“Parental Advisory” a.k.a explicit content came in the mid 80s by RIAA which nowadays became a popular term. However, I believe that most of the 70s, 80s and 90s rock and heavy metal songs were actually about sex, drugs and rock n’ roll; which you can see through many bands that had their music videos expressing that in their works such as; Metallica’s Whiskey in the Jar and Scorpions’ Rock You Like A Hurricane. This list is going to focus more on the last decade of music videos. Let’s discover the naked world of rock’n’roll!
Medusa – The Sweetest Elixir
The rock trio from UK released their song ‘The Sweetest Elixir’. The band notified their fans the video as an explicit music video on YouTube.
Slash – World on Fire
Last year, the iconic guitarist released this single from his third self-titled, solo album. The lyric video shows a nude model doing some erotic dancing in the music video.
Few songs by Maroon 5!
Mainly three songs for the band are considered as explicit content, which are: ‘Maps’ and ‘Payphone’ featuring Wiz Khalifa, and the latest ‘This Summer’s Gonna Hurt Like A Motherf****r’.
Tenacious D – Roadie
Jack Black and Kyle Gass released their music video for ‘Roadie’ which was featured in their third album Rize of the Fenix. They start the song by trying to find a roadie-man to help them in their band, but they discover something else in the end. Check it out!
Lenny Kravitz – The Chamber
When you watch other music videos by Lenny you won’t think he’s that kind of a person who’s into erotica! But the director Anthony Mandler and the Dutch model Rianne ten Haken did it damn right!
Most of Steel Panther songs!
It’s not that difficult to know whether the glam metal icons Steel Panther has explicit music videos or not. You can easily find on their channel tons of videos about that, either discussing nudity matters or any else.
The Marilyn Manson debatable world!
We cannot drop this issue without mentioning the most controversial artist in the modern rock history. Most of his works are considered as explicit content, check his latest!
Chris Cornell – Part Of Me (Explicit) ft. Timbaland
Cornell is best known for his work with the grunge rock band Soundgarden and the disbanded supergroup, Audioslave. He released 5 solo albums since 1999 till now. ‘Part of Me’ featured the American rappers Timbaland and Method Man, as well as the boxing champions Wladimir Klitschko and Wu-Tang Clan.
