...a fuckin joke! BLS, Powerman 5000, Gwar, Sevendust and, to top it off, this worthless gang of ass-clowns

My god i couldnt agree more.

they have good music videos, I know they do, but instead they decide to show the same korn song fucking twice.
I guess its not all bad, they did have a special last week that went from 9:30 to 1:30 and they showed Nile, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Opeth, Iron Maiden, Dark Tranquillity and much more that i cant think off right now because im tired.
They even showed the music video for Believe in Nothing, and may I ask, what the hell is that film clip about? maybe because it was late at night, but I didnt really understand the meaning behind it. Was it an excuse to blow shit up? anyway, its still a good music vid.
 
we have a metal top 5 in here and we choose which music videos is on it, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, we have Dragonforce like every week, but we also have bands like Iron Maiden, Deicide, Darkthrone (to my surprise), Amon Amarth, you get the picture. At the end of each palmares, they play an old school vid. Like a few weeks ago, we have "Good Day to Die" from Exodus or an old song from Napalm Death or even a Morbid Angel song............
 
You want music videos? Just watch Youtube. It's not like they are going to introduce you to some rare, obscure 80's thrash/prog band. You watch it to see some classic metal video that is hardly ever shown. So just look it up on Youtube since it will be there.
 
I couldn't agree more, the first hour was alright last night but the second hour was all crap.

and do they need to show that lame ass Cradle of filth promo 30 times an hour???
 
i caught bits and peices of it last night. i have to say, i dont care for those cgi videos, sure eddie acting like king kong is great, but videos like that just seem like an easy way out. and i enjoyed the gwar video. id always watch that over the other whiny/hardcore/whateverthefuck stuff they play on there.

Well, there is also the studio video for the same song. The studio version looks much better. It's pretty cool to see the band in the studio together.
 
I think the Gwar video and the Clutch video were the only ones I watched. I always try and tape it for the 1-2 watchable videos they do play per week. I caught Jasta backstage at the Ozzfest kick off and asked him about playing more new videos from the classic bands and he pretty much brushed me off as diplomaticly as he could. :D I know the playlist has very little to do with him, but I know he has the power to at least bring an idea to the suits that do make the playlists.
 
the biggest problem i have with headbangers ball now is that a lot of the stuff they play is just boring. stuff like everytime i die or other generic metalcore bands. theres still a few good vids every once in a while so i'll watch it if i'm eating or something like that.
