| BORN TO BE WILD THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICAN ROCK BBC Documentary 2014 (3 DVDs) DVD Format: NTSC Source: Pro-Shot (Multi Camera) Video Quality: Rating: 9.0 Menus: No Chapter Selection: Every 5 Min. Widescreen: Yes HD: Yes Total Running Time: 180 Min. About Documentary: I directed the final part of BBC Four's Born to be Wild. The 1980s. The documentary series covers the Golden Age of American rock and is the centrepiece of the channel's United States of Rock season which has been running throughout January. By the 1980s, mainstream American rock music had moved far away from the protest and revolution of the 1960s and was more concerned with sex, drugs, partying and having a good time. All the time. Hey it was the 80s so it was allowed, apparently. And naturally everything was bigger and more outrageous than before, from the epic guitar solos right down to the ludicrous hairstyles. The single most important influence on the sound and look of 80s American rock was MTV - the 24-hour music television channel set up in 1981 that went on to seemingly create superstars overnight. As music journalist, Rob Tannenbaum, says: "In the music business anything that succeeds is instantly imitated over and over again on a larger scale, until it fails." In the case of 1980's American rock, this applies to the pop metal bands that came to be collectively known as Hair Metal on account of their hilarious barnets. Inspired by Van Halen and led by Mötley Crüe, a succession of LA rock bands (and others from other parts of the USA) took over the TV channel with their raucous, pop metal anthems. Following MTV exposure their popularity exploded all over the country. Naturally there was a record company signing frenzy and by the end of the decade America's airwaves were saturated with this so-called Hair Metal. |

First at all, you need to understand, all those DVDs are rare stuff made by fans with home software and equipment, of course nothing offer on this site is compare with original DVDs, the quality varies on each titles. EXAMPLE: I recorded a broadcast in 1978 and I saved the tape in my basement for 30 years and I found the tape and I decided to put the video on DVD, no video remastered or audio, I just put on DVD; you can imagine the quality right? Of course is not gonna be really good quality or HD, this is the parameter for this kind of DVDs, not all are bad, not all are good, but you need to keep in your mind, this is rare stuff never released on original DVD, the quality is very different on each DVD, in this site you gonna find very good stuff and low quality stuff, that’s why is very important check it out the quality rating, is a tool to give you an idea about the quality, we have old DVDs with very good quality, and old DVDs very low quality, or new stuff HD and new stuff with no good quality.
The HD era change many things and now DVDs than before in 2003-2009 was rated 9.0 or 9.5 now are 8.0 or 8.5, now everything is HD but in the past was not like that, you can see original DVDs from 2000-2008, watch it now on a big screen and look low quality, that happen with many of our DVDs.
