As per the title the cinematography is in the hands of the six contestants but I gotta say it's SUBSCRIBE impressively coherent all things considered and captures the visceral concert experience quite admirably. Audio options include a choice of either Dolby Digital 2.0 or 5.1 Surround mixes and for the purpose of this review I opted just for the 5.1 and it sounds pretty great. The band is razor sharp and the audio is not overly polished or over-dubbed, it's live and raw and I would expect nothing else, it's pure rock n' roll blasting you from start to finish, a caterwaul of sound in the best possible way. PODCASTS Special features consist of a 42nd Street Drive-In backstage interview with Iggy, All My Heroes Wear Masks James and Scott conducted by Bloody Good Horror the six contest winners chosen Cadaver Lab to film the concert. The band Creepy Kitch speak to their influences early Dead Lantern Splattercast on, the transformation from Double Feature avante-garde noisemakers to a Dread Media bonafide threatening rock n' roll band, their sound, the recording Drunken Zombie of RAW POWER and what they Fearshop might do differently if recorded Fearshop.Com Metal Podcast today, song writing and the Horror Etc Stooges legacy. Also included are the submission videos from the contest winners, Horrorphilia definitely people who love music and are Stooges super-fans, it must have been JAFMP pure nirvana for them to have had this experience. Rounding out the disc Mondo Movie are two promos for the contest featuring Iggy Pop and Handsome Dick Manitoba, Motion Picture Massacre the singer of The Dictators, a classic late 70's NYC punk band and if you don't know Movie Brain Rot who they are I say to you go buy the BLOODBROTHERS album as quickly as Movie Meltdown possible, yesterday if possible. Lastly, an 8 page booklet with pictures and writing on the band and this performance from former bassist and Minuteman/fIREHOSE Now Playing frontman Mike Watt who is a world class bassist in his own right and has been Screamwave plugging away with the Stooges since 2003.
