Title: An experience for sure.....
Product review: A friend of mine loves this band, and he insisted I watch this DVD. Surprisingly, I liked it very much, even though there were times I was laughing at the sheer silliness of it. If you like thrash metal played very loud, very fast, and love watching a lead "singer" who looks like Gollum scream, this is the DVD for you. Most of the time these concert DVD's are not particularly well filmed, but this one is. There is some startling split screen effects and excellent camera work, which is something one doesn't normally associate with stuff like this. The crowd is really appreciative of the band (Strapping Young Lad recorded this in Vancouver, their home base), and their drummer is phenomenal. He's a really big guy, yet he has incredible dexterity for a man of his size. He also mugs a bit for the camera, and it's very funny. This was my first experience with Canadian thrash metal. It may be the last, though I'm not sure. Still, it's an experience.
