Shot for Shot Remake of Worst Video Ever
Journey is INTENSE!
It’s a fact that most 80s videos look dated and don’t hold up well, but Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” takes it to a new level. Taken from their 1983 album “Frontiers”, the song is classic Journey, driven by Jonathan Cain’s keyboards and Neal Schon’s guitar. The song was a big hit, hitting #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and #8 on the Pop Singles chart. The video however, is as cheesy as they come, complete with the band members trying too hard to look serious and intense, popped collars, bad editing and “air keyboards” by Jonathan Cain. Yes, “air keyboards”, along with the more common “air guitar”, “air bass”, and “air drums”. The band is rocking out as an air band and their instruments magically appear! Also note that Cain plays his keyboards on the wall, in a VERY intense manner.
The video below is a shot-for-shot remake of “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)”, so masterful that it won second place at the 2008 BYU-Idaho film festival. What could have possibly beaten it?

This is an amazing band’s own song with the Journey video as inspiration. Kay Hanley of Letter’s to Cleo is the hot chick.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that that video is that great compared to this remake:
