Escape The Fate Releases (Sorta) Explicit Music Video

Rockstars and naked girls go together like peanut butter and jelly—at least, that seems to be the going theory behind the new “explicit” video for Escape the Fate‘s “10 Miles Wide.” Just how explicit is it?

Well, there are some boobs, and a little bit of groping, and, hey, Ron Jeremy shows up for about two seconds—but that’s about it. Apparently, that’s all you need to allow a publicist to declare that “This is easily the most scandalous video released in the last decade.” (Which we totally agree with, provided you insert “featuring Escape the Fate” after video, and change “decade” to “day.”)

    The band nicely evoke “Hot for Teacher” era David Lee Roth, as well Axl &/or Izzy at the height of their power — though the DLR seeming “pilot” might in fact be a ringer & not in the band (on that score, beyond the Buckcherry frontman*, there is of course Ron Jeremy, & possibly Tim from Rancid (not sure); obviously, too, scores of mid/entry-level pornstresses &/or Playboy models &/or SuicideGirls-types) — but I could do without the three-years-old SOAP gag. General hijinx on a plane, Poison re-recording “Learn to Fly” (Foo Fighters) & re-shooting the video for same, would be the motif for which Escape the Fate should have aimed. Instead, I cannot help but feel this contrived glamour is as much turn-of-the-willenium punker ironism directed at hair-bands & such, as an actual statement of purpose (“rock out, spray down them titties with Heineken, get some”). I shall wait to see further ETF videos before making a decision as to which direction they have pursued.

    As is, next time they need to get Jonas Akerlund to direct.
