1/19: AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO THE FANS 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.
Please tell me Amazon, Netflix or a webcast is in That Metal Show’s future.
Granted EVERYBODY has an opinion and the meaning of metal music has been diluted since Black Sabbath hit my turn table, regardless, being off of VH1 “Classic” leaves endless possibilities. Eddy if you have the keys … if you don’t want to maybe other people will want to drive…?
I’ll take any of them! They have to want the show and feel it’s worth the money to make them..
TMS has to be one of my favorite shows of all time. 125 amazing shows. I still watch the re-runs too. I find the Eddie Trunk podcast just as enjoyable so thank you Eddie for keeping the great rock and metal artists within our reach!
