Product: Dead to the World [VHS]
Rating: 3.0
Dead To The World - Average
"Dead To The World" is a satisfactory live video. I felt it failed to recreate the atmosphere of Manson's controversial "Antichrist Superstar Tour." It showed blurry clips of religious groups protesting, which were boring and very annoying. Manson is featured for most of the band clips. It is hard to hear, or comprehend what the hell he's talking about because the sound is so loud and distorted. The backstage footage is understandibly crude because it was filmed on a camcorder. This footage efficiently shows what a waste of human flesh Manson's bandmates are. The live performances definetely save this video. I was quite pleased with the performances, the best being "Antichrist Superstar" where he portrays a fascist dictator. "Lunchbox" was a crowd pleaser. "Angel With The Scabbed Wings" was a good opener. "Kinderfeld" and "Sweet Dreams" were so eerie, you just can't turn away. "The Beautiful People" and "Irresponsible Hate Anthem," were very ordinary, however. I was very dissapointed with "1996" where only the chorus is played by the band. If you are a fan of Marilyn Manson, then you will enjoy this video. Musically, the performances are awesome. If you aren't a fan of his, then you won't like it at all, so save your $20 and hope for a Britney Spears video.
