That Metal Show

[StL Dan]

One of the absolute coolest productions on television for the past 5 years or so.

Last night featured Megadeath lead singer Dave Mustaine and former Dio and Pantera members Vinny Appice and Rex Brown, respectively. Guest guitarist was Warren DeMartini of Ratt. Freaking awesome show!

Yep love the metal show. It's simple brilliance.

I enjoy it on the rare occasions I tune in. But I would posit that it might work better as a radio show. Those 3 panelists don't usually seem to care about their appearances. It's almost like they forgot they were filming a TV show.

That is part of it's brilliance. Wait, you posted in blue text. Were you being sarcastic, mate?

I think that's part of it's greatness. They are just three guys. Not made for TV douches.

No, that's my normal text color. How long have you been here?

I'm not saying Eddie and Friends should be transformed into Ryan Seacrest look-a-likes. I just find it conflicting that they dress like they dropped out of "Wayne's World", but have a full-fledged set.

Don't get me wrong; 1 show about metal is still waaaaaay better than 0 shows.

Not sure if your question was rhetorical or not.

By and large, blue font is used for sarcasm and/or tongue in cheek comments, based on my experience at stltoday.com and GRB.

And, you're right....Trunk and his crew do dress like high school slobs - which is really cool.

My regular use of the blue font predates the existence of GRB, so well over 7.5 years.

I was guessing you brought it from stltoday which pre-dates GRB. But, it was just a guess.

Either way, I'm cool with it. It just threw me for a moment.

No problem. I've never not used it. It's my way of easily finding my own posts when scrolling down the page.

I sometimes wonder if my usage predates the sarcasm usage. I kind of doubt it, but I think I started at CT back in 2000 or 2001, so maybe.

P.S. Sorry to derail the thread, fellow metalheads.
