│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Well, this must win the award for the longest ║ │
│║ title of the yearà Twisted Sister Metal Meltdown ║ │
│║ Live at the Hard Rock Casino û Las Vegas û A ║ │
│║ Concert To Honor A.J. Pero is a professional ║ │
│║ recording of a complete gig from soon-to-retire ║ │
│║ metal stalwarts Twisted Sister as they make ║ │
│║ their way through a tour which is now being ║ │
│║ conducted in honour of fallen comrade AJ Pero ║ │
│║ who died last year. The legendary Mike Portnoy ║ │
│║ covers skin-bashing duties for this gig û the ║ │
│║ bandÆs first with out AJ û and the remainder of ║ │
│║ the tour dates. ║ │
│║ As well as being a full gig recording, there are ║ │
│║ little snippets of interview throughout from the ║ │
│║ band members and others. One of which details ║ │
│║ that each member of the band nominated someone ║ │
│║ theyÆd like to have cover for them in the event ║ │
│║ that they couldnÆt perform. ItÆs somehow nice to ║ │
│║ know that Portnoy is covering at AJÆs own ║ │
│║ request. These little bits and pieces (which ║ │
│║ donÆt add much to the running length) are part ║ │
│║ of a full 90+ minute documentary thatÆs also ║ │
│║ included û The Tougher The Road, The Harder They ║ │
│║ Rock. While the documentary doesnÆt perhaps have ║ │
│║ the rewatch value of the concert, itÆs still ║ │
│║ pretty good and features a load of chat from the ║ │
│║ band themselves, so everything is from from the ║ │
│║ horseÆs mouth, so to speak. ItÆs actually quite ║ │
│║ entertaining as some of the sections of the ║ │
│║ interview contradict each other û the band have ║ │
│║ been shown some of the third party recordings ║ │
│║ and clarify some of the stories and rumours! ║ │
│║ The gig itself, though, is of the kind of ║ │
│║ quality youÆd expect from Twisted Sister. Sound ║ │
│║ quality is spot on and the video work is ║ │
│║ perfect. Lots of camera angles, all the ║ │
│║ between-song banter and the band themselves on ║ │
│║ top form. If thereÆs a criticism, itÆs the ║ │
│║ audience. I like hearing a big crowd reaction in ║ │
│║ the background and between songs, and in this ║ │
│║ recording theyÆre quite mute. ThereÆs a bit of a ║ │
│║ cheer between songs but IÆd have liked more û ║ │
│║ you can hardly hear them screaming back to Dee ║ │
│║ when heÆs trying to get them going to the point ║ │
│║ it sometimes feels heÆs shouting at an empty ║ │
│║ room. But, hey, IÆm picking nits here. ║ │
│║ ThereÆs a great selection of songs (see further ║ │
│║ down) and if this is the set they run with at ║ │
│║ Bloodstock next month then I couldnÆt be ║ │
│║ happier. I certainly expect a rowdier audience ║ │
│║ for their final UK show! Covering a fair amount ║ │
│║ of their history andà well, IÆd like to say ôall ║ │
│║ the classicsö but they have too many so there ║ │
│║ are bound to be a couple that didnÆt make the ║ │
│║ cut. ║ │
│║ Particularly poignant is the AJ Pero tribute ║ │
│║ towards the end. Portnoy vacates the drums and ║ │
│║ video / audio of AJ himself playing a solo is ║ │
│║ allowed to let rip for a couple of minutes, ║ │
│║ really cementing his place on this final tour. A ║ │
│║ well done, without being overdone, gesture. ║ │
│║ Given the landmark importance of the gig û the ║ │
│║ location, the first without AJ, the first of the ║ │
│║ final tour cycle û this is a DVD/Blu-Ray/CD ║ │
│║ worth picking up for fans. As a casual, but ║ │
│║ respectful, Twisted Sister fan I can say I ║ │
│║ thoroughly enjoyed both the live footage and the ║ │
│║ documentary. Roll on Bloodstock so I can ║ │
│║ experience it for real! ║ │
