SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
ChrisG1975 Okay, first off to warn people, this DVD is NOT endorsed by the band, so therefore, there is no popular songs, or videos of songs, in this DVD. What you do get is 60 mins (the only drawback...too short!) of great stories about one of the greatest bands in history, told by friends, ex-employees and ex-bandmates.Alot of these stories you will never have heard before, and the unseen pictures are fantastic! There are a few interviews with Diamond Dave, and also some with Eddie and Alex Van Halen. The only drawback is the length, and the laughable extras. Otherwise....great documentary! Now hopefully the band will put one together!If you can get over the fact that there is no actual music done by the band, take a look!! Fascinating!!!
