Reopened. Silver Dragoon was only recently banned if you look through the latest posts in his bio. As for the "Banned members don't need topics" thing, Dave probably locked it because he was trying to whore attention or whatever. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with topics like these that were started by a member who is now banned.
Getting back on topic, my five favorite videos would probably be:
Three Days Grace ~ Never Too Late
Linkin Park ~ Numb
DragonForce ~ Operation Ground and Pound
Linkin Park ~ What I've Done
Serj Tankian ~ Empty Walls
...off the tip of my mind.
