Megadeth celebrates their career with a worthy collection of videos and
vignettes along with some unseen footage that will have every rattlehead
screaming for more. As a fan of their earlier material and the heyday of
Metal video and MTV's "Headbanger's Ball" I enjoyed the chance to have all
of their videos in one convenient package. However, to make sure that this
would be accepted and received by a larger audience Mustaine made sure to
include a large amount of clips and features that have not been seen in a
number of years. There is a little of everything and among them are vintage
MTV appearances as well as clips from the film "Decline Of Western
Civilization" of which Megadeth was a guest star. Several cool touring
segments are presented such as "Clash Of The Titans" (from 2000) as well as
footage from the celebrated 2005 "Gigantour". The end result is a whopping
double DVD set that is bound to please Metal fans of all ages. As many
Metal fans can agree Megadeth is one of the more important bands to have
ever come around for the genre, and this DVD collection serves as a good way
to remember why this is the case. Intelligent lyrically, and musically
profound Megadeth has given Headbangers a solid thrashing from 1983 until
now.
With the group now in their 23rd year the fans are as unrelenting as the
music that Megadeth plays. Today the lineup of the group is completely
different from the start as the Drover Brother's (Glenn and Shawn) handle
the guitar and drums while James McDonough on bass joins Mustaine as he
brings his message to the Metal masses next generation. All lineups seem to
be reflected in this DVD as well which makes it all the more special. This
DVD is a must have not only for the old school Megadeth fan but also those
who remember the forlorn time when Metal also ruled MTV's airwaves. I feel
there is a large scale appeal to this and makes for a good companion to
their previous live concert DVD "Rude Awakening" (which was almost a live
best of when you come to think of it) to their eventual release of some more
"Gigantour" footage.
