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.

Eddie: I Love Warbringer. Have you ever heard of them?
Yes
Hey Can’t wait for new season hope you guys get newer bands and expose them to metal community
We do have newer bands, but we are also on a channel called VH1 CLASSIC, which is all about CLASSIC artists
Classic artists like foo fighters….haha. TMS is ALL things hard rock and heavy metal, right? So push some newer bands and by newer I mean bands that have been around for 10 years or so and would actually benefit from your show. Everyone knows about acdc, sabbath etc. yer show is an hour long, so you can spend 45 mins sucking up to the “pioneers” of the genre and letting them plug their latest pile of crap solo album. But let’s show some love for the “newer” bands that actually keep the scene alive. Also, your show is very fan driven, how about involving them in the top 5 list. I know I get pissed off every time that list gets finalized. Again it seems like “newer” artists/bands get snubbed on that segment too. Try having a show where acdc, kiss and priest doesn’t get mentioned. Don’t get me wrong I love me some priest but I think we can all go on living if the usual bands don’t make it onto the list or doesn’t even get mentioned on one of the shows.
Perhaps we should just rewrite history and pretend MAJOR bands don’t play a role in almost every band that does come on? Wow, amazing. When you have a TV show and WORK FOR A NETWORK, then have whoever you want on. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice the network the show is on is called VH1 CLASSIC. Get it, CLASSIC? Do you go to ESPN Classic to see new games? Always amazes me how people think they have it all figured out when they have NO CLUE how it really works. We’ve been on 5 years and 100 episodes, someone likes it I’d say. Sorry it doesn’t fit your perfect mold. And we promote plenty of new bands when and how we can! In case you haven’t noticed classic bands also have nowhere to go on TV either.
I get the whole classic thing Eddie. But it’s irrelevant. TMS is a new show, it exists right now. Unlike the games on espn classic or whatever you’re comparing your show to. And if VH1classic is purely classic why am I watching a commercial for their roc doc weekend that features the foo fighters, didn’t know they were classic rock already. So you’re saying if TMS was on VH1 or some other non “classic” channel then you wouldnt mention the older bands as much? Listen I’m not trying to turn this into some lame war of words on your website, I actually appreciate you reading and responding to my post. I’ll have my tix for the new season, maybe we can continue this in person or at the rainbow. Take care, KISS sucks!!!!
So glad to see that the show will be back for at least one more season. I sure hope that you can get someone from the Slayer camp back on the show…getting worried about what their future is in light of Jeff’s ongoing health issues and the recent issues involving Dave Lombardo and the business side of things.
While we wait for new shows 2013 April + ,,,,,,,,,, arrghhhh ,,,,,,,, taking forever !!! Why can’t they (VH1) air shows prior to 2010 ????? I’ve seen ’11-’12 three hundred million times each ,,,,,,,,, arrrghhhhhh 🙂
you need to get eddie and alex van halen on the show
Okay, perhaps you can book them for us? All we do is ask every season. Bands have to WANT to do the show.
