5.0 out of 5 stars Guns, God, and Government, October 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Marilyn Manson - Guns, God and Government World Tour (DVD)

..."Guns, God, and Government is a rare look at one of the world's most controversial artist's lifestyles both on and off the stage. Shot throughout the U.S., Japan, Russia, and Europe this DVD spotlights the performance that has made Manson truly infamous. This DVD contains features which gives the viewer an 'All Access Pass' to off stage life and a glimpse behind the scenes as the tour takes the band from Tokyo to Berlin, Moscow to Rome, London to New York and everywhere in between."... The Death Parade is a 30 minute short film of the band's trip around around the world with the Guns, God, and Government World Tour. This includes Manson's trip to the Emergency Room, Degenerate Sexual Behavior, the first acoustic performance of "GodEatGod" in NYC, Manson performing with Eminem, and Burning Flag. There are many more shorts in The Death Parade including various concert footage, backstage happenings, lots of nudity, and religious people in the streets trying to ban Manson's concerts.

The total running time is approxamately 107 minutes. Audio options for the DVD include Stero, 5.1 and DTS. Overall, a very good show from Marilyn Manson. He puts a lot of energy into his shows and you'll see it on this DVD. So much energy that after the concert is over, he can't even stand on his own two feet! If you are a fan, you will not be disappointed. In the words of Manson, "This will help you see what it's like to be nailed to this wrecking ball".

5.0 out of 5 stars Despite what others may say...., November 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Marilyn Manson - Guns, God and Government World Tour (DVD)

-Many of these reviews have been writing prior to the release of this DVD, so their basis is off of guessing and expectations. Since the release of this DVD I've watched it beginning to end 3 times and looked it at all possible angles. From every perspective - entertainment, quality, material covered that was actually at the concert, replay value, etc.
-As far as entertaining, if you're a Manson fan and have never been to one of his concerts, this is an perfect look and near concert experience from the Guns, God, and Government tour. During which Manson experimented with new stage acts including the "holy garments" worn of clergy, different lighting and pyrotechnics which added great effects and new excitement to some of the older songs, and a platform that lifted him to the top of the stage.
-The sound quality of this is superior to any other DVD I've heard or seen. The image is crystal clear and the sound is beyond great. If you have a home theater surround system, this is going to utilize it perfectly.-
-Lastly, the DVD is shot in succession. The first hour and 20 minutes or so are songs played one right after another just as it would be at the concert itself. Rather than playing clips of a song, cutting to backstage scenes and clips then going on to another song or something of that nature, the concert is played in its entirety. Then there is a nice little 30 minute short film called "The Death Parade" that has all of Marilyn Manson's little endeavers on it, from backstage shots, to christians protesting the concerts on the streets, to Manson himself whiping chicks and throwing bottles at people. Its all great footage.
-Final words: There is no good argument that anyone can come up with that would be correct when trying to put this DVD down. Manson and his crew have done an outstanding job on the quality of this DVD. Audio and video are sharp, and crystal clear. Lots of great songs including Disposable Teens, Anti-Christ Superstar, Beautiful People, Lunchbox, Great Big White World. Anyone who puts this down is either not a real big fan of Marilyn Manson or is just smoking crack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rock is dead, January 6, 2004

This review is from: Marilyn Manson - Guns, God and Government World Tour (DVD)

The Guns, God, and Government World Tour DVD highlights Marilyn Manson's tour around the world by piecing footage together for the 17 song set and also includes a rowdy and downright hilarious half hour documentary. The live set nicely displays how great the stage shows are at a Manson concert; and the crowds respond with unabashed worship towards Manson and crew. Standout songs include "Irresponsible Hate Anthem", "Great Big White World", "The Nobodies", "Rock is Dead", "Cruci-fiction in Space", "Sweet Dreams", and "Lunchbox". The aforementioned documentary is a nice bonus, but for the price of this DVD, some other features could have been included, but all together this DVD is better than I thought it would be.
