That Metal Show on VH1 Classic Thread

[DennyK]

Here's a list of artists off the top of my head that haven't been on yet (if somebody from my list has been on, I apologize):

Nikki Sixx
Jon Bon Jovi
Gene Simmons
Bruce Dickinson
Ozzy Osbourne
Dave Meniketti
Rik Emmett
Mathias Jabs

Would also love to see Ritchie Blackmore, but he's too damn busy with Bilbo at the moment.

[Ood Omega]

Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Ozzy are not likely to go on the show but I would like to see it happen. For some reason I thought Bruce Dickinson was on the show. If he hasn't been its a shame since Steve Harris and Adrian Smith each were guests of different episodes.

I haven't heard anything about a Season 12 yet. Usually they film in LA around April or at least they have in the past. Has anyone heard anything about them doing a 12th season?

[DennyK]

I haven't heard anything, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[Deathstroke]

I haven't heard anything but I have someone that I can ask who will be able to give me confirmable info.

Edit: The timeframe is not yet confirmed but new episodes are reportedly going to air sometime in April or May.

Meniketti's been on the show. Y&T is really underrated, IMO. It would be awesome to see Rik Emmett on. Gene Simmons will never do it, and frankly I don't care. We know too much about his life due to Family Jewels.

Btw, Candice Night is a helluva lot better-looking than Martin Freeman, so you can't fault R.B. for that. LOL

I couldn't agree more with you on Y&T being underrated; same for Triumph, they're so much more than just that "other" trio from Canada.

Rik Emmett is one of the best lead guitarist-lead vocalist double threats ever. Triumph was an arena-selling band from Allied Forces through A Sport Of Kings. "Allied Forces," "Never Surrender," "Lay It On The Line," and "Magic Power" continue to be FM staples. If Triumph hadn't broken up, they might be back en vogue nowadays with certain other 70s/80s rock acts (after all, Rush is a LOT more popular now than they were 20 years ago thanks to a reinvigorated fan base).

Saga, the third band in the Canadian rock triumvirate, has never been able to reclaim their early '80s chart success in the States. Canada, Puerto Rico and Germany (and other European stops) have been their bread and butter since 1987.

It would be nice if Gil & Mike remastered the Just A Game concert video.

One of the best shows I ever went to was Triumph, those guys were flat out road warriors.

I know Joey Kramer has been on the show but has Joe Perry? If not I hope he shows up at some point.

Jon Bon Jovi

TBH I'd rather see Richie Sambora come on the show than JBJ but I assume if one came the other would most likely follow.

Trunk Report: That Metal Show 2013 Update

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.

Hell Yeah! They booked some great guests for this season.

Jake E Lee / Rick Allen (Def Leppard)
Rex Brown (Pantera) / Sebastian Bach
Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy) & Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders) / Neil Fallon (Clutch)
Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (Blue Oyster Cult) / Steve Whiteman & Brian Forsythe (Kix)
Jason Newsted / Lemmy (Motorhead)
Scott Rockenfield & Todd LaTorre (Queensryche) / Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
Tom Keifer (Cinderella) / Rob Zombie & John 5
Joe Satriani / Corey Taylor & Jim Root ( Stone Sour / Slipknot)

That's awesome! I can't wait! Love this show!

[Deathstroke]

I posted the info on the new season in the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Update thread yesterday and have to say that I'm really looking forward to a bunch of the episodes.

[DennyK]

REALLY looking forward to the Jake E. Lee episode.

[aNamored]

Hope I catch the episode with Buck Dharma, I still enjoy Blue Oyster Cult. A lot of repeat interviewees this season. I hope they do something for Jeff Hanneman besides just mentioning his passing.

It would be nice to see 'Fast' Eddie Clark on board.
