Thrash, beer and stage diving… and more Thrash, beer and stage diving. That’s what it’s all about here on DVD 1. Tankard is a Thrash metal-beer attack and it’s quite funny to watch. “Fat, ugly and Still (A)Live” was filmed at the Batschkapp in Frankfurt/Main, Germany on the 25th of May 2005 and they thrash the shit out of most bands out there… while drinking BEER!

Tankard is thrashing the crowd through 24 tracks… yes 24 tracks, boys and girls! More than 2 hours of Thrash, moshing, and stage divers… and of course BEER. It’s quite funny to watch in my opinion. Tankard is interacting with the crowd throughout the whole show and sometimes they even insult them a bit… very funny indeed.

With multiple camera angles you get a good view on what’s happening in the crowd and on the stage, so it’s a must for every Tankard fan out there. After the show we get 4 video clips: “The Morning After”, “Space Beer”, “Mind on the Moon” and “Tanze Samba with me” plus an interview and a photo gallery.  

DVD 2 contains “Outtakes”. Some kind of a Tankard home video, where we follow the band around the world… in Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece and so on… in concerts and before and after the shows, drinking beer and kidding around with the local people. Almost 2 hours of pure fun.  

- To ALL Tankard fans out there; - Get this DVD… you won’t regret it.
