I gave Disasterpieces nine out of ten. Yet I think it deserved ten.The boring part: this is has a superb live show in London, and a collection of all (in 2002) their music videos. If you want the greatest live show on earth (Slipknot, obviously), you've got it here. If you want all their music videos (including the two Wait and Bleed videos and the director's cut of Left Behind) in one place, look no further.Now comes the interesting stuff (to me, at least). To anyone else, 2002 was just 5 years ago, but to Slipknot it's a lifetime ago. In an interview in 2004, Corey Taylor (singer) said that he couldn't watch Disasterpieces because he feared he would have a panic attack. Such is the intenseness of the Disasterpieces. You see, in the "Iowa period" things weren't going in the right direction. The backstage crew (most of which doesn't work for the band anymore) were working against Slipknot, not for them. Slipknot was, quite literally, on the highway to hell. By 2003, the members hated each other, and the world started chanting "the end of Slipknot" as if it were fact. And for the nine masked madmen, it did feel like it was over. True fact: when Corey decided to make "the call" (the "I'm quitting the band" call), the other line was busy. This is, to a certain degree, the reason why Slipknot is still around. All one has to do is watch Disasterpieces from beginning to end, and consider the aforementioned events, and they'll have a front-row seat view of the decline of music's most intense band. This is an utter must for any Slipknot fan, especially those who've already seen their latest DVD, because it chronicles the final part of the end of Slipknot, and is an important part of the band's history.In 2002, Disasterpieces sowed the seeds of Slipknot's destruction. In 2007, it sows the seeds of the destruction of a monster called Iowa, and the rise of god called Slipknot.

Im a huge fan of slipknot but i hadn't really got into them until IOWA came out. After i heard IOWA and had my ass kicked by the awesome tracks i decided to hear the first album which was still as good as IOWA. When The Subliminal verses came out i was stunned you could see how the band have evolved together with their songs. One of their best songs in my opinion is Duality but the whole album is fantastic. Most of the other albums had great songs still my favorite IE: Wait and Bleed, SPit it out, Liberate,Purity,Eyore,heretic anthem,Sic its safe to say i love all their songs lol. I had seen their video clips heaps of times and wondered if any concerts were around so i went looking and what did i find Disasterpieces. Now to be honest listening to their albums i would have expected a complete bad ass concert and it was better than that it was F**KING AWESOME. Corey is an absolute gun and sounded great live, the band were nuts not to mention Sid jumping off of platforms and during heretic anthem while the fire and pyro is going off he stands in the middle of it. He's a nut case, Shawn and Chris on percussion were like machines the whole show.Joey like always is just one of the best I've seen on drums not much action from Craig on samples but u can still see him in the background keeping busy. Mick And James were great and the whole performance was 2nd to none. I highly recommend this to any Slipknot fan or anyone else who want's to see a bunch of 9 crazy guys do what they do best 10/10

The best live DVD i have ever seen in my life by one of my favorite bands ever is a must buy. If you have the 9.0: Live CD from Slpknot, you already have the sound to it.Me and my friends all bought Disasterpeices, and of course loved it, and then bought the CD, and noticed almost half of the songs (or more!) were actually just the Disasterpoeices DVD just without picture.There are many special features on the DVD such as: Live performances - 10/10 Videos - 8/10 Alternate Camera views - 5/10 there are a few more, only i don't remember them. But over all, the performances are amazing, but his singing isn't the best, but that's because of their masks and Corey's tired vocals. They only sound bad on the live CD.Warning: expect profanity, and lots of it!

First off, anyone who said that the concert was too dark on their TV either got a bootlegged copy or has one crappy TV. OK, this two disc set is a must for anyone who likes SlipKnoT or heavy music in general. I know it's been said already, but I want to get the point across. The videos on disc two are amazing, with every video through the release of Iowa; including both versions of Wait and Bleed, and the director's cut of Left Behind. Now for the main reason to buy this DVD. The concert from start to finish is out-freaking-standing. Sid's leaps from higher points on stage, Shawn and Chris making percussion evil, Joey is god-like on drums, Mick and James are like twin powerhouses on guitar, and Corey's voice is the instrument that brings it all together. Combining all these on-stage elements with some of the best editing and camera work I've seen in any kind of film (no, really!), makes for some the heaviest hitting songs I've ever seen or heard. Log off your computer right now. Go on, do it. Now head to the store and pick up Disasterpieces. Stay (sic).
