"When I decided to buy this, I knew it wasn't an official Linkin Park documentary. But I didn't think it'll be this bad. First of all, how can you have a documentary of LP without their music on the DVD. It had music from other bands in the background while people (no members of LP) talked about them and the history of how LP came about. There were clips of streets and some other band playing music. There were a few clips of Linkin Park but it was from somewhere else (it wasn't made specifically for this DVD). And the other shots of LP were just pictures of them. The DVD will bore you if you already know the history of LP. I learned a few things about them but I still don't think this DVD is worth it.
As for the CD, it just contained a few interviews with Linkin Park that they had done with radio stations, etc. The CD wasn't too bad. It was certainly better than the DVD in my opinion.
The makers of this documentary didn't have any direct contact with the members of the band, which is why the DVD contained interviews with other people that had associated with LP. I don't recommend buying this at all. I really liked their DVD "Frat Party at the Pancake Festival". That's a good one if you don't already own it. Although it is from 2001. I wish they would make another one like it. I also recommend their "From the Inside" book too. Just don't buy this documentary. I'll stick with official stuff in the future. I hope this review helps."
Pretty Good

"Ok the DVD is not authorized by the band, but it's a whole lot better than some unauthorized dvds, at least there's a whole bunch of footge of LP in there [although no music by them], I liked it and it's as good as you can expect for this type of thing - until the band bring out their own documentary at least there's something out there.
The interview CD is really good as i've never heard these tapes before - and with most interviews once they're aired they're gone forever, at least a product like this archives them for posterity.
