Help, can't figure out this song!

Alright, so for years me and my nephew have been trying to recall a song we heard when MTV was actually music. The band is like The Killers/The Who, throughout the song, the band is playing on a hill top, lightning crashes all around them, hitting amps and drums. Does anyone have a clue to this songs name??!?!

Maybe Soundgarden - black hole sun

Hmm. That fits the 80's M.O.
Big hair, explosions and helicopters for no reason flying through a set.

Try Judas Priest " You got another thing coming "
Or
Iron Maiden "run for the hills"

You didn't really specify metal or rock..

Forgot about that one.

Not exactly lightning, but as close as I could come.

Something like Lightning Crashes?

Can you recall any of the lyrics?

that could be any 80's 90 song anything else like a line from the song or even a song it sounds like or could do do a naaa na na daaa kind of thing because so far we dont have much to work on.

Aerosmith - Lightning Strikes

I doubt this is the one you are looking for, but I'll use any excuse to post Linkin Park.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about

One of my favorite bands from the 90's - The Vines with Get Free




In case that doesn't embed (none of my YouTube links ever embed) here is the link... The Vines Get Free

Alright, so for years...

How many years?

Back when MTV only played music videos kinda years?

What genre?...dance music...metal...rock...pop...synth??

The reference to The Who makes me think that this could be the song One Big Holiday by the band My Morning Jacket. It proved impossible to find the official video online, but it was the band playing as silhouettes. There may very well have been lightning, I just can't remember. I could be way off but I had to suggest it! Came out about 10 years ago.

This one maybe?





I see it was already mentioned, good song though.

Wow! A round of applause to all the people who responded! And a star...but not for the OP, who hasn't been back.
Also a thank you for being music appreciators...hehe...we all know what it's like to remember a video, forget the song...etc.
(A special thanks for the Linkin Park video...love them!)

I have no idea which one OP is referring to, but good on you all for coming up with great suggestions...and memories....
That is all. Carry on!
