A periodic survey of pop-related laser discs, books and videocassettes. Ratings are on a scale of one star (poor) to five stars (a classic.)
For a 55-minute tape of a live metal show, this is pretty dead. Blame it mostly on the mundane work by the editors and cameramen--though lead singer Jani Lane might take a few showmanship lessons from Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach. Mixed in among the concert footage are scenes of a slimy caricature of a conniving businessman watching the show. Actually, his babbling is more entertaining than the band’s antics--with one exception: His use of a common anti-gay epithet is an inexcusable lapse of taste.
