Rockthology, Vol. 1: Hard N Heavy

Amazon.com

Featurettes from the decade-old Hard and Heavy program are collected on Rockthology, with volume 1 starring hard rockers Aerosmith, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Alice in Chains, the Black Crowes, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Faith No More, and Smashing Pumpkins. Each 5- to 15-minute episode showcases band member interviews, snippets from video clips, and occasional in-studio or at-home footage. Highlights are Aerosmith's Joe Perry candidly discussing his group's drug use, Perry Farrell admitting to creative struggles after signing with a major label, and Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan bravely exclaiming they'll be around awhile. Otherwise, this ragtag, 85-minute collection isn't thorough enough to satisfy longtime fans and is too "inside" to attract new ones. Cutting between interviews and video clips kills the chance to enjoy either, and the shortest segments (on Alice in Chains and the Black Crowes) are so superficial they'll disappoint everyone. --Kevin Filipski

Not for you if you are looking for un-interrupted videos.......2006-03-16

I don't know what it is about people who produce these compilations. They seem to be convinced that us video music fans simply prefer to have people TALKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE VIDEOS!

I bought this thinking the interviews were separate from the videos and for about 6.00 used, how could anyone go wrong?

In short, if you are looking for the actual, complete, *un-interrupted* videos (or interviews) from these artists, save your money.

I've got an idea, how about a separate section for interviews??? - Ya think these might actually sell???

Too short to be pleasant.......2003-03-06

I'll admit, I bought this DVD for the sole purposes of watching the Alice in Chains and Faith No More sections. While the interviews with Alice and Faith were both really funny and well done, I felt that they should of been longer as I was expecting much more.
