VH1 CLASSIC HAS DECIDED NOT TO PRODUCE ANY NEW EPISODES OF “THAT 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.”
Eddie – When one door closes, another opens. Programming and cable-tv in general are headed down the same path as newspapers and magazines. There are plenty of “non-traditional” ways for TMS to return to the people; any of the major streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc) would be fools to pass on a successful show with such a loyal following. If they wont open the door for TMS – KICK IT DOWN !!!
Keep us posted – the minute TMS comes back on-line we’ll all be there with you
