Keep away from the heat this summer by staying indoors, cranking up the AC and watching the hottest rock artists on DVD. Here are four discs that have come out recently that MusikBLITZ recommends:
Black Label Society's Skullage (Eagle Rock Entertainment): This 115-minute disc from heavy metal guitarist Zakk Wylde's main band features live footage (including acoustic performances of "The Blessed Hellride," "Spoke In The Wheel" and "Stillborn"), several of the band's music videos, interviews with Wylde (about the late Dimebag Darrell, the motivation behind his music, his guitars and more), a visit to Zakk's home and other great stuff. Also available is a 2-disc Skullage package with the DVD and a CD featuring 13 of BLS' biggest songs. Visit BlackLabelSociety.com for further information on the group.
The Doors' From The Outside (MVD Visual): This new documentary, available July 14, tells the story of the legendary band by those who personally knew the group, including Jim Morrison's widow Patricia Kennealy-Morrison (who rarely speaks on film about her relationship with Jim and the band), Village Voice editor Richard Goldstein who was a close friend of the quartet, blues musician Mark Benno (who played on a few tracks on the L.A. Woman album) and a bevy of journalists and others who were affected by The Doors' music as it was happening. Additionally, From The Outside contains rare footage of The Doors performing live and in the studio, seldom seen photographs, news clips, location shots and much more. Check out TheDoors.com for details about the group.
Ted Nugent's Motor City Mayhem (Eagle Rock Entertainment): This new live release, available on both DVD and Blu-ray, features the singer/guitarist's 6,000th concert. Shot on July 4, 2008 at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Nugent's hometown of Detroit, the program features performances of nearly two dozen of his classic songs (like "Stranglehold" and "Cat Scratch Fever") and guest appearances from Derek St. Holmes, Mitch Ryder, Johnny Bee and Ted's original guitar teacher Joe Podorsek. "The whole night was a barrage of wonderful, powerfully stimulating outrages," says Ted. "It was nonstop mind dazzling intensity." Updates on The Nuge can be found online at: TedNugent.com.
White Lion's Bang Your Head Festival 2005 (Frontiers Reocrds): This DVD captures the melodic metal band's gig at one of Europe's largest music festivals back in June 2005. "We took the stage to a thunderous roar from the massive headbanging crowd and leapt into our set," says frontman Mike Tramp. "The show was one-of-a-kind." In addition to the concert (featuring favorites like "Broken Heart," "Little Fighter," "Wait" and "Radar Love"), the disc has bonus clips from a U.S. tour and a full-length interview with Tramp.
