"Earns a predictable place on my list. Satch gives a guitaring showcase but retains all the all-round aspects of a non-guitarist album. Good first-choice album for new Satriani fans."
"This album is worth the money just for "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and the beautiful "Fade To Black" where Hetfield's voice really started to sound good."
"OK, I'm pretty sick of this album now because I've listened to it so damn much but hey, it deserves it. From start to finish, RATM never once seems to loose it's power. Simply awesome."
"Apart from the stupid and sometimes annoying talky bits in some songs, this is amazing. Of course, For The Love Of God gets the usual mention but this really is a good place to start for Vai virgins."
"The BEST place to start for Nine Inch Nails, this live album contains all the best NIN songs. The emotional "Hurt" and the all-too-popular "Closer" bow down to amazing tracks like "Wish" & "Gave Up""
"This is the only album I would INSIST belongs in EVERY collection. Purely because it caters for EVERYONE'S taste. The earth-moving power of Rage and the spine-tingling voice of Soundgarden..."
"Ex-Black Sabbath guitar maestro reels in your curiosity with guest voices like Dave Grohl and Phil Anselmo. Nice riffs that you'll have a hard time getting out of your head."
"Satch, Vai & Johnson on ONE DISC!!! Satch predictably sounds great but maybe chose the wrong songs but Vai more than makes up for it with a beautiful live FTLOG and a powerful "Attitude Song""
"Satch is back in 2002 and still refuses to drop lower his standards. You forget all the ranting about his speed when you listen to this album, instead losing track of time to songs like Starry Night."
"There's definately no lack of arpeggios on this album!!! Throwing them in whenever possible but you soon forget with crackers like "New Born" and "Space Dementia"."
