Rust

A fun thing to do when watching performance videos from aging rock bands is to note all the excuses they give themselves via set design or choreography to sit down for a bit. So far my favorite is Judas Priest's live video from the mid-80s where a whole giant killer robot rises up out of the backdrop for apparently no other reason than to grab lead singer Rob for a song.

He's not forty-something, he's in vile robot clutches! What can he do? That he can still manage to belt out "Electric Eye" while having the life squeezed out of him by future technology gone amok and trying to eat him should be heroic enough for you!
