$8?!?!?! don't hesitate, pick this up! I would've paid the typical $20 concert video price. even more probably.
over an hour of the tightest, heaviest, craziest stuff you've ever heard or seen (unless you've already seen it, of course).
tracklist:
1) sacrifice
2) page 27
3) night goat
4) page 28
5) page 3
6) electric long thin wire
7) the bit
8) page 14
9) pigs of the roman empire
10) the omen
11) hooch

if you're a FANTOMAS fan, you'll love it. a MELVINS fan - you'll probably like it, if you enjoy some of their more experimental stuff (there are a few classics on here though).
Dale Crover and King Buzzo, Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton, Dave Lombardo, and David Scott Stone crammed on a stage together. 2 drummers, a bassist (sometimes 2), and a guitarist (mostly 2), oh and also samples, noise, and vocals. all at the same time, a meshing of MELVINS and FANTOMAS simultaneously. songs from both bands performed by all.
if you liked the CD they put out a few years back, you'll definitely dig this DVD. a lot of the same tracklist, but still a lot of new stuff.
the sound is great (super heavy), plenty of cameras with an intentional grainy feel, and occasional special effects, graphics, and animation (which is great in itself, wish there were more). sometimes it's like watching a horror film from the 70's.
there's also a commentary track featuring Danny DeVito, Buzz, Dale, and some other folks. haven't watched all of it (commentary) yet.
VERY worthwhile purchase.
if you're not familiar with the music, it's difficult to explain. this (FANTOMAS) is not improv, it's calculated, written, noise. having the albums really makes you appreciate the show, because you can see the precision and try to imagine the rehearsals. craziness. MELVINS are beyond description - heavy, classic, unlike anyone else, the best.
really good stuff, great bargain, and highly recommended.
Dale needs mentioned more, PHENOMENAL drummer. how he just walked in, picked it up, and obliterated it - makes me respect him even more. not being a member of FANTOMAS and playing alongside another unreal drummer - wow.
Worth it for "Sacrifice" alone by .. Judah Cradle ()
Great show, unlike "Millenium Monsterwork" Mike Patton now knows the words to the Melvins' songs. A wonderful show, but I almost can't stand watching this DVD. They try to interpret the Fantomas songs with a shaky camera and at some points it gets really cheesy. But; for the price you can't beat it and the commentary with Danny Devito is wonderful. Don't be fooled the "Spider Baby" encore is not a medley, I got my hopes up for that too, way up.
A unique performance by .. Christy (Perú)
Fantomas and Melvins together are just a different experience, seeing them together is a dream for every fan, this performance is completely stunning live, almost a perfect performance, they sound same or even better than the studio version. This show clearly isn't for everybody, so if someone wants to see and hear something challenging , should pick this DVD!
Solid performance by .. Kevin Schneider (Cincinnati, OH)
A great show for Fantomas and Melvins fans alike.
If your a fan of both, like me, you'll love it.
The track list is a little different than the live CD they put out a few years ago, there's more songs, and its better quality.
Gotta love the 2 drummers up there together - 2 legends at the top of their game.
Awesome Concert by .. C. W. Chesser (New Mexico)
I'm a huge fan of Mike Patton, Fantomas, and the Melvins. This DVD captures them perfectly. The video is raw with a lot of artsy effects that add to the experience. The sound is great and the commentary is a lot of fun. I wish Patton and Lombardo were on the commentary, but the Melvins and Danny DeVito are great. Now will someone please let Fantomas do the next James Bond song?!!
