10 Music Videos That Were Actually Made By Famous Directors

7. Michael Bay - I'd Do Anything For Love (Meat Loaf)

You either love him or you hate him. Throughout his career, Michael Bay's films have divided audiences; some celebrate his mindless spectacle as superb entertainment, while others lament his all-style-no-substance approach as the harbinger of the death of cinema. Regardless of opinion, it can't be denied Bay has seen considerable financial success. Bay's films are known for their explosive action and scantily-clad women. It's no surprise, then, that his music videos contain the same. Having directed videos for the likes of Vanilla Ice, Tina Turner, Lionel Richie and Aerosmith, Bay's most iconic video is arguably for I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) by American rocker Meat Loaf, which features the singer decked out in monstrous prosthetics alongside a harem of beautiful women. The story is a Beauty And The Beast tale of isolation and desire, and features Bay's trademark high stakes action as police close in around Meat Loaf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X_ViIPA-Gc
