(sic)nesses – Slipknot live at Download
Ever since the sudden and tragic death of Paul Gray the future of Slipknot has been in much doubt. According to Slipknot they were going to release this DVD even if Paul hadn’t passed away and from watching this epic concert it is very clear why. Great clear audio quality and mesmerising visual content combined; make this a live concert you will appreciate for a long time to come. This being one of the last concerts that Paul played in gives this DVD huge sentimental value. Numerous camera angles lands you right in the heart of the concert and grips you from the moment that (sic) starts. Fast paced songs means you charge through the set at breakneck speed. The atmosphere of this DVD makes it feel like the 80,000 festival goers are with you in your house. Slipknot has always been renowned for their visual interaction with immense light + pyrotechnic displays and of course not forgetting the signature drumming upside down of Joey Jordison in Spit it out. The sheer scale of this live DVD is phenomenal whether or not you are familiar with all of Slipknot’s work it doesn’t matter as the Slipknot family embrace you in this live extravaganza. There are a few minor issues with flags being in the way of cameras + slight jitteriness of the panning cameras. Apart from that this is truly an epic experience and IF, we don’t get to experience another Slipknot live concert then this is testament to their whole catalogue and what the band is all about.
(sic)nesses - 8.5/10 definitely worth buying.
