| The ice cube, korn sets are worth the price alone to buy this family value cd. Orgy does a good job, Rammstein devlivers on their hit DU Hast. Limp Bizkit's version of Jump around is so damm funny you can't help to laugh at the band. If you love Korn and Ice cube buy this cd. |

The Family Values Tour is a joke, just look at the bands on here: Korn, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, and Rammstein. NONE of them are any good, as they're all pathetic nu-metal s***. Only 12-year-olds would like this.
If you want a good tour CD, get Gigantour, that has real metal. |

And that's very true. Orgy had the best set here. KoRn was decent, Rammstein should have had more tracks as should have Incubus, but it was nice to see Bizkit drop some nice tracks not included on their albums like 'Cambodia' and 'Jump Around'. Ice Cube, no matter what you think, held his own here and is serves us a worthy track selection. Too bad 'Family Values' don't come around no more but with Limp sucking now a dayz it would be pointless. Still, this is a solid album with great live performances...could have been better but then again, it's very rare you hit something perfect.

| I see that Rammstein peformed on this tour, but where are the songs by them? OK, so they have Du Hast, but common, they have like 20 great songs! Korn and Bizkit suck, let us all understand that who aren't 12 year olds. Orgy and Rammstein need more tracks on this album! What is wrong with the people that made this??? |

i'll be first to say that i was totally unimpressed with the sets by korn and limp bizkit but extremely surprised when orgy played the best set by far on this entire album. like many people i bought it when it first came out in 1998/1999 at which point it quickly earned a place at the bottom of my pile of cd cases. i was still a fan of korn at this point and "nu-metal" in general before it was actually called that. what can i say, it all seems silly and stupid in retrospect (and it probably is) but for about a year it seemed like this kind of music was going to be THE new alternative movement in america; comparisons to nirvana and the seattle sound were rampant in music publications. as we all know, this forecast came to naught and record sales started to slip around the time the three year mark of the 1999 breakthroughs of many of these bands was reached. everyone likes to pretend they weren't picking their jaw up off the floor the first time they heard anything from the first three korn albums now that that kind of music has fallen out of favor into the bottomless pit of passe, but the energy from these bands was definately infectious for the time (except for limp bizkit, who always sucked). the first two orgy albums and first three korn albums still remain a guilty pleasure of mine, having come before they became the generic has-beens they are now. out of all the bands featured on this album, korn seems to be the only one (barring incubus) that even has a single leg left to stand on nowadays.
anyway, onto the music. most of the people that bought this album way back in 1998 bought it for either the korn or limp bizkit tracks, obviously. limp bizkit sounds ok but their music is another matter. in short, you can't polish a turd. korn, on the other hand, sound genuinely bad on many of the tracks. jonathan davis sings like he has the flu while fieldy seems to have doubled his bass volume when the engineer wasn't looking before the show. munky and head sound buried much farther in the mix than they should be. overall, a sense of muddiness prevails. the shot liver medley is about the only salvagable thing korn did with their alotted time on the album. the opening bagpipe strains of "shoots and ladders" float out ethereally and then proceed to fall into a mishmash of recent and older korn songs. ice cube and rammstein sound about like you'd expect them to, a huge-scale listening party of their album. this is to be expected; they aren't relying largely on unpredictable conventional instruments to create their on-stage sound and as such sound much more cohesive.
the biggest surprises by far on this entire live album came courtesy of then-newcomers orgy. they were still very much rookies when they played the first family values tour and even now they come across as strikingly tight, cohesive, punchy, and fresh. as such, orgy takes the cake for the best performance on the album.
case in point, i wouldn't run out and buy this album just because you like the bands on it. many of them have released other live volumes that are generally of higher quality to date. most of the music, although less than 6 years old, sounds sorely dated; especially given the shake-ups in the rock landscape over the past few years. |

great cd. several minor problems- why the intros? take them out, and we could have more Rammstein and Incubus. alternatively, take out the Limp Bizkit song that ISN'T a cover; the other two are much than it. the Korn songs are great (since they are an excellent band you can't expect bad from them). considering I don't like live recordings, you know this one must be good for me to give it such a good rating.
here are 2 other good live "sampler" cds (I call them that because usually they have the hit songs from the artists):

| This album is INCREDIBLE. This is coming from a person that can't stand live albums. I was quite impressed by the sound quality, and crowd interaction. My favorite part of this album is the fact that it introduced me to so many different artists. I wasn't into Incubus, Orgy, or Ice Cube; now I have every CD of all those bands. I was really impressed at the live performances. Having missed the tour I DEFINITELY had to get the album. I'm a HUGE Korn fan so that is the reason why I got this, but in all honesty I listen to the other bands more than I do the Korn tracks. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys any of these bands: Korn, Limp Bizkit, Ice Cube, Incubus, or Orgy Ramstein Thanks fatti |

| Some of you may have seen my review for Family Values 99, more sop how I didn't like it too much. Therefore I feel justified in reviewing FV 98. This Cd is the better of the two so far by a long shot. It is because of this CD that I went and bought all the Incubus, Orgy and Rammstein CD's. Every track on this CD is worthy of its place, although I am a little disappointed that both Rammstein and Incubus only have one track each. Both of these bands are extremely talented and deserve more praise and promotion. Orgy has a great sound on this CD, I would almost say that they sound better here then on their own album. I love the way that the drums really come through on their set here. Korn and Limp Bizkit put in good performances, and although not being a huge LB fan, I really love Faith and Counterfeit. I don't like Ice Cube at all, but they are present on this CD so Rap fans should be happy. I would also recommend that you pick up the FV 98 video, it too is excellent. A word of warning - the video DOES contain the Rammstein Buck Dich performance complete with fake phallus. In all, if you are looking for a CD that has great metal, industrial and rap then FV 98 will suit your taste. Definately better then FV 99. |
