Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
It's really my fault that I didn't read the fine print. The DVD only works on a european machine. But the CD works great. The seller was fantastic! They answered my questions promptly. I bought this really for the CD for my sister, so the DVD not working wasn't a big deal. I only give it 3 stars because if you are using a DVD player, make sure it's compatible
The sound quality is pretty good. I can't quite figure out why the CD songs are sequenced differently than the DVD. Not a "must-have" but definitely good for anyone looking for a solid overview of Idol's whole career.
It's a MUST have if you enjoy rock n' roll!!! He tells all stories about how songs were composed at the time..very interesting and ou course, very good music!
I had known of this release for years but never took the plunge till this "best buy" version. Its Billy Idol stripped down and raw. Gone are the drum machines etc. You get to hear how the songs probably sounded on the demo tape before all the studio gimmickry was added.
I found it to be very enjoyable and listen to this more often than the original versions of the songs. They have more energy and rock `n' roll than the LP versions. It makes me feel that Billy Idol proves he was more than parody of a rock star but was very capable of writing some great pop/rock songs and performs them exceptionally well live.
The track listing is very similar to a greatest hits album with one or two Generation X songs thrown in. Highly recommended to Idol fans and to anyone who always thought that Billy was just a joke! Personally I think this proves his doubters wrong.
Oh! And there's a DVD of the show too! I do wonder how he still looks the same age as he did some twenty years ago, must have forgotten his punk roots, and gone for a bit or maybe extensive plastic surgery?
Absolut spitze ein Muß für alle Billy Idol Fans.Absoluter Hörgenuss.Die DVD ist der Hammer.Die Songzusammenstellen überzeugt.Von Generation X bis in die jüngere Zeit von Billy Idol.
Mit dem Alter wird er ruhiger und runder im Vortrag - dazu die genialen Gitarren-Sätze von Steve Stevens - so wird sogar Punk-Rock zum Genuß. Daß alles auch als Video beiliegt, ist ein nettes Extra.
