A collection definitely for the true Z'nuff fan and anyone else who likes to see the real side of a band rather than the shiny commercial side. We join 'chirpy' Chippy, 'deranged' Donnie, Derek 'the fridge' Frigo and Vikki (is that really a girl?) Fox, as they recline by the side of a pool one Sunday afternoon off from recording. Chip 'chirps' away about how things are going and how long their days usually are as regards work.
"Fly high, Michelle" takes us through a psychedelic "Sergeant Pepper's" scene. I don't know whether it was my TV or the vid itself, but the sound was rather distorted for this one number.
If you've never seen Chicago, 'Chipolony' takes us on a trip around his neighborhood where we meet Mr. Pissed Off Pizza Man, who's definitely got a 'chip' on his shoulder because he's owed for consumed comestibles. Then we peek through the window of Chip's local low-budget clothes shop. Everyone is so friendly. If I were him, I'd get some popularity injections.
There's plenty of live coverage and some real miming as well. Well, that's what it looks like they're doing on "I Could Never Be Without You," filmed at a beachside concert where the tits are ripe and bouncy.
Charisma is something that they all possess except maybe 'Chipit,' who seems to have gotten his in kit form and has to work to keep it together. The "New Thing" vid is a real goodie as are the rest.
Eric schmerick 'the fridge' reckons that the ZeeeNuffs would be lost without him in a world of 70s music, whilst Vikki the hormone replacement victim doesn't actually say anything, but he's a great visual drummer.
All in all, it's worth the dosh.
