So I just saw a kick ass commercial on VH1 with these hot devil babes holding BC Rich Warlocks and walking thru a town destroying it like Godzilla and stuff.

VH1 ANNOUNCE METAL MONTH FOR MAY 2006:
May is Metal Month on US cable TV network VH1. In line with that, here's what the station has planned:
40 Greatest Metal Songs premieres Monday-Thursday 5/1-5/4 at 11pm
"Whether epic, political, scary or downright silly, these hard driving tunes have one thing in common they'll rock your friggin socks off! This two-hour special will bring you 40 of the very best hotel trashing hard rock anthems. The panel of hard rock scholars who rate these tracks include metal all-stars Lars Ulrich, Scott Ian, Jerry Cantrell, Ronnie James Dio and more."
Behind The Music Ratt and Behind The Music Pantera premieres Thursday 5/11 (time TBA)
"Behind the Music explores the rise and fall of this chart-topping group who helped shape the sound of 80s metal. The one-hour episode uncovers the demons that tore the band apart and the tragic final days of guitarist Robin Crosby. Behind the Music Pantera uncovers the meteoric rise of this hard rocking band and the conflicts and extreme events that would eventually unravel them."
SuperGroup #101 series premiere is Thursday, 5/18 at 10pm
"VH1's SuperGroup Ted Nugent, Scott Ian, Sebastian Bach, Evan Seinfeld and Jason Bonham, are poised to re-conquer the rock world (and hopefully spread a little debauchery and black leather in the process) in the ultimate musical experiment. SuperGroup will bring together these five hard rocking icons and present them with the opportunity to create the heaviest SuperGroup. Ultimately viewers will see whether or not the band will come together as hard rock's saviors or simply implode."
Heavy - The Story of Metal, premieres Monday-Thursday 5/22-5/25 at 9pm
"What Ken Burns did for jazz, VH1 does for heavy metal only a lot louder. Heavy The Story of Metal, traces the evolution of heavy metal music and culture, from its dark, grim beginnings in Birmingham, England to the worldwide force that it remains to this day. In a series of four themed hours, Heavy, explores four decades of music, each hour examining this powerful and often misunderstood genre, from metal's pioneers to its love of glam and excess; from the fight for metal's rebellious soul to its storied flirtation with the devil."
Rock Honors premieres Wednesday, 5/31 from 9-11pm
"VH1 debuts its firsts ever show that pays homage to the legends that influenced the sound of Rock with the first annual VH1 Rock Honors. VH1 Rock Honors will be taped in Las Vegas on Thursday May 25th. The 20-hour tribute will salute the groundbreaking bands of rock, the once in a lifetime events and the influential people who made a lasting mark on the history of hard rock. The influence of the honorees will be felt through spoken tributes, filmed packages, and performances. The honored legends of rock will perform themselves as well as duet with current artists on whom they ve indelibly left their artistic imprint. Performers, presenters, and special guests will be announced as they are confirmed."

Doesn't he sit at home and listen to Boys 2 Girls and R Smelly and bitch about people ripping off his music on the internet?

[Digital Black]

After seeing "some kind of monster" I think Lars is the most normal out of the bunch-even if he is a dick.

What would we do without VH1? Metal videos would never be seen again..

Does VH1 play metal? I must have missed it between all their non music video programming. I stick with VH1 Classic's Metal Mania, anything else, not to name names (Headbanger's Ball) is bought off and rarely plays anything I can stand. They did however play Amon Amarth the other day that was about it.

VH1 considers Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Mandy Moore, etc... as metal. Their metal months, SUCK.

Shit....I'll check it out.

Yay, MORE KROKUS FOR EVERYONE!

Some of it's good, but most is pretty awful too. But hey, it's better than any other metal show out there.

Speaking of Headbangers Ball selling out. Last nights episode reminded me of what someone on this board (I dont remember who) said a while ago.

Post hardcore/emo/emocore/ whatever the hell you want to call it is the new "nu-metal"

I don't know man, Jerry and Scott seem like pretty normal cats compared to Lars.

To see Scott Ian, Nuge, Sebastian Bach, and Jason Bonham for a super group is going to be cool. I don't really think they'll implode, because all of them are too old to be still in the irresponsible drug crazy phase.
