Way to go, Amazon. May 22, 2009 The dvd itself is GREAT. However, I bought this new form Amazon, and it was scratched. I have to skip practically half the movie because it freezes up completely. Buy this form the store. Also buy walk with me in hell, which is even better.
killadelphia Jan 07, 2009 this is my favorite music dvd in my library. lamb of god is awe inspiring! great view of the band on the road. i've watched this one a few times and still lovin' it. the only downside for me was the fight segment towards the end. with that exception the band comes across very professional and their musicianship is amazing.
well recomended!!
Killadephia Review Apr 01, 2008 Great DVD that captures not only their intensity with live shows but a bit of the dynamics that make the band tick. The set list is also really nice - covers almost all of their hits up until Ashes of the Wake.
Chris Adler for president ! Aug 22, 2007 I am based in India,and I sincerely think you yankees should get adler as your next president.Anybody who can drum like the way he does HAS to be divine.Anyways,about the DVD - its a lot on the lines of Pantera's vulgar vids,but a lot lot better.My grouse with that dvd was that it focussed too much on the revelry to do justice to the musical genius of Pantera.This DVD has its fair share of drinking,smokin up,chicks,brawls ( some major drama there )and more,but it never strays from the 1 reason why anybody would buy a LOG dvd in the first place - THE MUSIC.The boys rip through a brilliant setlist and position themselves as worthy successors to Pantera as the new thrash metal titans. to Adler and Morton.The extra's are super cool too.All in all - A must have for thrash metal fans...

A spectacular documentary. Mar 25, 2007 The details that Amazon.com has on display for this DVD has several mistakes in it. Their list of the running time being "120 minutes" with "30 minutes of exclusive behind-the-scenes on the road footage," is completely incorrect. The DVD package clearly lists the running time for this documentary at 180 minutes, or 3 hours. Yes, this DVD does contain "Bonus Features", but Amazon.com didn't correctly list them in their description of this DVD. The bonus features are hidden easter eggs that lead to additional out-takes and deleted scenes, band and director commentary, "Soundcheck" segments, out-takes, and 3 music videos. This DVD does NOT include the CD with all of the songs that Lamb of God was filmed performing for this DVD. That is available for purchase separately, but I don't recommend buying it because the CD only contains live versions of songs from "Ashes of The Wake" and several of Lamb of God's previous CDs. So, you really can skip the live CD altogether. This DVD is all you need.
"Killadelphia" was produced by High Roller Studios, NOT Sony. However, it is manufactured by and distributed by Epic Music Video (A division of Sony/BMG Music Entertainment). "killadelphia" was directed by Doug Spangenberg, who is under contract with High Roller Studios. He also directed the documentary "The Making of Sacrament", which is the bonus disc included in the "Deluxe Edition" of Lamb of God's current CD, "Sacrament". Another very good documentary that you should check out.
"Killadelphia" can be viewed two (2) different ways. You can choose to watch ONLY the concert footage by itself or you can watch the feature documentary movie "Killadelphia", which is a combination of behind the scenes footage of the band while their out on tour promoting the CD "Ashes of The Wake" and doing a lot of other stuff during the tour and between gigs. There are numerous informal and semi-formal interviews with band members, the tour manager, and members of the road crew. There are also some very good examples of "Direct Cinema" style documentary filmmaking in several scenes. However, this documentary would was actually mostly filmed in a "Cinéma Verité" style.
(Filmmakers, film students, and film nerds will know what the terms "Direct Cinema" and "Cinéma Verité" mean. If you don't know what they mean, but you want to, please look them up.)
I highly recommend this DVD to all Lamb of God fans, heavy metal lovers everywhere, and aspiring documentary filmmakers too. The director, Doug Spangenberg, is a good director and he did very good job with this documentary. This is one of my favorite DVDs in my ever-growing DVD collection.
