Rating: Summary: Great playlist...what could you expect? Review: Early days...Pete Fineston on drums kit, Greg Hetson with long hair, a bit more hair on Greg Graffin's head and now-millionnaire Gurewitz dressed in Converge...THAT'S AWESOME! Now, about the music. Hard to believe Suffer was for once called 'the brand new album' from Bad Religion. Lots of songs are from that cd, plus earlier work like Frogger, Drastic Actions... Really great compilation. Graffin shows on earlier songs how unique and incredible lyricist he is. He should have been president, but eh...you can't always get what you want! And for those who are complaining about the sound, I think it adds some charm to the whole thing, plus, it's only punk rock right?
Rating: Summary: I hate to say it, But it sucks (someone has to say it) Review: First, I do not want anyone to think I don't like Bad Religion after this review, I like them alot. Im not rating the band, only this DVD. I picked up this DVD the other day because I have heard a handful of this bands songs, seen a couple videos and I liked them alot. I picked up this DVD, which is live footage of a concert plus live footage of a riot that follows the concert afterwards. Anyway, Im thinking of something good to say but I am having troubles: The sound was terrible. You could not hear a word the singer was saying, the mix was the worst I have heard so far for a DVD (even worse than Iron Maiden's DVD, for those of you who know what Im talking about) Besides this fact, the footage is very unprofessional too. This band put more money into their videos than this DVD. I felt robbed of the money I spent on it and begged the store to take it back. Thank God B***hing about it got me some where, because I got to trade it in for another band. Im going to try really hard to squeeze out some good points about this DVD, just to be fair: It has a ton of songs on it, Its kind of interesting to see the riot, I like the 21st century digital boy song (although you could barely hear it), This DVD Might be worth a rental, but it is not worth owning it. Sorry, best I could do. Long Live Bad Religion - Die soon, this DVD! Maybe you can use it as a frisbee :)
Rating: Summary: Really cool Bad Religion DVD Review: I must say that this DVD is not a Hollywood Magical Production. It's reality punk rock from the gutter. A historical milestone in the genre. Produced on video and packaged well, for the dvd format. The features are great, comments, the backstage footage is cool too, and the concert at Devonshire Downs is really awesome of the bands "suffer" tour from 1988. The sound quality is a little raspy in the first song, Greg Graffin is a little drowned out, but the mix is better after the first song, and you can hear the vocals, bass, drums, guitar, it's rad footage with Graffin, Greg Hetson, Jay Bentley, Brett Gurewitz, and Pete Finestone on Drums. This is the original line up. Two songs; Part III and Doing Time are professionally edited with awesome sound and multiple camera action. The full concert has a real raw sound, it's really good stuff. Pure Punk Rock the way it's meant to be. The riot is what was used on ABC news in 1990. Lots of reality action from inside the theater as the show gets shut down, and some slow parts, lots of glass. I give this DVD/video a B minus, with a C plus audio. A great colletors dvd worth every penny. If your afraid of punk rock reality don't buy this dvd.
Rating: Summary: What were they thinking Review: Picture yourself standing behind a pole watching a concert. You would have been better off that the view you get from this video. I can't believe the Bad Religion boys would put out junk like this. The audio and video quality is terrible, absolutely terrible. There are plenty of songs to see them perform live, but your only perspective is off the stage to the left with a tiny camera held in someones hand. Don't waste your money on this.

Rating: Summary: Awesome Bad Religion Riot DVD Review: This Bad Religion DVD is one of the greatest punk rock dvd's out today. It's low budget, low quality, raw reality, from the streets of Los Angeles, "better then Watching the News" it portrays punk rock the way it really was. Not like todays happy bubble gum Blink 182 or Green Day overproduced mainstream punk rock. This Bad Religion DVD gives you the feeling of; "like you're being there". It's fully underproduced in true punk rock form. This DVD is everything punk rock. If you're a punk rock fan, Bad Religion fan, or DVD collector this DVD is awesome for you, and is a great time capsule ride back in time. You can hear Greg Graffin sing all of your favorite oldSkool Songs clearly, with Riot footage from ABC's World News Tonight,(lots of Glass) Plus great backstage bonus footage, directors comments, and DVD features... it's everything cool with Epitaph founder Brett Gurewitz on guitar, I'm really glad I bought one of these, and you will be too! There is no Hollywood make believe with this DVD. Its the only real life reality punk rock dvd of it's kind. with a total of 17 songs; --we're only gonna die, part III. part II, damned to be free, how much is enough, doin'time, you are the government, yesterday, land of competition, bad religion, politics, f**k armageddon, voice of god, frogger, drastic action, when, 21st century digital boy,... which looks dark on the dvd but is cool never before seen sound check footage. I had to order mine because they were all sold out. Get one of these before they're all gone. Audio C+ Video/features A ...
Rating: Summary: Bad Religion riot dvd way cool for school Review: This bad religion dvd is the (...)! It's total punk rock chaos. I had heard it was (...) so I bought one because punk rock (...). When I watched it, I realized I had something that gave me the chills because I just recieved an oldSkool history lesson that I did not expect. The footage was raw and raspy and I felt like I was really there. There are 17 songs from the bands Suffer tour, plus bonus footage that you don't want to miss. I cranked it up so loud on my stereo that it was raunchy and distorted and made my ears bleed just like punk rock should do. I e>mailed L.A. Access Video about future releases. I was told about a 2002 release with legendary punk band T.S.O.L on dvd with bonus footage and the original drummer Todd Barnes. I give this bad religion dvd an A- for video features, C+ for the audio. Punk Out!

Rating: Summary: There is more "Bad" about this DVD than just Religion. Review: This DVD has VERY terrible sound and VERY low budget video footage. The only good thing is it has alot of songs, and the riot is somewhat interesting. Bad Religion is a good band, but this DVD is awful!! :( You will feel ripped off if you buy this!! Borrow it first, if you can, before buying it!!! I guess this DVD could always be used as an expensive cup coaster.
