Summary: Fur for a while
Review: I borrowed this from a friend of mine, mainly because I wanted to see Rammstein, and I was somewhat happy with what I got, and somewhat not happy. I'm no fan of Limp Bizkit, hip-hop's not my bag, and Korn have disappointed me enough allready, so what I got was a mixed bag. I have no idea what lurks in the minds of the members of Rammstein (and I don't wanna know), but I am still a fan of theirs, and they played damn good live. I fast forwarded through Limp's set and Ice Cube's, Orgy's set was ok, and Korn's was pretty good, I just wish they would have played more of their old material. It's a pretty good concert/party video, but if you want the ultimate music home video, get any of Pantera's videos or their DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best DVD Ever
Review: First I should say im no fan of Ice Cube Or Limp Bizkit but i must give them credit for groups i dislike alot they did a damn good job on their performances. Orgys set was really good they should of had more time though they played both their hits (blue monday, Stiches) and did revival. I tip my hat to those guys. Rammstein well they were ummm really original with the whole fake ding dong and the fire but whatever. Korn took the cake they were the best doing "Faget" Blind" "A.D.I.D.A.S" and others you all must buy this DVD

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very bad DVD
Review: This is one of the worst dvds. The performances are bad and the quality is bad. I like Korn, Ice Cube and especially Rammstein, but there are better dvds featuring these artists than this one. And by the way Rammstein rules, watch their concerts on the "live aus Berlin" and "lichtspielhaus" dvds and you will see how a live performance has to look like.

-> this family values 98 dvd is crap

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Late 90's Hard Rock
Review: The Family Values '98 DVD is basically the same video released on VHS last year. You get 3 live performances from KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Rammstein & Ice Cube, AND in the DVD edition, a photo gallery from the tour. The visual quality was obviously enhanced for DVD, which is good, but remastering the sound for 5.1 surround would have been too much to ask (though standard Dolby Surround is present). Not the best hard rock/metal DVD available, but is a worthy concert video for fans of late 90's trend metal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great Live Video
Review: I bought the VHS version a while back after I bought the Family Values 98 CD. It is pretty good, it really is.

Positive's: A few really great songs, like Revive by Orgy and Jon, All in the Family by Korn AND Limp Bizkit, Counterfeit, Buch Ditch, f tha police, and more. Rammstein's great live performance, A few good Korn songs, and most of the other songs were pretty good also.

Negatives:

Absolutely nothing on Incubus. Not even a glimpse. This is a drawback because Incubus is and was a great live band during the tour.

Most of Orgy's performance was dull, and you could tell the crowd really wanted it to end soon.

Ice Cube really isn't my type, but it was amazing that he could get these fans who came for Punk and Metal music like Korn and Limp Bizkit to get really into him.

Some songs are the same as in the CD (Cambodia, Jump Around, Check Yo Self, blue Monday, F Tha Police, and more.)and I think that they are from the same concert, so the audio will be familiar but the video won't

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An above average concert video
Review: Family Values is a great video to own if you are a fan of any of the bands on the tour and just want to see live footage -- But if you want any really in-depth interviews, look elsewhere. For the most part, everyone performed well, and the performances kept my attention for the whole time. Here's how the band's did:

Limp Bizkit - Newcomers to the scene at the time, definetly the worst performance on the video. Fred walks too much like a duck during Counterfeit and his voice fades away all the time because he can't just stand still. Nothing against them or anything, but they did a really weak job. 2/5

Ice Cube - Probably the most interesting part of the tour. Ice Cube does the best he can with a rock crowd and wins over a few fans. One of the best moments on this video happens while Cube is performing "F--- tha Police" and it zooms in on some cop in the crowd with his arms crossed who looks like he's about to cry. It would have been nice to have seen Korn come out with him for "F--- Dying" instead of just sampling the guitar work. Still, a very very entertaining and energetic performance. 5/5

Orgy - Like Limp Bizkit, they were newcomers at the time and NO ONE was into their show. But they did a really good job performing and I liked the interlude they did before "Stitches." Really bad filming though on this part. 4/5

Rammstein - If you have the uncensored version, you know what this parts all about. Definetly quite a few moments to remember. When David talks about Rammstein being taken away by the cops, close your eyes. Trust me, it is very very gross. 4/5

Korn - Obviously the band that the whole crowd was there to see, and everyone obviously loved every minute of it. Lots of great backstage stuff, like the birthday party backstage, in between songs. Korn pull out some of their best songs, taking from all 3 (at the time) albums. The longest performance on the video, clocking in at about 45 minutes. Look closely during "All in the Family" and you can spot all the members of Incubus. 5/5

Overall, this is a great home video, and very fun to watch, but the filming was REALLY bad and the sound quality was horrible. More interviews with Ice Cube and Rammstein would have been appreciated. I suggest you buy this though, you really won't be disappointed.

(Just for the record: The reason why no Incubus performances were included on the home video is because they weren't officially on the tour. They came on for the last week or so to fill in for Ice Cube, who had to shoot "Three Kings." Just so you know.)

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: I bought this for the Rammstein scenes but theres not many. i do like the other bands but i expected more. If you want to see Rammstein live get (Live Aus Berlin) very good not a waste at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: better than I though
Review: With Ice cube being on here I was very IF'y about buying this, Im glad though I did now, there is still mroe than enough other stuff on here, even if you bypass the gangsta' rap! Deffinitly add it to your ROCK collection. This was the video that actually got be fully into rammstein! get their DVD, If you can get past the language barrier, then you will be hooked!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hard Rock Family Hour
Review: It rocks, it rolls, it has interviews, backstage and dressing room footage, good music and good times. There are kids all over the place, in the audience, on the stage watching their daddies jump, dance, wail and flail their bodies around. It even has a birthday party with a brand new batmobile touring car (I want one!), but most important it has Korn, Rammstein, Ice Cube, Limp Bizkit and Orgy. You should have both the VHS and DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every tour should make one.
Review: I actually got to attend the last show of this tour on halloween, and it was so cool to see a clip from that show with everybody all dressed up. The DVD gives a great essence of what it feels like to really be there, sans bruises and fractures. Anyway well worth the money for fans of the bands or fans of live music.
