The Headbangers Ball is sooooo stupid

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

It's even worse than the original. Why do they keep playing the same fucking video's week after week? I mean shit. It's mostly lame emocore or whatever. Hatebreed, fuck off. Plus they play old, overplayed video's from like Dio and Judas Priest and expect us to care. The least they could have done was dig out Painkiller and play that. And then there's Metallica. What the hell is that, a rehearsal tape? An answering machine message? A recording made in the steam room at Lars' bath house?

It was nice seeing SYL last week though. Bad video, but still....

Anyway, Metalmania on VH1 Classics is so much fucking better. Nuclear Assault was on last week and Practice What You Preach from Testament this week. Yay and shit!

I think they're still working on it. The first one was all mall core but at last now they're playing Hate Eternal and Arch Enemy. If only there was a way to filter out Staind and Slipknot. I think it's getting better but out of two hours, there's only about 5 cool videos.

 

[Nightmarez]

They play some worth-while videos. And you have to take the good with the bad... I'm willing to sit through Stone Sour and Slipknot to see Neurosis, Poison The Well, and Strapping Young Lad.

 

[Astral Poetry]

Yeah, I saw Strapping Young Lad, Hate Eternal, and Kataklysm on it last night.

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

way too much TV for you.....

 

[LuminousAether]

I saw Lamb of God and Underoath on it, both pretty good bands.

they need to get rid of the idiots running it and play more music, no more 8 minute commercial breaks after a 3 minute shitty video by Poison the Well (ugh), and get out the little played Dio videos and some more real metal. Ravenous was good, then Hate Eternal is real metal too, although I'm not a big fan of them, Chimaira was decent, I was kind of sick of the Dio song they played, but beter then Stone SOur, and it wasn't that interesting. at least the Slipknot video was 'Wait and Bleed' which some of is tolerable.
I enjoyed it by muting it during the crap and playing chess with the shit on the muted TV.

I think that if they don't turn things around soon , not very many people will tune in. It's truely a lame show. I care more for the old show. And you're right the Metal Mania Or Uranium have better stuff on there from time to time...

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

Uranium. What's that?

 

[plfffffft]

I did like Iann robinson's "Metal Report" or whatever it's called no this weeks show, because it let me know that Morbid Angel is recording a new album with Steve Tucker back on bass and vocals. I really like Tucker, and if we can't have Vincent back in the band, I'd rather see Steve Tucker than anyone else. I also liked the little caption at the bottom of the screen when he was talking about Dave Mustaine's solo album: "Hello, Dave, Meet Solo Dave." I found that kind of amusing.

just ignore it and move on, you know that they are only raping the metal bands that got on there. plus, if everyone would just ignore (which is the worst thing you can do to anyone) a simpe little tv show like headbangers ball, than it would be more beneficial for you to do such a thing.

an example of this is enterprise. i am a really bir trek fan, but when i heard what the series was about, as well as seeing some of the episodes, i decided not to watch it. was there life after a new star trek series that has failed completely, oh hell yeah. b/c of this series being so horrible, i discovered new tv shows like nypd blue, fbi files, and forensic sceince the new detetcives. the point i am trying to make is fuck mtv and just ignore them.

 

[None_So_Vile]

we dont get any of these shows in the uk

 

[snow_like_ash]

Wait, they played Hate Eternal? Damn you comcast, you hath stolen my MTV2! I got it until a few months ago...

 

[LuminousAether]

What's the fucking deal? Everyone bitches and moans about a lack of metal on MTV. "Bring back Headbanger's Ball!" they said. It comes back, they bitch about it... even though it plays far more underground and lesser known bands than the original incarnation did. Fucking crybabies. You make me want to fucking puke.

Yeah, the played the video for Powers Tat Be. Awesome song, but, Man, what a shitty video. Even by underground standards.

Shut up dickhead. I never see you do anything other than bitch and moan about anything and everything too (or act like a pompous fag). So just shut the fuck up. Christ!

..I disagree, I have never seen a single decent video on Uranium... except for Motorhead,
BTW to that other guys post, Uranium is a crappy "metal" show on Muchmusic or fuse or whatever the fuck they want to call it... I believe is Canadian programming.
