The following are "Classic Videos" from the world of rock that we've found lurking on YouTube. A new video will be added every month:

A biy of drunken debaunchery this month with those lovable Dogs D'amour and the heartbreaking rocker "I Don't Want You to Go" - Remember a dog is for life, not just for Christmas...... "down boy"!
November 2011
This time it's the turn of those Tutonic Monsters of Rock The Scorpions with a live performance of "The Zoo" from the Wacken festival in 2006. Vorsprung Rock Technique!!!!....
October 2011
With October being the month of scary pumpkins, a bit of Hammer inspired Black Sabbath was in order, so it's a majestic version of the title track from their "Heaven and Hell" album performed live in New York in 1980 and featuring the late, great Ronnie James Dio. Tremble ye little children......
September 2011
Giant Wombles, Tony Blackburn and shoulder pads that would make Alexis Carrington wet herself with excitment! Get ready Pop Pickers , from a 1973 Top of The Pops it's Mott The Hoople with "Roll Away The Stone"....Sha-la-la-la-push-push.....
August 2011
Can't afford a colour TV licence?....this is for you! From the early days of guitar driven British rock it's the Yardbirds with "Heart Full of Soul" from a 1965 "Shindig" show featuring a very young looking Jeff Beck.
July 2010
Apparently Chris Packham of BBC Springwatch fame doesn't like Van Halen so this is especially for him, it's the monstrous Van Halen anthem "Runnin' With The Devil".......lock up your chaffinches!!!
June 2011
A bit of Irish magic from the stratocaster wizard Rory Gallagher. Filmed live in 1975 this is the brilliant "Tattoo'd Lady" filmed live in in 1975:
May 2011
Seeing as legendry Rust guitarist Dave "DJ" Johnson is still in rehab from breaking his arm, we'll stick with the theme and May's Classic Rock Video is therefore a live version of Judas Priest's immortal "Breaking The Law" - enjoy.....
April 2011
In tribute to DJ's broken arm we couldn't resist the awesome Saxon NWOBHM classic "Strong Arm of The Law" - Set your air guitars to stun.....
March 2011
Better late then never! Here's the ever subtle Motorhead (and a few respectable "friends"!!!!) with an impeccable version of their much loved ballad "Killed By Death" live from the Wacken festival in 2009. Perfect for a sunny spring morning.
February 2011
For obvious reasons it had to be a Gary Moore video this month following his death on 6th February. This is the haunting single "Empty Rooms" from 1985's "Run For Cover" album. RIP.......
January 2011
Back in 1983 Iron Maiden were well on their way to world domination of the spandex and studs industry! To solidify their spot they released the classic gung-ho anthem"The Trooper" from the Piece of Mind album. Hold on to your hats.....
December 2010
Just in time for the New Year it's The New York Dolls with their "Personality Crisis" - Our very own Dave "DJ" Johnson has one of these as he's never sure which platforms to wear!
November 2010
A certain Mr David Coverdale seduces the ladies with his silky tonsils on the original 1980 version of "Fool for Your Loving". This is the "proper" recording before he discovered MTV, widdly guitars and buxom lasses cavorting on top of his Jaguar!
October 2010
Time to get those lighters in the air (or should that be mobile phones these days?). This is Cinderella from 1990 with their classic power ballad "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)". Excuse me I feel a tear coming......uh, did you see the Bears last night?
September 2010
Following last months video we've been asked to include more "birds" on this website, so here's those brilliant Welsh wonders Budgie! This is the classic "Breadfan" from 1973 which you may also know from Metallica's cover of the track:
August 2010
If you have fond memories of the 1980's when spandex clad men strutted like real men do, with poodles on their heads, and women felt the strange urge to abandon their clothing at the sight of a motorbike you'll love this gem as Helix cover Crazy Elephant's classic "Gimme, Gimme Good Lovin":
July 2010
Get those bell bottomed loon pants on! - it's Slade with the classic and much covered "Mama Weer all Crazee Now":
June 2010
