Movie Reviews of Korn: Live
Movie Review: A worthy DVD, I own it!
Summary: 4 Stars
To the guy who said he wouldnt buy it because it was just like everything else they did, and had all there radio songs: I say thats not totally true, They play a few songs off their new album, do a metallica diddly (which i never heard them do live). There is lots of songs on here, whether you liek their mainstream stuff, or their more obscure stuff, there is something for everyone on here, plenty of live performance, and as close as you can get without actually being there. I didnt give it 5 stars because their newest album is really amazing, and heavy. It would have been nice to see more material from it.Movie Review: Bad night for an amazing band
Summary: 4 Stars
I like to think that i am one of Korn's most divoted fans. Yet on this dvd they probably took Korn's worst live show ever, and worst of all they released it to the public. Jon's voice and Jon physically were not ready for this show. You could tell blantantly on "Thoughtless" and on "Make Me Bad"; however whose ever idea in the band to do "One" was brillant, the way they meshed Make Me Bad, One, and Justin together was just breathtaking almost. I would've liked to see more bonus material, but I guess Deuce has enough of that to go around.Movie Review: Damn Good
Summary: 4 Stars
Fantastic DVD, makes me crave seeing another live Korn performance. Only reason i've not made it a 5 star rating is that i was expecting just a great live show, this DVD has special effects added into the concert which don't get me wrong isn't a bad thing, i just didn't expect it. I would say its another great addition to my Korn collection and its worth having.Movie Review: A little bit disappointed.
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD Korn released was most likely a response to the low sales of Untouchables (their worst album, my opinion). But with that fact aside, let's look at what we have here. Two DVDs, 15 songs, and parts of two other songs as Make me bad is combined with One and Justin (Justin isn't labeled on the back of the case and both are only segments of the whole songs. Korn Should have played One in it's entirety as they were rushed yet again when they first performed it and therefore shortened it from 9 to 5 minutes. Well that's just my opinion, but they do play the best part of the song ("Darkness, imprisoning me, all that I see, Absolute horror!"). There are a few standouts in the concert but there is just something not right. The director cuts and edits like crazy, sometimes finnaly frustrating you so much, you find yourself yelling at the TV. This is evident mostly at the opener Here to Stay. Several times he will cut to something for less then a second, thus you'll find yourself asking yet again "what was the point of that cut?"
Other then the editing job, the song selection is a problem. They only Picked Twist and A.D.I.D.A.S. from Life is Peachy (My favorite Korn album), which disappointed me to no end. Most of their songs are the "light" singles that receive all the airplay, ignoring other classics like Good God, Ball Tongue, Need To, Dead bodies Everywhere, Etc. But Korn's delivery is the top thing here that irritates me. It's actually very boring most of the time. Jon has clearly aged as he hardly moves around on stage at all anymore. I have a film of them playing at Woodstock 99 and Jon is jumping around like crazy, moving all over the stage. Here Jon has clearly lost the energy. I don't blame them, they all have had kids by now and age has taken its toll. This also shows throughout with the other band members as well, but it's most obvious with Jon. As for the extras on disc 2, the alternate version is audio of the concert with just the giant screen that played behind them, showing disturbing pictures and the like. Although interesting at first, one can hardly watch the concert like this all the way through. The only thing worth while is the really, really short behind the scenes documentary. They didn't include any other bonus material, no music videos, no Easter eggs, nothing. Well if you have never seen Korn live before, this makes a great gift, but otherwise, you can skip this, there's nothing special about it, but then again there is nothing terrible either. Hoped this helped.
Movie Review: Good video and sound quality, music quality is subpar
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, the video and sound quality are 5 star worthy. However, the concert is loaded with Issues and Untouchables songs while having only two songs from Korn, Life is Peachy (one being Twist, not really a song...), and Follow the Leader (excluding Justin snippet) and a small guitar clip from Metallica's "One." Excluded are songs such as "Good God," "Clown," "Divine," and "Ball Tongue," songs far better than the trash they included. They include the weakest songs from every album... from Issues, an already weak album, they include "Trash" and "Make Me Bad," the most pathetic Korn songs released. From Follow the Leader, "Freak on a Leash" is included, the weakest song from that album. Maybe if the band had focused on their strong songs instead of their singles and put some older songs instead of songs from the album most bitched about by their fans, this would be a better dvd. But, unless you like Issues, don't bother with this one. Numetal trash at its finest.
