While I’m not a big fan of Epitaph’s Punk-O-Rama series, I was more than a little curious when they announced they were going to start up a DVD set. I figured that the idea had a lot of potential if it was done right. After all, it’s pretty hard to get to see most videos of Epitaph bands. I, for one, don’t want to sit around 40 minutes waiting for one to download on my computer. So once they announced the play list for the DVD, I was looking forward to it’s release.

Jesus people, quit shitting on other bands, its like you have nothing better to do. All of these bands are good when compared to mainstream shit. BTW most bands out of Sweden are great, don't pick and choose just accept that they are good. This DVD rocked. The Refused video, although not by any means my favorite band, was an amazing video, it really complimented the music perfectly. And for the record, the best band out of Sweden is not Millencolin, or that shitty surf cover band, but RANDY!!! Check out Randy, you will not be disappointed... About Rancid on the dvd...the videos are pretty similar,but I question if youve even watched them.Golden Gate Fields from s/t 2000 appears on the dvd,and it is in COLOR.Also,from the Lets Go videos,more appears then just the bands playing in a studio.Misinformers piss me off...And for the comment on the ...and out come the wolves videos,I expect them to make an appearence on the next volume.The NOFX videos on this disc are both classic.Guttermouth...I dont think I need to say much about them exept it isnt worth even viewing. a bunch of kick ass videos from what i call "the mother label" ill say hell ya no i'm not talking shit about hwm... i really like hwm. to the person below: HWM are apart of no "emo" trend, not even close. Its totally obscene that you would even think about saying that. HWM would eat your favorite band alive HWM is just some crap ass emo band...it PUNK o rama there shouldn't be any of that shit on there. Fucking Epitaph buying into a trend. melvyl, you talk shit on HWM, you will get shit on by 90% of the people that comment. nah i dont think so, there is only one ultiamte band that came out from sweden and kicked punk rock asses, that was NO FUN AT ALL, i personally think Mr.Brett made a misstake when he took Millencolin instead, NO FUN AT ALL would have been the better choice, well maybe in the future some albums will get reissued, like they did with Turbonegro. www.nofunatall.com if you want to hear the best european punk band i only said astream because if i would say for example "dramatic dynamics" you would have no idea about what i was talking about. astream!?! yeah a satanic surfers cover band is the best thing to come out of sweden . astream was the best swedish band btw jackasses. What happened to punk-o-rama tv? then you dont a very high standard, oh well if its fine for you... just take the video sorrow by bad religion, there are two versions on the net floaing around, not any of them has the quality of this version, not to metnion the annoying channel and ripper logo in it, taht pops up... quality looks the same to me. Oh and to the first poster: YOU CANT DOWNLOAD ALL VIDEOS AT THE SAME QUALITY FROM THE NET. Perhaps thats what you think, but most ripped videos are TV captures and VHS captures, digitalized in lower resolution and quality not to speak of the loss of sound quality. Well now that this is out, they will be also on the net sooner or later, but still they wont match the same quality and actually everybody who wastes his time to rip this DVD cant be smart, its cheap, its comfortable to use, and its a pain in the ass to rip a music video dvd, believe me, i did it. go buy it and you get a quality you wont get at any place of those videos, except if someone makes an image of the dvd, lets say that would be around 6 to 7 gb or higher... I wish the had put ALL videos on the disc, since it should have fit. If you think thats not possible, have a look at "Hang the VJ" DVD by Burning Hearts Records, most vidoes of that are shitty, but still, that doesnt make them smaller in size. Anyway great DVD hope more to come from Epitaph. 40 minutes to download one video?!? man, welcome to the 21st century well this was a pretty good review, but i do not see at all what it has to do with communism or socialism. so how about we ignore melvyl. oh yea, the bouncing souls video is awesome, again. "Most (99%) of you's ever lived under socialism or communism, so can't really comment on it." NOFX is real real good "Its the roc, holla!" i will not argue that james brown is the baddest mother fucker in show business. and i didn't say dennis invented the fucking micstand kick. i just think it is bad ass. get over yourself. dave cheppelle is great. "...when dennis kicks the mic stand and grabs it back, he defines rock star." Most (99%) of you's ever lived under socialism or communism, so can't really comment on it. socialism rules. all hail Cretien. Ok, honestly people, this is just sad... refused ARE fuckin dead. Please... not only is it a good song, it's proper english! refused is fucking dead First of all: Melvyl, you may be the dumbest fucker I've had the displeasure of hearing from in a long time. Here's why: "well i know, that you and i are through, i met the devil, like good drunks do. Years past, our friendship grew..." You are all dirty communists. it's a proven fact that melvyl doesn't like good music Hey Melyvl, what the hell makes democracy so great? Communism isn't great either, but quit thinking you know something.....because you dont. hey Melvyl, shut up. down by law is underrated I loved Refused..all hail Stallin! IF ONE MORE DVD/VIDEO HAS NEW NOISE ON IT I'M GONNA FUCK SHIT UP "New Noize" should be in every DVD easter eggs. It would've been good to put Bad Religion's "Broken" on this disc too. Oh well. i won this dvd off of punkbands.com so thats pretty good, i've seen most of the videos off of this already but the refused one is still my favorite. How much is this DVD? i am so glad to see that people are excited about the refused video. when dennis kicks the mic stand and grabs it back, he defines rock star. that video and band made this silly dvd worth however much it was. the others are merely filler. Buy it for the very entertaining documentary... and consider the videos extra. Great DVD release from Epitaph. Hope there's more where this came from. This has the "New Noise" video on it, thus making it worth buying. Buy this just for the Refused video, then stay to enjoy the Hot Water Music, Bad Religion, T[I]NC, and Descendents videos. this is worth it alone the bouncing souls true believers video. great video. As for Rancid videos, the ones that came off of ...And Out Come the Wolves have more of a plot to them. I love the little greg graffin face in the TV....classic. You can download all of these videos in perfect form. But otherwise this is a great dvd. |
