- Hell Yeah
This has the first cuts of music videos from the first album, none of which I'm sure ever got played by crappy MTV. The videos are for Am I Demon, Twist of Cain, Mother, She Rides, and a tiny bit of live footage of When Death Had No Name. There are also interviews with the original lineup of Glenn, John, Eerie, and Chuck. If there is something wrong it's the length, but they would've had to do a video for every song, which they wouldn't do, and there's a little bit of that late eigthies/early ninties cheesiness in the videos. Definately get this if you're a Danzig fan

- Intense, melancholy, eerie, powerful entertainment fare...
Truly, a masterwork of musical metal morbidity. We are taken on the road with Danzig & the guys, & shown aesthetically pleasing videos, too. I appreaciate the attention payed to arcane & esoteric subjects herein.
TWIST OF CAIN begins us off as the first recorded murder. The mood is omnious as four figures clad in black, shadow the stage, appearing from apparently nowhere, amidst the tolling of deep bells. Suddenly, the music grinds, & the whole place is energized with a supernatural furvor.
Then we are treated to AM I DEMON, a hard, pounding composition, pondering the question every Satanist pondered at one point or another. The answer is YES. If you honestly adhere to the Satanic philosophy, & just knew you were different all your life from the commoners, then it is most likely affirmative. Let the proles gawk & marvel. Glen dons a goat-head, & is crucified, with a beautiful female pawing his body. I suppose this signifies the undue persecution The Devil has received from the very ones He keeps in business---the xians {The Ninth Satanic Statement}.
SHE RIDES is a pleaser, with a gorgeous, ripe, voluptuous, incredibly pale redhead contorting like a snake in her mesmerizing movements, to the bump & grind type drumming.
Then there's the infamous MOTHER. The cantible banned from MTV, & criticised by the PMRC for being "sexist" & violent. Sex & death? You know it must be good! This is a really great video. Despite the useless bloodletting of that chicken. The question remains whether or not it was real. The blood anoints the naked body of a beautiful maiden, who lays stretched out across a blood-stained altar. Quite a show, indeed! Several other female sheep huddle together in fear, as the shadow of an inverted cross covers them. Glen stands within a pentagram, & well, you'll just have to see it for yourself.
The rest of the video is comprised of interviews, backstage scenes, & an interesting perusal into Glen's library. This video is a definite collector's item & should be in every Satanist's collection who enjoys dark, brooding music. It is also a good idea to get Lucifuge-The Video, & Danzig Live-The Devil In Disguise.

- If you're a Danzig fan, this video is definetly worth it.
This video is very good due to its balance in both interviews with the band's members and videos themselves. Videos such as "Mother" and "Twist Of Cain" are full of energy and music. Definetly recommended.

- Glenn's Good!
I love to watch this guy perform, he is so powerful from his deep seductive voice to his wonderfully hard body. I just want to know where has he been for the last 5 years? I wished he'd come out of hiding to show of his latest.

- A Must-See for all Danzig Fans!!!
If you like Danzig then you will love this video. It shows everything that the other video stations dont show. That is a band that is raw and pure testosterone built band. I recommend this for all danzig fans.
