Down: Tokyo Show Filmed For DVD

Down/ex-Pantera bassist Rex Brown has told TheTelegraph.com that Down shot a recent show live in Tokyo for release on DVD in 2009. "No overdubs. It's straight and raw as you can get it," Brown said.

In an interview with Billboard.com conducted this past week, Brown said that Down plans to release a documentary of its 2006 reunion after a nearly four-year hiatus, including both live and behind-the-scenes footage. "It's kind of about us learning how to walk together again," Brown said of the film, which is not yet finished and is so far untitled. "It just chronicles the life on the road of us starting to play again. We're right in the middle of it now."

Brown, who joined Down in 1999, also promised that a new version of Down's 1995 debut, "NOLA", with him playing bass, "will definitely happen" but hasn't been planned yet.

Great, but what does that guy from the GNR tribute band who pretends to be Slash think of it??

Sounds cool, I'll probably go pick this up when it comes out.

Wow, someone else has the same favourite bands as I do! ) I've seen down live and they ****ing rocked! Hope AIC will come to Finland when their new album comes out! \m/ Love the fact that Anselmo loves AIC too!

[Mad-Season]

The dvd sounds awesome. But I don't see the benefit of releasing a new version of NOLA. It's a great album as it is! Just because Rex isn't on it? Big deal! He's amazing, don't get me wrong, but the album's been done, he wasn't in the band, that's just the way it goes. If bands were to re-release albums every time they got a new member all we'd be drowning in re-issues!
