Whitecross
The Reign Goes On (Video)
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
When this video first filled the t.v. screen, I thought, "Oh no, not another rehash of 'Metal Mission' footage!" But then I noticed live footage from Cornerstone '91, and new edits of songs like "No Second Chances" (which includes the "missing" graveyard footage that I knew was taped at the "Metal Mission" filming, but didn't show up in that package). Then I saw the rare "Walk With Me" video filmed for the Fire By Night program, and then...I saw the video I've been waiting to see since I heard of its filming almost a year ago--"Down". Now I was happy, but the video continued on. One of Rex Carroll's guitar solos and a Michael Feighan drum solo were featured, as was a live version of "You Will Find It There" (from C-Stone '91). Wow! Whitecross never looked so good. I was all prepared for a let-down, and I came away impressed...almost. Most of it was shot on 3/4 inch video, so it isn't as high quality as the mega-buck stuff you'll see on MTV, but it does serve as a very good docu-metal look at a hot band. As a whole, it's a very good package.
