More music tonight....

Backyard Babies: Jetlag - The Movie DVD
Swedish rock band. Great band and good music, but why they did this DVD? This is just a documentary, they could have made good live video....not this. Backyard Babies is one the best live bands in the world. You can watch this once, but if you are trying to watch this second time it´s just boring. Only good part of this DVD are those music videos, which are really great!

Metallica: Live at San Diego 1992 DVD
This DVD was recorded when Metallica was still one the best metal bands in the world. They had just released their hit album, but after that "Black" album I don´t think that they have done anything really good. "Load" and albums after that were just something I couldn´t listen. Maybe their last album was little bit better...at least they were trying to do something new. This DVD has all their old hits, there´s not really any bad songs on that DVD(....well maybe "The Unforgiven...." There are 27 songs on this DVD, so it´s hard to choose which are the best ones. Well...I just choose 8 tracks from that DVD: Creeping Death, Harvester of Sorrow, Blackened, And Justice for All, Fade to Black, Master of Puppets, One and Battery. Unfortunately they didn´t play so many tracks from "Masters of Puppets" album, which might be my favorite Metallica album...

Nirvana: Unplugged in New York DVD
What could I say about this DVD? It always makes me happy and sad at the same time. Beautiful songs, which make me happy, but if you think what Kurt Cobain did to himself it me makes so sad. If you watch those videos you might understand why he did that + read couple of books about Kurt and you will know why everything happened.
If you have this DVD or if you will ever buy this DVD, remember to also check "The Rehearsals" part of that DVD. Kurt even smiled sometimes! You can also find better version of "The Man Who Sold The World...."
Favorite songs: Come as You are, Dumb, Something in the Way, Plateau, Lake of Fire, Where did You Sleep Last Night and or course: The Man Who Sold the World.

My Dying Bride: For Darkest Eyes DVD
More metal music tonight! Some might think that this band is some kind of "death metal" band, if you think about their name. That´s not really true: if you read their lyrics you can find that the most of their songs have some words about love and romance. Of course those songs aren´t happy stories. Just suffering and bad relationships, so this band isn´t really happy one! Really "dark" band... I think that right word for them would be "doom metal."
I really like almost every song they have ever made, so just 2 favorite songs now: "For You " and "The Cry of Mankind."
