1/18: THAT METAL SHOW 2013 UPDATE
Great news today as VH1 Classic has officially ordered another season of That Metal Show! Many have asked about when new shows would be coming and to be honest we were wondering soon. As I have said many times, VH1 owns and controls the show and makes all decisions as to when, where and how we do it. Got the notice today and we will be doing all new episodes sometime in April that I imagine will start airing shortly after. Very early in the process and no details yet, but will keep you all posted as to where and when the shows tape, guests, and how to get tickets when I know. Appreciate all your support and good to know more TMS is on the way! More when I know and can share.

Awesome Eddie! Get Brian Johnson on and find out when AC/DC are going back out on tour…
You do know Brian was on the show already back in Season 9 right? There are no current tour plans for AC/DC and havent been for awhile.
Actually they just announced a 40th anniversary World Tour!!!
ALLRIGHT!!! I LOVE THE SHOW!! BY THE WAY, I HOPE EDDIE DECIDES TO WRITE A FOLLOW UP TO HIS FIRST BOOK AS WELL.
Coming in Sept, working on it now!
Get Phil Anselmo back on the show or members of GHOST
I appreciate all the requests for guests for TMS but as stated a MILLION times up to the artists and who the NETWORK wants! Can’t respond to every personal guest request because it just gets nuts after a while. But thanks for watching. EVERYONE wants a certain guest on. 2 simple questions; does the NETWORK want them on? Does the artist want to be on and available when we shoot??
Eddie, you have someone here who will defend you to the death about UFO. My first memories of metal were my cousin coming down during the summer in the early and mid 80’s when I was a kid and hearing him practicing nothing but UFO’s Obsession, the first Fastway album, and MSG’s Captain Nemo and Ready to Rock on his guitar. He was fanatical about Michael Schenker’s playing, talked about how every guitarist around suburban Detroit was into him, and he even had a homemade hand-embroidered Levi jeans jacket with the MSG logo with a Flying V entwined in it. I talk about them all the time to my friends and have won over a bunch of them. So many of them say …..Wow, how come these guys weren’t bigger than they were? Keep up the good fight!!!
But Eddie, From one DJ to another, wouldn’t the Network and You want Requests? And Want to know Who their “watching” , audience they are marketing to, wants to see? Is it not still all about ratings? You seem like a likable guy. Just back up just a bit, and remember how fun it is for your audience to make “requests”…..we love seeing the 80’s and the 90’s and even the 70’s artists!
Thanks for making this show possible…I Love it! You have an audience that wants to learn more. Enjoy the ride!
If you are in radio you MUST know what programmers think of requests and what they account for from the total audience.
Would be awesome to get evh on the show or maybe have steve luckather as a guest guitarist.
TELL EVH! All we can do is ask, which we do to NO response EVERY season!
I have been watching TMS religiously for like the past month and loving every minute of it. You seem like such a cool guy on the TV buy a lot of your responding comments on this site kind of make you seem like a jerk, but I guess it’s kind of understandable when getting request after request for artists that you already know and have asked numerous times to be on. One thing I wanted to say I seen the Top 5 list for opening tracks on albums and I couldn’t help but mentioning Enter Sandman, I actually just realized that yesterday lol! Oh yes, and thanks a million for turning me on to John 5, I can’t get enough of him now. Keep up the good work and no offense meant by the jerk statement lol.
It is incredibly time consuming to handle all social media, host and produce two radio shows and a TV show. I do my best. I actually do this stuff myself. Not asking for sympathy but if my answers are brief that is why. Only so many hours
I deeply appreciate that you answer these yourself! Others who have a staffer do it, to me, seem less credible. Your slamming of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is spot on ! Keep it up!
I do as many as I can when I have time. Thanks
Great News! Can’t wait to see who the guests are this season. Now let’s get the member section up on the site so I can sign up!
Excellent news! Every episode, whether I’m a huge fan of the featured guest or not, is awesome. You guys are really the only people on TV talking about the music I love and I have massive respect. I know you have no control as to who comes on the show but with new Voivod, Helloween, and Deep Purple (My favorite!)on the way, it sure would be nice if those guys booked a slot. To you, Jim, and Don: Keep it heavy guys!
Great to hear about TMS
