Military Footage
Black and white "street/drama shot" during otherwise color video
Band is suddenly performing in the middle of a forest (doubleshot)
Predatory Animals (Lions, Wolves, Utahraptors) [+2 if animals are representing band members, or if the band appear to be Were-Animals during the video]

Stage Antics:
Shadow pouts that Kip Winger has the best hair EVAR* in the "Seventeen" video
Singer+Lead Guitar+Rhythm swaying together against each other
High Kick/Karate Elements
Jump off the drum riser
Lead singer carries guitar, doesnt play. (or attempts to HELP other band members play their instraments)

Someone in Audience holding a crutch over their head
Spinning Microphone or guitar by cord/straps
Update: If previously mentioned High Kick/Martial arts move is done in slow motion, extra shot, if it includes spandex or crotch shot, finish drink, you poor bastard
Update II Any drinking game players playing with absinthe as their drink of choice may choose half drinks/shots
So, any more ideas?
*2nd only to Michael Sweet from Stryper, c1988 or so.
CURRENT POSSIBLE ADDITIONS**
1) Leather jacket fringe
2) Rehearsal scenes from shitty apartment
(Upon further review .. It has been determined that Heaven, from Warrant, is a 15 drink song by these rules, so just finish your damned drink and go to the kitchen so you don't acrue more when it comes on)
It should also be noted that if we add Fringe, and Rehearsal scenes, it will be a 17 drink song
