This one goes out to good pals Mars and Sarca Sim! I know they love the nostalgia of old MuchMusic bumpers. Here’s a collection of them that I assembled into one mega-bumper!
The bumpers are generally somebody saying, “Hi, I’m [insert name] from [insert band], and you’re watching the Power Hour on MuchMusic!” Some flub their lines (Craig Goldy), some put in that extra 10% (Poison) and some do both (Anvil).
It’s either they got only one take, or these are the best ones!
Check out these hilarious rock star ads below, including (in order): Mark Metcalf, Motorhead, Poison, Lita Ford, Anvil, Dio, Rik Emmett, David Coverdale and a couple surprises.

You know, I think I’m the only one left over from the 80s who still wears the fingerless, studded black gloves. Mine are pretty much falling apart now.

Me too since I saw Vince Neil wearing those. Though they looked so cool.

“And I don’t know who you are, pal!” Yeah that’s a good one. Dio always came across cool.

Hahaaa!! I love these! I remember that Power Hour one where Mark Dailey (RIP) says, “And we promise you no George Michael or Rick Astley!” Best part is the guy who throws up the irons and says calmly, “Alright.” I always thought he should have been more enthusiastic, lol.

No kidding! Personally my favourite thing is those Gene Simmons slippers he has on. I think they really make those now!
Mark Dailey…THE voice of Toronto.
