Summary: Not their best.....
Comment: I recently purchased this dvd and wasn't as impressed as I was after seeing Changes. The guys are a lot more rowdy in this one and although some scenes are comical (the laundry scene especially) if you are interested in their music and getting a more mature insight into the band from the band themselves....this may not be the right choice...but if you're a Godsmack fan...as I am....it won't be the worst thing you ever saw.

Summary: So-so Smacked
Comment: It was a bit of a disappointment in all honesty. I'm a big Godsmack fan and I thought this was a really cool DVD when I was first starting to watch it. But about halfway through I found myself to becoming a bit bored. Sure things like the signing of the topless chicks, seeing them trash the dressing room, and Sully daring a guy 200 dollars if he could eat an onion was really cool. But I found myself to be disappointed because there were several parts that I felt were unnecessary and should have been removed. I was also massively let down when I discovered that none of the songs are shown in their entirety. I would love to see an entire song and not just a couple of seconds of it. The only complete song they show is when Sully sings Pantera's Walk with all the other members of Pantera. Also the Drum Duel between Sull and Tommy is really cool. Well, it's essential if you're a Godsmack fan, but other bands have been able to release better DVD's then this. Also there is no 5.1 sound option. I hoped this helped.

Summary: don't bother
Comment: Why anyone would put out a music dvd in the 21st century that was not in dolby digital 5.1 is beyond me. It might be because there are more breasts than music included.

Summary: Worth the $$$$ just to see it
Comment: This DVD absolutely cracked me up--the laundry room and backstage scenes are worth the money just for the laugh--not for the squeemish though. Gotta see it if you're a fan.

Summary: Oh Those Crazy Metal Bands!
Comment: Yes, we've all seen it before; demolishing dressing rooms, streaking, and of course those ubiquitous topless babes. Such is the life of many a rock band on the road and Godsmack is no exception. Still, this is pretty funny stuff that shows Godsmack; primarily goateed frontman Sully Erna; are fond of touring hijinks. The video starts by showing Erna and guitarist Tony Rombola doing Erna's laundry while high. Who knew doing whites could be so much fun? Later on, Erna pretends to be a gay reporter asking bassist Robbie Merrill stupid questions and later yet beats up Merrill's brother(a roadie) after he is depants on the tour bus. The video does offer a brief history and clips of early Godsmack rehearsals and various occasions onstage where Erna indulges his unpredictable side by: using malfunctioning guitars as sledgehammers, drunkenly jumping out onstage with Pantera and noticing that a fan in the fifth row has urine in a jar. It's a good life, if you can get it.
