The Offspring: Americana [DVD]

I was really looking forward to seeing this video after reading the reviews here, but I wish I had bypassed it altogether. There is nothing here of musical value and the stunts are weak at best. The only thing worth watching are the two music video the band created using video cameras for the songs Cool To Hate and MOTA. The rest of the video is garbage and the sound quality is terrible. Although some have given The offspring's other video "Huck It" bad ratings, it is a much better video than this one (at least it contains some decent live footage.)You best bet is to just listen to this album and stay away from this video, unless you like garbage as was presented in Slipknot's latest video "Voliminal - Inside the nine." (The movie part of this video, NOT the bonus material.)

This is more of an interesting thing to watch, but it has things you can find almost anywhere. Bike stunts, snowboard stunts, skateboarding, etc. It never hurts though. The cream of the whole movie though, is a "music video" type thing for Mota. That's one of my favorite things of all time. This is probably only for somewhat diehard fans, but maybe not.

top notch- bestof bunch!

bought it for him for christmas and he loved it. package arrive on time and cover was un-flawed. . /

Yes, just like that (stupid) guy said in that review, it has a bad quality, but the DVD in the back says: "This is not a Hollywood Production, just The Offspring & Friends" and also a lot of things that "tell you" that the video only contains stuff about the band, not from the Americana album.This video is intended to "show" the origins of the band, and it's hillarious sometimes. If you want some Offspring entertainment, this is the item you must have.(And get "Huck It" if you want 'stuff' from the latest album and some extreme sports, and funny things too).

Well, the reason I'm complaining about this DVD is because many people are going to be misled by it's name. It's NOT a DVD with songs from the Americana album. The video quality is very poor (they say it's on purpose when the video starts, but there's no mention to it on the outside of the box)and the songs are from the older albums. It would have been nice if they had included the music videos from the Americana album. Only for the biggest fans...

This DVD is awesome. It has classic Offspring material and very cool action scenes. For a true fan this is a must have. My favorite is skating with lightsabers! Wonderfully put together DVD.

If you love extreme music and extreme sports, you'll love this video. None of the people in this video are risking life and limb in an attempt to be cool. These red-blooded Americans live like there is no tomorrow, simply because they can. You'll want to see this one over and over.
