This DVD was good I thought. It's an un-authorized biography of the band and it shows the band forming,coming together, and dealing with what came along the way. This video was created by the same people who made "Maximum Slipknot" the audio-biography. If you're new to Slipknot or wanted to know more about them, this is a great video to watch. It has interviews with old friends, acquaintances, band mates, and such. They reveal stories about the band members and how they came to become Slipknot. They also show pictures of the members (only some) without their masks. Although nothing on the footage is authorized by Slipknot themselves, it's still an in-depth look at who they are and what their peers think of them. They reveal some things in this video that I never knew, but have always wanted to know (such as sids tattoo'd fingers). In my opinion, if you're looking for a (sic) concert video or some Slipknot videos and/or work, this is not for you. This is simply a biography on the band, it's members, and their impact on the industry. I gave this 5 stars simply cuz it's informative, and it delivers what TRUE FANS (Maggots :D) want.....to have an inside look at who,what,where,when,how, and why Slipknot are.
I expected more from even an un`authorized biography
I agree with Juan. It is not worth your $20. Disasterpieces was amazing, but even for an un`authorized biography, I expected more. First off, they spelled Jim Root`s name wrong. Secondly, the quiz section asks who is in the Murderdolls. It kept telling me the answer was Sid Wilson. Save up for an authorized DVD; that`s my suggestion.
Not Another One
Jesus, I once got sucked into the garbage as well. These unauthorized videos are by far the worst things I've ever seen. Since they're unauthorized they won't show the band or any music or videos or anything that you'd expect from a band DVD. I've yet to find a good one. And trust me i've seen a few. $18 for something like this is not worth it. Wait for your friend to buy it, and borrow it from them. Unless you're a real hardcore fan of Slipknot then you don't want this. Just get they're DVD Disasterpieces instead. That was pretty damn good.
Unless you're a diehard music fan sitting and watching a live dvd can sometimes be boring if all the band does is play but for Slipknot this is not the case. Not only is the music great but the band is just awesome to watch on stage. I've been to a Slipknot show and this DVD really lives up to what a Slipknot concert is all about. From People = S*** to Surfacing the whole DVD provides unforgettable footage from one of the greatest bands of the nu-metal era. Also the DVD includes the rare song Purity which is a great sogn and it's hard to find anywhere else unless you illegally download it.

To put it bluntly, I am a huge fan of Mudvayne. And after seeing them live for the first time at the very Sanitarium Tour that is featured on this DVD (Wish it was my concert though: Orlando!), buying this was not just an option, it was a necessity.
Anywho, back to the actual DVD. Once again, the live footage featured here is from last year's Summer Sanitarium tour. And quite simply, the footage is awesome. Aside from Chad's vocals being a little strained from touring the entire summer, the band sounds perfect. I had seen them again a few months later when they came back to the House of Blues and his voice had gotten a lot better.
Anyway, the best performances had to have been Internal Primates Forever, -1, Nothing to Gein (oh yes), and World So Cold. A surprise to many perhaps, but... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Mudvayne DVD Release Date: Released the 11 November 2003 Usually ships within 24 hours
