Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First off, I want to refer you to the first review posted for this video. Now read a few of the other, more positve reviews. My intent is to define a middle ground. I totally understand the first reviewers complaints. It's produced and edited like "home video meets survelliance footage." It's a hodge-podge of whatever video they had, basically. A clear lack of experience in the editing room is evident througout
I think the people who made this were very close to the band. Specifically, Miguel and such folks. Thusly, they may not have been comfortable asking Brad's dad the tough and compelling questions. Or maybe they just weren't experienced enough in interviewing. Don't forget they were probably staying pretty mentally altered at the time they made this, it being after Brad's death.
Here's the kicker: none of that matters. The typical Sublime fan is just overjoyed to have something to look at having to do with Sublime. All we have is what we had in April of 1996, so at some point I think Sublime fans collectively went into kind of a hoarding mode; grabbing any bootleg, any video snippet and anything with Brad's voice on it just to make sure you always have it. You want every piece of anything that's out there.
So, there's my little story of the two halves. I wish a better job were done on it, and if it were anyone else I wouldn't spend my hard-earned twenty dollars it. But it's not anyone else. It's Brad. It's the band. It's Sublime.
