Hard Vision

This band features Sammy Hagar on vocals, Michael Anthony on bass, Joe Satriani on guitar, and Chad Smith on Drums. Here’s is a 13 song DVD of the band live. First off, great sound and filming. One kickass DVD. The group is up on stage, having a blast, and the songs are played tight as […]

A fascinating DVD this is. I agree with all the opinions on this. With downloads and music sales slumping, it’s more important for a band to build its brand, whether it be live shows, a super catchy logo, a VIP meet and greet, having as many social media sites/pages as possible, then going in the […]

Battle Cry includes 17 f*cking slabs of Judas Priest Style heavy metal and this shit is totally awesome! Rob Halford and the boys are in top form and at the top of their game. Includes all of the anthems and much, much more! Recorded Live August 1, 2015 in front of 85,000+ head-banging fans at […]

Johnny Winter was the real king of Texas blues! He could make his guitar wail like no other. This was recorded on Swedish TV in front of what looks like a TV studio audience of like 100 people or so. Winter and his band ruled. His blues based rock was very catchy and his vocals […]

For those who don’t know The Allman Brothers are a southern rock band that started in the late 60’s and continued on into the 70’s. Now they didn’t have the sound of say bands like The Outlaws or Lynyrd Skynyrd. I personally was not a big fan of the band as I felt their music […]

Rigor Mortis a thrash band out of Texas in the 80’s that were one of the 1st bands to get signed to a major label that were not 1st signed to an indie before jumping to a major. What a great DVD as it goes before the beginnings of the band and leads you up […]

I am a huge fan of Metal/Hard Rock documentaries. I’m also a Scorpions fan so this should be perfect for me, right? Actually, I didn’t really enjoy it all that much, and I’ll tell you why. This was supposed to be a five decade career retrospective of the band but while watching, I felt this […]

The first release that I would like to talk about is The Great Kat’s DVD release, “Beethoven’s Guitar Shred.” Not that it’s a bad thing…but…this release is pretty much the same as her previous DVD, “Extreme Guitar Shred.” This DVD includes seven shred videos and each one is short and straight to the point. My […]

I was a bit disappointed with this release the first time I went through it. I thought the “Staying A Life” section would be a straight through performance. But, a video was thrown in here and there as well as a few random comments about what you were watching. It’s almost like they were thinking […]

After a mediocre first attempt, a freshly regrouped and revived Covenant return, backed by a new label to bring us their second greatly prolific offering. The Covenant of 1998 come forth bringing with it new life, for joining original members Blackheart and Nagash are Sverd, Astennu, and veteran Hellhammer to round out the cosmic equation. […]

STARRING: Jennifer Schwartz, Hilary Rubens, Steve McDonald, Tracy Lea, Jeff McDonald, Kim Pilkington, Janet Housden, Michael F. Glass. I was at a loss as to how I should review this film and, in doing so, I formed two different opinions. First of all, if you’re just an average movie fan, one who goes to the […]

Acheron have built a name for themselves over the years as a solid, original death metal band and “Those Who Have Risen” points out that fact once again and shows us just why. This, a concept album based on vampyric rites, shows the band sharper than ever. With the production outdoing that of even their […]
