Star Appearances in Music Videos

Many videos may have a brief cameo from a celebrity of some sort. This is used to perhaps attract not only fans of the band itself, but for the celebrity to enhance his or her career by becoming more diverse. An example of this is Jason Biggs (American Pie Series) appearing in the music video for “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus. A common thing in music today is the collaboration of two or more different artists working on a song together. An example of this is Oli Sykes from Bring Me The Horizon featuring in the song and also appearing in the music video for You Me At Six’s “Bite My Tongue.”  This can improve a band’s reputation if the band is not very big, but this is not the case in the example. People from different bands will also appear in the music videos for another bands song. An example of this is the guest appearance of several stars within the same genre of music appearing in the music video for “All I Want” by A Day to Remember. Stars ranging from A Day to Remember’s former guitarist, Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Matt Heafy (Trivium), Vic Fuentes (Pierce The Veil) and Winston McCall (Parkway Drive) feature miming the song that the band are playing.
