Empty-v, er MTV2 has brough back Headbangers Ball! Anyone catch the show on Friday? Was wondering how good it really is. The replay is at like 230am tomorrow, but the next episode is at 10pm on Friday.

Nah I totaly frigin' missed it too..I really wanted to see if it wasany good or anything like it used to be when it was originaly on..Oh well I'll catch it next week

I saw it. Not bad but MuchMusic (Fuse) has a better show with Urainum and Rockzilla.
Metallica hosted it. They were pretty boring.

That show kicks ass, and I dig that Goth chick who hosts it.

Goth chick?? Where??

According to my brother, it was a lot like the old one: 60% crap and 40% OK to good stuff. That sucks because it's just good enough to keep you watching in case you miss something good, and not bad enough to skip it entirely. Apparently they played some Shadow's Fall and the new Phil Anselmo band project thing.

I just listen to online radio or my own collection for good metal.

/m\

Which new Phil Anselmo band project thing? Is this "Eibon" -- his collaboration with Fenriz of Darkthrone and one of the guys from Satyricon?

Info on that, and a sample, can be found at the Moonfog Website.

Or are you talking about Down? Viking Crown? Necrophagia? Phil has about a hundred "project bands"...yet Eibon is the one I am most excited about. Darkthrone ("The Most Hated Band in the World") is a legendary metal band - combine their sound with Phil's aggression and Satyricon's sense of melody and songwriting, and you've definitely touched on something volatile.

As for "Headbanger's Ball" - it never was any good. I recall, as a kid, having to sit through scores of sound-alike c*ck-rock glam bands just to see a Death Angel or a Sepultura video. I also recall that they played the King Diamond "Sleepless Nights" video once and never played it again, to my knowledge. Yet "Trixter" got constant rotation. It just wasn't worth it to me. I am sure now the glam that once polluted the program has been replaced by the cookie-cutter sounds of nu-metal posers, so why bother?

Now Headbanger's Ball in Europe, that was a different story.

Anselmo's best side project band to me is Superjoint Ritual..That band just kick some ass...

But dude the Juliya chick on MMUSA is smoking hot. I would have to give her a "I'd Hit it"

I went to get the oil changed in the wife's Jetta a few months ago and Riki Rachman was there selling cars. Yup , Riki Rachman is selling Volkswagens. Damn, how his once shining star has fallen.

Wow, when I lived In LA he had a show called Rikki Rackman Radio on in the afternoons I think after The Working Guy. If I remember right he got into a physical fight with the station manager and get fired. Then I guess he went to selling cars.

Who is Rikii Rachman? Rikkie Rackman? Ricccy Rakkkkkkkman?

And can you guys get together on a concensus for how his name is spelled?

I know of a Bigdumb Rackman.

That's just about where I'd expect him to be....really.
