Music videos have long been a playground for creativity, a canvas where artists can bring their songs to life through visuals and storytelling. But what can give these videos an extra dose of spice are the unexpected appearances of celebrities from various walks of fame and mediums. From rock legends to Hollywood A-listers, the world of music videos has seen its fair share of star-studded surprises. In this ever-evolving musical landscape, we’re here to shine a spotlight on the top celebrity cameos across rock, punk, pop punk, and indie rock genres.
Natasha Lyonne in 333 for "Against Me"
Kanye West, Selena Gomez and more in Thirty Seconds To Mars’ “City Of Angels”
Zooey Deschanel, The Offspring "She’s Got Issues"
Angelina Jolie in "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through" by Meatloaf

Keanu Reeves in Anthrax’s "Safe Home"
Sydney Sweeney for "Angry" by The Rolling Stones
Hugh Hefner in Weezer's "Beverly Hills"
Ben Stiller in Limp Bizkit's "Rollin"
Arnold Schwarzenegger in Guns ’N’ Roses’ You Could Be Mine
How does the biggest rock’n’roll band on the planet announce its epic twin double album set, “Use Your Illusion I and II”? The Terminator, that how. You Could Be Mine was featured in James Cameron’s mega-hit blockbuster, “Terminator II: Judgment Day.” But picture this: Cyborg Arnie, the ultimate killing machine, stalking the crowd at a Guns N’ Roses gig, on a mission to track down the “World’s Most Dangerous Rock’N’Roll Band” before ultimately delivering the verdict that they’re a “waste of ammo.” lol
Steel Panther, Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval, Alias actor Greg Grunberg, L.A. Guns and Faster Pussycat's Ace Van Johnson, Atreyu's Travis Miguel and Jonah Nimoy for Corey Taylor's "Samantha's Gone"
Christopher Walken in "Weapon of Choice" Fatboy Sllim
Jack Black in "Low" by Foo Fighters
I’ve gotta say this is my all time favourite Jack Black performance. This little video was actually “banned” on MTV back in the day. Now that I’m older I realize this may have very well been a marketing ploy, but damn.. It worked, I bought the DVD and my love for Jack Black, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins was solidified in this video. If you watch no other video on this thread, just watching this one will make it worth it.
Johnny Depp in ""Into The Great Wide Open" by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Finn Wolfhard in "Sleep In The Heat" for Pup the band
Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone in "Crazy" by Aerosmith
Thora Birch and Bill Paxton in Limp Bizkit’s "Eat You Alive"
Jack Black in "I Want You So Hard" by Eagles of Death Metal
Mark Hoppus, Pharrell Williams, Gabe Saporta and Spencer Pratt in "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy
