VHS Movie Reviews of Metallica - S & M with the San Francisco Symphony (Explicit Version) [VHS]

Movie Review: Gateway to heaven
Summary: 5 Stars

Perefect combination of Metallica and SF Symphony. Just play the DVD in a Home theater system and I promise you will feel you are in heaven. Its one album which I dont get bored watching zillions of times.

A must buy for any Metallica fan.

Movie Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars

The oasis for four metal gods in the desert of mediocrity that was the 90's. It's heavy, it's intense, it's beautiful, and it's one the greatest things that has ever reverberated against my eardrums. The timpani and strings go perfectly with the low, evil-sounding guitars on the slower, harder beginning tracks (The Call of Ktulu, Of Wolf and Man, The Thing that Should Not Be). The brass and again the strings amplify the heavy riffing of songs like For Whom the Bell Tolls and Fuel. The ballads are almost personified by the soft violins, creating a near-tear jerking blend of the most heartfelt poetry in music history and Michael Kamen's genius vision. Hetfield's voice is touching at times, downright scary at others. Lars, despite what you think of him, creates impossibly speedy rolls that will make you believe he has three sets of limbs. Hammett's (still) incredible high wails fill the scape of sound with an undertone of roughness and grit (when appropriate, of course). Newstead lays down the usual basslines, but unfortunately his contribution is often drowned out by the sheer amplitude that over 100 instruments can produce. Luckily that oversight doesn't cost the production in overall sound quality, which is the best I have ever heard from a live concert. The stunning performance of metal anthem One is the climax of the careers of four middle-aged men who used to be on top of the world. My only complaint is the omission of a few classic songs (...and Justice for All, The Unforgiven, Fade to Black), but that is to be expected of any greatest hits collaboration (which, in reality, S&M is).

If you want to have your ears sweetly shattered by the best noise the Lord our God has allowed to be heard on his earth, buy the double-live album. If you want to turn your living room into a chamber of echoing serenity and flashing lights, buy the DVD. If you thought that Metallica has sucked since the Black Album, buy both as payment for your transgressions. You won't be disappointed.

Movie Review: WORTH THE MONEY
Summary: 5 Stars

I have all of Metallica's albums, so I felt that there was no point in me getting the CD(s), so I got the DVD instead, and let me tell you....it absolutely blew me away. Quite simply, this is an experience that you MUST get, CD or DVD. Buy it, VERY highly recommended.

Damn, I wish I was there.....

Movie Review: there's nothing to say
Summary: 5 Stars

it's PERFECT. god i wish i was there. too bad i was only 9 back then. well it's not too bad to own this dvd. i got it last thanksgiving. everything about it is excellent. the guys were great (they looked great too) and of course u cannot forget the symphony. i'm not some1 who usually listens to symphonic music, to tell the truth, i hated b4. BUT, this dvd changed my mind, it gave me a new perspective on classic music. the thing is it's really enjoyable.

the concert includes great song selections such as master of puppetz, the one, roam, nothing else, bells,fuel(love lars's drums), and 2 unreleased songs. i thought battery was kind of inappropriate for the show but hey if it works then why not, it's a great way to end the show.

the dvd includes bonus material such as a 40 minute documentary on the making of S&M, one on one interviews with the guyz and also michael kamen. some parts were hilarious. it also give u the opportunity to choose different angles for a few songs.

this is something u can't miss. it's brilliant

Movie Review: Metallica - S & M with the San Francisco Symphony. Excellent.
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is Excellent, because the sound is perfect and see Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony is something outside this world.
