Rock in Rio DVD

[Cyclonus]

Got it today, and wow, kicks ass....

Whoever said Steve is a bad director is silly, cause it looks great.... not too fast at all...

It really let me get to know the band members... this is what I observed:

Bruce: Jumps around, and overacts...

Steve: Shoots people with his bass, jumps like a rabit, and mouths the lyrics...

Nicko: Pulls faces, and has a belly...

Dave: Just plays, good and solid... no crazies from him... smiles...

Adrian: Disappears half the time... does a weird sideways headbang...

And I leave this guy last... because he's just damn FUNNY...

Janick: Doesn't really play the guitar... just wanks it off with harmonics and shit that never work... then throws it up in the air... spins it... wanks it some more.... attacks Ed... then strikes a pose.... pussyfoots around the stage looking quite the pansy.... HE'S JUST SO FUNNY...

But I liked it all.

Behind the scenes was pretty darn cool, and they had subs for those who can't understand Brit-speak... heh...

Bruce reminds me of that builder guy off Ground Force... they look similar...

Anyway... just another useless topic... \m/

I would have liked it better if they had included a 2.0 stereo mix along with the 5.1 surround mix. I dont have a surround system...and it sounds kinda odd in parts.

Nuclear Blast has Live After Death for sale on DVD...mmmm...Live After Death on DVD.

You can win Live After Death on dvd on ebay too

RIR rules, I still think the camera swithces too fast, but its a great show

 

[Soul of a new Machine]

I don't remember correctly but I think Adrian don't play more than 3 or 4 solos. What a lazy git
Also I like Bruce sliding on a wire from upperstage

It's not that bad of a DVD, I guess. I don't really have a problem with the epilepsy-inducing editing which some have mentioned, but it's still nothing compared to LAD and even Maiden England.

Here's hoping they release LAD officially on DVD one day with a buttload of extras!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yes, an official LAD release with extras would be the best!

I do love RIR though. I do think the camera cut away too fast, but when you just sit and watch it it doesn't bother me as much. Great performance though.

[color=#AOEOOA]Adrian is hardly on the DVD in comparison with the other guys.

As for Janick, well he is Janick.

Also the hidden pieces on the 2nd disc, ahhh the shaddow puppets, hehehe.[/color]

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yes, the shadow puppets and the playground had me in tears!

 

[salty]

How do you access the hidden stuff?

 

[Southy]

yea i agree how indeed?

 

[Aussie_Outlaw]

[color=#AOEOOA]It's hidden all over the place on the second disc.

In the menu screens, I can't quite remember who, since I haven't watched the second disc in some time.

I believe there are a few on certain people's 'bio' screens and one with the entire band on it where you pick which band member.

Someone who's looked at the more recently, will be able to say exactly.

Just press directions which supposedly dont exist on the menu screens.[/color]

 

[Southy]

geez thats just not indepth enough

 

[Spiff]

When you're on the second disc, just press up, down, left or right on various menu options, and if something is highlighted which wasn't there previously, then press enter and you'll have your easter egg!

Here's a more detailed list, seeing as I'm such a sweety:
