American region 1 release. Double dvd in digipack with slipcase
Shot live on location at the Van Andel Arena in Grad Rapids, Michigan April 27th, 2005; Motley Crues Carnival of Sins is the live concert dvd of their sold out Red, White & Crüe world wide tour. Featuring their greatest hits” as well as new songs, Carnival of Sins is an unprecedented ALL ACCESS look at the band with behind the scenes footage and bonus material that will blow your mind.. Mötley Crüe delivers the concert that Rock N Roll has been waiting for. This is a two disc DVD and while it is not perfect, it is really good and solid. It opens up with a very funny and short cartoon on how Motley Crue got back together before the show starts with a great version of “Shout At The Devil ’97” (note that the back of the dvd specifies it as the original Shout at the devil) This whole concert finds Motley Crue playing (mostly) their hits and fan favourites from the 80’s (“Girls,Girls,Girls”, “Dr. Feelgood”, “Live Wire”, “Ten Seconds To Love”, “Home Sweet Home” etc.)with the addition of two Motley songs from the 90’s (“Primal Scream” and half of the ballad “Glitter”), their two new original songs off of their “Red,White,and Crue” anthology album (“If I Die Tommorow” and “Sick Love Song”) as well as two cover songs (“Helter Skelter” and “Anarchy In The U.K.”). Note the fact that this concert was made as a film, it looks like a concert that is a movie, and while I would have just preferred a concert, the whole movie/concert concept into one theme was a really good idea that works here. The camera does switch back from the band to the audience too often at the beginning of this concert but gets better at focusing on the band towards the end of the dvd and the live performances of the songs on here are really good. Nikki Sixx’s bass solo and Tommy Lee’s drum solo are quite impressive and not only are Motley Crue able to keep this dvd entertaining by not only playing most of their best material live and doing a great job at it, the midget onstage (who is sort of a mini Vince Neil) is hilarious and is a good supplement to the whole concert. There are a lot of bonus features on disc two of this dvd. There is a documentary on Motley Crue’s 2005 tour, a behind the scenes look at when Tommy Lee brings his “fan cam” onstage, a short and hilarious cartoon movie called Meet & Greet Disaster The Movie Blow It Up on Motley Crue along with three new music videos. These videos are the time lapse view video for “On With The Show”, “If I Die Tommorow” and the clean video for “Sick Love Song”. All of these videos are very cool and while I am a little disappointed that we cant have both the clean and the unclean video versions for “Sick Love Song”. So despite it’s little flaws this dvd is very awesome overall.
