DVD Reviews of Hell's Bells 2: The Power and Spirit of Popular Music- New DVD 6 1/2 Hours
DVD Review: Brilliant evaluation of the dark side of rock music
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an eye-opening examination of contemporary music culture. Hells Bells examines the historical, philosophical and (anti) Spiritual roots of much of rock music and points out its effect of much of contemporary culture. This is not just a religious screed or an uptight polemic. The video doesn't rely on interviews with talking heads or "hell fire" Pastors ranting and raving, rather, Hells Bells relies on video and the musician's and fan's own words to make its points. Also, there is plenty of historical background data and scientific observation to push the central thesis of the work. The video does not attempt to trash all rock music, or even modern music in general, but is an honest and open minded study on the dark side of rock and its implications for us all. It is another home run by Eric Holmberg and The Apologetics Group. A must see DVD. DVD Review: Even Better Than Hell's Bells 1
Summary: 5 Stars
I have cut and pasted the most of the review I did for Hell's Bells 1 because everything I wrote fits here and this is even better than the first.
An incredible amount of research went into this body of work. I also had it on vhs (both I & II) and was thrilled to get them on dvd.
As a music lover and musician and someone very interested in messages and content of music it is fascinating.
The video was produced by Christians but I didn't feel it was preachy, and I believe they went out of their way to say they are trying to provide information to help people make informed decisions, whatever they may be.
Personally I believe music has the power to influence moods and thoughts, so I want things that will encourage me with positive content, or at least neutral. If a song is glorying rape, drugs, treating females abusively or other toxic content I have no time for it. I can enjoy any style or form of music, but the content and message need to be something beneficial or at least neutral.
For people that would disagree that music influences moods and thought, I can share that last week I was feeling quite discouraged and I put on Jars of Clay's newest cd, Long Fall Back To Earth and I was inspired with hope much like meeting with a friend, and my mood was lifted up. I personally cannot say that I have experienced hope listening to music with negative or neutral messages, and I have listened to too many hours of music to count in my 40+ years with positive, negative and neutral messages.
I view the dvd's as unique documentaries on one of my favorite topics, and spiritually very encouraging. I don't think anyone is out to control anyone here, and I encourage people to keep open minds to some powerful content.
I also would like to recommend Hell's Bells with 5 stars as well. It is becoming dated and has some cheesy moments (like many things produced in the 1980's) but it is also fascinating and more focus on 60's, 70's and 80's era music.
Eagerly waiting for Hell's Bells 3!!
DVD Review: Excellent resource
Summary: 5 Stars
This dvd is PACKED with amazing information about the imagery and messages behind popular music, and how they tie into the popular worldview today, which is basically ANTI christianity at its core. The truth is undeniable, and is presented in a concise, and ordered way that is easy to understand. It covers a wide range of topics, very comprehensive. I am so greateful for this resource, and have watched it thru, all 6 hours of it, several times. HIGHLY reccomended!DVD Review: Rock & Roll Is Not Harmless
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this video twice and I will never look at music the same way again. A lot of the music groups I used to listen to are mentioned here and several musicians speak of what they believe. If you have a teen-ager, you need to show them (or a youth group at church) this video. This video is worth twice what I paid for it.DVD Review: Power of Music
Summary: 4 Stars
Hell's Bells 2: The Power and Spirit of Popular Music- New DVD 6 1/2 Hours
I found the DVD rather drawn out and not always easy to watch.
However, it was a wake-up call and I was amazed at the extent of 'brainwashing' to which we have been subjected over the years. As an 'oldie' the thought of Frank Sinatra and 'My Way' being potentially subversive was astounding - I was aware of his alleged Mafia connections. As a Christian I appreciated the closing episode.
