June 20, 200718 yr comment_5417829 The Jimmy Garvin cameo was rather cool, but there was far too little wrestling in the video for my liking. Although the little bit shown was cool, almost makes me long for a Freebirds/Von Erichs comp.
June 20, 200718 yr Author comment_5417838 I will probably be including a high-end Freebirds/Von Erichs match in the near future. I thought this was really cool and a great way to really make Hayes seem like a superstar. This video wouldn't have looked out of place showing on MTV at the time because the production values are so good.
June 20, 200718 yr comment_5417840 The main thing that stuck out to me during this was how good the production values were for 1985. Pretty cool.

Hayes looked every part the charismatic rock star, so it was a great vehicle to get him and his gimmick over. I thought the only problem with the video is that it made the other Freebirds seem like bit players.
June 22, 200718 yr comment_5417934 Hayes was the frontman though..I mean the Birds were basically the vehicle for his debauchary in alot of ways. Anyhow, is it wrong that I instantly remembered every word to the song as soon as it came on? That's probably a sign that it was really, really good at what it was supposed to be good at. Also that footage of Gordy pushing the fan and Hayes rabid fire punching in the cage was awesome
October 1, 200717 yr comment_5422421 I was hoping for more wrestling as well, but you can't complain about the top-notch production. This really needed a showdown between the Freebirds and all the punk rockers. Gordy shoving that fan and then mauling some guy in the corner had me flipping out. I had to rewind a couple times. I also loved Gordy's shirt that just said "Rock n Roll". A friend of mine has a t-shirt that says "Punk" in sparkly letters, and it has a manfactured rip in it. Good way to start the wrestling action. Eric
