As previously reported, Danko recently released the second music video in his nearly completed video trilogy from the album Below The Belt (Bad Taste Records/Caroline). The new highly-stylized, film-like music video noir for the track 'Had Enough' stars Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), comedian Don Jamieson (That Metal Show) and is the prequel to 'Full Of Regret'.
The video also features Frank Drank, best known for his recurring role as a Viking in the current Capital One ad campaign, reprising his role as Lemmy Kilmister's (MOTÖRHEAD) henchman. Check out the video for 'Had Enough' below.
Directed again by the Diamond Brothers and shot completely in New York, 'Had Enough' portrays Macchio as a mad scientist who has found a way to clone himself. The band of Danko Jones is ordered off to deal with it, but their failure at the end of the video is what ultimately leads henchmen Frank and Lemmy to send Elijah Wood and Selma Blair after the band in 'Full Of Regret'.
The previously released 'Full Of Regret' music video has been described as "one-part 'Sabotage', one-part Guy Ritchie, one-part Quentin Tarantino." It stars Elijah Wood and Selma Blair with featured guest appearances by Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead) and Mike Watt (MINUTEMEN, FIREHOSE, STOOGES). Shot in downtown Los Angeles, the video portrays Lemmy as a mob boss who hires hit men Elijah Wood and Selma Blair to take out the members of the band. Mike Watt plays the narrator as the action-packed story continues to unfold. View 'Full Of Regret', also below.
