I skipped summer school to watch this movie my friend just got and I will never go to school again! I learned everything I need to know from the Power of Salad. It's crazy - wild shows, rad rad rad music, funny stuff. The whole movie is great - but I LOVED the last 20 minutes of mind melting apocalyptic triumphant ROCK! The editing built to be as wild as the drumming and I couldn't turn away. I saw the band live last summer and they are a total mystery living in providence, ri, and I've never seen them interviewed until now. The filmmakers Glantz and Noe I never heard of before but do an amazing job of giving a feel for the band and the touring life, while maintaining the sweet mystery that makes LB so cool. The drummer may be deaf soon, I heard, so hang onto this awesome DVD!

The cartoons are really good too. They are super weird but make me smile so I like 'em!

This movie rules! Allright - enough blind enthusiasm, but this movie makes me feel that way. First off, the band, Lightning Bolt, proves everything "the powers that be" say is wrong because they don't have major label aspirations, their equipment is pieced together and repaired themselves, and they live in providence, rhode island, but they rock harder, play faster, and generally move an audience more than any studio produced band of the week any day! And there's only two of them! Now on to the movie - it's totally funny, fast, and captures some moments and feelings i've never felt watching a movie before. The camerawork and editing blew me away, and the sweet moments they captured and integrated with the incredible ROCK blew my mind. My only problem with this movie is that there isn't more! I guess my blind enthusiasm can't be held in... and i don't care!! Share this movie with friends!!

it's not as good as being there but tonsofun in its own way. really nice to watch and listen, and it makes you want to visit lubbock texas.
