Editorial Review:
If you're looking for some no-nonsense hard rock riffage, Motorhead - Stage Fright is your destination. The Teutonic power trio, who've been around for over 30 years, have a lean, muscular musical attack that clearly influenced not only heavy metal (with its bludgeoning thunder) but also punk rock (with its no-frills minimalism). Phillip Campbell's guitar technique blisters with ruthless efficiency as he rips through Motorhead classics like Ace of Spades, backed by Mikkey Dee's ferocious and buoyant drumming. But the master of ceremonies is towering Lemmy, the lead singer/bassist with mighty muttonchops; though he keeps his stage patter sparse--the band frequently segues straight from one song into another--his humor and charisma are clearly the focal point. Visually, Stage Fright--filmed in Dusseldorf, Germany, before a mob of sweaty, head-bobbing adolescent males (with occasional glimpses of a rare girl)--depends heavily on rapid editing and the relentless throb and flicker of the light show, as the band is pretty much a stand-there-and-play bunch. But by the end, even nonbelievers may find themselves bobbing along with Dancing on Your Grave or Going to Brazil or the acoustic Whorehouse Blues.
The second dvd of this two-dvd set is an extensive exploration of Motorhead's backstage world. While a non-fan might think that including interviews with Lemmy's bass technician or the band's potty-mouthed cook is the height of rock narcissism, the opposite is true; Motorhead are about the least pretentious rock stars you'll ever see. The genuine family feeling among the band and crew is enviable and results in a raffish, enjoyable portrait of life on the road. Also included is a montage of fan tattoos, interactive features, ringtones and wallpaper, and the full text of the band's backstage rider, which dictates the booze and candy that the band expects to find in their dressing rooms. All in all, Stage Fright is an honest and entertaining portrait of one of rock-and-roll's most resilient bands. --Bret Fetzer
Lemmy Kilmister explains his unabatedly passionate relationship with his own band and its varied history as follows: "Mot rhead is not only my job it s my whole life." The legendary group is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year looking back on a unique career. Mot rhead have sparkled on the world s most prestigious stages graced countless important music magazine covers and released numerous rock classics. The fact that this band counts among the most authentic and charismatic rock acts world-wide is without a doubt due to the never-tiring enthusiasm of Lemmy who continues to live his own visions of musical earthiness irrespective of trends and fashions. This latest Mot rhead release entitled Stage Fright is a double DVD and not merely a rock n roll statement chiseled into stone but also an extraordinary look at the band s life.

Rating: - After this #1 Motorhead fan..
Trully HD, sound and songs blasting, first time I buy anything from Motorhead and now I have become a loyal fan. Haven't seen the extras buy who cares, I just got metallized with the concert and great production that was developed for this product.
Rating: - Sweet
Awesome stuff for a concert DVD, absolutely love it. Now we have the tools we need to see them at the Metal Masters Tour!
Rating: - We're Motorhead...we play R&R
As Lemmy says, they rock...!
They play their music with such synchronization that there is no room for mistakes. The songs are very good and the performance brilliant.
If you like Hard Rock, you found your disk.
Rating:  - For all Motörhead fans, this is a must!
Excellent DVD! It definitively captures the energy of a Motörhead show, as I saw it on Caracas, April 25th 2007. Highly recommended to all Motörhead fans, as it contains old and new material, dated from the 2004 Inferno tour... My only complaint is actually the DVD itself, which came scratched, hence with some jumps in the video...
Rating: - Almost perfect, but not quite
I review DVD concerts in three primary areas: Audio, Video, Performance. I do not review DVD "extras", only the main concert.
Audio: This concert is a little lacking on the bass (surprising, considering Lemmy is obnoxiously loud in person) but minor tweaking on the tone controls brought my subwoofer to life and made it sound like the real thing. If you don't have bass and treble control, or an equalizer (or if your subwoofer volume is already maxed out) this concert might sound a bit ... Read More
