.......... the new stuff is worth the price of admission alone ($18 US is what forked over
) Here is what you get:
The promotional videos for "Reign of Fire," and "Last Train Home" I haven't seen those since the HBB many moons ago. VH1 showed a snippet of "Reign" when Anthrax were on Where are they Now, but that doesn't count. Man, it was cool seeing those old vids. You can definitely tell that Bush is the biggest partier in the group, when you compare modern day JB to 1991/92 JB (sorry brat!!)
The one hour "interview" and slide show. This is cool. They essentially interview themselves (with Bush doing most of the talking, go figure
) but it is very candid, not like most "documentaries" that make a band sound bigger than life during the highlights, and nearly suicidal during downtime (ala BTM) I was sitting in my living room drinking tea w/ the fireplace cranked and the snow falling outside, and it was like having the Saints in your living room with you. They went thru a lot of the fan questions that they advertised on the site. It was chronological, and very insightful. Who they toured with, what went on with the labels, why were there no videos for any Chrysalis songs after "Can U Deliver" etc, etc. You'll learn some cool stuff, such as Motley Crue funding the first Saint EP (indirectly) and other cool stuff.
There are some more live clips, including pro-shot stuff from Minneapolis.
The original "Trip" stuff has been cleaned up a little (the aspect ratio is the same) and the sound is in 5.1 so it's killer, except for the bootleg stuff is still bootleg
so the sound isn't that great, but it's louder!!
John Bush has a cool cameo in the interactive menu! Also, I think the new JB look w/ the Lew Alcindor mutton chops makes him look like Wolverine!
AND THE BIGGEST NEWS OF ALL................
ALL NEW FULL LENGTH SAINT ALBUM IN 2004
this word came straight from the DVD.
Hopefully they will tour.
