Alive in Athens DVD

Whats your opinion on it? Do you think it should've been released? Or was it a waste of time? Your thoughts?
Set Abominae

I enjoyed it, though they should have put more songs on there. IE, A Question of Heaven, etc.

Yeah, I was also wondering why the cameras were constantly on Jon Schaffer... and no one else.
paranoidmexican009

it was just a way for century media to get a little more money. Jon didnt even want it to be released.
The Wicked One

y in the hell would they not put in A Question of Heaven?
that automatically means it fails.

i see the stuff on youtube if i want. no need to buy it if Century Media is being that gay.

A Question of Heaven should be on there, but just because it isn't dosen't mean it's total garbage. I enjoy.

So here is a question, why isn't it on there?
WinterSolstice

The three songs were omitted because the cameras they were using to film ran out and they needed to be changed.

I'm glad it's released, although, it should have been given a proper treatment. One of the many reasons I would never sign with Century Media.

That's odd. Oh well, I still love it.
WinterSolstice

Noticed my typo. What I meant to say was that the cameras ran out of batteries.

It's amazing... Matt looks like a god!! ... what makes me wonder how great the next one will be...
And does anyone know why Colors is not even on the CD's? just on the Melancholy EP?
The Wicked One

it was apparently a fuckaroo, then they realized and made the ep.
Black_Sheep

The only thing i don't like about this dvd, is the editing, the songs are not in the original order. And the songs Iced Earth and A Question Of Heaven are missing  Sad

Jon said that fans shouldn't buy the DVD since it does not live up to the standards of Iced Earth!
But he could say it just to get revenge on CM!
Aggelos Poneros

In the U.S., a shortened two CD version will be sold in stores due to cost restrictions. However, the full three CD version will still be available through Century Media mailorder. The band recommends all fans who want the original and complete version to order it rather than buying the two CD version.

I said the DVD, which was released after Iced Earth broke up with CM!

"Jon Schaffer has gone on record to say that he does NOT want the Iced Earth fans to buy or see this DVD. Jon feels that it does not meet the standards that he has set for Iced Earth therefore he didn’t release it."
Tainted Innocence

he was pretty excited about it in the interview...
The Wicked One

you guys are mixing it up.

Jon said enjoy it for what it is. Hes just annoyed  that he had no editing rights.
ragnew

I remember reading that Iced Earth played two different set lists on both nights they were in Athens. I always thought the DVD was one night, while the 3 CD version was another.

What I heard was it was a fuck up at the printing of the discs, they accidentally left it off the track list and they didn't want to redo the whole thing so they left it off.

Matt doesn't look like a "god" anymore since he doesn't have his hair   Laughing  


anyway, the next DVD will probably be a lot better.
Tainted Innocence

hopefully....
TheVileMessiah

How long have they been following them with cameras? O_o

I wouldn't doubt if it's more than one.
The Wicked One

they will pick and choose. probably depending on the sound board and overall tour coverage.

Will probably have Dark Saga from chicago with welcome back chant.

Melancholy at Rock Hard....ect ect
Raivotar

^ I hope not.

I'm hoping for a few special DVD shows with big, epic setlists like Alive in Athens. And considering it's Jon, I believe that will be the case. I don't think he's going to pick and choose songs from past tours and shows.
Dante

Yeah i guess it will be something like AiA!
The Wicked One

i don't think the list will be like AIA. The set-list seems to be the same for every show or just slightly modified
Raivotar

Do you think at the time of AiA, that their setlist looked like that every night? I have bootlegs from around that time, and it's not even close. Those sets were special for the live album.

Jon has been talking about making the DVD a special thing for years now. He's not going to half-ass it and put a 16 song setlist on a DVD. I would certainly hope not anyway.
Dante

Didn't Jon say in an interview that they will go back to Europe (probably Greece again) in late 08 or early 09 to film a DVD?
Raivotar

^ It's changed. The last thing I read was that he wanted to do it in the states this time.
Dante

Raivotar wrote:

Where did you read that?
Tainted Innocence

the need to put out more DVD's...
Raivotar

Dante wrote:

I did a Google search for some interviews with him, but I can't find the one where he mentioned it. What he said though was that he wanted to do it in New York. But I'd imagine the location for the DVD will change quite a few times.

He wanted to record it in New York yes you're right...
But with Demons & Wizards!

"But, we’ve talked about doing a DEMONS & WIZARDS live album and most likely we will do that in the States and I would like to record it in New York."
Tainted Innocence

that would be amazing...
The Sexiest Metalhead

It would be pretty sweet.
Dante

You're amazing yourself for no use...
He said it in 2004-2005.
Tainted Innocence

???
The Wicked One

Dante is pointing out its old news that no longer has any say in the current situation.

Blind Guardian are basically shooting the shit while Hansi has been off doing guest appearances and working on the Lord of the Rings Orchestreal piece.

and now that Matt is back, Jon seems to really want to press Iced Earth tours.
