I’ll admit it: Even now that I’ve seen the video for Brad Paisley’s "Start a Band," featuring Keith Urban, like 20 times, I watch it and still only think about how hot they look playing each other’s guitars. That’s at 4:47 in the video below. At 5:01, Urban blows in Paisley’s ear, which, I believe, confirms that I’m not the only one sensing some homoeroticism in the moment. Presumably, men do know that playing six-strings side-by-side is sexy — ditto sharing a mic. I’m a big fan of when Duran Duran’s John Taylor and Simon LeBon do the latter. What are your favorite homoerotic musical pairings (and moments)?

I dont get what the surprise is. was there anyone who thought these two were not gay?
…I don’t think they’re gay; I wouldn’t care if they were; they are very very hot!…
I’d put this one in the “I don’t need to say everything I think out loud” category.
Rock stars are allowed to be a little experimental and wild. They’re both the best thing in country music and SO HOT!
I actually can’t think of one….I’m not the biggest fan of country although some of the guys are on the scorching side of hot.
I’m with you – Simon Le Bon and John Taylor sharing a mic is a lot of hotness. Though I think this is a better example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvMUb4u2QIE
dear mandi,
WTF?…i’m with the keep it to yourself. there’s “look how clever i am” and then there’s just plain old being insulting.
I don’t think Mandi’s saying they’re gay — just that the performance has homoerotic overtones. Lots of music performances do. That said, Urban Paisley does sound like a perfect name for a chic design store in the gayborhood.
This music video IS gay, but it’s not homoerotic.
That was great – thanks for posting it! They looked like they were having so much fun! (Of course, BP always seems to have fun in his videos – see “Online” – Funniest. Video. Ever.)

As to favorite pairings – Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi. Always fun to watch perform together.
My favorite “homoerotic musical pairing” is that of David Cook and his guitarist, Neal Tiemann. Not only are both guys ridiculously hot (like, try-not-to-drool-on-yourself hot) but they then go and do this to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB50exrRIVo&feature=related Scroll in to the 4-minute mark where uber-hotness awaits. David and the Dr.= Yummy…
Pete and Carl of the Libertines, I wish your homoerotic pairing had lasted longer. It were so hot.
What a great way to start my day *swoon*
Mine is when Bono is practically screaming the lyrics into The Edge’s ear in the video for “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
