Scarves. Scantily clad ladies. Flashy cars. A strategically placed woman on a pool table. Andrew “Dice” Clay as a leering bouncer. Yes, Hinder’s video for “Use Me” brings back all the good-time video tropes of 20 years ago–but if that description entices you, you’ll have to click through to see it, since it’s sprung from the bowels of Universal Music Group, which apparently needs every last bit of banner-ad revenue it can wring out from the sidebars of YouTube’s pages. In an effort to provide a contextual embed, after the jump please find a clip of Skid Row performing “Big Guns” at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in 1989. Seriously, “Use Me” is little more than a slightly updated, less hooky rewrite of the opening track from that band’s debut album, and I’m kind of surprised Sebastian Bach hasn’t taken to the blogs to complain about this fact yet.

What?? No changing the physical properties of things due to how hard they “rock”!??

@Dead Air ummm Dead Air: I will see your reference and raise you a “Why doesn’t it take place in a factory where they only manufacture sparks?”
@RaptorAvatar: Plus hot chicks…miles away from the band! All the while the band is shirtless or wearing a leather vest with no shirt! Rubbing bare shoulder blades together. GAAAAYYYY!
Ok, I think I’m done ripping off Patton Oswalt.
Actually, I think this only manages to be about as gay as five guys blowing six guys, too.
