bummer nobody from current DP! It what have been good with the release of what sounds to be a very good new album.
On tour, as is the case for MANY bands when we shoot!
hey Eddie, what are the chances of more tickets being released in the upcoming days? or if it’s possible to arrive at the location on the day of the show to get in?
you see, my buddy and I have lived the past 5 years without a tv set in the house. so when we finally moved into our new apartment last month, we were a bit skeptical once we realized that a tv set had been left behind by the previous resident.
curios to find out what the common folk watched these days, we plugged the old boobtube in to see what was on. almost in an instant, the whole room became penetrated by an extraordinary beam of light. every dark corner of our studio apartment suddenly became illuminated.. our eyes were squinting at first, but eventually, we were able to make out the giant caption plastered on the screen… ‘THAT METAL SHOW’.
ever since that amazing day, we’ve been constantly cracking inside jokes about the show and referencing the various hosts.
when met with a troubling dilemma we ask ourselves, ‘what would jim do?’.. when asked a serious question, we remember how effortlessly you always composed yourself during the ‘stump the trunk’ section of the show.. and when we see sideburns on strangers, we immediately think of good old don.
all jokes put aside, i really want to surprise my buddy with tickets for the show. i’ve already tried sending an e-mail to gothamcasting but have not received a response. is there anything that you would suggest for us to do? we would really love to be on the show!
in any case, thanks for the spectacular show and best wishes for the new season. – ulu
Honestly have no control on tickets, wish I could help more
Hmm…we have Clutch and Stone Sour represented. Clearly not bands from the “classic” era of metal VH1 represents. Maybe the network is giving some leeway with more current and diverse artists? Im under no illusions that youll have Papa from Ghost, or Fenriz from Darkthrone on anytime soon ( dammit! ), but still a good sign.
Thanks for my favorite show, Eddie. I never miss it!
Great job on somehow getting Jake E Lee ! He was definitely #1 on my list of guests for the show,you da man Eddie !
Can’t wait to see Jake E.Lee on TV, We cannot see this show from Japan, so pleeease someone upload it on youtube later, thank you so much!
Wish we were on in Japan, great to be re introducing Jake!
