Bring back real metal!

Written by Marty Dodge

What with Judas Priest and Anthrax reverting to their classic line-ups (who's next?) isn't about time Metalheads-hardrockers got their own MTV channel? Every other genre has gone one, why not us?

If you agree there is an online petition to encourage just that.

Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.

Most of what I listen to is heavy metal death metal black metal thrash....you get the idea! An all metal t.v. channel would keep me off the streets and outta trouble for when I'm not checking out live shows. YEAH!!!!!

no, they shouldn't have their own channel, and the only reason is that metal isn't palatable to regular people, and if it is, then it's the most dilluted weak as piss metal available, having said that, there are soft varieties of metal which incorporate many experimental styles in their overall sound, and is therefore, too thinky for regular people, if it's not, then it's the simplest retarded dual chord chug fest available, and that's why I don't think metal should have it's own channel, because they wouldn't be showing any of the good stuff.
