Black Label Society: Boozed, Broozed & Broken-Boned (DVD)

This thoroughly entertaining and ass-kickin' DVD from Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society truly lives up to its name, as the live concert from Detroit's Harpo Hall is a beer drenched extravaganza of metal brutality. The majority of the set's songs are taken from the album's 1919 Eternal and Stronger than Death, as this show took place before the release of 2003's The Blessed Hellride. Bone-crunching classics like "13 Years of Grief", "Bleed for Me", "Stronger than Death", "Genocide Junkies", and the mammoth stomp of "Super Terrorizer" are all played with sweat, dripping beer, and intense heaviness, while the frenzied Detriot fans mosh and headbang with reckless abandon. Rumor has it that the band, crew, and fans, drank every last beer that the Harpo had that night-that's a lot of brew!

In addition to this great concert, there are a slew of extras, including an interview with Zakk, live footage from Japan, the video (shot by Rob Zombie!) of "Stillborn", an acoustic set, up-close and personal guitar lesson, footage of Zakk playing the "Star Spangled Banner" at a hockey game, backstage buffoonery, and a touching and poignant home video of Zakk and his young daughter singing a song together. It's nice to see that this over the top, larger than life musician/rock star in a family setting, showing his loving side, which is a stark contrast to the looming, maniacal axe-slinger that you see ripping out guitar solos and meaty riffs in a sweaty, beer soaked venue. This DVD is highly recommended to all BLS fans, lovers of heavy guitar music, or the Friday night Miller guzzler' who can't be at a show but wants to drink along with a band.
