Reviews
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
War at the Warfield is nothing short of awesome. But if it has any drawbacks, it is the absence of original drummer Dave Lombardo. However, Paul Bostaph still did a fine performance on the drums. Tom Araya, Kerry King, and the late Jeff Hanneman were all in great form. In addition to performing such Slayer classics as "Raining Blood", "War Ensemble", "Dead Skin Mask", "South of Heaven", and "Angel of Death", they played some tracks from their then-recent album God Hates Us All, including "Disciple" and "Bloodline". The December 2001 concert opened with "Disciple" and closed with "Angel of Death". War at the Warfield delivers the goods from start to finish. Evidently, readers of the now-defunct magazine Metal Edge agreed; following its 2003 release, the DVD won a Metal Edge Readers' Choice Award for "DVD of the Year" - and rightly so!
At last, after nearly twenty years of waiting the worlds best speed metal band have finally delivered the goods. This is truly one of the best live performances by a band i have seen. It is just raw energy from the start (but hey what else would expect from a Slayer gig). This is Slayers second live performance film and is far better than the 1995 Live Intrusion. I have the dvd version which offers a larger insight into Slayer and has great interaction with the fans as they voice loudly their views on the Gods of Speed Metal. Also the great thing about this is the quotes of admiration from some of their music industry collegues i.e. Scott "NOT" Ian of Anthrax, Kirk Hammett of Metallica to name but a few. For a band who hardly do any promotional material they have captured the whole essence of this show from start to finish. In my view this will rank along side the great other live performances "Iron Maiden - Live After Death" "Def Leppard - In The Round, In Your Face" and "Queensryche - Operation:Livecrime" and 1 or 2 others. I highly recommend this to any Metal fan out there!"Truly Awesome"
