    VH1 Classic Cancels "That Metal Show"

    http://eddietrunk.com/119-an-importa...at-metal-show/

    A message to the loyal fans of That Metal Show from Eddie, Jim & Don:

    We are sorry to report that VH1 Classic will not continue to make any new episodes of That Metal Show. It has been an incredible run of eight years, roughly 125 episodes and some really cool specials. The global response to TMS has been simply amazing, and we will be eternally grateful for the support from the rock and metal fans that have showed us so much love. We truly would have never made it as long as we did without you! A huge thanks also to the great crews we had over the years both in NYC and Los Angeles, to our producer Jeff Baumgardner, and to all the executives at VH1. And finally, thanks to the hundreds of artists that joined us on our set, had fun with us, shared their stories and many, many laughs. From the biggest names in rock history, to the up-and-comers: we thank you all for being a part of it.

    Of course we very much want to keep That Metal Show alive, and with the blessing of VH1 Classic, we’ve got the keys to the show and are currently searching for a new home. We’re not sure where we’ll land, but we hope to be back in our studio and your living rooms as soon as possible. In the meantime, keep an eye out for us on the road and come say, “Hello.”

    Thank you for watching all these years, and we’ll keep you posted as soon as we have news to share.

    Maybe Eddie Chump will follow the lead of his idol Bon Jovi, turn country and move his show to CMT.

    Change the title to "That Redneck Show" or something like that.

    Meh.

    That show to me was always a case of blown opportunities, anyway, in terms of the guests that were on and the brief softball interview segments. Like, Jake E. Lee vanishes for over a decade, goes on the show, gets 5 minutes of actual interview time where Trunk doesn't ask him anything meaningful and then it's on to 'Stump The Trunk' or the two 'comedian' co-hosts making unfunny quips. Plus, how many times does someone really want to hear Eddie expound on why UFO was the greatest band ever?

    Not a shock it got cancelled, as I imagine VH1 producers figured it'd be most cost-effective to just run another screening of the movie Sixteen Candles or something.

    Although he and I have had some fairly heated Twitter discussions on Van Hagar, I don't despise Trunk as much as our Scottish friend....

    That said, I echo much of what Terry says (as usual, right Terry?).....

    I think in the last few years, the repetition of the guests started boiling down to "his buddies", like Bette, Portnoy, Jericho, etc.

    Not only that, his guests really started getting obscure lately.....

    I think the show will bounce back somewhere, like AXS-TV (Mark Cuban's channel, lots of concerts, etc.), but I would bet any deal would include getting rid of those two knuckleheads....

    I don't think I've ever heard one UFO song. I'm like the Rip Von Winkel of music. Ah, it probably sucks anyways.

    I was thinking Too Hot would be something a lot of people had heard and not known who it was.

    Or since Donnie loves the ballads, this one might seem familiar...

    Nope. The only thing that reminds me of is the Alan Parsons Project Eye In The Sky.

    This UFO song sucks. The singer sucks too.

    Well, in fairness, that show was after Michael Schenker left the band and (temporarily) went back to the Scorpions. So it sounded better on the album.

    Well, Trunk doesn't really need those two guys. They always ate up far greater amounts of airtime with their useless bits and plugging their comedy cds than they ever did actually contributing anything worthwhile.

    Part of the problem is that most rock musicians don't have much worthwhile to say in interviews to begin with, which is to be expected. The other part of the problem is that you're not likely to get much worthwhile out of a short interview anyway. Plus, Trunk has to kiss their asses so they will return to the show. Juxtapose that with Howard Stern who WILL ask non-softball questions because a) he doesn't give a fuck and b) Stern wants to and knows how to ask such questions and get these chuckleheads to open up and say things besides the usual promotional tour blather.

    I confess I'm not an expert on the show I only saw a few but I think the reason it lasted so long is that people want a rock show not that it was a good version of it.

    America is the home of standup comedy and there are dozens of guys that must have been better than those or at least rotate it and find out. Guys in heavy rock can take a joke especially a this point if it gets them on TV. Metal Sludge gets all the same people why be reverential when you are giving them a TV slot?

    As for Trunk? I don't know where to start.

    You think you have to kiss Taime Down's ass to get him to come back on TV?

    A lot of these people are playing half empty clubs at this point. Anyway you can be fun and interesting without kissing ass unless you are shit at being a TV presenter.
