Led Zep Girl Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I was just wondering if anybody watches That Metal Show. It mainly covers metal (which I don't really care for) & Hard Rock. But those guys bring up Led Zep quite a bit. Which is cool. Even the metal fans love Zep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the term "Heavy Metal" became commercially acceptable it pretty much meant "Led Zeppelin and lesser bands". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Girl Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Well they had a discussion about whether the 70's or the 80's had the best music. I think the 70's were amazing for hard rock. They said that themselves. I mean you had Zeppelin in the 70's as well as many other great rock groups. The 80's however are better known for the metal (in their opinion) I guess. I really don't care too much for the 80's at all. I prefer the early 60's through the late 70's. I mean the 80's didn't have Woodstock or Monterey Pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I watch it every week, even the repeats. I'm not a huge Metal fan of any era but the panel is well versed in all things Metal, they're passionate in their discussions, the audience is just as passionate, the guests are well picked (Dio & Geezer Butler were my favorite), & the panel promotes current Metal releases & re-releases that don't really have another outlet elsewhere on TV. It's a worthy show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Great show! Recent re-run discussion on Ozzy inspired me to pull out Blizzard Of Oz and Diary Of A Madman discs, which were my favorites when I was growing up. Good memories with those discs. Love when they go on location and interview or f*ck with different people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Watching That Metal Show tonight, new season debut. Dave Mustaine is the guest. Dave was asked "If you can collaborate with any musician, who would it be?" He answered "Jimmy Page"!!! He said that "What Jimmy did with the guitar was very stark, and if you listen to it stripped down, its not like these wussies that play today and they got 40 rhythm tracks because they can't play rhythm. If you listen to Jimmy Page, you know that he was getting it, he had back then 'enormal' (enormous?) balls, to make a guitar that weak sounding that big, that is an art form. Plus I mean, you know, he's Jimmy Page!" LOL, when he said enormal, he held his hands out, gestering a very large size! Edited to fix my spelling of enormous! My mind was elsewhere when I was typing that, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Edited to fix my spelling of enormous! My mind was elsewhere when I was typing that, LOL! Thinking about Jimmy will do that to ya! I've never seen the show, but it sounds cool! Thanks for posting about it! I'm not a huge metal fan, but a show with music lovers talking about any kind of music sounds good, not to mention novel for this day and age in television. I mean, it's been a joke for over a decade that MTV has nothing to do with music despite its name, and I was over it, but it really bummed me out when VH1 started phasing out all their music programming, especially considering the total crap that replaced it. But I digress...that's old news now. Anyway, I'll definitely have to watch it! (Edited because I spelled Jimmy wrong...that's just lame!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzzoso Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Whenever I am flicking through the channels and I see "That Metal Show" is on, I will watch it. I cannot say that I have seen every episode, however, I am sure I have seen alot of them. I was an teenager in the 1980's so I grew up on most of those metal bands. I consider (like alot of metal fans) Iron Maiden and Judas Priest to be the best of the bunch. Solo Ozzy is right up there. I know that Rush is not considered "Heavy Metal" but they were another great band I grew up with (actually my first concert in 1985 or 1986 - Grace Under Pressure). I know that I have seen at least two Led Zeppelin related "objects" in the background on the shelves behind them. One is a vinyl copy of Physical Graffiti and the other one I cannot remember at this moment. Anyway, Great Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I prefer the early 60's through the late 70's. I mean the 80's didn't have Woodstock or Monterey Pop. Perhaps but the 80s did have Live Aid, USA for Africa and Amnesty International's Conspiracy of Hope tour. Of course, the role model for most of those projects were the huge festivals of the 60s and 70s. Personally I don't rank one decade as being musically superior over the other, each has their own qualities good and bad, including the much revered 60s and 70s. As for That Metal Show, the spectrum of discussion is just wide enough to interest me. If it were the least bit narrow I probably wouldn't be a very avid viewer. As it stands, I try to catch the show whenever it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonzoLikeDrumer Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Are these guys metal? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W8jcDS2It0 Well, you can say that the hard rock bands from the 1970's like the Cheer, where for-runners of the early/mid 1980's Metal. They where more of a Hard Rock or, like Led Zeppelin, Heavy Blue's when you get right down to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also claimed to be the loudest band in the universe, and after seeing them at the Fillmore I'd say they were right.

I relate to him because my friends, always in a group, will always try to stump me on music trivia from any genre & they're so pleased with themselves when they do So, yes I like Stump The Trunk & I do like it when he fails. It's entertaining & interactive which always a great thing when a show caters to it's fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another show during their "Throwdown" segment they had a discussion on what was the better drum solo "Moby Dick" or "YYZ". It was put to a vote and "YYZ" won.

I forgot about it until I saw your post, so I just now googled it. Apparently, Keri Lee, Miss Box of Junk on That Metal Show, died on December 7 in NYC. That's why they have the new blonde.

Rock Historian Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I watch it every week, even the repeats. I'm not a huge Metal fan of any era but the panel is well versed in all things Metal, they're passionate in their discussions, the audience is just as passionate, the guests are well picked (Dio & Geezer Butler were my favorite), & the panel promotes current Metal releases & re-releases that don't really have another outlet elsewhere on TV. It's a worthy show. That's one of my favorite episodes too. That's the best show around for Metal and Rock music (for discussions) that I've run across since the Headbangers ball back in the late 80's and early 90's. I still have a bunch of videos from those days on VHS that I transfered to DVD. Anyway, speaking of the late great Dio, I've been looking around to find any write ups on his thoughts of Led Zeppelin or vice versa. I would like to know if Plant and Co. ever admired his work. ( I would guess not=speaking of Plant) since he usually didn't say too many good things about alot of Metal bands. I'd be curious to know either way.
