This is, a DVD for the fans. Who else would buy it anyway? The guys did a great job compiling footage from their entire history to give you a glimpse into their world. It is great to see that these are down to earth, if a little wild, guys who made good. By the way, this is the best band out there today, and anything they do in the future will be great because they continue to push the boundaries and make great records, not singles for pop consumption. Part of the DVD also clears up and ongoing issue about Shadows' voice. They decided before Waking the Fallen that that album would be 1/2 scream, 1/2 sing and the next album (City of Evil) would be a singing album. Zacky said in a guitar mag interview that they didn't want to contribute to that noise polution (screaming) anymore. I can confirm that Shadows does have plenty of vocal power and can still scream when he wants to. I saw them in Atlanta last year and he has live vocal power comparable to Steven Tyler.
If you want a live concert video, this isn't it. It has about 4 live songs and 4 music videos, plus an audio only version of Pantera's "Walk". There is plenty of live footage of the guys on you tube if that is all you are looking for, even newer versions of songs like "Second Heartbeat" that are mostly singing. If you want an in depth look at the band and want to see a little raunchy good fun, buy this DVD. Great job by Avenged Sevenfold by putting out something the fan base (and it is a big fan base) will love. For those of you out there just getting a glimpse of these guys, buy the CD's, buy the DVD, buy a t-shirt, and get on the mailing list. When the new album and tour comes around, it is going to be an amazing ride.
