Customer Reviews of Devo - The Complete Truth About De-Evolution
NICE TO HAVE ON DVD FNALLY, BUT MISSING MATERIAL!!! WHY?? As a long-time DEVO fan, I'm happy that Rhino/WB FINALLY put out a best-of DEVO video collection on DVD, but WHY are there so many holes? I don't really miss the "Are U Experienced?" video much (the addition of seldom-seen "Mongaloid" video makes up for it!), but as any fan knows, there are lots of bits/segments MISSING that were included on old, OUT OF PRINT VHS edition of DEVO's "THE MEN WHO MAKE THE MUSIC" and "WE'RE ALL DEVO" - for example, where are all the original cool BOOJIE BOY/GENERAL wraparound skits/segues DEVO created? Where is the COMPLETE backstory with the evil record label? Where is the LIVE footage on tour in JAPAN recorded at BUDOKAN? Also, surely there must be MORE unseen promo footage, featurettes, etc. locked in the vaults - and why not do a filmed piece showing the group's reunion tour on LOLAPALOOZA, etc? Since this is the FIRST and maybe ONLY DVD fans are likely to get, why does the release seem so lackluster in terms of packaging/bonus materials? If Rhino put as much effort into making a DVD as they do their "RHINO HANDMADE" CD's, this would get 5 stars - I'll keep the DVD but wish it respected the high standard/pioneering spirit and lasting influence of DEVO - if "now it can be told," then TELL THE COMPLETE STORY not some shoddy, rush-job cash-in?!
THE TRUTH? CAN U HANDLE THE TRUTH?!!
Finally.....DEVO on DVD! But "Complete" ??? Sorry Spuds,it's a bit uglatto! What's missing? Mostly it's the "linking" material.... The Rod Rooter/Donut Rooter/Daddy Knowitall/Genral & Booji Boy skits,it also contains none of the live footage from the original "Men Who Make The Music". BUT....this is not the fault of RHINO,this is the first re-issue of a Laser Disc.release out of Japan,and appears as it was released then. Except,that the estate of Jimi Hendrix put the brakes on "Are You Experienced" being released,so that is missing.( Which is sad,because it's A) A brilliant cover & video,and B) Apparently it's okay to prostitute Jimi's music to commercial makers instead. ). So why purchase this re-issued spud wazz? Well....it is the ONLY collection available on DVD. It DOES have some interesting additionals,early black and white footage of the FIRST DEVO public appearance,and an appearance by DOVE ( singing "Worried Man" live ),and a good selection of photos,memorbilia,and inside stories. And...it's probably the first release,US wise,of "Disco Dancer",& "Post Post Modren Man"( 2 versions).Although the "used in concert version" of "Love Without Anger" STILL remains in the DEVO vaults,and has never been released. Still....overall,it's good to have a little DEVO for the ol' DVD! DUTY NOW,SPUDS!
Warning: Contains some really lousy videos
OK, buy it if you love Devo. It's the only thing on DVD. But only if you LOOOVE Devo will you be happy. There are some good tunes form the 70s and early 80s, but we have to be subjected to the painfully bad Donut & Rod Stuff, some awful videos like Post-Post Modern Man and Disco Dancer, and the unbelieveable Through Being Cool, in which Devo arms really ugly kids with laser guns of some type, and sends them out to destroy people! Nice guys... Get it for the old stuff and the extras. Then dig out that old VHS of The Men Who Make The Music and REALLY have fun remembering the days before they were selling Swiffer mops and beer on TV ads. And Jerry hated the idea of a Devo Doll. Bah!
