Band DVD's with recording footage

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

As we all know, good studio footage is better than top quality porn. Could you guys list some band DVD's which include some nice material about the making of some of their albums? I haven't really stumbled upon any good ones though I remember people about talking about them :/ Chimaira's Dehumanizing process has some nice stuff and of course Metallica's Some kind of monster, but any others worth watching?

On the speacial edition of Unearth´s "III In the eyes of fire" there is a DVD with some studio-footage. But there´s eventually no usefull information, perhaps except that they´ve recorded the vocals with a SM 58, cuz their shouter doesn´t feel comfortable with a cordenser mic and wants to jump around while screaming.
Additionally they covered their cabs and stuff with rugs.

There are some internet-webisodes with some studio stuff:
Darkest Hour Myspace

Fear Factory - Linchpin EP (some 10 minutes of studio stuff)
Fear Factory - Archetype (a little bit of studio stuff)

maybe not your cup of tea but the new Underoath Album comes with a dvd that is all studio footage its tight

 

[KeithRT99]

hate eternal's dvd has an in depth studio tour but not actual recording footage.

i think deadwing by porcupine tree has some footage.

opeth - ghost reveries special edition has a good amount, as well as lamentations.

arch enemy - burning japan has some video of the band mixing the cd with Nordstrom.

there's video online of the haunted and dark tranquility with tue madsen.

god forbid's last cd has alot.

ayreon's human equation has alot, it's mostly vocals though.

the haunted's live dvd has alot.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! I'll have to check these out, a band's DVD is never a bad investment (well ok, BFMV's disc was ).

Keep 'em coming if you come up with more!

New Dimmu Borgir has lots of awesome studio tracking and interviews, with Fredrik soloing tracks and stuff, or building them up.

 

[Gustavo_Loureiro]

Check the Machine Head web site too

Look here
and here!

Gorefest - la muerte (2005) fairly detailed descriptions about the recordings and the instruments/amps used

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Those Dimmu Borgir and Machine Head vids were very, very, friggin' cool.

Loved the contrast that Making In Sorte Diaboli made to the public image they give of themselves. "And this is the bathroom which is now occupied by... uh... Mr. Shagrath."

Machine Head - Through the Ashes of Empire bonus disc
As I Lay Dying - Sadows are security digipack edition

At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul Dual Disc Reissue (à la Classic Album kind of thing)
Classic Albums : Metallica - Black Album
Judas Priest - British Steel
Nirvana - Nevermind
Motorhead - Ace of Spade
Iron Maiden - The Number of the beast
Def Leppard - Hysteria

That Ziltoid video of Devin's stuff really disapointed me. I was expecting some actual info, but it was basically Devin whoring for products and displaying how he never really learned to play guitar properly.... All of his stuff that sounds technical in the least is a result of different tuning and isn't difficult to pull off. I was watching like "what the hell? o.o"

Cannibal Corpse's Wretched Spawn is a good one... probably the best I've seen that displays instrumental working of the guitarist and bass player. Of course they don't get into the technical tidbits that people need to know about gear, but who does?

 

[Daunt]

I have seen these bonus discs:

The Haunted - The Dead Eye ***
Hatesphere - Serpent Smiles And Killer Eyes **
Chimaira - Resurrection ****
Cannibal Corpse - The Wretched Spawn *****
Lamb of God - Sacrament ****

I added my rating to them

It's not like it's 'easy' to pull it off cleanly, though. Devin Townsend is an awesome guitarist - chalking that up to an alternate tuning is BS.

wtf??

this one gets my vote for one of the most ridiculous posts ever on this forum.
