Reviews
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
levistie Definitely the best Van Halen DVD. Video Hits was good (not enough David Lee Roth), Live Without A Net was bearable (sound wasn't great. kind of a softer side of Van Halen). Live Right Here, Right Now is the best. After two albums (OU812 and 5150) Van Halen finally returned to their metal sound. True, it would never be the same with Diamond Dave out of the picture. This has a lot of songs from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and some old hits like When It's Love and Jump. It's not the best concert footage I've ever seen or anything, but as far as Van Halen DVDs go it gets a ten. The truth is they haven't put out that much and I'm sure most of us are sitting at home hoping that some old footage featuring David Lee Roth will get thrown on a DVD. No offense Sammy. It's a pity metal's greatest group never put out a concert video with their best singer.
Samborafan822 I saw this DVD one day at a store and thought "Wow I didn't even know that they had another DVD." I got Live Without a Net for Christmas and was dumbfounded. So I figured hey, for the 12 bucks for this DVD I'm sure it will be worth it. But 12 dollars is kinda pushing it. The music, I think, couldn't be better. I mean it's Van Halen. But when the director came in with the little intro, saying he had 15 cameras spanning over 2 nights, I thought uh oh. But then I figured that maybe one song would be from one night, and another from the other night. But sadly, no. The video switches between concerts in mid-song. Not just once, but many times. You see Eddie with his goldish Wolfgang in one shot while standing right next to Sammy then in the next shot he is on the other side of the stage with a reddish amber Wolfgang. The cameras also switch way too much between members of the band and the audience, to the point where most would start to feel sick. The sound for the majority of the concert had a weird distorted buzzing to it, as if nobody even worried about adjusting levels for the video. But now onto the music. The band itself rocked, as usual. Michael Anthony's bass solo was awesome, far superior to the one in Live Without a Net. It made me smile :-) ha ha. Alex also gave a great drum solo. Sammy's little Eagles Fly solo was cool, but I think Sammy is such a great guitar player he could have done a few riffs as well. My favorite part (as well as every other guitarists') was Eddie's solo. He created sounds that I have never heard before. If that was the only thing on the DVD, I think i still would have bought it. Overall, the video isn't bad, but I believe the music saved it from being horrible. Probably the best thing to do is turn it on, go do something else, and just listen to the concert, not watch. But if you are going to do that, you may as well just go buy the Right Here Right Now CD.
icd55 I loved the "Live Without A Net" video, so when RHRN came out I rushed to buy it, man what a dis-apointment. The whole thing is cobbled together from multiple evenings concerts so it doesn't flow in any way, there's no dialogue between songs to give the viewer the real concert atmosphere and the number of bum notes EVH hits during his solo were scary! For some reason too, the video is full of awful special effects including split screens which just mess it up. The whole thing is badly lit, badly filmed, badly editted and simply sucks.
thomas.reh This DVD gives me mixed emotions. On the one hand it resembles a great summary of the Sammy Hagar-Era, on the other hand there are two major turn-offs: First is the poor picture quality. There are visible MPEG-artefacts in the dark picture areas (which is a major part in a rock concert). Second turnoff is, that the performance consists obviously of two different shows. Note that Sammy Hagars outfit changes eventually. Summary: good concert, poor picture.
