6/9: TMS RECAP, LIVE RADIO SHOW TOMORROW, MORE
Thanks all for the great response to the second episode of the new season of That Metal Show. Corey Taylor always brings it and was great to have him back, this time with Josh Ramd. So glad to see so many people discovering the amazing talents of Richie Kotzen here in the US. I’ve been talking about Richie and having him on the radio shows for the last 10 years or so and he is truly one of the most incredible all around talents and voices I know. Many more will discover that when Winery Dogs hits next month. Great to have him back on playing and hanging on the show too. As you can see we did have a Top 5 in this weeks show for Underrated guitarists. TONS of names could have been in this category! As usual, no right or wrong answers, just opinions and all good. Also great to have Dave Lombardo on. Clearly much has changed for Dave since we shot that segment 6 weeks or so ago. I wish him well with his bands outside of Slayer going forward. As you can see we had even more new segments and features in this weeks TMS. We have given the show a major makeover in many ways and as a result different features will come in and out to keep things fresh week to week. So Origins, Rant, TMS Book Club, Top 5, and many more all revolve in and out over the next 6 new shows still to come. Appreciate all the comments about the new set too. Many are positive, but the ones that aren’t are okay too. All opinions welcome. As I said, I don’t care if I do it on a cardboard box, AS LONG AS WE DO IT! This weeks episode repeats all week on VH1 Classic, just check your grids. You can see it starting tonight at Midnight online in the US by going to www.thatmetalshow.vh1.com
This Saturday another all new show which will be episode number 100. Rex Brown and Sebastian Bach are the guests, Vinnie Appice plays drums. Many more surprises as well.
Super busy Eddie Trunk Live tomorrow on Trunk Nation SiriusXM channel 39 6-10P ET LIVE! Steve Blaze of Lillian Axe, Zakk Wylde, and Louder Than Hell authors Kat & Jon all among the guests. Zakk kicks it off live in studio around 6:15 ET 3:15PM Pacific.
Loved that Corey is liking “Rival Sons”
That band needs to get mentioned on TMS a lot more!
I had them as my favorite new band on TMS 2 years ago…
It seems like they are thisclose to really busting out in the states. Not sure why they haven’t exploded here yet. Europe is all over them. I accidentally stumbled across them on one of Palladia’s festival concerts they often show and as soon as they cut into ‘Pressue and Time’ I was like “HOLT ****” then a few days later was listening to a Stern interview with Sammy and Sammy brought their name up.
The new set and format is taking TMS to a new level. Love it man.
Great show guys. I want to give kudos to Jim’s rant about “Rock of Ages”. That is without a doubt one of the worst films I had ever seen. I’m not a fan of 80s rock but this film was just insulting to anyone that likes rock music. With the exception of Tom Cruise, Paul Giamatti, and Cruise’s pet monkey. There was nothing about that film that was worth seeing or redeeming. I hated the singing from everyone except Cruise and Giamatti. I hated the acting from nearly everyone. It is truly an abomination and I’m glad you guys chose to piss on that awful film.
Rex Brown, Sebastian Bach, and Vinnie Appice…this should be a really good show. Looking forward to it. Bach is always a good interview.
Eddie, do you get “stumped” this week????
Last weeks stump the trunk question about the color of a logo or something on a Zep album was the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard. That said, I love the stump segment.
It was cool to see Corey Taylor mention Steel Panther as best concert. Steel Panther would be the ultimate guests for THAT METAL SHOW but VH1 would never approve.
