http://eddietrunk.com/119-an-important-message-to-the-fans-of-that-metal-show/

Praise Jeebus. The Pillsbury Metal Boy's reign of television terror is finally coming to an end.

 

We are sorry to report that VH1 Classic will not continue to make any new episodes of That Metal Show. It has been an incredible run of eight years, roughly 125 episodes and some really cool specials. The global response to TMS has been simply amazing, and we will be eternally grateful for the support from the rock and metal fans that have showed us so much love. We truly would have never made it as long as we did without you! A huge thanks also to the great crews we had over the years both in NYC and Los Angeles, to our producer Jeff Baumgardner, and to all the executives at VH1. And finally, thanks to the hundreds of artists that joined us on our set, had fun with us, shared their stories and many, many laughs. From the biggest names in rock history, to the up-and-comers: we thank you all for being a part of it.

Of course we very much want to keep That Metal Show alive, and with the blessing of VH1 Classic, we’ve got the keys to the show and are currently searching for a new home. We’re not sure where we’ll land, but we hope to be back in our studio and your living rooms as soon as possible.

 

 

I guess this means I can retire my signature pic. :rofl2:

^^ Yeah, that pretty much sums it up... :lol:

 

I tried giving the show a fair shake on more than one occasion, but it never was anything more than "mediocre."

 

Trunk's know-it-all vibe was irritating (who allowed this guy to become the official spokesperson for our music?), and his two nut-swinger sidekicks were useless.

 

By and large the show got the same has-been guests year after year after year (even tho they rarely had anything new to say), the "interviews" were full of softball questions with no real insight, and the "Top 5" and "Stump the Trunk" segments were just ... embarrassing.

 

So in the immortal words of Mr. Horse from "Ren & Stimpy," "no sir... I don't like it." Won't miss it either.

He has been "host" to m3..... he's such an annoying turd.

Yuuup! And on the MOR Cruise. Seeing him in person only confirmed what I thought of him.

 

It sucks for him to lose his show, and all his pole jockeys will be disappointed, but I'm not losing any sleep.

I have no idea what this show is or who this guy is, but I do know what this is and I therefore lol'd heartily.

A good mate of mine got me the complete Ren & Stimpy all-season box set for Christmas. I was happy. Yes sir, I do like it.

I was rather indifferent on the guy. At least he liked metal. That's gotta count for something.

 

Yeah, but I like Metal, and I'm an asshole. So your point is moot.

Yeah not a fan of Trunk or the show either. Boring, predictable and never really dug deep during interviews always stayed kind of superficial and therefore no big loss

VH1 Classic itself is no more, it's rebranded to MTV Classic now...I wonder if that had anything to do with cancellation?

VH1's Top 20 Countdown was also cancelled after 20 years.... now they have stupid reality shows, sad

Looks like the rebranding to MTV Classic has been an epic dumpster fire. (from Wikipedia)

 

Three days leading up to January 1, 2017, MTV Classic aired 24-hour block "Decade-a-thons" consisting of music videos from the 1980s leading up to the 2000s. Afterwards, MTV Classic unveiled a new automated all-video schedule, with all of the older MTV and VH1 Classic series content removed. As of the end of 2016, the channel was the least-watched English-language channel on all of American cable, averaging only 30–35,000 viewers on an average night in primetime (a decline of nearly a third from the already-low numbers VH1 Classic had netted in 2015), which was likely a factor in the network quickly abandoning their new format after five months. As of the end of May 2017, its numbers have slipped even further to an average of 14,000 viewers per night, only ahead of the moribund Esquire Network and beIN Sports, which at that time of the year is in its non-prime sports season. Even those low numbers were halved by the end of July 2017, as that month's ratings showed it averaging 7,000 viewers per night, ahead of only the beIN networks.

    • The latest version of "Don't Surrender" by my Funk/Metal "Band".     PHUNKADELIX - Don't Surrender : https://suno.com/s/osbdh4SnAaTOLvFj
    • Yup. Just access through your browser. Just got to Discord.com and it gives you the option to either download the app or open in browser    
    • Is there a web version? I didn't even know. I use the app on my PC, too. 
    • I rarely use the Discord app to be honest, I use it on my PC just in a normal browser window mostly. So anyone on a laptop or PC would be fine as all it is is essentially a new website bookmark.

    • Holy shit. End of a fucking era. I know I haven't been consistent in the last few years, but just the thought of this board no longer existing makes me sad.  I think the best alternative would be Discord. I'm sure many folks won't be happy about the idea of downloading a new app, and having to learn how it works, but it really isn't that difficult.  But you can create channels, and have threads within those channels. And pin messages, and there's even a search function. You can also customise the notifications to your liking. You can mute them for a few minutes, hours, or indefinitely. It's probably the easiest way forward. It's nothing like Facebook. No ads. No algorithm. And it's an extremely simple way to keep in touch. 
    • Not bad,his stuff has always been that way for me...apart from the excellent debut "Out In The Cold"
    • New song 'Take Control'. MAD HAVEN are a 3 piece original material rock band from North Wales.  The band's aim is to enable people from all walks of life to come together to leave reality and their daily struggles behind and let go while enjoying their music and the unmatched energy they bring.  Since forming back in 2011 as a young school band, they have worked hard to build a core fan base, spread across the UK, Europe and Australia as well as a great reputation within the music industry.  They played their last show in October 2023 before the band was put on hold while Tom & Alex headed out to Australia. In June 2025, MAD HAVEN was reborn.  The lineup, consisting of the same 3 members, Tom Rogowski, Alex Rogowski and Adam Haven went into the studio and began recording new music and filming a brand new music video for what is to be their first release in 2 years, TAKE CONTROL. The song has a very direct and powerful message.  The song starts with "this is your chance to follow the road, make no mistake, take action".  This impactful first line urges listeners to go for what they want to achieve in life NOW. The song talks of the struggles of daily life and that anyone dragging you down should not be in the forefront of your mind.  Instead, you should follow your heart, take stock and focus on the positives. "The illustrations inside a losers eyes.  They change and disappear all of the time" describes a very relatable issue where the people dragging you down will bend the truth to fit the narrative they have created.  This is no reflection on you.  Once you "take control of it" and remove these toxic people from your life, you'll start to feel like you are "livin' it up again". Are you ready to TAKE CONTROL with MAD HAVEN?    
    • From rockposer.com...   With fists raised and amps cranked, Meridian return in 2025 with their fifth studio album, a self-titled statement of intent and rebirth. ‘Meridian‘ is a no-frills celebration of classic heavy metal spirit, reconnecting with the raw energy, melodic power, and rebellious attitude of the genre’s golden era. From the first riff to the final scream, this is heavy metal the way it was meant to be: direct, honest, and electrifying. Formed in Denmark and active since 2013, Meridian have long stood at the crossroads of melodic metal, with flashes of AOR and progressive influences shaping their early records. But now, with a new frontman and a renewed sense of direction, the band strips everything back to essentials, delivering a hard-hitting, hook-filled album that proudly wears its ‘80s metal influences on its sleeve. The shift in sound comes from two key moments: a conscious decision to sharpen their sonic identity, and the arrival of Søren Adamsen (ex-Artillery) as lead vocalist. His commanding presence and raw vocal style bring a harder edge to the band, perfectly suited to the record’s return-to-roots approach. The result is a collection of tightly crafted songs with thunderous riffs, melodic choruses, and blazing guitar solos, echoing the best of classic Maiden, Dio, and Saxon. Produced, mixed and mastered by guitarist Marco Angioni (Tygers Of Pan Tang, Steel Inferno) at Angioni Studios, ‘Meridian‘ was recorded with a live-first mindset and a stripped-down production ethos. Minimal studio tricks. Maximum impact. The album captures the tight interplay and raw stage energy that have long defined the band’s live shows. This is not just another record – this is Meridian. A bold restart. A love letter to heavy metal. And a reminder that the old school still rules. ‘Meridian‘ will be released on LP (black vinyl, limited to 150 copies), CD and digital on September 19th, 2025, via From The Vaults.  Tracklist: 01.Uprising 02.When The World Finds Out 03.Crown The King Of Violence 04.Last Words Of A Dying Man 05.B.U.R.N. 06.Swinging The Chain 07.The Way Back 08.Taking Power 09.Mask Of Anger
