Orgy - Trans Global Spectacle DVD Review
by Tim Ferrell
"Most of our fans have only seen us
onstage, in videos and in magazines, but this is the real us."
So says Orgy drummer Bobby Hewitt about
Orgy's first DVD, Trans Global Spectacle. The DVD chronicles the
band's exploits dating back to 1997 and was compiled from over 50 hours
of raw footage shot mostly by the band themselves.
It seems fashionable nowadays for every
band to release a DVD at some point and many are, shall we say, less than
exciting. This is much more than a standard video compilation - although
you will find videos for "Blue Monday", "Stitches", "Fiction (Dreams In
Digital)", and "Vague" included - or a weak live DVD - yes, there are several
live clips and some great studio footage but this DVD, however, is something
else as well... Aside from Lamb Of God's excellent Killadelphia
DVD, I have not found myself enjoying a music DVD as much in quite some
time.
Okay - brace yourself... There is a *lot*
of footage of the band behind the scenes. I mean it - a *ton*!! Some of
it is funny (well, a lot of it) and some of it is plain silly or stupid.
There is a liberal helping of sophomoric pranks and crude behavior and
several colorful characters outside of the band that make for some interesting
situations. You get to see the guys at their best and worst - cranked up
and jamming to worn out and sick. In short this is a true portrait of a
modern band on the run with all of the highs and lows that go along with
it. Vary interesting and enjoyable...
This is a 'must have' for any Orgy fan
or anyone interested in the life behind the scenes of a crazy touring band.
