On June 28th,2003 The film crew from UMTV (Rich Stahle,Jerimi & Gilbert) set off to the KISS
Barn in Fulton to attempt to film the video for "Mine,Mine,Mine" from CAROLINE BLUE. This was actually
the THIRD attempt at making this video. Wayne explains to us what happened...
"We actually filmed
a live video of the song from a show we did at a place called Angels out in Oneida on January 25th,2003.
Rich had the vid done in a week and we were all excited about it-till we saw it. Visually it's ok,but
sonically it was horrible. The drums sounded like cardboard boxes and,during the solo,the bass was almost
nonexistant. In addition,my guitar tone wasn't great and during the chorus',the vocal jumped out and
hit you in the head like a hammer! So,the video was scrapped."
"The 2nd attempt was actually on
June 14th,2003-the day after our show at Mr.C's. We were going to lip-synch the song to our demo from
the studio-basically like the standard way videos are done.Rich had stressed to me the importance of
the area being well-lit so I rented out some stage lights from a friend of mine. The problem was,those
lights-combined with Rich's construction lights-blew out the power! Since no one knew how to get it back
on at the time,we reschedualled the shoot."
"That leads us to the 3rd time. We got the shoot done,but
it was a hellacious task doing so. First of all,it was very hot that day-and being on the 2nd floor and
running around in a room with basically no ventilation just rose the temperature even higher. Then things
were running late cause a certain band member showed up 2 hours late. The stage lights weren't there,but
even with just Rich's lights,we still blew the power! We actually had to run some 100 ft. extension cords
over to the house next door to power everything. So that took awhile to get going.If only things ended
there...."
"Then we had to find a good stable place for the CD player cause as soon as me or Ham
jumped in the air and came down,the CD player would skip! Ham loaned me his original 1978 Paul Stanley
Ibanez Iceman guitar for the shoot. Beautiful guitar. There were 4 takes all together.Right at the beginning
of the 2nd take,the screw for the strap ripped out-you should've seen the look on Ham's face! Luckily
I had my Ibanez RG-570 there as backup. Then towards the end of the 3rd take,Ham rips out his strap lock
as well! By this time tempers were starting to flare but we finally got thru it all. Even though filming
this vid was a pain, it was worth it cause I believe the results speak for themselves."
