Review:

We've always wondered "whatever happened to Rick Savage." Unfortunately, you can't just Google the guy's name because he shares it with one of the guys who was in Def Leppard. As if anyone even gives a fuck about them anymore. Or for that matter even remembers who they were. We have Pyromania on casette. Because we're that fucking old.

However, being old-timers also has its advantages. Because we also have a copy of The Scarlet Bride on VHS. That was a great movie. And all because of one scene, which was Rick Savage fucking Tori Welles. The scene itself wasn't shot very well, poorly lit with muddy colour and terrible editing (the same sequences being repeated several times, and in the wrong order), but the chemistry between the two leads was amazing.

Which is why we've always wondered whatever happened to Rick Savage. (We've also wondered whatever happened to Tori Welles, who we absolutely worshipped back in the day, but that's another story.)

Well, apparently he's doing a bunch of bondage videos. He looks a bit older, and he's grown a beard, but otherwise he still has that same nasty prick air about him that made him so good in The Scarlet Bride. An attitude that works really well with this kind of material.

So anyway, what we have here are basically a bunch of bondage videos with Rick dishing out the punishment to various amateur models. "Pussy punishment and tit torture" are what's promised, and that's mostly what Rick delivers. Expect tied up titties, clothespins on nipples, clamps, ball gags, rope work, hot wax, and lashings. No sex in any of the stuff we saw, but your basic bondage repertoire is all here.

Site layout is pretty straightforward but we still didn't like it very much. The movies are all available for download in QuickTime format (not our favourite), in both high (1000 kb/s) and low (400 kb/s) versions. Each full episode is divided into five or six segments of varying length. One thing that we really would have appreciated was some file info to guide us in the downloads. Like if the first clip in one episode is 5 megs and the second clip is 200 megs (which was the case on one occasion), they could at least tell you that. Also, since the different clips do seem to correspond to distinct movements within each episode, more thumbnailing would help as well.  

At the time of our visit there were 59 episodes up total, which is pretty good but not huge. However they had just launched and were updating weekly, which is a good sign. Along with the videos you also get just over 100 photo galleries. These were just average quality. Better than vidcaps, but still frequently over and underexposed, and not huge (the exact size varies quite a bit, but on average they're 600x800).

When it comes to the actual movies the big plus is Rick himself. He's got attitude and he knows how to work a great bondage scene. Unfortunately it looks like he's filming a lot of the stuff himself and it sometimes shows in having to re-focus and fix lighting. He should get someone to do the camerawork for him. The main negative is that some of the talent he has to work with isn't great. That's not too surprising as there aren't a whole lot of great-looking babes who will do nasty bondage scenes and it seems like the idea here is to go with amateurs, but still there were only a handful of girls here we could really get into. Sadly that goes for most bondage sites. But you know the score.

The site offers a bunch of bonus feeds but not much in the way of interaction or extras. However, it is part of something called Members Extreme (external link), which is a group of similar bondage sites you get access to for an extra $15. These sitse are (external links): Amateur Bondage Videos (with "Master Len"), Fem Dominas, Pain Freaks, Pure Spanking, Titanic Titties, and Tokyo Slaves.

It's a close call as to whether the network membership is worth it. There's quite a mix of killer and filler. Titanic Titties, for example, seemed to be full of big tit stuff we've seen before in a lot of different places. We're not sure how much of the other sites have exclusive content. But some of them looked pretty good, and they cater to slightly different niches. We thought RickSavage.com was the best in the line-up though, and comes at a pretty reasonable rate for a fetish site. Since the membership pass is kind of pricey we think it might be all you need.
