Voivod - D V O D 1

i have been a fan of voivod since the very beginning so this DVD is a real treat for someone like me. all of their videos are here. from 'voivod' through 'astronomy'; some of which i had never seen before, some i hadn't seen in years, yet were definitely as cool as i remembered ('psychic vacuum' ferinstance is pretty psychedelic). there is some awesome live footage of the band including a live version of 'fredoom' from the 'angel rat' album. this was a real nice bonus for me because 'angel rat' from which the song comes is one of my favorite albums by any artist ever. the musicianship presented here is always splendid, original and in many ways, wholly unique. piggy's (r.i.p.) approach to the guitar is out of this world. it is wonderful to see him totally dominate his instrument, especially on the studio footage of him recording guitar parts for the song 'the unknown knows'. blacky and away created the best rhythm section i would ever see live. snake was a charismatic frontman, to say the least. there are some really nice bonuses too (live audio of shows remastered by piggy and aways artwork) this DVD is highly recommended for voivodians and anyone wanting a glimps at the very best music of a band pushing the boundaries of hardcore/thrash metal genre.

I am a Voivod fan from the heyday of Dimension Hatross and Nothingface days, and I was so happy to find out they were making an official release DVD covering the original lineup. The material included on this DVD is great, all of the videos from this period, songs (live or videos) from each of the first six albums (even one live track from Angel Rat). However, I would have liked a little more non-musical content with this DVD to make it more indepth. Outside of a couple of "making of" short clips, there is nothing but the music. Now don't get me wrong, the music is great, but I like DVDs to include some things that give insite into the band. The "making of" parts could have included some studio banter, or interviews. Even this had to be in French with subtitles, I would have loved it. At any rate, as a big Voivod fan, I love having access to these great live clips, and high quality versions of these old school videos. 80's special effects are funny to see. This is a fun video, and if you love this period of Voivod, be sure to buy.

I saw Voivod's first video on Mtv Headbanger's Ball sometime in either summer or fall of 1986. I caught the middle part of it when I came back after channel surfing during a commercial between breaks. At the end I caught the Band name Voivod and the album "Dimension Hatross". It played only a couple times after that and then they (Voivod) released Angel Rat with its video - it was the Clouds video I think - I dont have the album right here as I'm typing this - it was featured on Mtv's "Smash or Trash" segment ( it must have trashed). The music from the first video was "it" is what I'm trying to say . Had all the elements of what in the past years has been labeled Nu-metal but done correct and way before the term . This was on par with the Melvins "Stoner Witch " album.I've been looking for it since 1996 and now it's great to see not only the song but the video too. Five stars

I read the other reviews, especially the more critical ones complaing about the menu system & lack of 5.1. The negative press made me a little cautious, but I love Voivod to much to let a few poor reviews keep me away. I am very grateful to say that while there is no "play all" feature on the menu when watching the music videos, you don't need it. The DVD automatically plays all the videos. I was not taken back to a main menu and forced to make another selection. Perhaps the other user needs a new copy of the DVD or a new DVD player. I'm using the Toshiba HD DVD A1 player. About the 5.1 audio, my DVD simply states Dolby Digital. There is no claim of 5.1 or even stereo sound anywhere to be found on the box. I'm using a Harmon Karden AVR 145 receiver and just to be safe I selected Dolby Pro Logic 2 before listening and viola, Voivod in 5.1This was a great investment. I am very pleased.

Sounded goof

I miss this band SO much. So beyond their time and rarely namechecked. Any band that could take a Pink Floyd song (which was already cool) and make it even more trippy should NEVER be forgotten. Even though this isnt standard music dvd style, with no interviews or useless nonsense, the live performance clips alone make it worth it. Rest in piece,PIGGY. Your work will forever confuse the ill-informed.

Amazing early footage with the classic Voivod line up. I've never seen anything the very early videos, really cool stuff. I only wish that it had more band interviews. The video and sound quality are good.

If you are into metal and a fan of voi-vod, this is for you! A great history of the bands 1st 6 albums. No interviews with the members is why i gave it 4 stars.

Not the orginal copy of this DVD from 2005. Instead its a DVD-R version with fuzzy artwork sticker on it. Russian bootleg. And it pauses often in songs / videos in my DVD player because its not an actual manufactured DVD.

Diese DVD beinhaltet alle Videos bis 1989 in akzeptabler Bild-und Tonqualität,man muß das Alter berügsichtigen!Auch sind die Macking offs von manchen Videos und CDaufnahmen sehr interesant,könnt sogar etwas mehr sein!Das Einzige was stört, sind die kurzen Konzertmitschnitte(durchschnittlich gute Qualität)! Da hät mehr drin sein müßen!!!

リージョンフリーの再生機を持っているので全く何も考えずに購入しましたが届いたものにはしっかりとリージョン「０」の表記が。この頃はブリキを擦り合わせるような独特のギターサウンドと性急なリズム、サビたVoが持ち味のスラッシュバンドでしたね〜。ライブ映像はSLAYERの弾薬箱の3.5億倍（当社比）は良い画質/音質でブートビデオを見た事のある人なら全然楽しいかと。初期のデモテープ２本（どっちもライブ）が収録されていますがこれだけでも「買い」でしょう！最後に。Piggy, may you rest in peace.We believed we can meet you in Japan someday.

すばらしい「タツマキ」でしたただ収録時間が短いので星ひとつマイナス音質は最近のBDやリマスターされたCDに比べるとやや物足りない感じがしますが、まあB級DVDとしてはこんなもんかなくらい

画質／音質は時代を考えれば悪くないし貴重な内容。しかし、リアルタイム・スラッシャーなのに何故かVoivodなら"Angel Rat"（1991年）〜"The Outer Limits"（93年）の頃が一番好きな自分としては、この時期を含むはずの"DVOD2"のリリース予定はどうなっちゃったの？というのが正直な気持ち。とはいえピギー死後もリリース、ツアーと活動が意外にも順調で現役感があるのが懐古的な作品の発表を遅らせているのかと推測するとファンとしてはもうしばらく大人しく待たざるえないだろう。
