‘Diary Of A Mad Band’, the long-awaited new CD+DVD from DOWN will be released in the U.S. on October 5 via Down Records/ADA. The set will feature footage of DOWN members “tearing up Europe” — literally and figuratively — on their first European tour. This special CD+DVD collection contains over 130 minutes of live video material and a full, never-before-released concert.
In a July 2010 interview with Altsounds, Kirk Windstein stated about the forthcoming DVD, “It’s basically our 2006 reunion tour in chronological order, when we decided to put the band back together and make it a proper band. It’s not like a PANTERA behind-the-scenes [collection of clips], with everybody cutting up and drinking, titties-everywhere kinda thing, because we could never top that ’cause Dime [late PANTERA guitarist ‘Dimebag’ Darrell Abbott] was a genius when it came to stuff like that. We made more of a Seventies-style rock and roll kind of movie like the ones I grew up watching, a lot more along the lines of вЂThe Song Remains The Same’ by LED ZEPPELIN or вЂLet There Be Rock’ by AC/DC. It’s a movie.”
