Movie Reviews of Manowar: Hell on Earth IV
Movie Review: You will like this DVD even if you don't like metal!
Summary: 5 Stars
Manowar has put out a lot of albums and a lot of DVD's, but you can start with this one and still GET what Manowar is about. Before this DVD, all I knew was "Master of the Wind." I knew nothing about the band -- I didn't even know what they looked like. Now, I'm a fan! One of these days I'll break down and buy a T-shirt.
Manowar music is a mix of heavy Viking metal, metal songs about metal, and the BEST BALLADS IN THE BIZ. Joey DeMaio writes very strong melodies with sword-and-glory lyrics (hey why not), Karl Logan is quite capable on lead guitar, and Eric Adams has a stunning and unexpectedly beautiful voice. If you hate ballads, there is plenty of hard-driving metal. If you hate metal, skip to the ballads. The acoustic set alone is worth the money.
The DVD intersperses the songs with lots footage of the guys on tour, but you can skip over that if you want. The DVD itself is very professionally shot and edited. It's not just straight footage; it has fade-outs and overlaps and split screen at times. All those camera angles truly do justice not just to the band, but to the die-hard fans in the audiences.
Showing the fans is the best part of this DVD. Manowar has been repeatedly mocked for singing about themselves and their fans, but it was the fans that kept them alive, and as a point of honor Manowar never -- ever -- forgets that. I love watching happy fans sporting their T-shirts! I love watching crowds of 15000 - 25000 fans singing along with Eric; you can see them and hear them. That kind of commitment is a sight to behold.
But main thing I want to say is DON'T MISS THE COMMENTARIES!!! This is where the real value is in this DVD. There are hours of commentaries. Unlike other metal bands, these guys are likeable, worldly, and intelligent. I was especially impressed with Karl and Joey.
If you're a Manowar fan, you probably already have this DVD. If you're a metal fan, you probably already either love them or hate them. But if you don't know anything and you're just curious, I highly recommend this DVD. If nothing else, you will at least come to appreciate and/or respect Manowar. If you don't, then there is no hope for you and I give up.
