The Fantomas Melvins Big Band is a combination of members of Fantomas and The Melvins. They occasionally play shows together as a collective, and this DVD perfectly captures the heavy Sludge of The Melvins and the noisy insanity of Fantomas. The only other product that has been released for public consumption by this beastly musical collective is a live album from 2002 entitled MILLENIUM MONSTERWORK 2000. ... Read More
Rating: - Solid performance
A great show for Fantomas and Melvins fans alike.
If your a fan of both, like me, you'll love it.
The track list is a little different than the live CD they put out a few years ago, there's more songs, and its better quality.
Gotta love the 2 drummers up there together - 2 legends at the top of their game.
Rating: - A unique performance
Fantomas and Melvins together are just a different experience, seeing them together is a dream for every fan, this performance is completely stunning live, almost a perfect performance, they sound same or even better than the studio version. This show clearly isn't for everybody, so if someone wants to see and hear something challenging , should pick this DVD!
Rating: - head pounding artistry
Anyone who likes the melvins and fantomas will enjoy this dvd. For those who cannot stomach either band for more than five minutes should stay clear. This is a great live performance.
