Aprašymas

In this boisterous and entertaining memoir, Nigel Dick recounts his wild ride from record company motorcycle messenger to one of the world's leading music video directors.

After a brief stint buking in the Paris Metro, Nigel Dick got his start in the music business at London's upstart Stiff label in the late '70s, working with Graham Parker, Ian Dury, Devo and the Go-Go’s. From helping out on a Madness video, he began a career as a music video director; he went on to work with hundreds of stars, including Oasis, Ozzy, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Guns n' Roses, Cher, Toto, Britney Spears, Nickelback, Celine Dion, Alice Cooper, Alice in Chains, Robert Plant and Tears for Fears. If you’ve ever watched MTV, you’ve seen his work.

Ten videos directed by Nigel Dick:

• Bananarama: “Cruel Summer”
• Band Aid: “Do They Know It’s Christmas”
• Cher: “Believe”
• Def Leppard: “Rocket”
• Florida Georgia Line: “Dirt”
• Guns n’ Roses: “Sweet Child o’ Mine”
• Oasis: “Champagne Supernova”
• Britney Spears: “Oops! I Did It Again”
• Tears for Fears: “Shout”
• Kim Wilde: “Kids in America”

With so many artists depicted here making the videos by which they have come to be known, there is something for everyone who's ever watched MTV and wondered about their creation.
