Was this a joke ?

"I had heard about the GREAT KAT for years but never really paid much attention.
Had a chance to see this DVD.

IS THIS A JOKE ?

Irritating noise, no real guitar playing to speak of and what is there is monotonous diatonic noodling with a buzzy tone.

There is no semblance of music to be seen or heard here, just an attempt to be as controversial and noisy as possible.

Beyond bad."

Kat is Lame!

"I have heard about The Great Kat and I was eager to see her in action. This DVD is VERY disappointing. It is simply a collection of 6 videos that last only 2 minutes each.
The ENTIRE disc runs no more than 15 minutes, which is a total rip-off.
Kat looks like quite an able guitar player but it is really hard to judge from this DVD.
The short videos are extremely fast, with a wall of sound cacophony of noise and grunting animal sound vocals which is nothing less than annoying.
The visual images are disturbing and this is a real schlock piece made to cash in on the Vampire/Speed Metal genre. This is gimmick music if this can even be called music. I'm no prude, I love Sacred Reich, Pantera & all sorts of speed metal. But this disc is simply garbage.
Kat looks like she might have some talent because she can play really fast. But then again I can also play guitar really fast and with a wall of sound band noise behind me you couldn't tell if I was missing notes or what. All her speed is pointless and wasted on this garbage. A whole lot less speed and a good deal more passion might help her playing.
She should join a decent band and actually play songs and guitar solos instead of this noise. I doubt if one could really hear her playing past all this noise that she could even come close to Metallica's Kirk Hammet's TRUE guitar solos.
Amazon needs to allow a zero star rating because this disc really deserves it."

Save your money and buy gas instead

"six videos, twelve minutes and absolutely nothing enjoyable about this disc. If you've got money to throw away this is a perfect vehicle for that. This clearly proves that fast does not equal great or even talented for that matter. Save your money and buy a gallon of gasoline instead, it will take you further than this DVD ever does."
