killadelphia - this is my favorite music dvd in my library. lamb of god is awe inspiring! great view of the band on the road. i ve watched this one a few times and still lovin it. the only downside for me was the fight segment towards the end. with that exception the band comes across very professional and their musicianship is amazing.well recomended!!
Killadephia Review - Great DVD that captures not only their intensity with live shows but a bit of the dynamics that make the band tick. The set list is also really nice - covers almost all of their hits up until Ashes of the Wake.
Chris Adler for president ! - I am based in India,and I sincerely think you yankees should get adler as your next president.Anybody who can drum like the way he does HAS to be divine.Anyways,about the DVD - its a lot on the lines of Pantera s vulgar vids,but a lot lot better.My grouse with that dvd was that it focussed too much on the revelry to do justice to the musical genius of Pantera.This DVD has its fair share of drinking,smokin up,chicks,brawls ( some major drama there )and more,but it never strays from the 1 reason why anybody would buy a LOG dvd in the first place - THE MUSIC.The boys rip through a brilliant setlist and position themselves as worthy successors to Pantera as the new thrash metal titans. to Adler and Morton.The extra s are super cool too.All in all - A must have for thrash metal fans...
Powerful Metal - Lamb of God is one of the best metal/hardcore bands around. Not only do they play heavy music, but they put on killer live shows. I ve been lucky enough to attend a concert of theirs, and it was unbelieveable. Of course, Killadelphia is not comparable attending a LOG concert, but this DVD captures the heaviness that is LOG. The concert footage is great, and definitely shows viewers how powerful this band is. I ve always had nothing but the utmost respect for Mark Morton and Willie Adler, but watching this made me appreciate Chris Adler and John Campbell as well for they are incredible musicians. This DVD is highly recommended, if you are a LOG fan.
A spectacular documentary. - The details that Amazon.com has on display for this DVD has several mistakes in it. Their list of the running time being 120 minutes with 30 minutes of exclusive behind-the-scenes on the road footage, is completely incorrect. The DVD package clearly lists the running time for this documentary at 180 minutes, or 3 hours. Yes, this DVD does contain Bonus Features, but Amazon.com didn t correctly list them in their description of this DVD. The bonus features are hidden easter eggs that lead to additional out-takes and deleted scenes, band and director commentary, Soundcheck segments, out-takes, and 3 music videos. This DVD does NOT include the CD with all of the songs that Lamb of God was filmed performing for this DVD. That is available for purchase separately, but I don t recommend buying it because the CD only contains live versions of songs from Ashes of The Wake and several of Lamb of God s previous CDs. So, you really can skip the live CD altogether. This DVD is all you need.Killadelphia was produced by High Roller Studios, NOT Sony. However, it is manufactured by and distributed by Epic Music Video (A division of Sony/BMG Music Entertainment). killadelphia was directed by Doug Spangenberg, who is under contract with High Roller Studios. He also directed the documentary The Making of Sacrament, which is the bonus disc included in the Deluxe Edition of Lamb of God s current CD, Sacrament. Another very good documentary that you should check out.Killadelphia can be viewed two (2) different ways. You can choose to watch ONLY the concert footage by itself or you can watch the feature documentary movie Killadelphia, which is a combination of behind the scenes footage of the band while their out on tour promoting the CD Ashes of The Wake and doing a lot of other stuff during the tour and between gigs. There are numerous informal and semi-formal interviews with band members, the tour manager, and members of the road crew. There are also some very good examples of Direct Cinema style documentary filmmaking in several scenes. However, this documentary would was actually mostly filmed in a Cinéma Verité style.(Filmmakers, film students, and film nerds will know what the terms Direct Cinema and Cinéma Verité mean. If you don t know what they mean, but you want to, please look them up.)I highly recommend this DVD to all Lamb of God fans, heavy metal lovers everywhere, and aspiring documentary filmmakers too. The director, Doug Spangenberg, is a good director and he did very good job with this documentary. This is one of my favorite DVDs in my ever-growing DVD collection.
