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.

I was so bummed at the beginning of your message, but relieved at the end. The fact you have the rights to take it elsewhere (and presumably in HD, hahaha) is promising. VH1 simply never gave the show the exposure it deserved. Looking forward to whatever your new home is.
Hey Eddie,
Sorry to hear this news. Probably “business or financial ”
Reasons, but did vh1 give a reason for not renewing?
Good luck on future endeavors,
We still got your Sirius Xm show,
( I heard your hosting kiss/def leppard festival
Maybe p Stanley will agree to go on trunk nation! )
The Anthony Cumia network would be a great home!
Since you can’t do it on Vh1 Classic anymore, Palladia would be a great channel to do it on, since that channel is in HD. AXS TV would be great as well, but I don’t currently have that channel.
Palladia is VH1!
Is it? I never knew that! Oh well, there goes my suggestion!
axs-tv would be a great new home for the great Metal Show!
Tell them that! Thanks!!
axs-tv: they also make body spray
