Slipknot: (sic)nesses

First, let me say that I am not going to really talk about the bonus disk. As far as I'm concered, only the live concert footage is important, and that is what you are paying your $20 for.With that being said, this DVD is incredible! In front of 80,000 fans, Slipknot - the worlds greatest metal band, at the peak of their career so far - play the best songs from all four of the studio albums.The band does an amazing job playing, and in my opinion this concert is way better than the Disasterpieces DVD, and maybe a little bit better than the 9.0 live C.D.The track list (18 songs) is just about perfect on this album, even though they only play 3 songs from the "All Hope Is Gone" album.And now to talk about the sound quality:Like every rock concert, the sound quality and performance gets better as the concert goes on. While the sound on the first song is a little "off" (but by no means bad sounding), by the fifth song - "get this", the band sounds awsome.The balance between all of the instruments and vocals is just about perfect, although the vocals on the chorus of "Sulfer" could have been a little bit louder. Mick and Jim's guitars are perfectly in-tune, tight, clean, clear, heavy and loud. Even though Jim improvises some of his lead parts, they always fit in really good with the music. Both Slipknot guitar players are virtuosos - they play perfectly even when they head-bang and go crazy - and this show is just another example of that fact.Of course, there are some flaws in the drumming, but considering how difficult and fast some of these songs are, that is understandable. If you are not a drummer though, you won't even notice these flaws. As usual, Joey Jordisons playing is incredible, and even though the band actually speeds up some of their songs, he handles them very well. I'll also mention that the snare drum marching band sections of "The Blister Exists" are amoung the highlights of the concert. All three drummers sound very tight, and the pattern they play in that section is one of the coolest drum parts I've ever heard.Corey Taylor does a very good job of singing and screaming in key, and re-creating acurately his vocal parts from the studio albums. I actually think he sounds a lot better here than in the 9.0 live C.D.So that's basically it. If you have any interest in Slipknots music whatsoever, I don't think it would be possible not to be blown away by this concert. Ignore what people say about the other disk. You are paying $20 for an incredible live DVD with 18 awsome songs, and the contents of the second disk (actually pretty cool) are just free bonus features.Buy this DVD right now (whether you are totally unfamiliar with Slipknot, or a hardcore fanatic) and you will not regret it. What an adrenaline rush!

I think SlipKnot has grown a lot over the years, even crazier to think is they have grown with me (I was in high school when they first started, and a lot of them were teenagers themselves at the time) and the evolution has been amazing.Through the years, many bands will come and go, most I wont like, a select few I'll enjoy for their uniqueness. SlipKnot has always been unique, what with Corey's amazing ability to go guttural and then actually sing all in the same song, Mickey's amazing Guitar skills, Joey's ability to godsmack you with Drum beats that rival the classic drummers (imo), and Paul's great talent for bass. Even clown, who seemingly does very little, adds atmosphere to songs with his way of drumming and beating beer kegs that has still not gotten old when its used in their stuff, and Sid- while more downplayed in newer songs- is a really good DJ.There is a uniqueness to SlipKnot that is unmatched, but ever evolving. Like any good band, they have changed over the years, and while some cant acclimate to the change, and debates can be made, even that itself is a testament to the power of SlipKnot.To me, watching the Download 2009 festival (having heard everything made public for the knot and a life long maggot) I feel this is the pinnacle of SlipKnot's work. Never has Corey seemed so on top of his game. While Corey is amazing, anyone that has seen a lot of live stuff from SlipKnot can tell you he has had a tendency to be less capable of keeping up with the songs in the past (which never hurt the concerts in my opinion) but in this show Corey showed a much more matured stage presence than ever before. I could speculate as to why, and I am glad he's taking better care of himself which may be a factor in his capabilities, but all that matters is this concert feels to me like one of the best things SlipKnot has ever done.This DVD is great, and comes with all special features you'd maybe want, the concert is mind blowing (even better then the last DVD concert they released), and it comes with some newer videos for you to enjoy.All in all, this is a SlipKnot fan must have.R.I.P. Paul (2). From a big fan, you will be missed and all love goes to your family and those you've left behind.

First off i read a few reviews before the release of this dvd and I'm shocked that so many people bashed this release because its not offered on Blu-ray my first reaction from this is so what!!! I mean honestly folks Blu-ray is sweet dont get me wrong but the picture and quality on this disc is not far from it i have a Blu-ray disc player so its kinda near HD but it doesnt really matter to me.I love this dvd set it reminds me when i saw Slipknot for the first time back on the Mayhem fest 2 years ago at VA Beach and one word to describe that show: BADASS!!! They are without a doubt the best live band out there well I take that back I would put them 2nd behind the legendary Metallica nobody and i repeat nobody can top those guys ever they are true icons!! But with this awesome dvd you get the whole live performance in Donington Park, England which they rocked the arena big time!! You get 18 live songs including some personal favorites like Duality, Wait and Bleed, Before I Forget, Surfacing, Psychosocial etc. And if this wasn't good enough 4 music videos and the making of one of them Snuff and a full-length film that is dedicated to the late great bass player Paul Gray R.I.P.This dvd set is def worth it if your a maggot or a big metal fan go out and buy this dvd you wont regret it I can honestly say when i saw these guys in concert 2 years ago i feel lucky that i got the chance because bottom line Slipknot is a great band full of very talented musicans so do yourself a favor a pick this up!!

Arrivato prima del previsto in ottime condizioni, come nuovo

worth just seeing them do "get this" live. concert is good, other footage isnt much.

el Download es uno de mejores festivales de la tierra, Slipknot ha participado en 5 ocasiones en dicho festival y este material solo es una pequeña muestra de lo que nos puede ofrecer la banda en vivo

Pour les fan de slipknot, c'est un tuerie. Par rapports au DVD Disasterpieces, la réalisation est bien meilleurs, un sons qui déchire (sûrement grâce au blu-ray), séquence plus étalé (ont vois bien mieux chaque membres du groupe) alors que sur Disasterpieces, les épileptiques ont du souci a ce faire. Vraiment génial

Blu-rayなだけあって画質◎ あっという間に全て観てしまえる素晴らしい作品でした。
