Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 17 Average rating: 4.5 "One of the Best bands to come out of LA ever!" This DVD is a must for any Cruehead out there. This DVD has 10 extra minutes of the VH1 Behind The Music featuring Motley Crue. Get it soon before it goes out of print. "A MUST OWN FOR ANY AND EVERY CRUE FAN" Anyone whose seen the VH1 Crue special and liked it, especially Crue fans will gallop over this. The DVD version comes with about 10 minutes extra footage and the video from their Hits CD, the song Enslaved. The only disappointment is no footage or interview with John Corabi. DVD's usually add a mess of unreleased material that is not included for VHS, and it would have been great to seen anything on John Corabi. But this will do, this is the best VH1 BTM available right now for metal, in fact I believe it's the only one. "We need more Motley DVD's!" This is a Motley fan's dream come true. You get to see everything from when it was on TV with no commercials, plus extra footage. And as an added bonus, we get a video for "Enslaved". The only downfall to this DVD is that it is censored. You hear none of the swearing. You would think they would keep that in there. But hey, it's Motley and who cares. They do need to release that video collection DVD! But anyway, I highly recommend this DVD. "The Honest Motley Truth" An excellent documentary on the history of Motley Crue. The quality of the picture and sound is great. The only thing I wish they had done was to remove the editing on this DVD. In the U.S. apparently VH1 is a television show or something, but I've never heard of it in Canada. The editing should have been fine for television, but on DVD, they could have removed the beeps over the foul language and distortion over the nudity. Other than that this is the DVD to get if you are a Crue fan, or interested in the history of 80/90's metal/rock bands. This is not a hype DVD like Uncensored or anything like that. This seriously follows the life of the members of Motley Crue. Each member had a great story to tell. Vince Neil's daughter & car accident, the celebrity marriages, drug overdoses, arrests, it's all here, and told honestly. "Don't Blame the Crue!" It appears that Amazon.com has linked the description of the highly anticipated Video Hits Collection with this Behind the Music Edition. This is the DVD version of the Motley Crue: VH1 Behind The Music (with additional footage). It includes one music video - Motley Crue's single "Enslaved". As mentioned above this DVD title has additional footage, scene access, a music video, discography, and interactive menu. The running time of this DVD is 65 Minutes. The video transcription to DVD is very good. Remember however, that you're dealing with some older video footage of varying quality here. The video quality of the music video is comperable to that of a hand held camcorder. It looks like bootleg concert footage, but hey it's art! It's supposed to look that way! The interview segments with Nikki, Tommy, Vince, Mick and other music industry people, on the other hand are very sharp, crisp and focused - especially the Sixx interview footage. This is my favorite "Behind the Music" episode - and it's even better without the commercials and narative redundancy (if you've seen the show you know what I mean). If you love the Crue, I highly recommend it. If you are just learning about the Crue, this should be "required reading material"!
