Dont go there !

Advantages: If youa re writing an essay on people that used to know GD, purchase
Disadvantages: Generic, really scrapes the barrel

...so many unofficial DVDs for Green Day out there at the moment, but this was one of the first DVDs on them, released in 2002. I myself, am not a fan of unofficial DVDs as if think they seem to scrape the barrel with generic information. Unfortunately this appears to be the case with this DVD also, with information on the band which has been documented time and time again. There is old information and people that have appeared out of the woodwork ...
...fame. I purchased this a couple of years ago as a massive Green Day fan who thought she could enjoy anything with them on. Needless to say, I have recently sold it for £0.99 on ebay! I would not recommend buying this unless it is in a bargain bucket somewhere. ...

Review of Green Day - Pogo Paradise (DVD)

Lover of Life, Singer Of Songs. Legend

Advantages: Solo Videos, rare last Freddie interview, a lot of extras
Disadvantages: Some of the extras are a bit long and boring

Freddie Mercury-Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs DVD I had this DVD bought for me for my birthday in November 2006 when it had just come out. I also have the Freddie Mercury CD "Lover Of Life, Singer Of Songs, The Very Best Of Freddie Mercury Solo" being a big Queen and Freddie fan. I love the name of the CD and DVD as I think it sums Freddie up perfectly, as it says on the back of the DVD booklet, it was Brian May's inscription for the Freddie Mercury ...

Robbie Williams - And through it all

Review of Robbie Williams - And Through It All - Robbie Williams Live 1997-2006 (DVD)

Not good.

Advantages: If you know next to nothing about Guns n' Roses, might be worth a look.
Disadvantages: Bad layout, no real conclusion, repeated facts, uninteresting interviews.

I am an avid Guns n' Roses fan and bought this DVD a while back. However, it was a waste of my money as I didn't learn anything new from it. If you don't know much about the general history of the band and want to learn more, then it might be worth purchasing it but otherwise I wouldn't bother. Most of the people that are interviewed in the DVD seem to be complete randomers with no real connections to the band at all. You don't really get to see ...

Review of Guns 'n' Roses - Sex 'n' Drugs 'n' Rock 'n' Roll (DVD)

loudQUIETloud (A Film About The Pixies)

Advantages: Behind the scenes with one of the most influential bands in rock
Disadvantages: Unless you're Spinal Tap, tours aren't a natural for a linear documentary

...an internationally representative level on the subject of the Pixies. A "most influential rock band of the last 25 years" here, a "staggering use of loud/soft quick/fast" dynamics" there. They emerged, almost fully formed, in 1987, recorded five (well, four and a half) seismically memorable albums, and then split in 1992 amidst acrimony; singer Black Francis informing the media before his bandmates, then tossing them a cursory fax afterwards. The ...
...was one sure thing in the music biz, it was that they would NEVER reform. In 2004, they reformed. In their absence, their fame had grown; the platitudes of Kurt Cobain and countless others, the iconic use of "Where Is My Mind?" at the end of "Fight Club", all had served to elevate their stock. A rabid audience could scarcely believe it; for years, the two most obviously warring elements, Black Francis and bassist/vocalist Kim Deal, had refused ...
