Customer Reviews of Sugar Ray - No Cerveza, No Trabaja

A must for all fans of the band
If you are a fan of Sugar Ray then i highly recommend this dvd. It has all their early videos from their debut cd, plus the stuff from their Fly and Everybody days. People who think that Fly was their first video will be surprised at how many earlier videos they did, and at the hardcore style they used to do. I love every single Sugar Ray cd, from their early beginnings as a thrash/metal/punk band to the current radio-friendly pop they are doing now. It's all good. The dvd includes music videos, plus footage of the band members' backstage antics, which are fun to watch. You also get to meet the mothers of the bandmembers, talking about how sweet and wonderfully innocent their sons all are, and this footage is cut with scenes of the group members partying in various states of drunkenness and fun. It's all harmless and very entertaining. The whole dvd concept is well thought-out and executed. I wished it could have gone on longer. My only hope is a sequel of some sort, with more videos from the new cds. Those guys clearly know how to have a great time and are definite party animals. Mark McGrath and the gang look like a great bunch of guys to know and hang out with. Don't miss this dvd. It's a solid collection to your Sugar Ray library.

No beer no work
That's what the title of this video, "No Cerveza no trabajo," means in English. I suppose it is a new take on the "Will work for beer" saying, or maybe, "If you don't have beer for me, I won't work." Whatever the case, I'm inclined to believe these guys live by that motto . . . they probably get drunk a lot. This comes through during the segments between the music videos. During these segments, the mothers (and occasionally the grandmothers) to the band members are being interviewed and are, as expected, talking about how saintly their sons are; interspersed with the mothers' dialogue is footage of the boys in various states of undress, intoxication, rough housing, and, in some cases, bondage. Yes, it's a corny gag; but it's fun.

I like the video because it is humorous and Sugar Ray has a few catchy songs, but, well, even *they* will admit that they are not exactly musical innovators (the lead singer almost sounds tone deaf on songs like "Someday"). It could probably be said that the extent of the success they have enjoyed would not have been possible without the aid of these videos (then again, that could probably be said for 98% of the successful musical acts out there). My favorite video on this collection is "RPM"; this song is not as "radio friendly" as most of their others, and the video is a little more "edgy."

Over all, this is an enjoyable collection of video, and if you are a fan of Sugar Ray then you will enjoy it.

No Sugar Ray No Day
Being a huge Sugar Ray fan I have to say this collection is excellent! Not only does it have music videos that were NEVER aired on MTV or even in the USA, but even rarer old interviews that are hilarious. The extra conversations with the band's family members are the icing on the cake! If you are buying this in hopes to find out more about them, I mean, who knows more than they do? All this AND concert footage- what else do you need?
