You'll get a short documentary of Al collaborating with John K and Katie Rice on the "Close, But No Cigar" video. It's pretty cool! Not a whole lot of new information, but there's a really brief shot of some animation that apparently was left on the cutting room floor. definitely worth checking out.

I'll just wait here patiently while you all go try that and wonder why it's not working on your copy! Hahaha! I know, I'm evil!

Are you telling the truth, or are you just making this up? (I'm assuming it's just made up, but I'm not sure.) Also, how much of the serial number? Does it include the slightly larger 2's at the begining and end? Also, does it include the dashes? Do you start at 3:42 and enter it while it plays, or do you have to pause it to enter the code?

EDIT: Darn it, I just found the bit of what you typed that was "hidden."

He doesnt like the music videos either and thinks that Al is some weird ego maniac from the documenary. He thought this when Al kept saying to push things back a milisecond. I guess my dad wouldnt understand.

Okay, it is now time to Stop Listening To Dad Where Al is Concerned.

Al's the furthest thing from an egomaniac. The first time I saw him backstage that was the thing that really stood out in my mind. He was perfectly happy to be having a quiet conversation with one person while other conversations were going on all around him. He doesn't have the need to be the center of attention all the time. He IS a perfectionist, of course. And remember, Suzanne shot that footage, but Al edited it. So in that "put it back a millisecond, put it forward a millisecond" bit, I think Al's poking a little fun at his own perfectionism.

Sorry, Barney Slayer! I just couldn't resist. I combed that whole DVD for spoilers and found nothing. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were something really hard to find like the hidden "bloopers" in the Star Wars DVDs.

It's okay, Bruce. Don't worry. It was actually one of the more believable fake easter eggs that people have posted.

I think this was asked before, but is anyone having trouble getting the lyrics to show? Cause I am... I could live without 'em and look through the booklet, but it'd be nice to have 'em right there on screen.

Yeah, the subtitles won't show up at all for me.

Weird. Perhaps it was a printing error like TWAS? I really don't know...

I have no trouble with the lyrics showing up on my DVD player, but when I tried it on my laptop, the subtitles didn't work. I don't really care, though. It's not like I haven't already memorized the entire album already!
