into the West Point Movie Theater at midnight or so, filmed for an hour, and got out before anyone caught us. I was a projectionist there (awesome job BTW), and the movie in the background was some forgetable flick with major nudity scenes in the first 15 minutes or so.
  • The guitarist, Mitch, is a serious musician in real life and was actually playing the song note for note on the first of two takes. (Me: Dude, we're lipsynching, you don't have to really play it. Him: I know, I just want to be accurate.)
  • I am donning a wig for this one. Why? I don't know. My hair was as long as the wig. The wig was definitely goofier.

Enjoy!

Okay maybe I'm just super dumb, but which one were you? I thought you were the singer but then you mentioned the long wig.....

This is one awesome fucking video. You guys were total clowns, I love it.

Hil-fucking-arious!

Could you not find a fake drummer?

Is that Roy Harris on bass? He's awesome!

Ah, Mitch's Greentop Les Paul...

I believe that the checkered tank-top came from Milkyum's extensive Rock God wardrobe.
