DVD came way too late in this rich history of the band , hope they will release more of this as they are the REAL DEAL
SUICIDEL
This is the first DVD I have seen from ST. I have been a fan of them since their very first
album and always wanted to see them live but never did. Well this shows what they were
about. The players on this DVD are top notch musicians and Mike is just Mike on this dvd.
So if you liked Sucicidal Tendencies but never really knew what they were all about this
dvd will explain why they had an ST Army following. Thoughout the dvd Mike talks about
what they set out to do and why and explains fully what their intent was.
This is one top notch dvd and then music is at a level far above most punk bands. Todays
punk bands (if you want to call them that) can not hold a candle to this raw and powerfull
talented bunch of guys.
I was at this show. The entire night was called, "Waking The Dead" which included Flipper, FEAR, The Germs and Marky Ramone as opening bands.
The dvd doesn't do it justice... it was an amazing night.
NOTES:
1. Why the short set list? Why wasn't **Insert Song** played?
Answer- Since the Olympic Auditorium was purchased by a Korean church and was going to be made into a church, Suicidal had the opportunity to play at the Olympic as it would be the FINAL show there. Since ST has played at the Olympic many times in the 80s, they wanted to play songs from that era (pre-How Will I laugh Tomorrow) and trew in a couple newer songs. So that is why no songs from any album after 'Join the Army' were played except for 'Ain't Gonna Take It, We are Family' from 'Freedumb' and a newer song that has yet to be released.
2. Why isn't there any old footage from the 80s and 90s as Bonus footage?
Answer- Why should there be? If you really know about ST then you should know that ST has always been about moving forward and not re-living stuff that has already been done. The 80s and 90s line ups are LONG GONE.... MUIR, CLARK, PLEASANTS, BRUNER and MOORE are SUICIDAL TENDENCIES now (even thou Moore is not on the DVD). Get over the fact that Rocky and Trujillo are not in the band anymore. If you don't like the Rocky-Trujillo-less ST then MOVE ON and don't buy the DVD!! Simple as that! That is why there is no Bonus stuff from the 80s and 90s.
