That Metal Show

I gotta say I enjoyed the premier of this show on VH1 Classic. Their segment at the Van Halen show at Madison Square Garden armed with earpieces and microphones was solid. They interviewed concertgoers outside telling them VH (not true obviously) were on the earpieces and relayed questions/comments to them. Classic stuff.

These metalheads were wigging out that their comments offended DLR, Eddie, Alex or Wolfy. Hilarious segment. People are so gullible. They had one rocker convinced that the band had walked out of the arena due to his 'offending' comments. Stick a camera and mic in front of someone and they will believe anything...lol

I'm a huge VH fan and have seen both incarnations but I am partial to Van Hagar (hey, what can I say, I really got in to music when Van Hagar was taking the country by storm though the first album I ever listened to from them was the classic 1984. 5150 is my fav Van Hagar album though I enjoy pretty all of the albums Sammy was a part of)

I gotta say Lita Ford has some tread left. She was special guest on the premiere and apparently is making a comeback after 15 years away(thats all? Seems like alot longer than that!). She has a few more packs of cigarettes/wrinkles and tats but pretty much looks the same as she did back in the day. Welcome back Lita....

Btw, I really like Eddie Trunk. This guy has one of the best jobs out there in. He gets to talk with every rock/metal musician you can think of, has mulitiple radio shows and gets to just hang out in the middle of the hard rock/metal scene. I'm not sure there is a much better gig than this (other than being in a band like GNR or the Crue back in their prime..those tours were complete debauchery and must have been unbelieveable to be a part of)
