That Metal Show

I didn't watch every episode, but they had some great musicians on.

I was listening to Eddie Trunk on Sirius last week and he said he is working on a pilot for a new show. He said fans bombarded MTV when they realized the show was cancelled. He can't use TMS name but sounds like he is rolling with something new with the same format.

And if you don't have Sirius, you should get it to listen to his show. He does 4 hours on Mondays and talks to the same people that he had on TMS all the time. Last Monday it was Don Dokken talking about the Japanese reunion shows Dokken is doing. Good stuff.

Hopefully Eddie can get something going. He's got a big mouth and can push for stuff to get going. Hopefully the same guys are involved. Jim Florentine is hilarious and Don Jamieson is decent on the show, but his stand-up is awful.

I've discovered over a dozen bands because of this show. UFO, Fozzy, Rival Sons, Crobot, to name a few.

The show is cool. I am not a fan of the Don Jameison guy, but I like the other two.

The show brings back the people who were drowned out in the 1990's such as Banali, e.g. I like that it's a tribute to the people we never forgot, but the music industry did.

I think Trunk can launch a very successful show.

* I think Richard Blade needs to do this for the first wave. I love metal and I love British new wave equally.

The show kept rock/metal music out there while letting people know that the music wasn't dead.

They were really good at exposing new music to the public that watched them.

Is it me or does it seem like Eddie got funnier as the show ran on? By the end of the run, it seemed like he was getting a lot of laughs.
