THAT METAL SHOW…If You Haven't Seen It, You're Doing Something Wrong!

      That Metal Show is the "Voice" of Metal and Hard Rock talk show programs.  It aires on VH1 Classic and certainly attracts the eyes and ears of any music fan, especially those of metal heads and rockers.  Radio personality, Eddie Trunk, hosts That Metal Show along with his associates (comedians) Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson.  Eddie is a more serious character; whereas, Jim and Don are everything you want in music fans…YES, opinionated with humorous mindsets…
       Every since I began watching the show (the premier of its pilot- November 15, 2008), I was hooked and wanted to start my own show in which I get the opportunity to talk about my one true love: MUSIC!  One of my favorite segments of the series is the TMS Top 5; this is where Eddie, Don, and Jim debate on different categories within the Metal/Hard Rock world.  Whether the topic of discussion is favorite albums of all time, best Iron Maiden song, or best album cover, it appears to be that Don and Jim always are in some agreement in which they disagree with Eddie!  As Eddie attempts to explain his reasoning for his preferences, Don and Jim tell raunchy jokes (some about Eddie's physique, others are plain mainly humor) and make the audience cry from laughter.
        Numerous talented musicians have appeared on the show and have been interviewed about their past, future, and present.  Some of the guests include: Vince Neil (Motley Crue), Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Slash (Guns n' Roses/Slash), etc.  It's wonderful to see what your favorite artists are currently doing with their lives and their plans for progressing their careers.  In addition to musical interviewees, there are also musicians who perform throughout the episode before/after commercials.  These musicians have ranged from: Billy Sheehan (bassist), Mike Portnoy (drummer), and Yngwie Malmsteen (guitarist).
         Another magnificent section of the show is entitled "Stump the Trunk."  This enables audience members to ask any question about music/musicians to Eddie; if he answers incorrectly (gets "stumped"), the person is rewarded a prize out of the "Box of Junk" distributed by the beautiful Jennifer Leah Gottlieb (Miss Box of Junk).  However, Eddie usually answers questions correctly with little hesitation due to his incredibly vast knowledge; in this case, the audience member does not achieve a prize.
           But wait there's more!…That Metal Show is scheduled to return to television on February 21st, 2015.  Respectfully, this will be the 14th season, and I could not be more thrilled.  It will be great to witness what new segments the show has to offer and what surprise guests will make appearances!
