Hinder Give Themselves Four Minutes To Save Every Butt-Rock Cliche In The Book

hinder.jpgScarves. 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.
