The European Invasion, Doom Trooping DVD is a Must for All Zakk Wylde Fans, BLack Label Society Fans. The DVD Contains 2 DVDS A Live Show from the Paris Chapter that has a Mix of Old songs and New Songs off the Mafia Album. There's also A few Songs Live with the London Chapter, The DVD itself is Wonderfully Filmed, Not like those recorded concerts which have cameras zooming in and out at the wrong time. Also When Zakk Does the Guitar solos for the songs they play they have a close up of his fingering so guitar players can study it if they wish and sometimes you get that mirror effect. On the 2nd disc there's a load of cool stuff of the BLS guys touring around the UK , the States and also three music videos, Suicide Messiah, In this river and Fire It Up plus the making of Suicide Messiah. So Beserkers Its Just Pure Black Label Comedy. I recommend you to get this DVD. Stay Strong and Keep Bleedin' Black label.

The only time I have seen guitar playing better than Jimi Hendrix.

I do not cry easy but when I first saw this; it made me ball my eyes out. When I started getting very heavily into metal music in 1999; Black Label Society was one of my first favorite metal bands. Black Label Society's first CD came out in 1999 and I bought it after researching it in Metal Edge Magazine. That always seemed like a special bond to me. Seeing this video was a huge pat on the back to me; for loving Black Label Society for so long. I bought several of there CD's including the 2003 release of; 1919 Eternal when it first came out. Hearing the song "America the Beautiful" (instrumental), gave me chills. 2001 - 2008 was my motorcycle years so that was also a connection between me and Zak. Also the band being from a neighboring state was a big deal too. The music is so hard driving and sincere and heartfelt. It was everything I could ask from a metal band. I never heard anything like it and I do not think anyone could match their sound and lyrics. I used to brag about the band for years to people; telling them how much I loved it. I also was also enthralled by the skull logo and have based my art on it many times. I got my start doing art for a huge skateboard company in 1988 and skulls was my staple. When I saw this concert video around 2009; I was so blown away by it, it made me cry big wet tears. I never saw them play until I saw this video and Zak seemed like a full blown super hero to me. I did not know who Zak was; until then too. He played with his teeth and behind his back and even played Iron Man with one hand on the fret board. I took lessons in electric guitar as a child so I am very familiar with how hard it is to play. There is so much emotion in this concert video between the audience and the band; it can not help but draw you in. Dedications to Dime Bag and the troops followed by a unreal performances by Zak; is hard rock heaven. It is all about Zak the rest of the band seems to be background but they are still really good. When some dude gets up and continues the jam with Zaks super guitar; it gave me chills. Then when Zak gives the audience the amps and that freaked me out too. From start to finish this is high energy rock and roll unmatched by anything before it and after it. This was Zak in his prime. This guy is a super human dynamo.
