Still obsessed with this single from Bill Paxton's side band Martini Ranch. This video for "Reach" was directed by James Cameron featuring many cast members from Aliens. His wife Louise Paxton and Kathryn Bigelow also appear.

their song and vid for how can the laboring man is so much better, good cameos also

Why do I feel like this is just his character from Near Dark before he became a vampire?

Still not as good as the video for ‘Fish Heads’. That was Paxton’s peak music video performance.

What a cast! I spotted Judge Reinhold, Bud Cort, Brian Thompson, and Adrian Pasdar too.

Fun fact: I stayed at the Ohai Valley Inn last year, in Ohai California and met Andrew Todd from Martini Ranch where he works on the resort now. He blasted a couple rad Bill P stories at me in the 15 mins I spent with him. I would imagine he is still working there!

Just when I thought I couldn’t like Paxton any more than I already do…

I was today years old when I found out that this even existed. Damn….I miss Bill.

I had that album back in the day. Dayum. Every now and then I remember it and just laugh.

I had a friend that was roommates with Bill in the old days. He had nothing but good things to say about him.

That entire album (called Holy Cow) is actually pretty good -

@SpecterM91 I LOVE this song (and video)

I used to work with Donny Osmond (the nicest dude in the world) and he was telling my how one of his music videos was the first thing Michael Bay Directed. I asked him how many explosions took place in the video and Donny Told me. "The only bomb was the sales of the record."

If I'm not mistaken, bill directed the Barnes and Barnes fishheads music video

what the hell? this is amazing!

I wonder if Paxton was borrowing his costume from Near Dark for this video. XD

@grok ?

I never knew this existed and now I'm looking for the album. @titMcGrit2

We need cocaine back in Hollywood at all levels

@keladeine

I lost all my cool cred since I never even heard of this band.

Funded by Reach Toothbrush Company

Wow now i'am obsessed 😃such a great song

I fucking LOVE this song. I habe no idea how it ended up on my yt algo, but I've been obsessed since.

Side band? WTF is that?

Reach!

This is a certain genre of music; amelodic rambling nonsense that feels like it's an hour long. This song, Sledgehammer, Land of Confusion. What do you call it?

I love thats music video! Look up the extended version

Awesomeness! Never knew he was a music guy. Great actor. In more than one of my top favorites. Seemed like a cool guy. One of the only famous folk deaths that hit me kinda hard. He seemed to be on a major kind of upswing in the roles he got, and I was glad to be seeing it.

I grew up in the 80s, very clearly remember Martini Ranch. How did I have no idea Bill Paxton was involved?

@RRP_NY

Bill in mariachi brown face… classic

He will always be Coconut Pete to me!

Mine's better

I miss him even more.
