A public service announcement

That Metal Show sucks.

I guess this is VH1's attempt to attract metalheads. Well, if I can be called up to speak for all the metalheads out there, I think they'd agree with me in that they're not attracted, not in the slightest. The obvious target audience is old farts- I mean, the host and two comedians (?) only talk about 80's hard rock and metal. Nothing later. Yes, it's true that the 80's are the Golden Age of Metal, but seriously, they need to get with the times. Modern metalheads like modern heavy metal in addition to 80's. If they don't cover modern stuff, then we will not come.

The jokes they make aren't funny. The "throwdowns" are non-legit. Old Metallica vs. New Metallica? You kidding me? How can that be debated? Did I hear correctly when one of the guys said Death Magnetic is the greatest Metallica release?

Okay, I rest my case. I recommend you watch an episode immediately so you don't have to ponder about the subject any more than you have to, and when someone goes up to you the next day and goes, "Hey, is That Metal Show any good?" you can fire back at 'em and retort, "It's shit!"

Have a good day.
