Movie Review: This Disasterpiece Is Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
Slipknot is definitely one of those bands that in all honesty is best seen as well as heard. If you find yourself simply listening to the CD and have no idea what the band image is all about you might not capture the point. Quite honestly I was not a big fan of their music at first since I lean more towards the traditional genre. Yet when I saw this concert DVD I knew that this was a band that I had to see in person. This double DVD Set delivers all of the intensity and antics that you can enjoy outside of the pit and in your own home. There are some unique camera angles done as well as some footage being shot from inside the masks of the Slipknot members. The show was filmed with 30 cameras at the London Arena to a sold out crowd. To define a Slipknot show as live chaos would be an understatement but I think it comes very close to that for when they hit the stage it is explosive. The eight member group are all over the place from the start and I honestly cant imagine how a band like this rehearses and gets the show down to a science. They just simply do it and feed off the audience. Singer Corey directs the swelling crowd who hang on his commands while the maniacal Sid works his magic on the DJ Tables. Ordinarily I find all these bands with DJ's to be unnecessary yet Slipknot show you that it can work in some context. There is a very interesting solo by Sid which is as non-conventional as the band themselves. The sound quality and visuals remain at a constant throughout the whole DVD. It is actually difficult at times to follow what is going on, since so much is happening at the same time.
Another interesting solo to experience is the drumming power of Joey Jordison. His technique and stamina are to be commended as with lightning speed he executes a drum solo that expands upon the stage antics first started by Tommy Lee (Motley Crue). The DVD Set also includes the bands videos that were released up to this time and features a large amount of backstage and rehearsal footage. As the group wears masks on stage, any images of them without them are blurred to protect their identities. This DVD is affordable and comes in a nice slim case. It's a high recommendation for the diehard fan as well as the curious and unaware. It is a DVD that will not leave you the same as when you began. Don't be "Left Behind" from witnessing this "Disasterpiece".
Movie Review: Best live band dvd ever
Summary: 5 Stars
i buy a lot of live band DVD's and this one is without a doubt the best one. not only does the band put one hell of a performance, but the audio and video is INCREDIBLE. there's also a lot of behind the scenes, music videos and a really cool thing where you can watch 2 of the songs and chose one of the 9 members to watch during the song. great if you're a musician like me and want to watch the different things each member is doing. now for a full review of the concert....
People=(...) 5/5, great opener, very energetic
Liberate- 5/5, the crowd got jumpin for this song. really awesome.
Left Behind- 5/5, incredible, Sid stage-dove from a 10 foot speaker into the crowd!
Eeyore- 4/5, it's heavy as Corey promised but still not one of my favorites, i usually skip it.
Disasterpeice- 5/5, great performance but it's just not one of my favorite songs.
Purity- 7/5, my favorite. the song f'in rocks and its identical to the studio version. awesome!
Gently- 4/5, worst song on the dvd but still good.
Eyeless- 5/5, nice and heavy another one of my favorites.
*Joey's Drum solo- 6/5, incredible, me being a drummer, i can appreciate that Joey is doing some pretty crazy double bass stuff while facing the ground at a 90 degree angle.
My Plague- 5/5, another one of my favorites, again identical to the studio verison.
New Abortion- 5/5, very energetic song, great performance.
The Heretic Anthem- 6/5, electrifying, pyro everywhere, crowd going nuts, just awesome.
Spit it Out- 7/5, again spectacular. during the breakdown, Corey gets the entire pit to sit down then after the build-up he yells "Jump Da F*ck up!" and the whole pit stood up and went crazy. best performance on the whole dvd.
Wait and Bleed- 5/5 one of my favorite songs from slipknot done perfectly with energy.
(sic)- 5/5- wow crazy is all i think of.
Surfacing- 5/5, perfect ending on the perfect performance.
so the best performances in my opinion were Purity, The Heretic Anthem, Spit it Out, (sic), Eyeless, and My Plague. best band DVD ever, buy it NOW!
WHAT ARE YA WAITING FOR! I SAID GO GET IT!
Movie Review: Simply Stunning
Summary: 5 Stars
Now, I've seen my share of concerts... But no band can grasp, let alone match, the work and thought that goes into the sets and performances of Slipknot. Sometimes you see a concert where the band comes out, plays their piece, and leaves thousands of dollars richer. You can tell that what we have here is a band that seeks to please its maggots.
First, I must say the set was phenomenal... The band sort of captured their essence and strew it across the London stadium. All of the set is there for a reason, even if it be Sid's frequent little escapades, where he feels it necessary to leave his jockeying post and roam throughout the scaffolding and propsets...
The camera angles are everything you want them to be... With an added feature. This DVD actually allows you to see the concert through a band member of your choice's point of view, making the experience all the more interesting with every viewing.
The music... What to say about the music? It's Slipknot, people; you should know what to expect. The tracks blend the most precisely-timed and intricately-worked drumming and most intentionally diabolical guitar riffs to create a beautifully working piece of art. Included in the live performance are various rare tracks, including "Purity" and "Eeyore", both previously available only on the Digipak issue of Slipknot's self-titled album.
This is one of the few DVD's I have seen to date that actually include an interesting bonus disc... On disc two, there is minimal live footage (what is there is various clips from concerts displayed as videos), but the DVD makes up for what it lacks in quality. Never before could you find the animated "Wait and Bleed" video, let alone that for the Terry Date mix. This disc includes many other videos from the pre-"Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses" era, including "Left Behind". Also included is the studio recording and solely audio "Purity".
Overall, this DVD completely broke the barriers of expectation with the sheer amount of work put into a live performance... Simply stunning.
Movie Review: F'N AMAZING
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the GREATEST live show i have ever seen, and i have seen 47 live shows by 21 bands, and 6 of those have been SLIPKNOT but non of those shows even came close to this. Here are my reviews of the songs:
1. People=S**t. 5/5 Great energy out of every memeber of the band, and a great way to kick off the show.
2. Liberate. 5/5 Another amazing performance, sounded better live than the studio version.
3. Left Behind. 5/5 A little bit of a slower song but that didnt mean that it took away from the bands energy.
4. EEYORE. 3/5 Not one of my personal favourites but the band did look like they were enjoying themselves.
5. Disasterpiece. 5/5 One of the best performances of the night, a very fast song that kicks a$$ the whole way through and SLIPKNOT showed that well with there performance.
6. Purity. 5/5 This sounded incredible
Sids solo. 2/5 I am not a dj so i am not really sure how to feel
about this, it can get old fast
7. Gently. 1/5 The worst performance of the show, coreys vocals didnt sound to good on this one.
Joey's solo. 5/5 Being a drummer i can really respect Joey for what he did on this, he had some cool sounding double bass things in there. you have to see this to believe it.
8. Eyeless. 2/5 Never was that great of a song.
9. My Plague. 4/5 If you were to listen to this and not watch it you would think it was the album you were listening to.
10. New Abortion. 4/5 Nice little talk before the song.
11. THE HERETIC ANTHEM. 10/5 The best performance of the night, there was pyro everywhere, the whole stage was on fire.
12. Spit it out. 5/5 Amazing.
13. Wait and bleed. 4/5 a nice little song, corey sounded amazing.
14. (sic). 2/5 meh.
15. Surfacing. 6/5 Micks little solo that he does before the song sounded better than on the album, an amazing way to end the show.
Movie Review: Liberate the Madness
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been waiting for quite some time for a new Slipknot DVD to come out, and I was hoping it would be one that would show one of their live performances. Well, that day has come. Slipknot's "Disasterpieces" is for anybody who is a fan of Slipknot.This live performance is more than satisfactory. The video and sound quality is really superb. It's almost like you're there live. The concert took place at the London Arena, which shows us just how crazy a London crowd can be at one of these shows. Along with seeing them perform their songs, you get to see the band prepare for the show as well. They play a lot of songs from the second album, as well as with the first one. Some of them you can count on seeing are "disasterpiece," "wait and bleed," "(sic)," "purity," "left behind," "my plague," and many, many more.
This 2 disk collection also features all of the band's videos, including a rare animated version of "wait and bleed," the bonus audio track "purity," and more.
They're a group either people love or hate, which is fine. They're not for everyone. They take their music to the extreme, always willing to take it to the limit. Some may consider their lyrics brutal and violent, but that's not Slipknot's message. Yes, believe it or not, they do have a message. And it's not "f- the world" or "everyone is garbage." Their message is that it's okay to have negative thoughts, just as long as you deal with them the right way. They deal with their demons through music. Slipknot's "Disasterpieces" is a must-have for any Slipknot fan.
