Maybe there is too much time spent on these bozos (right) and they should
split it off into two groups. Oh, not on MTV. Forget videos. Go buy the
albums and crank those speakers. I got these great albums from ManOWar that
kick all of those glam guys butts, and they have not have ANY videos.
Same goes for Candlemass, or King Diamond (only three VERY AWESOME videos).
As for all the Seattle s***, flush 'em down the toilet. The ONLY Seattle
band in my books is Queensryche, and the only stuff from these so-called
metal/alternative/punk wannabees (a la Pearl Jam or Nirvana) that I remotely
like is Alice in Chains. As ManOWar says, death to false metal. ("Blow
your speakers").

Say, if any of you guys have satellite, check out Canada's MuchMusic. Yeah,
it mostly sucks, but they have live DJ's for 8 hours every day and their
real metal is shown 2 hours a week. It's called the Pepsi Power 30 and
is played from 5 PM to 5:30 PM Monday to Friday. They take request and
sometimes treat their viewers like human beings. Unlike the fags at MTV,
they had the BALLS to show the REAL version of Symphony of Destruction
(destroy corporate rock!). And every couple of months they actually play
King Diamond (please, play Sleepless Nights). At only half an hour, you
can tape it and fast forward the s*** and be done in 10 to 15 minutes.
ALL the bands that play Toronto actually guest-host the show. Lotsa bands,
like Dream Theater last Wednesday (LaBrie hails from Toronto), Slaughter 
(EVERY time they visit TO), Kiss, Testament, Megadeth (many times), Metallica 
and coming next year (I pray) Mercyful Fate. BTW Slaughter sucks.

Say, I don't get MTV. I saw it on vacation in Florida last year, and boy
was I dissappointed. And I thought Much Music sucked. These guys are bad
(OK, they have Liquid TV (RIP)).
