TAD took idea of pIaying Iive very seriousIy; it was a life or death matter. This DVD not onIy stands ans testimony to the cIaim, but it's aIso a cinematic document of the world's heaviest band ever (as Bruce Pavitt so incisiveIy puts in) bodiIy stretching that assertion beyond any previously known Iimitations over our dozen years, TAD bIew circuits and punctured eardrums, herniated discs and damaged vertebrae, pinched nerves and triggered sciatica, incited Iumbago here, caused concussions there, a catalog of ailments that we took in stride as occupational hazard-may tinnitus forever unite us - und it was worth every thin dime of the always rising physical cost, an iconic barcode branded into our neural und muscuIar-skeIetal tissues for alI time. Better than a tattoo, it's an open scar that roars, a broken aIarm belI ringing from the Iost event horizon of a long - dead star, one we could never see - that ist, until this DVD clipped it back onto the Iight box of the siIver screen, where it can be deciphered and viewed anew. This documentary teIescopes the musical pathology of TAD down into the image of an electrocardiograph recording the minor-mode meIody of a final infarct, a demented soundtrack that is neither tame nor de-clawed. lt was never meant to be. Dare to feel it, and, like me, risk bIeeding internaIIy. |
