Editorial Review:
Slipknot, the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning, hard rock enigma, will release the DVD VOLIMINAL: INSIDE THE NINE. A special double disc package, VOLIMINAL: INSIDE THE NINE takes the viewer on a several hour journey into the world of Slipknot as the band recently circled the globe in support of the multi-platinum album VOL. 3: (THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES). Far from your usual tour film, VOLIMINAL: INSIDE THE NINE is more of an art piece -- while fans are taken in the studio, on stage, backstage, on their tour bus and everywhere in between as they experience the energy of a band literally living, breathing and fighting for the music they created, none of it unfolds in ways you'd expect.

Description of Voliminal: Inside the Nine:
If it has anything to do with the metal marauders from Des Moines, it can't possibly be nice or sweet. To quote singer Corey Taylor, also known as #8, "Being in Slipknot is a lot like having cysts removed from your body. It's gotta be done and... at the end of the day, it feels really, really good." Product of percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan, Voliminal may not be the digital equivalent of a dermatological procedure, but his scattershot approach won't be for everybody. It isn't a concert film or documentary, but rather an impressionistic look at the group on the road with frequent Ring-type special effects. The feature takes up the first disc, while the second consists of nine live tracks recorded in Europe and Japan, interviews with each band member, and five videos from the Rick Rubin-produced Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses. Although the Iowa rockers don horror movie masks for most public appearances, they make an exception for these candid conversations (not including sampler/keyboard player Craig "133" Jones). Also, though it looks cool, the menus consist of graphics rather than text, so it can take a little trial and error to figure out what's what. As a film, Voliminal may be pretty shapeless, but Maggots, i.e. the Slipknot faithful, are sure to find interest here, especially in the second disc. Casual fans, however--if there is such a thing--should begin their journey "inside the nine" with concert film/video collection Disasterpieces. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Voliminal: Inside the Nine Reviews:
This is Awful!
2008-08-21 - This thing really stinks. It opens with a man urinating into a toilet. Later, a guy gets drunk and starts puking. Who needs to see that? The live footage was shot by Shawn Crahan onstage. It should have been done professionaly like on Disasterpieces, a much better DVD. No insight is provided here about the band, what their lives are like on the road, etc. Stay away from this.

Why did I watch this?
2008-03-06 - Being from Iowa and in middle school when Slipknot first hit big I have loved everything they have done. So, now I am in college and going to a school right outside of Des Moines and I still have been supporting all they have done. So, when I was driving around one day and heard the local radio station was going to show this in a theatre the day it came out and only doing one show, I thought I just had to go. I went and spent twenty dollars and was beyond excited to be able to see it. So, I show up and see that there really is no one there and I was blown away. It's the Knot's home town, why is no one here? Well I soon realized exactly why no one wanted to watch it. This is absolutley terrible. I thought about getting up and leaving multiple times. The only thing that kept me there was the scene where the crowd rushed the stage and went crazy. I don't know for sure but I think it is from show in Council Bluffs that I was actually at and it was awesome to see. Sure showed them to try and charge Knot fans different prices to see em. So the movie was a waste of time and twenty dollars I should have just bought the thing so atleast I could find something to do with the movie and not be left with nothing.

GREATEST
2007-08-07 - The first disc (the movie) is a little artsy, but not bad. It is alot of drinking, vomiting and cut up concert clips. The second disc is great with interviews, live footage and music videos. Slipknot is my favorite metal band. In Satans Army, Slipknot are the Special Forces. Must have for all Slipknot fans. Waiting for a reunion!!!

Not quite what I had expected.
2007-07-16 - This DVD isn't necessarily bad. However it isn't quite what I had expected. I was looking for something more like Disasterpieces, a concert DVD. However this has very little actual performance. More focus is on strange random video clips, and interviews. The unmasked interviews on the second disc are very cool however. But if you're looking for a straight concert DVD, this is not for you.

Dumbest...thing....EVER!!!
2007-04-26 - I love Slipknot but I'm pissed that they allowed this piece of garbage into the hands of the maggot faithful. Disc1 is without a doubt the stupidest piece of[..]Ive ever seen. Why did i pay to watch some no-name idiot band roadie/hanger-on chug Jager and puke. Or watch someone else unclog a toilet, Im not kidding thats how this thing opens. Watching someone take a piss up close, or watching thier security goons beat up a fan half thier size, is this supposed to be "hardcore" or "heavy"?? The audio is terrible, you cant even tell what song is being played. I think this was put together as an art project by Saint Marys School for the Deaf and Blind. Disc2 (almost) makes up for it with interviews and videos but I'm very disappointed in the "feature". Shame on you Slipknot, you pride yourself in not exploiting your fans and you unleash this steaming heap on us. So I have to say, I loved Disasterpieces, but I will NEVER buy another Slipknot DVD. I hope you get pelted with these discs at your next show. I want my [...] back, from you, personally, with an apologiy scribbled on the bill.
