DVD Reviews of Queen Is Dead: Album Under Review
DVD Review: Interesting, but I miss Moz and band members perspective
Summary: 4 Stars
It is very detailed. Producers (Steven Street mostly) and many other people that worked with the Smiths give insight and their view of each song on the Queen is Dead. They also review some of the Meat is Murder tracks and singles around the time Queen is Dead was produced. There are also guitar specialists that discuss the riffs and how it was similar to influences such as the Rolling Stones and Velvet Underground. I was a bit lost on this part because I do not know a lot of musical terminology and never played an instrument.
Except for Craig Gannon who joined the Smiths later on, there was not any current interviews from any band members. There was some classic footage of the Smiths singing, usually on Top of the Pops. Short interview clips of Morrissey from that time was also feature here and there. But mostly it was people that worked with the band.
I gave it four stars because I love anything with the Smiths and Morrissey. But, don't expect earth shattering info from this dvd. It is interesting, but it is just not the same when you do not hear from the actual band members, especially Moz. I found that a lot of Smiths movies and Morrissey books are like this. I guess that is why it says it is unauthorized on the back of the DVD. There is probably only so much they can say.
Morrissey is so inspiring and articulate when he speaks and writes. I can't wait until Morrissey publishes his autobiography so we can hear what happened from his point of view.
Description of Queen Is Dead: Album Under Review
If The Smiths had called it a day after Meat Is Murder, and never released The Queen Is Dead, they would surely still be seen as one of the finest British bands ever - a perpetual legacy was assured soon after their second album. But on June 16th 1986, wAlternative Rock Music CDs
