Fun little article. Quotes Gibbons as saying they were inspired by Ministry and Depeche Mode.
The liner notes to the Deluxe edition state that Gibbons had been to clubs and wondered why they didn’t get played in dance clubs. It also states that the videos were really spurred on by Beard discovering MTV and watching for like five hours one night. He told the other guys and they asked the record company and the rest is history.
I need to watch this MTV awards performance with the entire audience wearing beards.
