Kick-Ass Metal DVDs

[Genius Gone Insane]

Hey I need some metal DVDs to blast on my new surround system. Which ones are the essentials? I already got Arch Enemy and Children o Bodom, and a couple others that came w/ CDs.

Got the new Maiden DVD dude?

 

[Metaltastic]

Opeth - Lamentations!

 

[slashvanyoung]

Depends on your taste. I used to collect concert DVDs, some of my favorites are:

Testament - Live In London (not much gimmicks on there but the concert is awesome <3 Sneap Mix)
Anthrax - Music Of Mass Destruction (the drums just sound über-awesome, overall mix is also great, comes with live cd and lots of bonus stuff)
Motörhead - Stage Fright (very costly production)
Metallica - Cunning Stunts (setlist could be better but otherwise a great package)
Maiden - Rock In Rio (IMO the best Maiden DVD output)
Slayer - War At The Warfield & Still Reigning (if you like Slayer, those are pretty good)
Megadeth - Rude Awakening (very good setlist)
Iced Earth - Alive In Athens (very intense show)

... more to come

Edit: Maybe - just maybe - in a few years, we can add Chinese Democracy No. 3 aka the Nevermore DVD to the list.

Machine Head - Elegies

PANTERA
3 VULGAR VIDEOS!!!

Machine Head - Elegies

Totally forgot about that one.

And the Pantera Home Vids are kvlt classics, but more like comedy than music. The donut scene with Yngwie cracks me up every time.

one of the best metal dvds, if not the best IMO is lamb of god - killadelphia.


dream theater - live at budokan i feel looks the best. it's very epic and cinematic.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

I Don't like FOOKIN DONUTS.

dream theater - live at budokan i feel looks the best. it's very epic and cinematic.

+ Live Scenes From New York and Score. They're all pretty awesome IMO. But I like the Budokan one best although they're not playing much of the old stuff.

I Don't like FOOKIN DONUTS.

You're unleashing the fookin' fury man!

Opeth - "Lamentations"

and


Evergrey - "A Night to Remember"

are my absolute favorites. Opeth are simply amazing and the DVD has really awesome studio footage. The evergrey dvd is also great with 6 hours of bonus stuff. Pick those two up for sure.

Evergrey - "A Night to Remember"

+1. Also, if you like them, Blind Guardian and Kamelot have some great DVD's too.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, "One Cold Winter's Night" is fantastic

 

[JBroll]

I know it's not metal or a DVD, but Porcupine Tree albums in surround are like a threesome, but better-smelling.

Dimmu Borgir "Death Cult Armageddon" DVD-Audio (5.1 24bit 48kHz, lossless packing...).
Kreator "Enemy Of God Revisited" nice concert sound (5.1) also has DTS 5.1 album mix.

 

[garry666]

in flames DVD is prety kickass

 

[kaomao]

The revamped Iron Maiden Life After Death DVD is the best Maiden so far, poor 5.1 mix but the stereo mix still kicks ass!!!!
The bonus dvd is amazing

 

[Skaldir]

Enslaved - Return to Yggdrasil

Don't know if it's surround also, but the stereo mix is amazing! And Enslaved are so good there..

 

[GeertSamuel]

Slipknot - Disasterpieces
Awesome surround sound awesome performances, awesome live mix!

also good
Dreamtheater - Live @ Budokan

(I'm listing DVD's that I haven't seen with anyone in the list yet)
