Okay, I know Amazon says it's not due out for another few days, but I just picked up a copy at Hastings. So, just in case you're curious what you get, here are the facts.
It's got all 17 of their music videos (plus two others that apparently never got air-time), 11 songs in concerts, and a couple of other bonuses.
I didn't have MTV growing up, but I really liked their albums, dating to their original self-titled one. So, for me, I think it's absolutely great to have this collection because I've never seen these videos before. "She's Got Issues" is my favorite at the moment, but they're all worth watching.
Anyway, future reviewers will probably have a better prospective because I'm won over by the newness of it all, but I still highly recommend it to anyone who's even a casual fan of the band.
Easily the best of the fifteen music DVD's I own.

This is definitely one of my favorite DVDs of all time. It has seventeen of the bands videos, eleven live preformances, two bonus videos, the making of Da Hui, Guy Cohen: Where is he now?, storyboard galleries, and a band commentary. This DVD has so much cool stuff it makes my head hurt to write every little feature. If you are a fan of The Offspring, this is a must-have and if if you don't really know who The Offspring are, you should get this DVD for the sole purpose that the Offspring are awesome. Here are the track listings:

1. COME OUT AND PLAY (KEEP 'EM SEPERATED)
2. SELF ESTEEM
3. GOTTA GET AWAY
4. ALL I WANT
5. GONE AWAY
6. THE MEANING OF LIFE
7. I CHOOSE
8. PRETTY FLY (FOR A WHITE GUY)
9. WHY DON'T YOU GET A JOB?
10. THE KIDS AREN'T ALRIGHT
11. SHE'S GOT ISSUES
12. ORIGINAL PRANKSTER
13. WANT YOU BAD
14. DEFY YOU
15. HIT THAT
16. (CAN'T GET MY) HEAD AROUND YOU
17. CAN'T REPEAT

BONUS VIDEOS: DA HUI and COOL TO HATE

this dvd has 19 music videos, 11 live performances,the making of da hui, and more. this dvd is so great that i watch it everyday. if you don't have great dvd, buy it as soon as you can.

This DVD contains all of The Offspring's music videos including the new song, "Can't Repeat" and 2 Never Before Seen videos, with the option of having a commentary. It also has 11 Live Concert videos. A small documentary on "Where is the "Pretty For A White Guy" Guy now? Plus three secret videos that you have to find....I would say that this is one of the best Music Video DVDs out there!

i am the recipient of this dvd as a birthday gift from the previous reviewer. it was ablast seeing quite a few of those videos again and some of them for the first time. anything that can help you see the pretty fly for a white guy dance anytime you want has to be great.

I'm not the world's biggest Offspring fan and actually purchased this DVD as a birthday gift. That being said, it was great hearing the songs again and seeing most of the videos for the first time. I really do miss the days when MTV actually showed videos... If you're a fan...I don't think you can go wrong.

First of all, I want to say the OffSpring is among my favorite bands. I have all of their disk, even the original self titled one before they cut the track they want forgotten.

This disk is exactly what it said it was, all of their videos as of the time of the disk release.

I have two problems with it.

First - the Original Prankster video is slightly censored. I have seen the uncensored version before, knowing an uncensored version exist I felt disappointed having the DVD censored. -1 star.

Second - this is the really big one - the disk is very heavily interlaced. The video playback looks great on my 36" CRT, but anything else the interlacing is so bad it can't be ignored. -1 star

If they were to re-release this with those two items fixed it would easily be five star.

This is one of the best music DVD's I've bought; not because it has a lot of live shows but because it contained a lot of video's and lots of extra's. The condition of the case and DVD were perfect.

If you are an Offspring fan who wants a nice compilation of their videos made during the first half of their career, then you will like this DVD. This DVD is not for the hard core fan but it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is.

This is a collection of the Offspring's music videos. Before you shrug it off as being a ripoff to pay for music videos that are available on Youtube, you should really know that this DVD's much meatier than you'd think.

It includes all the Offspring's videos up to Can't Repeat (from their Greatest Hits CD) all in excellent quality. We've also got optional full commentary from Dexter and Noodles on all of them except Can't Repeat. Watching these was bitter-sweet in a way, because The Offspring, at this point in their career, no longer seems to care much about making music videos (their latest seem to only be either fully performance vids or videos without them in it whatsoever,) and that's kind of too bad because their videos, especially those from the Ixnay on the Hombre and Americana period, are some of the most memorable I've ever seen, and it's great to see them again here. The commentary's informative and fun to listen to (I just really wish the usually more private Greg K would have taken part,) and that alone would be worth the $12 you'll pay for this DVD. But there's much more.


There's an interview with Dexter and the dude from the Pretty Fly for A White Guy vid, the "Making of Da Hui" vid, storyboards, a never-used "Cool to Hate" video from Ixnay, and 10 AMAZING quality live performances, edited perfectly with some of the best performances from the band...really great stuff. The energy demonstrated, especially on the Splinter tracks, is pretty incredible. I saw The Offspring live once (during their Conspiracy of One tour,) and this video really makes me want to see them live again, it sucks that they didn't do a major US tour in support of Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, hopefully that'll happen this year...but yeah, the live videos would also have been worth spending $12 bucks alone for, because Offspring fans are going to love them....they demonstrate why this band's so amazing...some of the live tracks sound even better than their album versions (Dexter's voice and vocal style has, in my opinion, improved vastly from the Smash days,) and of course having all the Offspring's videos available for easy access (with again, great audio and visual quality) is a big bonus. Seeing videos from the 1990's is also, of course, a very nostalgic experience as well.

Every Offspring fan owes it to themselves to pick this collection up, it's a great find and although I owned it for years I hadn't gotten around to reviewing it until now, but somehow it was even better a watch to me now than it was when I first got it.

Good stuff.
