I can't stand the fat, old fucks on That Metal Show[views:9020][posts:40]_________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 9:38pm - WarlockCommando ""] They are super obnoxious and claim to be metal experts while they seem to know almost nothing about underground metal. I just had to get that off my chest. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 9:40pm - KEVORD ""] They've explained in the past that they are not an underground metal show. They're on VH1 Classic. They represent hard rock and 80's heavy metal. Show is good. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 9:53pm - KEVORD ""] Do Metal fans under 30 really think that mainstream music outlets like MTV and VH1 were talking about Bathory and Death back in the day? The internet has totally confused the youth. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 9:58pm - Burnsy ""] I agree with your point that it's not an underground show. I don't think people are under the impression that MTV used to do specials on bathory but people expect a more balanced approach. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:01pm - WarlockCommando ""] They need to represent SOME underground metal if they aren't gonna call themselves "That 80's Metal Show " |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:04pm - KEVORD ""] Burnsy said: but people expect a more balanced approach. That's bullshit. Most of the people that watch the show think Death Magnetic is killer. Hate to break it to you guys but underground metal fans are a small percentage of the metal and hard rock population. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:05pm - Burnsy ""] Yeah but warlock commandos point about the name is pretty spot on. When you choose a name that paints a broad brush like that, people have expectations of broad coverage. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:07pm - Burnsy ""] I know it's all about ratings but the show comes off as very manowarrior. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:07pm - KEVORD ""] You guys know that most people consider Led Zeppelin Heavy Metal right? |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:08pm - WarlockCommando ""] Plus they do cover newer metal, just extremely mainstream stuff |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:09pm - KEVORD ""] You guys are right. WAAF should play Goatwhore. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:10pm - Burnsy ""] They used to lol. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:13pm - KEVORD ""] Carson Daly played my bathory video on TRL in 1988. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:15pm - YearoftheDragon ""] That show is fuckin gay as Hell, you're exactly right. Especially that fag with the sideburns who's always dissing Iron Maiden while simultaneously sucking Judas Priest's dick, saying JP's 80s material was better than Maiden's, etc. "BYE BYE FUTURE AIDS VICTIM" |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:32pm - Alx_Casket ""] I heard a rumor that only oldfags watch VH1 classic. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:36pm - YearoftheDragon ""] Whatever, cover your bald spot about it |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:38pm - KEVORD ""] Year of the Dragon = born in 1988= Poser |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:39pm - Alx_Casket ""] Cher was born in the 90s |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:40pm - KEVORD ""] Poser |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:43pm - YearoftheDragon ""] You must love mid-80s Judas Priest, nuff said. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:45pm - KEVORD ""] My favorite Priest album is Defenders of the faith and I was alive when it was released. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:53pm - YearoftheDragon ""] That's it: go to the cupboard and get a cookie. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:55pm - goatcatalyst ""] VH1 Classic is my favorite channel. Mid-day bong rips to Rock Show while I steal phat old soundboards for the fuckin |
| _________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 10:55pm - KEVORD ""] I dont know what that means so I'll go to the fridge and get another beer while I count my pubes. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 11:06pm - YOUDOLTS ""] only being born during a certain time frame is real |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 12,2012 11:20pm - Fuck_Logging_In ""] Anyone see Metal Evolution? For a doc on a mainstream station, I thought it was fairly comprehensive. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 12:07am - Headbanging_Man ""] Wait, so defending shitty, watered-down corporate representations of Metal is the path to true trueness? Great advice! [img] |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 12:18am - YearoftheDragon ""] WarlockCommando and Headbanging Man, you tell it like it is. I've seen that show only 'cos of lack of other television at 2A on a weekend morning. But the host with the sideburns sucks pretty bad. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 12:27am - arktouros ""] wait, a music channel is showing music? |
| ______________________________ [Mar 13,2012 7:35am - Yeti ""] this is what you fags get for watching tv. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 8:01am - largefreakatzero ""] KEVORD said:Year of the Dragon = born in 1988= Poser I love these kids that talk like metal experts and they were born 5 to 10 years after the album/band they are pontificating about. Also, the trick is to cut your hair short enough that the bald spot just blends in. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 8:56am - bobnomaamrooney ""] Insta metal denim vest or born in the '90s |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 9:44am - Josh_Martin ""] Show is good when they have good guests. The hosts are lame. I lost all respect when they had a Vulgar Display of Power vs. Reign in Blood debate and Pantera won. But when they have good guests it gets interesting. The Scott Gorham interview was awesome. And you can never go wrong with having a drunk Ace Frehley on your show. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 9:46am - Josh_Martin ""] Oh, and 70's Priest kicks the SHIT out of 80's Priest. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 1:01pm - goatcatalyst ""] Also: Glenn Hughes residency. This thread is littered with F-word N-words who don't know shit about mk III Purple and T-word J-words who never listened to Sir Lord Baltimore |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 1:13pm - Josh_Martin ""] I was just listening to a Bolin era bootleg the other day. It was from the night that he accidentially shot up into a nerve and they had to tune his guitar all weird cause he could only move one finger on his left hand. Man, I thought I had bad nights...... |
| ______________________________ [Mar 13,2012 1:15pm - Yeti ""] dude.... |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 1:31pm - goatcatalyst ""] They partied. I like the story where Blackmore conjured Lucifuge Rofocale into a syringe and injected Coverdale when he was passed out |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 13,2012 1:34pm - Josh_Martin ""] HA! I found one song on youtube from that gig. He acutally pulls if off for a bit, but WAIT until the solo. Wow! I thought I had bad nights...... bennyhillifier |
