"Well, the reason I'm complaining about this DVD is because many people are going to be misled by it's name. It's NOT a DVD with songs from the Americana album. The video quality is very poor (they say it's on purpose when the video starts, but there's no mention to it on the outside of the box)and the songs are from the older albums. It would have been nice if they had included the music videos from the Americana album. Only for the biggest fans..."
Only for the hardcore fans!!

"Ok, some people say this DVD is poor quality, and it is, but on purpose. It was shot entirly with old home video equipment. Its not a multi-million dollar hollywood production because the Offspring aren't into that. Anyways, it has a lot of action such as Skateboarders, BMXers, and even the offspring themselves street luging. Also, its got some random bits like a bunch of guys trying to get beer, and some scenes set to the music of the Offspring. There really isnt much to do with Americana on this DVD which is fine with me becaue Im more of a fan of Smahs, Ignition and Ixnay. Theres some live concert footage, but I would have liked to see more of that, plus it lacks any kind of music video. Thats the reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. If it had contained all of their music videos through Americana this would have been the best Offspring Item to own!!"

"This DVD is awesome. It has classic Offspring material and very cool action scenes. For a true fan this is a must have. My favorite is skating with lightsabers! Wonderfully put together DVD."
Excellent DVD!

"Yes, just like that (stupid) guy said in that review, it has a bad quality, but the DVD in the back says: "This is not a Hollywood Production, just The Offspring & Friends" and also a lot of things that "tell you" that the video only contains stuff about the band, not from the Americana album.This video is intended to "show" the origins of the band, and it's hillarious sometimes. If you want some Offspring entertainment, this is the item you must have.(And get "Huck It" if you want 'stuff' from the latest album and some extreme sports, and funny things too)."
