Music Videos: Revisited.
Here is the next installment of the “Revisited” series. This time Mike V chimes in with his thoughts on his band’s music videos…
___________________________________________
“With a handful of shows coming up for my new band, Mike Vallely / By The Sword, I thought it would be cool to revisit videos from my previous bands Mike V & The Rats and Revolution Mother.”
“These two videos are the closest thing either of my previous bands have ever come to a music video. Both were shot on the cheap by friends doing me a solid.”
“I’ve always liked both videos and both songs. Watching these brings back some great memories and I’m looking forward to making some new memories with my new band at these upcoming shows. Check the tour dates page for more info.”

Photos From The Affliction $5 Christmas Show.
Larry here…
This past Saturday night Affliction Clothing held a huge Christmas show at the Long Beach Area in Long Beach with T.S.O.L., Suicidal Tendencies, Pennywise and Danzig. Despite some camera technical difficulties, I managed to salvage a few photos from the night. Here they are:
Hooked up VIP style.
Preshow empty arena.
Tonight’s set times.
Mike catching up with legendary skateboard photographer, O.
Front of house shot of openers, T.S.O.L.
Frenzied crowd during Suicidal Tendencies.
Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies. Still cyco after all these years.
In between Suicidal Tendencies and Pennywise’s sets, Mike handed (not thrown or tossed) skateboards to lucky members of the audience.
Someone in the front about to score a brand new deck from Mike.
Jon Sweeney and Mike V, stage left, watching Pennywise.
Pennywise with their new singer, Zoli from Ignite.
Headliners, Danzig. Danzig seemed a bit out of character that night. Smiling, very talkative on stage and he even wished the crowd a Merry Christmas. WTF!?

A hundred years from now, Mike Vallely (also known as Mike V) will be viewed as one of skateboarding's pioneers. He'll be remembered as a burly, glue-footed, hella-pop artist. An ATV ruler, a poet, and a fighter's fighter. An iconoclast among icons.
