VH1 Classic’s centerpiece in original programming That Metal Show returns for its 14th season this February. The acclaimed hard rock/heavy metal talk show, hosted by Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine, will kick-off the new season on Saturday, February 21st at a new broadcast time of 9:00PM ET/PT, repeating at 11:00PM ET/PT the same evening. The new season of “That Metal Show” will consist of 12 all-new episodes and will be shot at Metropolis Studios in New York City on Tuesday nights for broadcast that Saturday. Audience tickets for upcoming tapings are now available via Gotham Casting at gothamcasting.com/gothamrsvp/. Upcoming guests will be announced in the near future.
“It’s been a bit of a lay-off but I’m so thrilled to be coming back with season 14 of ‘That Metal Show’ on February 21st at our new time of 9PM ET!”, exclaims host Eddie Trunk. “We’re already lining up a great roster of new and returning guests from the world of rock and metal that I’m sure everyone will love. I want to thank all the TMS faithful for their support, it’s great to finally be back!”
If previous seasons are any indication, season 14 will be the biggest season of “That Metal Show” to date. Last season marked some monumental changes for the show as it returned to New York City. Previously the show was taped over several days in a course of a week, at Sony Studios in Los Angeles. But Season 13 was shot at Metropolis Studios on Tuesday nights, for broadcast the following Saturday, which will be the same for this new season. Fans can watch previous episodes and other exclusive bonus clips at ThatMetalShow.VH1.com and on the new VH1 app.
Last season brought some of the biggest names in hard rock and heavy metal including members of Kiss, Motley Crüe, Alter Bridge, Lamb of God, Living Colour, The Winery Dogs, Sevendust, Anthrax, and Megadeth. Season 13 also featured icons Ted Nugent and Dee Snider, and some of the best musical performances in the show’s history, featuring Lita Ford, and guitar virtuosos Yngwie Malmsteen, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Joel Hoekstra, as well as drummers Charlie Benante and Richard Christie.
That Metal Show first premiered on VH1 Classic in November 2008 and since has become the only place for all things hard rock and heavy metal on cable television. The show has been visited by some of the biggest names in the genres including members of Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Metallica, Aerosmith, Pantera, Kiss, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Pearl Jam, Guns ‘n Roses, Queensrÿche, Heart, and many more.
That Metal Show is a production of VH1 Classic. Lee Rolontz, Jeff Baumgardner, and Keshia Williams serve as executive producers for VH1.
VH1 Classic brings you the best metal, rock, soul and pop from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. The channel features the gods of rock – from Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Iron Maiden to Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, and Dire Straits – in marquee concerts and music specials, and of course, tons of classic music videos. Recent big events include “National Metal Day” (11.11) and “Metal Evolution”, an 11-part documentary series on the history of metal. When it comes down to it – all music should go to 11.

Ronnie Van Zant would have been 67 years old today.
“You got that right”, Harry. When it comes to southern rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd leads the flock.
I can still remember when I was a kid and my dad being EXTREMELY upset when the news came out about the plane crash and that Ronnie was killed. My dad was devastated.
R.I.P Ronnie. Fly high Freebird.
Only 37 more days to go! I predict the biggest season ever for TMS! 🙂
It’s gonna be great to have you all back. Really hope Don has a question from your wife during Stump the Trunk.
First guest, Edward Van Halen with Joe Satriani on guest guitar!! That would be the shit!!
Nikki Sixx better be a guest on the show this season!
My prediction is when Eddie, Don and Jim walk out for the first episode, the show will get a late start due to the audience going nuts with applause and cheers.
