DVD Reviews of Rockthology Presents Hard 'N Heavy, Vol. 2

DVD Review: Very Cheesy
Summary: 2 Stars

The video is really dated, too, which makes it unintentionally funny. One of the video segments for Doro was shot on some rocks by the ocean and there is a shot of this guy who looks exactly like Fabio playing a bass standing on the rocks (without a shirt of course) in the middle of nowhere. It's kind of like hair metal meets the Harlequin romance novel.

Then there is Malmsteen's band doing its best Warrant impression. One of the best guitar players in the world sinking to the level of Cherry Pie.

On the good side. Lita Ford was always a looker who could belt out a good tune and is in fine form here. But once again, the chopped up video editing style doesn't do her justice.

Some of the interviews revealed some interesting information that I didn't know before but for the most part they are way short on substance.

When this was originally filmed (the video doesn't say but it is obviously 89-90) hair metal posturing was pounding the final nails into the coffin of mainstream metal. Some people blame grunge but Rockthology proves we have no one to blame but ourselves.
