Summary: exploited - rock and roll outlaws
Review: For any punk fan, this is a must! The raw energy and aggression these guys dole out is insane. You may not understand what Wattie is saying in the interviews, but you definitly get the point. For anyone who says punk is dead, there wrong. Punks not dead.

Summary: HARD ON THE EARS !!
Review: I've been a fan of the band for 24 years now-am 43 at present-and thought this dvd would be icing on the cake of my vast Exploiteds material collection.Man was I wrong ! This is 2 VHS transfers onto one DVD.The first one-RnR Outlaws is interesting material in that it shows the band along their career,top of the pops presentation,extracts of several gigs with different lineups and material.Several of the interwied highlights the importance that The Exploited has gathered the bulk of their following outside the UK.So why on hell did the producer chose a narrator with such an awful cockney-londoner accent,who,to make things worse is mixed low in the bands loud racket ??!!We all know Wattie is very hard to understand,especially when he's done coke,like he had obviously before the interview.The guys tongue is stiffer than usual and hes forgotten to soften his heavy scotish accent like he usually does for interviews or on stage.Man I barely got 10 % of what he said,no matter how hard I tried!! The same,in a lesser degree,can be said of the narrator,heavy londoner accent,speaking along the bands loud racket.
Gary Bushell and the other interviewed are Ok,though.Picture quality sucks.
Now SEXUAL FAVOURS is a whole different story.A nice gig recorded somewhere in England in 87,with the Death Before Dishonour lineup,plays an 11 song DEMOLISHING set including FOUR songs from their WAR NOW and JESUS IS DEAD Eps,which are never present on their live or recorded gigs.Picture and sound quality is superb and even Wattie is more articulate to the point where you can almost understand him.I talked with him at the bacstage of his last Buenos Aires performance,he was ok and spoke clearly.
