I have a theory that Mandalore edited this video. He talks on a podcast about how he edited a different music video (sadly, that one got taken down). I think that was one of his jobs, and since he mentions this out of nowhere, this could easily be his.
So let me get this straight.....This guy hits on a girl then gets transported to ancient Egypt after getting hit by a car, then gets transported to a world of vampires, then he just walks around till the end.....10/10 THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!
Well I think the story is that this guy is an ex lover of that girl and they broke up he sees her and tries to get back together, her current boyfriend starts fighting him and then he gets runs over and dies. He is then seen on the river of souls that leads dead to the Egyptian afterlife, the girl becomes Isis, wife of Osiris (god of the afterlife in Egyptian mythology) and leads him to Anubis the Egyptian god of death and mummification to stand trial for his soul. But Anubis sends him away to vampire world for some reason, I guess this signifies remorse about past misdeeds (maybe how he messed up his relationship?) and he is then tormented by the vampires and his regrets and afterwards wanders the world as a spirit unable to find rest.
@JoeTAC I think you’re right except one thing: he wasn’t punished or a lost soul because of his regret or sins, but rather because his atrocious rhythm.
@@Soniphex I'd say he's pretty creative. The song transitions are pretty good and overall it's enjoyable and catchy yet campy. The off-time percussion and synth noises cluttering the mix are grating though.
He's a vampire, you dipshit. He only drink's blood and the hunger is always gonna be there for all eternity unless he can manage to control it. Stop commenting like a little prick. I wish you crossed paths with a real one and told him you're comment. He'll probably eat u behind the restaurant and leave u dryer than the savannah dessert.
We have a newer music video from his second album, Guardian 2: Eyes of Fire, called The Terrorist. Poor guy gets blown up when Los Angeles is nuked by North Korea here: ruclips.net/video/RawcRoCDDRc/видео.html
Oh my god this is such a brilliant music video. I love the music, the singing, the lyrics, the video. I don't understand how anyone can hate this. This is literally art in every possible meaning of the world. I love it so much. It gives off such awesome early 2000's vibes. The kind of stuff built a generation of artists and dreamers. Thank you for making and uploading it.
@@AstariaFilms My interpretation of this music video is as follows: Joshua is an ex lover of Cristine and they broke up. He sees her and tries to get back together, but she rejects him and her current boyfriend starts fighting him. Afterwards he gets runs over and dies. He is then seen on the river of souls that leads dead to the Egyptian afterlife, the girl becomes Isis, wife of Osiris (god of the afterlife in Egyptian mythology) and leads him to Anubis the Egyptian god of death and mummification to stand trial for his soul. But Anubis sends him away to vampire world for some reason, I guess this signifies remorse about past misdeeds (maybe how he messed up his relationship?) and he is then tormented by the vampires and his regrets (I suppose this relates to the 'hunger' to fill the void left by the ending of the relationship?) Afterwards wanders the world as a spirit unable to find rest. I think it has themes of regret, acceptance and moving on using classic Egyptian symbols. Also you mentioned multiple times that Cristine in the modern world and as Isis has clothing articles from both time periods, which to me, also signifies being hung up on the past and looking forwards to the future respectively. Even if it's not true, I feel it's a valid interpretation. Hope I'm not reading too deep into it!
@@AstariaFilms So I've watched it again and played close attention to the credits this time and noticed Cristina is named as "Muse \ Egyptian Queen" and the rival boyfriend as wealthy financier and a whole new level of this video hit me as commentary on the music industry. A musician who has lost his muse, or rather had his muse stolen from him by wealthy financiers (record companies?) who then metaphorically throw him under the bus. The vampires can then represent bloodsucking producers preying on struggling artists. There's a lot packed into this and I'm loving the layers I'm finding here. What I'm really interested in knowing is the significance of the Dark Angel character, who seems to consistently appear in almost all of the scenes.
2000s? lol. i don't know what 2000s you lived through, but this SCREAMS 80s. i'm not saying it's bad or whatever. i'm just saying, listen to those toms for christ sake lol.
I know that the lyrics and their... presentation... makes an impression. But for me the true audio experience here is the decision to have the entire melody comprised of random electronic noises that occasionally breaks into "Vaguely Implying Egypt." Of course, nothing needs to be said about a video depicting a creep getting isekaied into the Shadow Realm, being yeeted into The Buffy We Have At Home, and returning with magic powers(?) to... continue being a creep. This is sincerely a masterwork of (unintentional?) comedy and I will remember it for years to come.
Off topic but years ago in a mega Halloween store I saw a costume that said "Cleopatra, Queen of Denial" printed right on the front of that bastard. Too funny, I wish I took a picture of it!
This video. Might not be the highest budget, may not be a top 40 hit. But dang, you have a finished project, while so many other people talk shit. Credit where credit is due. Inspiring.
I have been listening to this song on and off with friends for years now and its become a staple of our lives. We all know the lyrics and love it like an ole timey shanty song
This is most likely a reference to the movie City of Angels with Nic Cage and Meg Ryan. Originally in German, Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire), directed by Wim Wenders.
This is a cautionary tale for when that zupa and breadsticks be calling and you try that new brunch place that opened up where that new brunch place used to be. Olive Garden has been in the same building since 1983. Name one brunch place that treats you like family...one.
You know in the movie Kids, when they go into the subway, just before the 'I have no legs' song? There's a scene of an old man playing an accordion and singing, with a lady beside him, super grooving on his old man song skills. There's also a teenage boy doing this weird, sweaty, hippity-hopping dance.... I guess to class it up, or make people feel extra cringe-y so they donate more money? Anyway, the guy "singing" and "acting" in this video looks like a grown up version of that kid, in a really awesome matrix coat. Half of me wants to find this guy and enthusiastically high five him, and the other half wants to tell him it's OK, and hug him while we both sob uncontrollably.
I remember watching this shit a decade ago when I was in middle school, and for some reason I woke up with it stuck in my head. I spent an hour looking for it as "the hunter" and couldn't find it so I figured it vanished from the internet along with the myspace I found it on. Just out of the shower I thought "man I'm starving" and it dawned on me that it was, in fact, "the hunger". I'm 25 now. This maybe a shitty song but he did SOMETHING right. Really weird.
@@sooto3397 I thought it was called the hunter too... now I feel better. I was only able to find it from a few lyrics in a mandalore video years later 🤣
Saw this on a G4 programme back in the day in the worst music video ever slot but fell in love with it and have purchased nearly every album by him. If you like 80s gothpopnewwave then Joshua Michael is fucking key…especially Guardian 1 and Guardian 2

@JoeTAC
I think you’re right except one thing: he wasn’t punished or a lost soul because of his regret or sins, but rather because his atrocious rhythm.
This originally dropped in 2007?! I for sure would have thought it was ten years earlier.
I have no idea how programmed drums can be so off-time
He added way too much swing that's how. He has a good voice and it went to waste because his creativity is traaaash
I think it was punched in manually on pads or an electric kit, which is why the meter is so bad.
unbridledenthusiasm clearly you have not stared into the eyes of the wolf.
@@Soniphex I'd say he's pretty creative. The song transitions are pretty good and overall it's enjoyable and catchy yet campy. The off-time percussion and synth noises cluttering the mix are grating though.
@@Soniphex Yeah, the drums have a heavy swing feel and my man's singing the song in straight time like a mad lad.
0:45 - "The hunger is never ending...". Dude, you're sat in a restaurant, EAT SOMETHING.
He's a vampire, you dipshit. He only drink's blood and the hunger is always gonna be there for all eternity unless he can manage to control it. Stop commenting like a little prick. I wish you crossed paths with a real one and told him you're comment. He'll probably eat u behind the restaurant and leave u dryer than the savannah dessert.

@@AstariaFilms Wow, thanks!
Me: "What's the BPM for this song?"
The Hunger: "Yes."
I'm laughing 9 years later
😂
I have no idea how this song feels fast and slow at the same time. It's not even medium it just feels both fast and in slow-mo simultaneously.
We ain't ready for these sliding tempos and music videos too far ahead
bro just needed to hit that “quantize” button
My life has been changed today. Thank you, Mandalore, for this eldritch gift.
Yep, his Thief 3 review sent me here as well…
Hello
Those you say God does not exist obviously have not seen this video.
Damn it took me awhile to find this gem of a video, thanks Mandy

Oh hi Mark.
It's like someone filmed the most high budget Vampire LARP.
😂😂😂
This video inspired me to follow my dreams because you never know when The Hunger will strike.
Love you guys
Still happily returning to this vid after all these years. The hunger never dies
Every so often I remember it exists again and get excited lol
It’s never ending
Finding out that the singer is not the director, meaning this isn't a vanity project, is the most shocking thing to me about this video
aw man. that kinda ruins it for me

Any plans for a remaster? I'd love to see the classic Anubis bitch slap in 4K.

I lost it when he was floating down The Nile. Da Nile. Denial.
He was denying the Hunger!!!
Off topic but years ago in a mega Halloween store I saw a costume that said "Cleopatra, Queen of Denial" printed right on the front of that bastard. Too funny, I wish I took a picture of it!
A mixture of Depeche Mode, Tay Zonday, and Tommy Wiseau.
This video. Might not be the highest budget, may not be a top 40 hit. But dang, you have a finished project, while so many other people talk shit. Credit where credit is due. Inspiring.
After watching this about a hundred times I've come to the same conclusion. It would honestly be even better if the damn percussion was in-time
It's like Depeche Mode, but with less chromosomes.
You mean more chromosomes, moron.
this comment made 3 grown men cry. bravo
lol
Fewer chromosomes.
Actually, I think it has a few too many of them.
Many people try to do something good and it gets bad, but when they try to do something bad and it gets good, it's wonderful!
Props for this guy doing his vision and sharing it. I admire that
i lost it at the 3d anubis
I’ve had this song stuck in my head and I’m not sure I want it to leave.
The Hunger never dies
Yo this is my new "play whenever im even slightly intoxicated" song!!!
“You’re tearing me apart the Hunger!!”
Lol it gets worse ruclips.net/video/ApWwLwDKqlA/видео.htmlsi=3cPmPUIQCZBpg5s9
“Oh hi Anubis”
The new remake of The Crow looks great
Take my like 😭
I went out of my way to find this after watching Mandalore's Thief 3 video. TOTALLY WORTH IT MY FUCKNNNN SIDES JJKDJKJSHDSJJ:AD
Same
It's been 13 years and my hunger still isn't filled.
I want to hear this guy do some Type O Negative covers. So much amazingness in one video.
Oh man could you imagine Wolf Moon, Love You to Death?
Wish Peter was alive to cover this
Dude brought a camcorder to the Vampire the Masquerade LARP and never got invited back.
Ok it took some times to find this from the Mandy's video, and I got exactly what I expected.
Whenever I'm having a bad day I just put this video on and suddenly my problems disappear.
Man early youtube really was just an absolute creative explosion
I have been listening to this song on and off with friends for years now and its become a staple of our lives. We all know the lyrics and love it like an ole timey shanty song
Quite possibly the best video I have ever seen i my forty one years of life, them salts is goood I tell ya
the girls fine as fuck, but also, i don't think i've ever heard a drum machine lose tempo
This has given me so much entertainment value.
Once a year I must revisit the hunger.
Baby is hauling a massive DUMPER in ancient Egypt.
Poop dumper.
I actually don't hate this song
That means you have an eye for talent
Who doesnt
why did his soul have a black leather jacket if his body didn't?
This is most likely a reference to the movie City of Angels with Nic Cage and Meg Ryan. Originally in German, Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of Desire), directed by Wim Wenders.
he's a dark guy
@@SutekhChroma for you
He has SOUL PAIN, and the edgy jacket reflects that.
@@T-roccBABY Wearing the jacket was part of the plan
Completely fucking inspirational.
help I keep waking up with this song in my head
Depeche mode were never the same after this dropped.
The credits were totally necessary... surely someone will want to seek out and invest in this amazing talent.
I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.
A simple wrong would have done just fine..
"My wife the tramp.."
If the people that made this read this comment I just want you to know this amazing work you've created will be a future anti depressant for me.
This video is pure gold. It's got that 80s vibe to it which I think is cool.
When I saw the papyrus I knew we were fucked.

You know, despite the cheesy video, music, and lyrics, this is incredibly catchy.
This is beyond "High concept" this is a whole opera level Epic
This is some Tommy wisieu level shit right here.
Truly The Room of music videos.
This song came into my head the other day, I'm so glad I found it again 😂 needs to go viral 2022
This music video has totally changed my life.
When your mom says "We have Dead Can Dance at home"
The best part is that you know this guy thought he looked badass in this lmao. Delusional artists are my fav
he does look badass in this though
I love listening to this while reading, appreciate it alot!
Someone feed this man.
