VH1 Metal Evolution

[slapguitarer]

The Prog Metal episode should be really cool, assuming they actually interview some Prog Metal bands and not just bands like Rush, King Crimson, Yes, etc. Also, if the only modern-ish Prog Metal band they interview is Dream Theater, I will throw a brick at my TV.

In the preview I saw, Brann from Mastodon is one of the interviews.

So, anybody watch the prog episode yet? It's my favorite of them all.

I'm surprised that they actually went to the extent of interviewing Meshuggah and Dillinger, and actually played their music on VH1. That was pretty cool. Also, I'm glad they didn't suck DT's dick like I thought they might have. And giving Mastodon a good chunk of the spot light made it that much better!

I'm disappointed they didn't get to interivew anybody associated with Opeth and they best they could do with Tool was a producer, but it was still a really cool episode.

Yeah the Prog episode was pretty good. I just wished they included Opeth too. I mean they put in Dillinger Escape Plan? WTF.

I still don't agree when everyone says that those 2 albums are nu-metal. I mean i never heard any rapping, or turn tables, or whining about not being popular in high school in any of those songs... Yeah so what if they weren't going a million miles a hour. If anything I'd say they were experimenting more with groove metal... None of those songs sound remotely close to any Korn, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach shit.

Plenty of nu-metal doesn't have those elements. Not that I would call those albums nu-metal, more like... particularly lame groove metal.

They've started an indie go go thing to raise funds to make 1 final episode that will cover death metal, black metal, and grindcore. I don't think it absolutely has to be made and I don't plan on donating myself but it would be cool I guess.

Honestly, putting everything under one episode is a really terrible idea. They'll only be able to cover basic stuff that pretty much everyone knows at this point. I don't need to hear about the church burnings for the zillionth time. I need to hear how Fenriz came up with the Transilvanian Hunger riff!

The high prices and gifts are insane.

All in one episode? No! I want each to have its own. Especially Grind.
