  • glad it finally went away

    in the late 80's this was a must see. then they started showing the same stuff that you could see all day and the show went to crap. but when rikki rachtman took over it really started to suck. and finally heavy metal went out of fashion and now the show has gone away. of course they no longer show videos on mtv anymore any way.

  • Ricki and Adam specifically noted, MTV Heavy Metal videos, guest appearances, interviews

    I watched this late night show instead of going to the bars. I was caught up on what was happening at the time here. Adam didn't appear to fit the theme even wearing the leather, but did fine presenting the information (The women may have loved him!). I thought Ricki would just fill in, but as we find out, the guy lasted some time and is living the lifestyle with responsibility. I say a good role model for the genre. When I look at clips from the show, I then feel like I didn't waste my time in front of the tube after all.moreless

  • host jamey jasta of the band hatebreed brings you some of the heaviest videos known to man. ranging from nu-metal to death metal, its packaged really nicely.

    ok...........i cant give this a ten simply because they play videos from the daily programming on this SPECIALTY show. that being said............i do love the show. most of my music needs are brought to me via jamey jasta of the brutally good band hatebreed. i was lucky enough to pretty much watch from the first year on, so ive been a fan since about 10 yrs old. recently, ive seen more death metal being represented on the show, which i personally love to see. my only beef with the show is the trash they throw in, most of which doesnt belong............which i understand, as they are trying to get the mainstream people interested. still, i dont see why its nessecery. it in a way hurts the integrity of the show almost. i personally tune in weekly to get my fix of death metal and black metal.
    , and you should too.............moreless

    This show might not look very original at all, but in fact i think it was the first TV show about nothing else than metal music. Every episode would present us with lots and lots of incredible videos, sometimes presented by a regular host or by a guest host like Ozzy Osbourne, for example. I don't think there is much to say, videos, videos and more videos filled with demonic and ritualistic propaganda were shown constantly. The interviews were not very good though. Definitely a show that started a trend and that should have lasted forever, since videos come ou everyday.moreless

  • Did they bring it back? about time MTV did something that didn't suck.

    I loved Headbangers ball, Rikki Rachtman was cool, and you always saw the new and best videos. I remember seeing the Sweating Bullets video on there, and I was like this kicks ass. They had bands come on and talk with Rikki, about upcoming tours and/or albums, they had different promotional stuff, it was just a cool show. It's just too bad ow all they have is shows and no videos, and then they made MTV2 which barely has videos. That show was back in the good ole days. Yo MTV Raps was Friday night, which I didn't watch, but was cool for rap fans, and then Headbanger's Ball was Saturday night.moreless
