If you're looking for some no-nonsense hard rock riffage, Motorhead - Stage Fright is your destination. The Teutonic power trio, who've been around for over 30 years, have a lean, muscular musical attack that clearly influenced not only heavy metal (with its bludgeoning thunder) but also punk rock (with its no-frills minimalism). Phillip Campbell's guitar technique blisters with ruthless efficiency as he rips through Motorhead classics like Ace of Spades, backed by Mikkey Dee's ferocious and buoyant drumming. But the master of ceremonies is towering Lemmy, the lead singer/bassist with mighty muttonchops; though he keeps his stage patter sparse--the band frequently segues straight from one song into another--his humor and charisma are clearly the focal point. Visually, Stage Fright--filmed in Dusseldorf, Germany, before a mob of sweaty, head-bobbing adolescent males (with occasional glimpses of a rare girl)--depends heavily on rapid editing and the relentless throb and flicker of the light show, as the band is pretty much a stand-there-and-play bunch. But by the end, even nonbelievers may find themselves bobbing along with Dancing on Your Grave or Going to Brazil or the acoustic Whorehouse Blues.
The second dvd of this two-dvd set is an extensive exploration of Motorhead's backstage world. While a non-fan might think that including interviews with Lemmy's bass technician or the band's potty-mouthed cook is the height of rock narcissism, the opposite is true; Motorhead are about the least pretentious rock stars you'll ever see. The genuine family feeling among the band and crew is enviable and results in a raffish, enjoyable portrait of life on the road. Also included is a montage of fan tattoos, interactive features, ringtones and wallpaper, and the full text of the band's backstage rider, which dictates the booze and candy that the band expects to find in their dressing rooms. All in all, Stage Fright is an honest and entertaining portrait of one of rock-and-roll's most resilient bands. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
Lemmy Kilmister explains his unabatedly passionate relationship with his own band and its varied history as follows: Motoerhead is not only my job, it s my whole life. The fact that this band sits among the most authentic and charismatic rock acts in history is without a doubt due to the never tiring enthusiasm of Lemmy, who continues to live his own visions of musical earthiness irrespective of trends and fashions.
Stage Fright was recorded during a show at the Phillipshalle in Duesseldorf, Germany on December 7, 2004. The set features 20 songs covering the entire Motoerhead history, including Overkill , Ace Of Spades and Iron Fist . Directly after the show, Motoerhead embarked on a three-month US tour, culminating in a performance at WrestleMania in Los Angeles in front of 20,000 wrestling fans. This memorable occasion was broadcast in 50 countries and witnessed by over 50 million viewers, shot with 23 high definition cameras under the direction of Sven Offen (Papa Roach, Heather Nova, Groenemeyer, Toten Hosen, among others). The DVD was also cut for a special presentation on MTV2 in America.
Special HD DVD features include: Advanced Content (iHD), special online downloadable functions, On The Fly menu, picture-in-picture video comments, snapshot functions, create setlist function and special bonus material.

DVD was like being there. October 22, 2008

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Motorhead concert. When I saw Stage Fright it blew me away. Watching it was like being at the concert, again, except a bit more enhanced and elaborate. Interesting camera angles and effects made this all the more interesting and appealing. And we are treated to a bonus disc of behind the scenes footage as well as a full concert experience. All Motorhead and for that matter heavy metal fans should experience this DVD.

Trully HD, sound and songs blasting, first time I buy anything from Motorhead and now I have become a loyal fan. Haven't seen the extras buy who cares, I just got metallized with the concert and great production that was developed for this product.
Sweet July 29, 2008

Awesome stuff for a concert DVD, absolutely love it. Now we have the tools we need to see them at the Metal Masters Tour!
We're Motorhead...we play R&R January 6, 2008
Fernando Pereyra (Saint Paul, Minnesota United States)
As Lemmy says, they rock...!
They play their music with such synchronization that there is no room for mistakes. The songs are very good and the performance brilliant.
If you like Hard Rock, you found your disk.
 For all Motoerhead fans, this is a must! November 22, 2007
Alfonso G. Guevara. (Caracas, Venezuela)
Excellent DVD! It definitively captures the energy of a Motoerhead show, as I saw it on Caracas, April 25th 2007. Highly recommended to all Motoerhead fans, as it contains old and new material, dated from the 2004 Inferno tour... My only complaint is actually the DVD itself, which came scratched, hence with some jumps in the video...
