Does anyone else find these Valor videos kinda...well...creepy?

I really like(d) the band, and I have the new reissue of "Fight For Your Life" as well as the Retroactive release from several years ago of it.....but the 2 videos they did for the new reissue creeps me out and here's why.

These are guys in their 50's, lip syncing to songs they sang in when they were teens or early twenties.

I honestly don't think I have ever seen a band do that before (though I am sure someone has).

I really don't know WHY the lip syncing to older stuff creeps me out so much...but it just does..haha

I had no idea about these videos. But maybe since they did not originally make videos the first time around this was their way of doing it. Honestly I am not familiar enough with the group or their songs to notice. I think it would've made more sense to re-record new versions and do videos with new versions or live versions. 

Not creeped out by it but it was nice to see the videos. I'm just not that familiar with Valor.

And it's odd they don't have a link to the CD on the website, that is here: https://valor-bandstore.com/

I think it's pretty cool but I'm getting old too.

Is Valor going to be doing any new music?

The videos look expensive and very well made.

Having said that, I don't think they fit the style or mood of the song very much.

This is one reason I hate music videos.  They distract from the music which is the most important thing.  MTV went off the rails and after a while the videos became more important to selling the music than the songs. 

Regardless, this band is excellent and I really hope they will release more music someday.

I agree, I don't think the videos really fit the song.  
I had seen the 1st video awhile back, and didn't know what to make of it.  
But regardless, it was cool that they did videos at all.

What I find disappointing is that their t-shirts (on their site) only feature their bare logo - they look pretty sparse.   
Few people outside of the West Coast are likely to recognize the logo or know who they are.  

In any case, it's great to have them back in action.

I really need to order this and Paradox. Valor has it for 9.99 on their store. I guess the only difference is it has been remastered and the bass tracks re-recorded.

The videos are definitely well made.

To clarify, I think it would be creepy for any artist to make a video of their 50+ year old self lip-syncing to their 20 year old self like they were actually playing /singing it today...hahahaha. 

Imagine Cyndi Lauper or Toni Brasil making a video lip-syncing their original recordings.....how awkward...

One of the guitar players in Valor (Chris Price) has gotten involved with film making... hence the video's...
