Prepare yourself...'SOUTH OF HEAVEN' will blow you away!! One of my top 5 bands from 30 years of Heavy Metal, Slayer will test you!! The lyrics are not only intelligent, but real. Listen closely. 'Ghosts of War' is frickin' awesome; I always picture the dead jumping out of the plane in the movie 'Heavy Metal.' 'Live Undead' is a sinister prelude to 'Behind the Crooked Cross' which moves me; at 1:57 Kerry King literally cuts in with a slashing guitar and rips the place wild. It's very hard to write this review while listening. #5 song, 'MS' will grind you into oblivion with its intense hard rockin sound! I got lost one time in Norfolk, VA, "South of Heaven" rockin'; didn't matter where I was, this music kicks AS*....The title track is no fool, starts off calmly, with a devilish tone, drums as pillars, once cranked up their is no stopping......bleeding into 'Slient Scream'.... during this 'Silent Scream' trip you may feel the URGE to rearrange your room; I have done so many times..... 'Spill the Blood' evens out this book of tales with wisdom of treachery. Add the hard paced drifted riffed 'Dissident Agressor' and FAST 'Cleanse the Soul' and you have a CD that you will NEVER EVER FORGET!!!!!!
What's great about it: Lightning Fast Guitar, Lyrics, Song Stamina
Mob Rules, the second Black Sabbath CD featuring frontman Ronnie James Dio, is AWESOME, a must have after aquiring Heaven and H*ll The nearly 8 minute 'The Sign of the Southern Cross' sets the tone and allows Ronnies sprawling voice to take over. 'Falling off the Edge of the World' is a brillant piece written by Iommi and Dio. 'Country Girl' is a rockin' tune worth more then a listen. Be prepared to bang your head with 'Slipping Away'!!!! I had the convertible top down today jammin' on this song and I could barley keep control! You can't forget about 'E5150' with its dark and delicous lead up to the title track 'Mob Rules.' Throw in a wickedly deceptive 'Voodoo' and a Rockin' 'Turn Up the Night' and you've got a CD worth its weight in platinum. Black Sabbath is Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice.
Side note...'Mob Rules' is featured in the 1981 movie "Heavy Metal."
David Mallet directs this concert film that finds the high-wattage rock band AC/DC performing in a bullfighting ring. The disc offers a standard full-frame transfer. Closed-captioned English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.0 and Dolby Digital Stereo. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the video for "Hard as a Rock" and a making-of featurette about the video. These extras, coupled with the 20 songs performed by the band (including classics like "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," and "Thunderstruck") make this a great title for fans of the band.

TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS!! You will love this DVD; a must for any fan. In your face DVD rocks on every song. Performed in a sold out, HUGE arena, an old turn of the century bull fighting coliseum in Spain. Don't worry they sing in English. Very clear rockin' surround sound!! Excellent concert!
What's great about it: Set List & production quality is excellent
