James Cameron’s Only Music Video is Either His Best or Worst Work

From the video’s YouTube page:

In 1988, actor Bill Paxton and vocalist/guitarist Andrew Todd Rosenthal formed a short-lived rock duo, Martini Ranch. They recorded and released just one album, entitled Holy Cow, which included inputs from Devo members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Casale and Alan Myers (all of whom contributed to the album’s hit “How Can the Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?”), along with Cindy Wilson of the B-52’s as a back-up vocalist, and actor Judge Reinhold is credited as a whistler. The video was directed by James Cameron, director of Terminator & Aliens. It is remarkably, the only music video he ever shot.

The video includes cameos from director Kathryn Bigelow, as well as Aliens and Terminator alumni Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Mark Rolston and Jenette Goldstein (from Aliens), Brian Thompson (can you spot him ? He got gutted at the beginning of T1 and was the great bad guy in Cobra), Judge Reinhold, and Adrian Pasdar who had appeared in Bigelow’s Near Dark) with Paxton, Goldstein and Henriksen.

According to many of the gorgeous girls appearing in this video who mailed us, we might be one of the last few owning a playable VHS of this video. Ours was duplicated by Bill Paxton himself back in the late 80’s, and given us for promotion.

And yes, this is Mike Cameron with several Tarantulas on his face! Here it is for all those who starred in it, and have junked their tape Bill made for them, and all those who never got to see it.
