Do you think we're overdue for a TV channel that plays nothing but metal music? It would be like MTV and VH1, but just strictly metal stuff. Music videos would be played from bands of genres from heavy metal, to thrash metal, to death metal, to black metal, to doom metal, to power metal, to progressive metal, to gothic metal, to folk metal, to industrial metal, to avant garde metal, and everywhere in between, while stuff like alternative metal and metalcore would be kept at a very minimum.

Shows could include a reality show where metalheads live in a house together and do things like hang out at metal bars and go to metal concerts and festivals. Another show would be a talent show reminiscent of shows like American Idol and The Voice, where they find metal bands from countries like USA, UK, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Norway, etc to compete for getting a record deal from a major metal label (Metal Blade, Century Media, or Nuclear Blast). Bands of just about any metal genre would be accepted. Various documentaries revolving around metal would also be aired on there, like stuff from Sam Dunn.

Do you think it would be great if we had a channel like that?

If it were to be a channel specialized in metal, there can be plenty of non-metal bands that could be featured, like Rush, Alice in Chains, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Misfits, Hatebreed, Graveyard, and tons more.

I don't know, I don't feel like it would be viable, especially if it's a free channel. I seriously doubt the quality it would have
and then again the market for this kind of channels is not what it used to be, in Canada anyways, I can't talk for other countries.

I mean, with internet nowadays do we really need this ? That's just a thought.

We need a heavy metal reality show or docos featuring lives of metalheads.

It'd be interesting stuff with such amazing footage of metalheads lgetting out of bed at lunch time, smoking bongs and playing Playstation or watching DVDs until its time to crawl into bed, all in the squalor of their own homes! Feel the tension as stoned metalheads debate such important issues as at which point did Metallica sell out or is Darkthrone still kvlt? Feel their pain during such emotional trials as when they run out of weed and booze or their joy when they hear the latest Amon Amarth album, safe in the knowledge it's exactly the same as the other 8 studio albums. Understand such key metal philosophies as why if Opeth changes it's progressive but if it's Megadeth it's selling out. Or why it's ok for Amon Amarth to keep releasing the same fucking album every time but not for Cannibal Corpse (who have ironically displayed more evolution than Amon Amarth ever did). Understand that Black album is sold out mainstream drivel but Nightwish is a heartfelt emotional journey, even though it's essentially pop music and Black album still a metal album. Explore the history of metal and immerse yourself in the concept of the new stuff not being as good as the old stuff cause it's different or the same or changed or too heavy or too soft or lacking in aggression or just not old.

Sounds like a great show indeed.


HAHAHAHA, Deadone thanks, just thanks.
That was perfect... I laughed a tad too hard.

I really don't think so; like you said: in the Internet we can find almost everything we look for. Just stream your videos to your TV, ad a 5.1 channel stereo system and your done!

Anyone know how to setup a streaming service for videos like an online radio station?
