Limp Bizkit - Newcomers to the scene at the time, definetly the worst performance on the video. Fred walks too much like a duck during Counterfeit and his voice fades away all the time because he can't just stand still. Nothing against them or anything, but they did a really weak job. 2/5

Ice Cube - Probably the most interesting part of the tour. Ice Cube does the best he can with a rock crowd and wins over a few fans. One of the best moments on this video happens while Cube is performing "F--- tha Police" and it zooms in on some cop in the crowd with his arms crossed who looks like he's about to cry. It would have been nice to have seen Korn come out with him for "F--- Dying" instead of just sampling the guitar work. Still, a very very entertaining and energetic performance. 5/5

Orgy - Like Limp Bizkit, they were newcomers at the time and NO ONE was into their show. But they did a really good job performing and I liked the interlude they did before "Stitches." Really bad filming though on this part. 4/5

Rammstein - If you have the uncensored version, you know what this parts all about. Definetly quite a few moments to remember. When David talks about Rammstein being taken away by the cops, close your eyes. Trust me, it is very very gross. 4/5

Korn - Obviously the band that the whole crowd was there to see, and everyone obviously loved every minute of it. Lots of great backstage stuff, like the birthday party backstage, in between songs. Korn pull out some of their best songs, taking from all 3 (at the time) albums. The longest performance on the video, clocking in at about 45 minutes. Look closely during "All in the Family" and you can spot all the members of Incubus. 5/5

Overall, this is a great home video, and very fun to watch, but the filming was REALLY bad and the sound quality was horrible. More interviews with Ice Cube and Rammstein would have been appreciated. I suggest you buy this though, you really won't be disappointed.

(Just for the record: The reason why no Incubus performances were included on the home video is because they weren't officially on the tour. They came on for the last week or so to fill in for Ice Cube, who had to shoot "Three Kings." Just so you know.)

With the Internet, recordable compact discs, and mp3 technology well on its way to destroying the CD distribution market. DVD music videos are probably the recording industry's only saving grace, the sound and special added features completely destroys anything video can reproduce, and I'm eagerly awaiting the release of many of my favorite music videos onto this new medium. Like Pink Floyd: The Wall, The Family Values 1998 Tour is a video that I almost bought on compact disc when it was first released, and now I'm glad that I didn't. Now, not only do I get amazing 5.1 surround sound while listening to some great music, I also get the video images to go with it. The Family Values 1998 Tour is a video diary featuring talented musical acts such as: Orgy; Ice Cube; Rammstein; Korn, and ever popular Limp Bizkit. Lots of fun to be had while watching the Metal / Hip-Hop stage-diving festival. Some of the other footage that was filmed, and never used on the video, could have added to the DVD to make it a little longer. When a disc can contain four hours plus of film, a fan can feel a little cheated when we pay [a lot] for a little over 80 mins of footage.

This is one to rent. Rammstein's live performance was spectacular. It's hard to outshine them in that area. When Till whiped out his fake dick and hosed down the audience.... I hope that freaked some people out who'd never heard of the band. Crazy kinky psycho Germans. Good stuff.

Korn was good too. I loved the All in the Family performance. Definately worth seeing. If you like more than 2 or 3 of the bands, maybe you'd find it worth buying. Like previous reviewers said, there are better DVDs out there for each band. Rammstein fans should definately check out Live Aus Berlin.

The Family Values '98 DVD is basically the same video released on VHS last year. You get 3 live performances from KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Rammstein & Ice Cube, AND in the DVD edition, a photo gallery from the tour. The visual quality was obviously enhanced for DVD, which is good, but remastering the sound for 5.1 surround would have been too much to ask (though standard Dolby Surround is present). Not the best hard rock/metal DVD available, but is a worthy concert video for fans of late 90's trend metal.
