He says it is one of the best musical masterpeices he has heard/seen (in so many words). I watched it with him the other night, and it is definetly a GREAT dvd! So I definetly recommend this. Surely all hardcore Cliff fans already own this one :) "Remember the good old days?" Yes this DVD was dedicated to the memory of Cliff Burton, but it's also a tribute to old-school Metallica. Ah... the good old days. When it was all about the music. This DVD is excellent. Some people complain about poor quality, both visual and audio, but if you consider how old the footage is (and bootlegs nontheless), you'll be amazed at the quality. After reading other reviews I expected something pretty bad. Man, was I amazed! Yes, maybe this is not the ideal DVD to turn someone who has never heard of Metallica, but the bottom line is that if you're a true fan, you will not be dissappointed with buying this. Trust me, I'm not regretting buying this! "Put those devil horns in the air..." Cliff Burton, possibly the all time greatest bassist in heavy metal history. Here we get to see a tribute to the late bassist from the rest of Metallica, but the real treat here is seeing Cliff himself play a few bass solos. I mean when you watch him play you will be in sheer awe, the man was inhuman! While the video quality is questionable in some parts, the sound quality sure isn't, hearing the classic lineup go through "Fade to Black", "Seek & Destroy", and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (my fave on here) is reason enough to buy this. The DVD menu is worth mentioning too, we're treated to hearing "The Thing That Should Not Be" in the background. All in all, this is a must if your an old time Metallica fan. "Excellent" Some strong performances by these boys. Seeing the last moments with cliff was a truly sad thing, yet great in a way as well. Cliff by far is or was not the greatest bassist ever, his work on all metallica albums in the 80's wasnt produced that great, even though it had its kick ass moments with Anesthesia, for whom the bell tolls, and Orion. Steve Harris of Iron Maiden without a doubt is the greatest bassist ever if it came about. Your fingers dont get as fast as his on a 4 string ol fender. Still a terrific show and cliff was still an excellent bassist, extremely overrated now, but was still great. Seeing Mustaine perform is even better, you want to talk about a great performer as well as a godly guitarist, watch mustaine crunch those riffs. Then Hammet came along, who as well plays great, but he by far is no dave mustaine and never will be, but replacing dave is beyond comprehension. This was great, and this is when metallica were all about the music, and all about the fans. Sad to say, all that is dead now. Still we have the memories and its in this video. Get it if your a metalhead, even if you hate what metallica has become now, like me, still this was when they rocked. (Cliff RIP) Metal reigns!... "Cliff forever" I saw Cliff Burton live twice. What an amazing talent. Such a shame he died so young. Unlike most rockers who die before they reach the age of thirty, it wasn't Cliff's fault. He was asleep on his tour bus when it crashed in Europe. That said, this DVD shows the REAL Metallica. Not that watered down, Poplica that we have been putting up with since the god-awful Black album. I remember the old days. Those of us who wore our Metal up your ... T-shirts to high school were a special group indeed. No one knew who Metallica were except for a select few. They were underground, dangerous, and played the most kick butt rock n roll ever heard. This DVD captures Metallica in all their glory with Cliff Burton, "The major rager on the four string mother ...." as introduced by Jaymz. Bass solos that will blister your ears, the greatest versions of 'Seek and Destroy' and 'For Whom the Bell Tolls" you'll ever hear, and Cliff footage showing Cliff at his humorous best. Did you know ZZ Top was a big influence of his? A lot of people complain that this DVD is no good because it's mostly bootleg footage shot from the crowd. I disagree, the poor quality footage and 'not so happening' sound only enhances the Cliff legend. Back in the days when you didn't know who Metallica was unless you bought an album or went to a show. They were against the establishment, against polished up MTV videos, and against everything that metal was that made itself a joke. Metallica was real and this was real, unmixed, raw footage. It's the Metallica we remember and love, and will never see again. This is the only Metallica DVD worth buying in my opinion. It brings me back to high school parties when we were the bad dudes who dug Metallica. I was a junior in high school when Cliff died and we were all shocked and in disbelief. When reality hit, it was a sad time for us. Gone was metal's most original bass player. Metallica wanted him so bad in the begining that they packed up and moved from LA to San Fran just to have him. Metallica was at it's greatest when they had a bass player that wore bluejean bell-bottoms and a Misfits T-shirt. There are some who still remember Cliff and will never forget his impact on music. Like Randy Rhodes, we can only wonder and wish what might have happened if he was still here. For all the new fans who started listening to Metallica when "Enter Sandman' was on MTV every 15 minutes, buy this DVD and get a true introduction to 'old school'. R.I.P. Cliff, the true fans will never forget.
