This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: The Barenaked Truth (DVD)

Actually, I have to say this is not something worth buying, even if you are a die-hard fan, which I can say without any doubt in my mind, I am. proof? i have drumsticks and picks from countless shows, shirts, cds, posters etc signed by all the ladies, and of course every ladies room cd and ep/demo/yellow tape/itunes recording they have ever put out... and i was truly dissapointed by this DVD, it is advertized as a live show with interviews, and that part is fine, but the only extra feature is you get to watch the interview uncut... no 'maroon foot cream' or DVD-rom features. if you know someone that has it, watch it so that you can say you have seen it. But I wouldn't recomend spending more than five dollars on this BNL item.

This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: The Barenaked Truth (DVD)

I've seen the negative reviews on this product, and I'm happy to say, it's not as bad as people are saying.

As a huge fan of Barenaked Ladies, I already knew I'd thoroughly enjoy this DVD.
It's set up like a Behind the Music sort of informational movie, except most of the usual anecdotes and stories a fan would already know are skipped. (They can be heard in the un-cut interview, though.)
There was a lot of old and rare footage used that I hadn't seen before, including clips of their time in the studio making Disc One. There were also many more personal glimpses at the ladies as well. Like seeing Kevin's own cottage, an interview with Tyler's wife, and seeing Steven's children.
Maybe that stuff isn't as important for a casual fan, but I felt that this DVD had enough interesting things to keep all fans entertained.

That being said, it's not a movie you would watch more than once or twice.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Die-Hard BNL Fans, June 28, 2008

This review is from: Barenaked Ladies: The Barenaked Truth (DVD)

There's 2 parts: The main video: interview sections & clips from various shows, and the studio interview on it's own. It's very informative, but redundant if you've read the biography by Paul Meyers. In fact, the book goes into more detail about each member & how they join the band.

I enjoyed this DVD, I love the band, I just wish it showed more of their live stuff from early in their career. Best to grab it on netflix unless you're a hardcore BNL fan/collector.
