| Dvd's That Changed My Opinion Of A Band
Here's a look at some musical DVD's i've seen that rhave rchanged my perspective on different bands. reither in a good rway or a bad way. | | 1 | Coheed and Cambria - Neverender
Neverender. Never did I think i'd enjoy this DVD, previously dismissing Coheed
and Cambria as some lame Mars Volta ripoff. Not now. One minute into The Willing
Well iv I
was hooked. And it just got better, Chris Pennie's drum solo, Travis's talkbox
solo,
the crowd, the setlist. Just a wicked DVD. | | 2 | Sigur Ros - Heima
I was just growing out of a punk and metal phase when I first heard Sigur Ros
and
didn't know what to think. So I dismissed it as some weird alien shit, like
Bjork and
E.T. Then fast forward a year and I saw Heima on TV and was blown away.
Everything made sense..the music, the natural beauty, the band themselves ET,
Paul,
Roger and Alf ;) | | 3 | Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
The difference between this and the Arriving Somewhere DVD is like chalk and
cheese.
The editing on the the Arriving somewhere DVD was so bad, it put me off the band
big
time. So what made me take a leap of faith and buy Anesthetize? I can't rightly
say,
but im glad I did. One of the most engaging DVD's i've seen, setlist is amazing
but no
Chloroform!? no Porcupine Tree DVD is ever going to be complete without that
song | | 4 | Guns N Roses - Live
Any time I want to remind myself why this band sucks, I remember this steaming
pile.
I was never a big fan, but admittedly I did like Slash as a guitarist. Then Axl
Rose
opened his mouth.. | | 5 | Pain of Salvation - BE
My hopes for POS playing a standard live show were blown apart by this
pretensious,
if albeit accurate live show which is as polarizing as the album. But i'm a big
fan of
their previous four albums. | | 6 | Meshuggah - Alive
Simply, my respect for Meshuggah went up several notches after seeing this live
DVD.
I mean, I was probably a casual fan of the band before, but after seeing this I
was
absolutely blown away, and converted. | | 7 | Pink Floyd - PULSE
Being too young to having grown up in the Floyd era, my love for Pink Floyd
extended
about as far as three songs. I found the music distant, and very hard to put a
picture
in my head to. After seeing Pulse, especially Comfortably Numb, it all clicked
for me. | | 8 | It Might Get Loud
Ok so not a live DVD per se, but a live documentary following 3 musicians - the
immortal Jimmy Page, ummmm, ahem, the Edge from U2 and ummmmm Jack White?
Sorry, who? Where the fuck is David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Ritchie Blackmore,
Tommy Iiomi? Why is Jimmy Page jamming with these guys? Granted, Jack White is
carving his own niche. But The
Edge?? | | 9 | Depeche Mode - Touring the Angel
Funnily enough my first memory of Depeche Mode was through hearing Marilyn
Manson's cover of Personal Jesus. I listened to the original Depeche Mode
version, and I hated it. I
was so dissapointed. Then I saw Enjoy the Silence on this DVD and my perspective
changed
forever. Violator is one of my top 5 albums. | | 10 | The Gathering - A sound Relief
A personal favourite of mine and I own a few. And it all came
about
by accident. I actually ordered an Evergrey DVD on ebay and this one got shipped
instead. I decided to put it on before I sent it back, but by the time I got to
the song
Travel i was always keeping this. | |

07.08.12 | I'd say fair comment but there was absolutely little if no chemistry between the three musicians on that dvd. it was so awkward because jimmy was, as you rightly said opened himself up and showed no sign of pretense. but the edge was so boring and jack white barely said a word. Lol even Bill Bailey took the piss out of the edge | unretrovertigofied
07.08.12 | All I'm saying is that Jimmy page was the only guy trying his hardest to inject some life into it. He deserved better. | Da11thMytrillSphere
07.08.12 | I actually own 4 and 7, I enjoy Axl Rose voice but I can understand why some people could find that as an annoying voice. | KILL
07.08.12 | arriving somewhere>anethsythhg just cos the setlist is way better | unretrovertigofied
07.08.12 | Agreed the setlist on arriving somewhere is better but the editing is so bad it leaves nothing but a sour taste. | unretrovertigofied
07.08.12 | How good is the song chloroform though, I'd give my left nut to see that song live | cutoffs
07.08.12 | 7 fuckin sucks actually this whole list sucks | Dolving999
07.08.12 | You guys... You need to see Parkway Drive's "The DVD". I don't even like their music ( kinda bland metalcore really) but their chemistry is awesome, I wish I could join them on the road. | cutoffs
07.08.12 | fuckheaded faggot | JohnnyoftheWell

07.08.12 | Fuck 8.
And lol @ rec'ing Parkway Drive. | cisumkintups
07.09.12 | Parkway Drive's DVD is surprisingly interesting and very inspiring. | newjunkaesthetic93
07.09.12 | As far as "It Might Get Loud" I thought the Edge seemed kinda awkward/outta place. Page and White was an interesting combo though. Jimmy's obviously a legend and much more important guitarist, but Jack has a similar style as far as blues based rock riffs. I loved the scene when Jimmy starts playing the riff from Whole Lotta Love and Jack is just sitting there staring at him looking like "Holy Shit! Jimmy Page is standing three feet away from me playing Whole Lotta Love!". I enjoyed the film. |
