 Mudvayne review Jan 02, 2009
Everything else is basically already reviewed on this one, but I own something like 20-30 dvds of metal bands, so I'm only reviewing the content of the 'backstage' and 'concert' and I know what I like, so anyway here we go.
This DVD is a good balance between 'backstage' and 'concert.' With an option to view just the concert, which is a nice bonus. The concert won't disappoint, and more importantly, the backstage won't make you hate the band.
So if you want to learn more about Mudvayne, it has good 'backstage' and if you want to listen to Mudvayne in the background, this won't disappoint either.
It's my first review on Amazon, give me a break. :P

 This DVD IS EMBARASSSING!!!!!!!! Jun 22, 2008
First off, Mudvayne should have prepared to make a DVD. Every time the camera is in there face they are either flipping it off, or telling the camera man to get out of there face, or not right now, or denying to be interviewed. I found they band as a hole, except for the guitar player, to be extremely cocky and rude. The do not have any reason to act the way that they do. They are not that good. Take a band like In Flames; one of the greatest bands ever, and there DVD is fantastic. They are so down to earth, professional, and have great ethics. They play perfect live as well. Mudvayne slotters every song that they do live. I felt embaressed to watch this DVD. I am a long time drummer and Matt's concept of timming live is horrible. Actually the band as a whole are all over the place. I would never pay a dime to watch these guys live. And to add to the disappointment is there attitudes as well. I will not support this band because they are simply not cool people, they dont respect the music they create in the studio, they are half rate studio musicians, they cant perform what they do in the studio live. That to me, as a fellow musician, is garbage. I will go and see a $5 dollar show before I were to spend money to see Mudvayne.
If you want a kick rockin DVD buy In Flames' Used and Abused "In Live We Trust". That is the best I have ever scene.
BOOOOOOOO MUDVAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Is it wrong that I don't love this? Oct 01, 2005
I love Mudvayne, they're one of my favorite bands, but this DVD is merely above par. The concert portion is pretty good, despite some sound quality issues. I thought the vocals overpowered the band, and I also thought the vocals were lacking. The behind-the-scenes footage between the songs was okay, but it mainly consisted of "Get that camera out of here." The high-point of this footage was the interview with Matt, the drummer. It shows just how intellectual he is. The World So Cold video is very good. One of the best metal videos I've seen in recent years. But once again, the behind-the-scenes of this video wasn't very good. I am really glad that they don't open up entirely to the camera though. That's a sign of a true metal band in my opinion. The Mudcam is pretty good. No big complaints there.
Now as anyone can see, the songs they chose to play live are impecable. It highlights their career very well (minus Beginning Of All Things). As I said earlier though, the performance as a whole is less than stellar. Chad has the ability to reach the screams he does on CDs live, and he shows that ability here, but he sounds so out of breath the entire time. The band would sound as near to perfect as you can get, if you could just hear them. The bass is very prominent, the drums are less, but you can still make them out pretty easily. The guitar however, almost sounds like it's not even there. Greg is a good guitarist, not groundbreaking, but still good. I don't know if they thought it sounded good in rehearsal and something just went wrong or what, but that's something they should've corrected.
All in all they did a good job with this DVD. They leaned more for L.D. 50 songs than they did The Beginning..., but hey, L.D. 50 is a better CD. The songs they did play from The Beginning... were some of the best ones from that disc though. The songs they performed the best were -1, Death Blooms, Not Falling, and World So Cold. It's worth the money, I'll say that, but let's hope the next DVD they release has better quality sound.
