 |  | This set needs another warning label... |  |
It has a parental advisory...now we need to be told that (as has been pointed out) not every video the band has done was included...there's also an animated version of "Shut Your Mouth" that isn't here...
But we should have been warned that one - "Queer" - has been altered! What's with the picture suddenly going out of focus several times during the bridge of the song? And the audio has been changed...you don't notice until the end. There's also something about "Push It" that doesn't seem right...can't put my finger on it yet.
Bought this thinking I could finally do away with my VHS and the video clips I've collected over time...no such luck. Really disappointed in that.

As a new Garbage fan, I have found this DVD fun and learned a lot about the Band's beginnings in 1995 to 2005 through the added documentary after the videos. I've already watched the DVD three times since I got it four days ago! Plus with the added double disk set of the CD Absolute Garbage, I have truly become a devoted fan. It is definitely worth the money, particularly for those who want to watch one or more of their videos and know you can't wait for MTV or other music channels (not on On Demand here :( - sad) to show one. Plus this would be great for dance parties...hmmm better plan one soon!

This DVD is oneof my favorite items that I own from Garbage. My first favorite is the beautifulgarbage album.
Anybody who loves Garbage will love this, it is goo dmusic, creative videos, and a very mindblowing documentary that keeps you asking for more. I know myself, I bought this retail, and the actual album online. Both are great, great to hear updated versions of such great songs from Garbage. Even if you only know a couple songs from Garbage, by getting this will introduce you to the great world of Garbage that I know and love. Garbage just makes good music, and their videos are so creative. Great collection. I wish it had the video to Androgyny though.

The first time I heard Garbage, I was in a friend's car. He had a tape of the debut album. The song playing was "Supervixen". I remember I had to ask him what was wrong with the tape because the guitar kept stopping. When he said that was how the song went, I became intrigued and bought the album. Thus began my journey to becoming a fan of this most remarkable group. Now, watching this DVD it is as though I have rediscovered what drew me to this group. When you hear Garbage, it strikes your sense of hearing in a good way by the powerful and beautiful voice of Shirley Manson. In a great compliment to such a melodic voice come the musical talents of Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig. What emerges is not only a great sound, but also a unique one. This DVD succeeds in capturing the band in a similar fashion. Watch the videos in a play all fashion you can observe how the band evolved both in appearance as well as musically. Each video is creative and unique just like the band. It is, however, not over there. Proceeding after the videos is an insightful, humorous and profound documentary that shows the band behind the scenes. In the years 1995-2005, you can see firsthand the camaraderie while simply hanging out and that same camaraderie that followed while they performed on stage. The footage of concerts made me feel both happy and sad. I was happy that that after ten years they were still together after having been through their own "emotional landslide" and sad that only once have I seen a Garbage show live (Okay, not entirely sad as it was indeed a wonderful time in my life.) In my opinion, any fan of Garbage should not be without this DVD and for those just discovering Garbage will receive a rare treat such that new fans may be born. This will be one DVD I will continue to watch with much fondness in the years to come.
May 13, 2008The contrast of these seasoned older producer/musicians with the lovely siren, Shirley, fronting the band is bizarre at times, but the strength of their playing, and her sassiness make this a sure hit. Enjoy
