On This Day in 1986 - Peace Sells Video Shoot

On a run of fall dates to the Midwest, Texas and East Coast we stopped at the infamous L'Amour of Brooklyn, New York where we shot our first music video for the title track from Peace Sells...But Who's Buying. We filmed band footage all day before our show that evening, and also included some of the live footage from that evening's performance as well. The video was directed by famed New York artist, Robert Longo. Fun Facts: Due to the strobing effect toward the end of the video, which was reported could cause epileptic seizures, the video was banned in the UK. Also, the opening scene of us walking across the stage was a plug for our new Nike endorsement that we had courtesy of Capitol Records. Photo: Frank White
