Full review
There are not many fans of Slipknot left in the world, as Slipknot fans have recently built up a reputation for being absolute wierdos who dont wash, and for the most part this is a correct assumption. Believe me i know some of them, ew. Anyway, as I was saying, when I watched this DVD it was borrowed from a friend who, incidently is not one of the aforementioned kinds of slipknot fans, but simply enjoys the music in some way. I sat at home and put it on with an open mind, I had heard a lot about it beforehand and had also heard some of Slipknots music which I thought was quite good, and also very distinctive mainly because of Cory Taylors vocals.
For this review we will concentrate on the main part of the DVD not the special features, as these are not important in this case. The main Idea of the idea of the DVD is to show the concert Slipknot performed in 2002, in London, but it also cuts to behind the scenes stuff on them which is often very strange, but also informative. An example of strange could be puking before going on stage as a ritual, and an example of informative it the close ups on Joey's drumming. (by the way if you don't know already, he has one of the fastest double basses in the world, if not the fastest im not sure.)
Something i find quite annoying about these cut-scenes from the main content of the DVD, is the lined 'old' style effects which are put over it along with the annoying sounds, which, in my opinion spoil a lot of the documentry style stuff. In these cut-scenes, there is also a rare glimpse at some of the band members faces (they usually wear masks) But not all of them, as I think they dont want people to recognise them or something, but you probably wouldnt want to see under the masks anyway.
The main content of the DVD is very good, I loved the visual stage effects performed with lighting, fire and hydraulics. Everything seems to move, and the band are very interactive with their 'Audience'. We all know that this is one mosh pit you probably would not like to be in.
Highlights include Joey's absolutely mad drum solo, which involves him being strapped into his seat , and going at a 90 degree angle facing the pit, whilst still drumming. Another is where Corey Taylor gets everyone in the pit to sit down, and then gets them to all stand up when he says 'Jump the f**k up!' in one of the songs, I thought that was pretty cool.
A lot of people find that Slipknot are not their cup of tea, and thats fine, but there are also a lot of 'In the closet' fans like me, who secretly listen to their music. Shhh! Nobody knows!
Advantages: Lots Of Songs, When Slipknot Were At Their Best Disadvantages: None
...Bought. I Was A Huge Slipknot Fan Back When It Was Released And Still Am. The DVD Isnt Short, So You Get Your Value For Money.

My Opinion
I own "Welcome to our neighbourhood", "Disasterpieces" and "Voliminal:Inside the nine". These are all official Slipknot Releases. Because of this, they all are way above this DVD. Having said that, this DVD isn't that bad. It's entertaining the first time you watch it before getting a little tenacious the second. The main problem i have with it, aside from the fact it has no Slipknot Music, is the price. The RRP is £12.99 which is far from the amount i would be prepared to pay. (Luckily i didn't pay because i watched it...
