Summary: What a rip off !
Review: ... Half the DVD/Video looks like it was shot on a hand held video camera. Terrible sound mix and awful editing.
These guys are the Kings of Trash not metal.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Sergeant Hartman...
Review: ...has the Code 2 DVD. On this DVD Dolby 5.1 is not working very well. The Code 1 Version I haven't heard. I also have four DVD Players on three DD 5.1 Systems. And of all my 560 DVDs, the Manowar DVD is the only one that doesn't work right.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best music film ever
Review: I bought this DVD first time I laid my eyes on it and I surely wasn't dissapointed! ManOwaR always delivers and in big style! Same here, we get a first quality, almost and 2 and half hours long film that covers recording of the Louder on Hell album, Hell on Wheels tour from 1997. and many other things from ManOwaR's life (travelling the Europe on Harleys, fooling around with hot babes, meeting the fans, drinking, partying etc.). This is really a rocket ride with the best and most important Heavy Metal band in the universe.
I already had VHS version of this video, but the DVD is much better, esp. soundwise (5.1 digital surround sound is guaranteed to blow your roof off!), but the picture quality is also perfect (and thankfully not in wide-screen for us poor guys without such TV-s). Plus you get additional 14 minutes of footage that VHS version didn't have.
If there ever was value for money, it's this disc in my humble opinion. Everything is here: the songs, the warriors, the fans... and everything is in full glory!
Buy this video and find out what True Metal is all about!

Summary: Hell on Earth Part I
Review: I have been very excited when I opened my postbox and the DVD was inside, but I was shocked when I heard the first time the DD 5.1 Track. There is only a very thin stream sounding like DD 1.0 or less. Only during some seconds while the captures change full sound is available after that it sounds like if someone turns off the loudness. Poor Manowar...first they have had trouble with the video-sound now the DVD is released with a very bad DD 5.1 stream. If you change over to DD 2.0 full sound is guaranteed. The DVD is worth to be seen, there is really all included...but sometimes the posses of Joey DeMaio are too much.
And now quick add to cart this item...turn up your home cinema system and enjoy the show...

Summary: Manowar:hell on earth part 1
Review: if you are a fan of MANOWAR (if you ever listen to them you will be)you will love this DVD. great sound in DD5.1 or 2.0 no matter what sergeanthartman says (he must not have a dolby digital decoder). the only reason it's not five stars is there is not enough music and too much posing by Joey D.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kings of Metal
Review: If you are a true manowar fan and don't already have the VHS, then there is no excuse for not getting this DVD. It's that simple.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Joey DeMaio: King of Metal & ... Posturing!!!
Review: Let me preface this review by stating:

1. Manowar are the greatest band of all time; and

2. Generally, I am not a fan of music video or DVD.

That said, as a lover of all things Manowar, I was compelled to purchase this DVD.

This DVD gives the viewer an insight into the world of Manowar, both on tour and in the studio. Some people have taken issue with Joey DeMaio's "posing" on the DVD. In my view, Joey DeMaio's posturing is the most outstanding highlight of this DVD. Really, would you expect, or want, anything less? It was great to see that his sheer force of personality matches the power of his song writing and thunderous bass guitar!

Manowar are not just "a band." Their music, with brilliant musicianship as a foundation, is anthemic, powerful and triumphant. Above all things, it is positive and makes you feel great. This DVD is no exception: completely overblown, outrageous and bombastic. That is - 100% Manowar.

One thing is certain - you'll have a smile on your face the entire time and for mine, that's what it's all about.

PS: Joey - I've observed the style, the moves, the facial expressions and have taken them onboard. Superb stuff!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unless you are a diehard Manowar fan, skip this and buy 2&3
Review: This was the best we could get for a casual fan of the band at the time. Seeing Parts 2 & 3 later really make this unnecessary. If you haven't bought this yet, don't! Buy Part 2 followed by Part 3. That will give you these guys live. Beware, they do take themselves WAY too seriously!
