DVD: Metallica: The Videos 1989 - 2004

Although Metallica didn't bother to make a video until their fourth proper album — and then delivered a clip that was over seven minutes long and incorporated scenes with dialogue from the 1971 film Johnny Got His Gun — they did go on to embrace the form and make some of the more memorable hard rock videos to hit the airwaves. The DVD Metallica: The Videos 1989 - 2004 collects all 21 of the band's clips remixed in 5.1 surround sound.

Highlights include:

NEW RELEASE: Tom Waits "Lie To Me"

Having already treated us to more releases than we could have possibly expected over the the past few years, the usually reclusive Tom Waits now unleashes the barnclearing box set Orphans. "Lie To Me" kicks off the Brawlers disc of the set and it is indeed a rough-hewn, rollicking kick ass blast of garage blues. The video picks up on that vibe with a series of b&w photographs that show him rocking out on the guitar in a dirty, cluttered driveway. --> watch "Lie To Me"
