Roxwel.com gets the artists' perspective on the making of their latest music videos, song and album concepts, touring and everything in between. The Artist Commentary series allows viewers to get a more intimate look at their favorite musicians, and it's also an outlet for artists to explain how that screwball video or off-the-charts album came to be. These details, coupled with picture-in-picture video or live performance outtakes, really exhibit how concepts become finished products.
