VHS Movie Reviews of Metallica - Cliff 'Em All
Movie Review: Best home video compilation ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This video, while recorded by fans on various camcorders in the 1980s, is probably the best home video compilation documenting a band there is. This video takes you through the days before Kill 'em All, with interviews, performances, and photos all the way into the Master of Puppets tour. There are even clips with Dave Mustaine on lead guitar at Cliff's 2nd gig with the band.
Some people will complain about the quality of the audio and video. For those people I say:
1) What footage exists of this band during this time period with better quality audio / video?
2) This is supposed to be an amateur video compilation.
If you haven't seen Metallica with Cliff Burton, this is definitely worth adding to your collection.
Movie Review: A great comp. from when Metallica was still good.
Summary: 5 Stars
In the early '90s I had an umpteenth-generation dubbed VHS copy of this and a friend of mine and I watched it nearly every single day. The videotape squeaked and never wanted to rewind fully. The sound quality deteriorated until you could only tell what song they were playing by watching closeups of their hands on the guitars. We didn't care, and continued to watch it every day anyway, so good is this video.
Now, after Load was released I think I actually went a full decade without listening to even one Metallica song, I was so disgruntled by it. I still haven't heard anything they've done after Load, but, you know, enough is enough. I've forgiven them, because there first few albums are still great. I still am depressed about the fact that, when ask people, "Do you remember when Metallica didn't suck?" people make me feel like a crusty old person. Many people do not remember. If they got this DVD, they could perhaps understand. Maybe it's the nostalgia value, but words cannot adequately convey my love of this compilation. It's mostly live clips but some humorous interview footage is also thrown in. (Interviewer asks how long the band has been together, James answers, "...since we started...")
As implied by the name, this is obviously all stuff from when Cliff was still around. (R.I.P., Cliff.) In case you're clueless, he's that tall, puffy cloud of hair with the Misfits tattoo, and of course it collects a good amount of bass solos.
Song choices are good and there is a clip of them covering "Am I Evil?" The video and sound quality varies, as some of this is bootleg video-sourced and other stuff was professionally-shot. But the fuzzy videos from the early days are still awesome due the amount of energy and the quality of the music, despite some quality problems and the fact that James doesn't sound great on some of the songs. Watching this, I can almost forget about Metallica's later stuff, and that is a good thing.
Movie Review: This is the REMASTERED edition
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this on VHS and laserdisc, and I saw the early DVD release and was not impressed. Now we get this remastered version. The video quality is as a little better than the laserdisc, the original DVD was horribly degraded in comparison. And now we get PCM audio instead of the data compressed Dolby Digital sound of the original DVD.
Enough technical stuff, if you love early British Metal, like Zeppelin, Sabbath, Deep Purple, Motorhead, and Diamondhead, you will love Metallica. This disc captures the early true Metallica with the late great Cliff Burton. He was one of the last members to join the band but somehow formed the heart and soul of Metallica. He was a great musician and performer, a lover of classical music and rock alike. His bass solo Orion makes me think of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
Enough rambling, THIS DISC IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL HEADBANGERS!!!!!!!!
Movie Review: Umm its cool
Summary: 5 Stars
Umm there is people that complained about the sound quality and it wasn't bad that it sounded muted.I purchased that dvd yesterday August 9,2007 and umm I just wished Cliff Burton had more different bass solos but he didn't every show he went to on that dvd was the song (Anesthesia)-Pulling Teeth.Umm well this is a old video so I understand why it sounded like that for the quality.Its a 1987 dvd and they made turned it into a dvd 1999.Well Metallica I believe in you and keep making good dvds and studio albums.You guys went through rough times.
Movie Review: One of the best Metal Releases (cd or dvd) and the BEST OF METALLICA
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my most favorite Metal Releases I own. It's Metallica at their best featuring live footage/versions of songs from their acclaimed intitial trilogy of the true Metallica Sound (Kill Em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets). Here, we see the true start of the Metallica Legacy prior to their rise to fame and the 360 they made in their music and style after their success with the black album.
Here, we get a gritty and raw look at the band which is both a tribute to the passing of their original bass player, Cliff Burton, Who died in the band's tragic Tour bus accident and the end of Metallica as a hungry and a very,heavy metallic band.
You'll see here film of the band in early days playing clubs and as openers for the likes of Ozzy. You'll even get to see film of when Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) was there as Metallica's Original Guitarist.
If you want to see and hear Metallica at their very best, get this DVD!!!Next to Bing and Purge, This is the best you'll ever see Metallica to be. (Unlike the mess of the Madonna Truth or Dare Wanna-Be Film Metallica released called SOME KIND OF MONSTER, which could have easily been titled SOME KIND OF MISTAKE--The film that you could say has killed Metallica's credibility as being known as Metal Masters.)...
Thank goodness for Cliff 'Em All....
