Synopsis
Black Label Society is the brainchild of guitar-great Zakk Wylde. Hard and heavy, big on riffs, and even bigger on the solos, BLS is the bastard child of Black Sabbath, only pumped up on steroids. Having graced the world's stages for the last 18 years, both as Ozzy Osbourne's right hand man as well as fronting BLS, Zakk Wylde has established himself as one of the few remaining guitar heroes. EUROPEAN INVASION captures BLS live on their sold-out European tour last year--one of the most anticipated tours of the year, and they didn't disappoint. Witness the full Paris show as well as four tracks from the Astoria in London. Bonus footage includes an hour-long on-the-road documentary, three promo videos taken from the Billboard top 20 album MAFIA, and the making-of documentary for the promo video "Suicide Messiah."

I have liked Black Label society for a while and while their first dvd (Boozed, Broozed and Broken Boned) is good it is not a patch on this. The quality of the filming is superb and the songs feature a wide range of their songs including an exerp from Ironman!!! and a classical guitar jam!!! the second disc has 50mins of hilarious footage filmed when the guys are out of the limelight. Simply Superb, the only thing that would make it better would be more on the second disc.

The first disc of the DVD collection features a fantastic gig live from paris as well as the highlights of the London Astoria show. The sound quality is brilliant and far superior to the previous "bruised, boned..." DVD and also features far better material from the Blessed Hellride and Mafia cd releases. The highlights come later in the show with In this River, Fire it up and Spoke in the wheel being my particular favourites they are all extended and improve upon the cd release versions (the sign of a truely great live performance).
To be honest its all about the guitar playing Zakk absolutlely shreds throughout the show any guitarist will be inspired by his virtuoso playing technique.In addition to all the usual flashness We are also treated to the brilliant acoustic part of the set which includes Diary of a Madman and Mama I'm comin home.
The second DVD is not quite as inspiring however consisting mainly of the usual backstage footage in which Zakk doesnt come off so well seeming to dominate the band at points particularly before the Astoria show. But you do get a genuine insight into his personality and philosophy, basically his "wont take s**t from anybody" attitude and his firm belief in family combine to make a brutal yet caring person.
To sum it up watch the 1st DVD and be amazed and the 2nd to judge the man for yourself.
