Faith No More "Epic" was way more influential than "Hunger Strike" and, wouldn't you know it, that video didn't even get a mention in the article.
I was a huge fan, and I have to say that Hunger Strike was the cringiest video I had seen up to that point. I couldn't stand it, it was so phony. Eddie Vedder inexplicably singing in the middle of weeds or tall grass and you could barely see him, it was hilarious. The rest of the band playing electric guitars on the beach with no hookups, was just so full of phoniness, it was probably the absolute worst video of that era. The idea that this video somehow "pioneered" other music videos is laughable.
