DVD Review: Megadeth - Arsenal of Megadeth - Page 2

This is probably the best Megadeth DVD available, not that there are that many, the only others I can remember are the VH1 Behind the Music special, and the Rude Awakening live DVD with Al Pitrelli and Jimmy DeGrasso. Still, this is definitely a collection any fan is going to want. And considering where the coverage stops, one must wonder if their will be a second volume. Surely, they could get enough footage from the albums following Risk, plus footage that was not included here.

The audio and video look very good. The quality is mixed from the variety of sources, but overall, I can offer no complaints. Definitely get out and add this to your collection, besides its got some kick ass cover art.

    Nice to see, Dave getting more live footage out to his fans. I've been a MD fan since 86' and there wasn't s**t back then. Every fan should e-mail MD and let them know this is what we want!!!!

    Not sure when I became a true 'deth fan, but I started in music late and suspect it was around the release of RIP.
