Good, But They Need to Release a New One, October 12, 2006
This review is from: Shinedown: Live From the Inside (DVD)
I got into Shinedown after the release of their second album "Us and Them." This DVD was recorded from the final stop on their 2-year long tour that supported their first album. I have a hard time getting into new bands, my musical tastes are firmly cemented between the 1960s-1990s. Shinedown, however, has struck a chord with me because of a few reasons. Every member of the band is very talented, but singer Brent Smith is most impressive. The guy can belt it out and could (eventually) end up in the realm of Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, and Bruce Dickinson. The guy's a true vocalist...Their lyrics are thought-provoking and their songs are catchy...Oh and judging by this DVD they're a great Live act. This is far from the best concert DVD I've seen; After all, this DVD features only songs from the first album. But the guys have a polished live act and the camera work isn't bad. It's clear the crowd there was really digging the show. I'm not going to bother including the set list, because it's probably on here somewhere. The bonus features are interesting (two music videos; Simple Man & .45) and a Bonus Documentary, which takes a look at the band...Surprisingly, they all seem like nice genuine dudes who really love their fans. I don't know if I'd buy this DVD (I got lucky and found a place that had it to rent), but I will definitely buy the next DVD they put out (if they ever do). Hardcore fans of Shinedown will like it a lot more than just casual fans and if you're looking for material from the 2nd CD, you'll be very disappointed.
GRADE: B+

Excellent, however, far from PG, October 20, 2005
This review is from: Shinedown: Live From the Inside (DVD)
This DVD is excellent. The live footage is great. The audio quality is excellent. Be forewarned, however, that there are f and s-words on this disk, as profanity is used during the show and during the documentary. Also, there are drug references, as Jasin Todd joked about Brent "stealing my drugs" and he also said that "drugs inspire me". So yes, this DVD is excellent, and it was $12 well spent.

Just Ok, August 24, 2010
This review is from: Shinedown: Live From the Inside (DVD)
I really like this band but the DVD was not that great. I've gotten the DVD of Breaking Benjamin and Avenged Sevenfold's live in concert shows and they were much better produced and included the entire concert. This DVD falls short by not including the entire show and also the fact that the singer is trying to over do the intensity in this show which you can tell was just for the DVD release because I saw them live and the singer was not like that. Pick this up if you can get it cheap but other wise I would get the Avenged Sevenfold one or Breaking Benjamin's one that comes with their Special Edition Phobia CD/DVD combo.
