VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show 5th Season

Heavy Metal and Hard Rock enthusiasts, prepare for battle, VH1 has announced the premiere of the 5th season of the distinguished That Metal Show, the one and ONLY place on television to celebrate all things Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.

Thanks to That Metal Show host’s Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine coming out to Los Angeles to be apart of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards at the Nokia Theater and bringing That Metal Show with them, I was able to attend the taping of the Zakk Wylde and Steven Adler / Chip Z’Nuff episodes and had a blast.

I got to hang out with other fans of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, see the new set (which is a big improvement over the old one) ask Eddie a question for the ‘Stump the Trunk‘ segment (I hope it makes the cut) and hang out and meet Eddie, Don and Jim (they autographed the KEEL CD I won) after the tapings and walked out with a cool That Metal Show t-shirt, very COOL!

Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine are back and ready to rock on VH1 Classic’s hit original series, That Metal Show, beginning Saturday, May 8 at 11 p.m. Rolling Stone magazine recognized the show in their “50 Reasons to Watch TV Right Now” and with upcoming guests like Slayer, Rob Halford and Lemmy Kilmister, it’s no wonder. That Metal Show is a 30-minute round-table talk show where rock legends hang out and discuss their past and current projects, while interacting with metal fans that make up the studio audience.

Making the fifth season even bigger and badder than ever before, interviews will be double the length from previous seasons allowing Eddie, Don and Jim to go more in-depth with each artist. That Metal Show has also added exciting new segments, “The Video Vault” and “Word Of The Metal God” and are proudly bringing back viewer favorites, “Stump The Trunk”, “Whatever Happened To” and the heated weekly debate, “The Throw Down”. Tune in to VH1 Classic on May 8 at 11 p.m. to join the debate on That Metal Show’s most rocking season yet.

Guests appearing on the fifth season of That Metal Show include:

* May 8 – Lemmy Kilmister
* May 15 – Zakk Wylde
* May 22 – Rob Halford
* June 5 – Steven Adler, Chip Z’Nuff
* June 12 – Alice Cooper
* June 19 – Rob Zombie
* June 26 – Don Dokken, George Lynch
* July 10 – SLAYER (Kerry King, Dave Lombardo)
* July 17 – SCRAP METAL

   Hey Tequila,

   Thanks for the comment. I coundn’t agree more, the Rock and Roll Hall of Lame is a total joke. I love That Metal Show also. I believe Slash will be on an episode for season five.

   Im a huge fan of That Metal Show, its intense and funny. I oppose alot of who is the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame so I get a kick out of Eddie putting those f*$#@!s in their place. But I was just wondering why Slash hasn’t been on That Metal Show, now that’s just rediculous.
