The best rock music videos from 2007

Rock music has always been about more than just the music – it’s about the attitude, the fashion, and the lifestyle. And that’s never been more true than in the world of rock music videos. In 2007, there were some amazing videos that captured the essence of what rock music is all about. Here are a few of our favorites:

“Icky Thump” by The White Stripes
The White Stripes are known for their stripped-down sound and their DIY aesthetic, and “Icky Thump” is a perfect example of both. The video was filmed in black and white and features the band performing in a variety of locations, including an empty field, a parking garage, and a junkyard. It’s a simple video, but it perfectly suits the song.

“ parallels ” by 30 Seconds to Mars
30 Seconds to Mars is a band that is known for their epic music videos, and “parallels” is no exception. The video was filmed in Iceland and features stunning shots of the Icelandic landscape intercut with footage of the band performing. The result is a visually stunning video that perfectly complements the song.

The video for the title track features Winehouse singing in a variety of locations, including an alleyway, a pool hall, and a laundromat.

A retrospective of the best rock music videos from 2007

As the world of music changes, so do the music videos that accompany it. In 2007, we saw a shift in the rock genre as artists began to experiment with new sounds and visuals. Here is a retrospective of the best rock music videos from that year.

“Falling Away from Me” by Korn was one of the first stand-out rock videos of 2007. The video tells the story of a man who is struggling to deal with the death of his wife. The band performs in a dark room as the man’s memories of his wife flash before him. The video is equal parts heartbreaking and visually stunning.

We also saw a change in direction for Foo Fighters with their video for “The Pretender”. The video is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the last humans are living in a city that is constantly under attack from monsters. The band tries to escape the city while being pursued by these creatures. The video is gritty and action-packed, and it showed Foo Fighters experimenting with a new sound and visual style.

2007 was also the year that My Chemical Romance released their iconic video for “Welcome to the Black Parade”. The video follows the story of a man who is dying of cancer and is reminiscing about his life. The band appears as ghostly figures throughout the video, representing different people and moments in his life. The video is sentimental and moving, and it helped propel My Chemical Romance to superstardom.

Finally, we have “Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon. This video is much simpler than some of the others on this list, but it perfectly captures the raw energy and sexuality of the song. We see close-ups of the band members as they perform, intercut with shots of them walking through a desert landscape. The video is sensual and alluring, and it perfectly complements the song’s themes.

These are just some of the great rock music videos that came out in 2007. It was a year that saw artists experiment with new sounds and visuals, resulting in some truly groundbreaking videos.
