Metallica: Cunning Stunts

This tour(1996) was the first time i saw Metallica live and i was 16 years old(29 times now) and I was blown away by the energy! I think this dvd really capture that. It is not that polished and kind of raw. A must see! Not only for fans of Metallica but for any fan of live music! Cheers from Sweden!

This "Documentary" changed my way of looking at concerts on video. At first I thought they were all alike: boring two hour concerts where you can't hear what the dude says let alone what he sings. But with CUNNING STUNTS it was different. Metallica gave it their best on EVERY song and gave everyone, including me, a great live show (Even if it was on tape).

I love metal and this concert shows that metal still lives!!!

What else can you expect from the greatest band ever? This is definitely the best concert DVD I have seen yet. Excellent video, sound, extras, quality. I am a HUGE Metallica fan and I was very impressed by this DVD. It is a must have for any fan. It is an excellent concert with a great set list. The only disappointment I had with it is that they didn't have songs like "Sanatarium" or "Harvester of Sorrow." That doesn't take away from anything though. It was interesting to see one of the first versions of "Fuel" live before it was officially released. This is a great disc at a decent price, if you have a chance to get it I highly recommend it.

Metallica is one of my favorite bands, and I think this is definitely a great tape. The concert is 100% performance from their "Poor Touring Me" tour. There are no interviews, or backstage stuff, (Only on the DVD there are backstage shots) but other than that, it's a great concert video. Some shots are black and white, some are aerial views of the band performing. A must have for the true Metallica Fan.

Having just launched the follow-up to the Black Album, Load, which came out 1996, the interest around Metallica was huge. Reaching Forth Worth, Texas, as the next gig, Metallica was up for recording it and putting out one of the best Live DVD's I have ever seen. Metallica giving 100% on stage playing classics like Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets and Nothing Else Matters this DVD really gets to you. With a lot of bonuses and multiple angles on some songs this DVD is worth seeing even if you don't like Metallica and just want to see some great live stuff.

What more can I say? I was not a real Metallica fan when I saw this movie but after I saw it I became a Metallica freak!
