VH1 is rolling out yet another new show to add to its brand new summer schedule. "That Metal Show is a 30-minute romp through the extra loud realm of high hair, spandex and parental warning stickers." They've got three experts as the hosts: Eddie Trunk, host of nationally syndicated radio show Eddie Trunk Rocks, Jim Florentine, best known for his character Special Ed on Crank Yankers, and Don Jamieson, Florentine's partner from Crank Yankers. The three will play loud music, debate the key moments of different metal songs, and play pranks on fellow metal heads. The show, to be aired on VH1 Classic, will begin taping in New York City on the afternoon of June 11th. And you can be a part of the audience. The tickets are free. All you have to do is email audiencecasting@vh1.com with your name, age, phone number, and a recent photo. Be sure to type "Metal" in the subject.

ummm, whoever is writing for this show obviously knows nothing about metal these days. I've been into metal pretty much all my life and I'm now 37. There is not one band I can name at this moment that still fits this description. Or did I miss something and this show is about 80's metal bands?

'Talking Metal' on Fuse is a decent show.

Yeah, sounds like a huge rip-off of Talking Metal. Is Talking Metal still making new episodes?
