"Being a long time TKK fan, I had to instantly buy this DVD. Seeing the videos for the songs I played ad nauseum was great, but I was a bit disappointed about the lack of videos for anything off of "Confessions Of A Knife". My interest in TKK waned a bit after the release of "Hit & Run Holiday", so the bulk of the videos, including the live cuts, were a bit meaningless to me.

Very entertaining nonetheless, I was thinking that perhaps it wasn't such a great DVD after all. That is, until I saw the last video. On the DVD it is listed as "My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult", but it is credited at the end as "Sexplosion!". This seemingly homemade video was worth the price of the DVD alone. With a soundtrack consisting of a medly of TKK hits, the video is most definitely John Waters inspired. Some sparse dialog comes across as bad acting, but in a very campy, humorous, tongue-in-cheek manner. Even more entertaining if you've followed TKK for the past 15 years or so.

A couple of notes: "Sex On Wheelz" and "Sexplosion!" are radio/club mixes, not the album versions.

"Being a fan for 15 years, I thought I'd give this a rent. It wasn't bad to see once, but i'll probably never see this twice. I guess the videos weren't as good as I expected them to be. "And This Is What The Devil Does" was ok, as was "Kooler Than Jesus", "Sex On Wheels" and "Blue Budda", but most was a tad on the repetitive side, and rather boring. Lot's of stage shots, etc. You can get the drift of each video in just the first 30 seconds of the song. Songs like "Glamour Is A Rocky Road" have more potential. Also, why are there no vids for "X-Communication", "A Daisy Chain For Satan", or "Cuz It's Hot"? The live stuff was decent, and the film short at the end was something anybody could have done. Still, something to see for the major fan. Otherwise just enjoy the kool music, and make your own videos in your head."
