10 Most Expensive Rock Music Videos Of All Time

10. The Rock Show - Blink-182 ($500,000)

For their 2001 single The Rock Show, Blink-182 got given a whole shedload of money to shoot a video, and they decided to have fun with it.

The video opens with the pop punk group cashing in the record company's cheque, before they descend on the city to cause havoc. They start handing out the money to strangers, and throwing it out of their van and off the roof of a building. They pay people to shave their heads, pay a group a strippers to mow a guy's lawn, and pay for a homeless man they find on the street to have a full makeover and get a new wardrobe.

Basically, they spend the money on anything but shooting a proper video.

According to the band themselves, that cheque from the opening clip was for a whopping $500,000. That means that Blink-182 got given half a million dollars and then proceeded to pee it all up the wall.

Yeah, that checks out.

Ultimately, it was money well spent, as the band created some unique and memorable promotion for their song. However, you can see why they were never trusted with this much money ever again.
