Finally started watching this series, and it's a lot of fun. I don't care about hair metal, but they have a wide variety of guests every episode.

Not a fan of hair metal. Off with his head.

I never watch live TV anymore, but if you search for it on your DVR, they are running re-runs every day.

Hair metal's terrible. But the show does have it's fair share of hardcore guests. Dudes I've seen so far on the show

I also enjoy his rants about the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame - which is a total sham, nonsense organization.

It's ok.
I preferred the Sam Dunn stuff.
Metal a headbangers journey, metal evolution. Beyond the lighted stage and the lemmy special.
There is a mroe "retro hard rock" and glam/hair metal vibe to the show.

I agree with everything that you said, but I do like that there's a show devoted to metal. I'll gladly fast forward past Sebastian Bach to get to Scott Ian.

It's cool with me. I like the top 5 segment. But to me they blew it with the concept album top5, no mastodon? LOLWhen Metal evolution was going I'd try to have the kids in bed by 10 to watch that and that metal show b2b

I was sad to see it end. As for TMS, I used to make a point of catching every episode a season or two ago but it's almost like it has become a parody of itself. The chick in the leather, the guitar wankery from the weekly guest heading to commercial and the top 5 thing they do... it doesn't work for me. I haven't really watched it at all this season.

Yeah, the Mastodon exclusion doesn't surprise me. Eddie Trunk doesn't like hardcore or new metal, and VH1 Classic encourages the show to promote classic metal over new metal.

He could cover the really small non-mainstream metal parts of the tree, like death metal and stoner metal etc. but IMO there just isnt enuff there.So no season 2 of Metal Evolution?

Dvr the show. I really like it. Eddie has a lot of knowledge for all the sub genres of metal but the classic metal/hard rock is his wheelhouse. Eddie does most of the guest booking but it does have to fall into the confines of what vh1 classic wants. He gads also stated that for all the guests that haven't been on they have been asked but either cant fit the taping into their schedule or don't want to do it. New season starts, I think, the last Saturday of march.

Funny how it goes. I was (and still am) big into metal, but they occasionally mention bands I've never heard. Riot's one of the bands.

My wife's cousin was their drummer. He also played with Ace Frehley for a time.

Metal Evolution was a great series.
I DVR That Metal Show but usually fast-forward through much of it unless they have a guest I really want to hear from. My favorite part is the beginning when they just sit there and discuss recent happening in the music. Can't stand the guest guitar segment and the Top 5 game they play. I used to watch Stump the Trunk but now FF thru that too. It's a shame that VH1 restricts them to specific genres of metal and doesn't let them branch out but I'm not sure how much better the show would be anyway. They don't seem to be very creative.

I like Eddie - seems to be a genuinely nice guy, but lamely tries to be a badass sometimes. Still prefer him to Jamieson and Florentine, who are pretty much complete tools.
honky kong
Footballguy
I agree with this, especially since the two minutes I caught of this season involved their Top 5 new metal bands... Florentine had bands that are at least 10 years old and Jamieson listed his own band.

Footballguy
Are you a guitarist? That's one of my favorite parts
jdoggydogg
Footballguy
To me, my favorite bands are about the music. For example, when I saw Motley Crue live around 1984, they rocked my ### off. But once they started singing power ballads and looking like women, it was more about image. This is why I was never a Kiss fan. I understand Kiss' importance to the image of metal, but their music just isn't very good.

This show was never must-watch but it was fun for a while. I think it kinda sucks now. The guys aren't funny anymore so it's pretty much up to the guests to carry the show, and on a show that's built around celebrating wash-ups that's a pretty sketchy proposition. I'd be down with just having Scott Ian on every week. Lars sucked.
They've had some sad saps on through the years but Jack Russell takes the cake. If I was filling out a death pool right now I would throw him on the list for sure. And that shtick drummer with the punching bag was just silly.

yeah the show has run its course.
And IMO the next big 4 in thrash metal is:
1 - Testament
2 - Exodus
3 - Death Angel
4 - Forbidden
Overkill sucks

kinda showed how far out of touch with his genre Lars is. he had a hard time coming up with 4 thrash bands off the top of his head.

I wish Scott Ian would just take the place of Florentine or Jamieson entirely, and have another guy in the 3rd spot. Maybe Alice Cooper - could be a show about old-school and new-school metal.
