1. Warmer Than Fire - Directed by Darren Tiernan

Tim's cousin made this low budget video with us (for the then download only single) while we recorded the album near Puerto Banus, Spain. Shot at El Cortijo studios and other local locations like our favorite Devils Bar. Tim looks like he means business on a moped, We all jump in the pool and then burn an old piano. Awesome times! This song was written by our friend Steve Ludwin who gave it to us when his then band Carrie split up. RIP Zak.

2. Shining Light - Directed by Darren Tiernan

Tim went through David Blaine style torture as he was submerged for the guts of a day in this water tank. He encounters some form of mermaid and dodges a falling anchor as he swims up from the dark abyss towards a bright, shining light. As if in a coma he reaches the surface to awake in a hospital bed, while the rest of Ash look on wondering why they were called at 5am for this video shoot! Anyone who saw James Blunt on the Brit Awards 2006 might have noticed some striking similarities.

3. Shining Light: The CGI version - Directed by Darren Tiernan (Coming soon)

Ok, this version was never seen on TV for a reason. Originally we had a CGI submarine and shark in the video. Tim passes them on his accent to the surface but they sucked so bad we had them cut. Moral of the story? Cheap ass special effects aren't worth the peanuts!

4. Burn Baby Burn - Directed by Jeff Thomas

This is the first promo video we made with our now good friend Jeff Thomas. Shot in a Croydon high school gymnasium it features a troop of cheerleaders and The London Towers basketball team. High action performance, excellently cut with acrobatic cheerleaders, plenty of white panty shots and dribbling basketballers = hit video and high rotation. Hot!

5. Sometimes - Directed by Jeff Thomas

Filmed in Cuba, and with a 'nice piece' of casting! This video shows Tim performing alone with an acoustic as we watch his (video) relationship split. The other Ash members spend the video driving around and looking for him in barber shops and gas stations. Of course they find him and everything's ok, thank God! Tim narrowly avoided actual injury when the roof of the bedroom location fell in during the shoot! Smokin'!

6. Candy - Directed by Jeff Thomas

Shot with a host of look-a-likes, Ash perform as a wedding band. Tim catches the eye of a beautiful but clumsy waitress (I guess she's Candy?) who then wets herself... just watch it, It's great. There's plenty of comedy moments in this clip, especially when Rick's drum stick defies the laws of physics!

7. There's A Star - Directed by Jake and Jim

Set against the bleak, volcanic black sand beaches on Iceland, Ash perform and Tim goes on a quest for his Flying V. Will he find it in time for the epic solo? There was supposed to be more to this video but it didn't quite work out. Read more below!

8. There's A Star: The Ice Jawas version - Directed by Jake and Jim (Coming soon)

Full story to come, it's worth the wait!

9. The FAA world tour short movies - Self made tour antics

Episode One: Road Trip - Tim, Mark and Tav (Manager) take a road trip from New Orleans to Vegas. Originally released on the, 'Burn Baby Burn' DVD single.

Episode Two: Back From The Edge - Ash and Steve Ludwin's Little Hell take to the road on the pre-FAA small venues tour. Long serving Ash guitar tech Leif Bodnarchuk provides ample comic relief. Not for the faint hearted! Originally released on the, 'Sometimes' DVD single.

Episode Three: No. 1 (We're Sorry Miss Jackson) - Ash party as FAA goes to No. 1, show their true colors at G.A.Y. and the European tour kicks off! Originally released on the, 'Candy' DVD single.

Episode Four: Ash Go Global - After shooting the, 'Sometimes' video in Cuba the tour continues to Thailand, Indonesia and Australia. Surfing, Karting and James Nesbitt in mosh pit action! Originally released on the, 'There's A Star' DVD single.

Episode Five: Return To The Edge - The gang head to Japan, find out ducky's all grown up and that the future is indeed pixilated! Originally released on the, 'Tokyo Blitz' Live DVD.

10. Slashed - Mis-directed by Alexander Marks (Coming unknown)

Some of you may have heard of this before. This unfinished masterpiece/disaster of a slasher was the brain child of former Ash Board supremo Jed Shepherd, now kingpin at AudioJunkies. About two thirds of the movie was shot on Ash's 2002 US tour. Never yet seen and shrouded in secrecy or perhaps regret, you may still get to see what all the fuss was about. Stars Coldplay, Dave Grohl, Moby, James Nesbitt, Ben Kweller, Matt Sharpe and Ash.

1. Envy - Directed by Piper Ferguson.

Ash perform on top of a Hollywood highrise and take some wild L.A. cabs rides with Andy Dick. More look-a-likes in this video with tounge in cheek references to The White Stripes and our pals The Hives. The record company were originally scared by the gay kissing and wanted an edit. We stuck to our guns and MTV had this in high rotation for some time! A small victory.

2. ISS Television Advert - (Coming soon)

Stars our homeboy James Nesbitt who prances around in the nude to his favorite band. James waived any payment for this commercial and his usual fee was donated to charity.

3. Love & Destruction - Directed by Rojo (2003)

This is one crazy fucked up short film we made with Dark Fibre Productions and french directors Rojo for Channel 4 (UK). Dark? Arty? Insightful? Pretentious? Genius? Dog dirt? I guess you can make up your own decision. Running time: 25 mins.
