 Anthrax delivers. May 6, 2008
P. Bouchor (Seattle, WA USA)
Never disappointed in the band or their performances. This DVD is just crunching, pounding, neck-snapping metal at it's finest! They have such a huge library of songs to choose from that they are bound to leave off someone's favorite. Good mix in the setlist, it's not a "greatest hits" compilation. Great sound, great energy. Highly recommended!
V-Cool Combo!! September 3, 2006

This is a very cool combination...CD/DVD both in the same package. I really liked the DVD....Seeing John Bush sing some of the great old Anthrax tunes really was entertaining. I was surprised how small of a stage show 'thrax had though. It appeared as if they were the opening band or something. Then I took the CD to my car, and played it about 10 million times or so....IT CRANKS OUT!!!
Awesome!!!!! Must Have June 24, 2006

I bought this after going to the reunion tour with Belladonna and after watching it I couldn't stop thinking how much better and lyrically creative a frontman Bush is, buy this and compare it to Alive 2 dvd and you'll see this one blows it away. The Belladonna Anthrax version is an oldies show, they really need Bush back - if they want a future. I still can't figure why at the reunion show when they showed Bush on the screen before Anthrax came on, everyone booed him?

Continuing the trend of metal bands that are giving fans the most value for their money is Anthrax and their release of "Music Of Mass Destruction". This Live DVD and CD piece is a good way to enjoy the music of Anthrax in your own "Safe Home" as there is no way to be "Caught In A Mosh" if you do that (of course that depends on who you invite over to watch and how much room you have where you entertain). The recording was filmed during the tour which supported the release of "We've Come For You All" and it is chock full of Anthrax standards and some of the newest material from this killer CD. A full 18 songs running about and hour and a half. You are bound to find some of your favorites on this one. I really liked the inclusion of "Got The Time" and "Antisocial" as for cover tunes, Anthrax certainly managed to leave their mark on them for the future. I also was a big fan of "Only" and wish more music from "Sound Of White Noise" was featured since that particular CD was a killer also.
Looking past the video, I think the aspect I liked most about this piece was the inclusion of the live CD. By doing this you have killed two birds with one stone as far as product goes. You can now grab the CD and go to the car or use your walkman and bring Anthrax out with you. I felt by that by doing this they allowed the band to generate more positive sales numbers. The increase in music video sales has been widely noted, so this gives fans of each medium the product they desire. No longer do they have to choose between one or the other when you package them together at an affordable price. Separating them might have caused a good amount of product to be sitting in discount bins for a long time. Metal sales are growing again, but we still have a lot to accomplish in the USA.
This DVD is the last live video piece to feature their bassist Frank Bello, who left the band shortly after this was filmed. John Bush still handles the vocal chores and is good in a live sense; however sometimes the older material where you are accustomed to something in the high register it is not present. He is a great front man and gets the audience going big time, but high notes are not his specialty. Charlie Benante is still amazing as always and his drumming is still consistent if not better after all these years of touring. Scott Ian stomps about like a madman and really shows that he still loves being in this band some 20 years after they first started it.
I felt that this will appeal to casual fans of the group as well as the die-hards. Check it out when you can.
Bonus Features: The features on this DVD are some bio material and an interesting interview with artist Alex Ross (who designed the album cover for them).

Hey, if you have complaints you should probably shut up if you werent actually at the show, i was, it was fantastic and they did a good setlist. if you have been to plenty of anthrax concerts ok, thats fine, for those of you who have not, stop talking. This is a good dvd to start with, ok, what do you expect, its not studio recorded and its not a giant venue, its a little place across the street from wrigley. i give this dvd and cd set a definate 5 stars. this concert is probably the best 25 bucks i have ever spent in my life. please do buy the dvd and watch the special features too. for under 20 bucks you can witness it too.
