    Yeah, I've spoken to Tommy in the Sound Cellar about this (he used to supply all the CDs for the show) and he was a bit pissed that it was taken off the air. That was the only decent thing on radio back in the day, and made my commuting to Carlow for College on a sunday evening a little bit easier.

    Bring it back, ya hoors

    It was a shame they took John Kenny's show of the air on 2fm. Today FM have a guy called 'dad rock' on a sunday between 9-11pm. Unfortunately its not as good. Bring back The Metal Show on 2fm

    Yeah... Ireland needs some variety on the national radio stations. It would save them from playing the same song 3 or 4 times a day.

    I remember it, shame its gone always a good mixture of metal on it, *sob* I especially remember the last show.

    its actually scarey how little metal is played on irish radio , sure how will people get to like it if they never hear it , we need a metal rock night on at least one of thr radio stations instead of a rendition of the same songs in a different order just about every night ,

    I use to think that the metal show was only good for the first hour and was ****e in the second hr when he done the chats. I also thought he was only pretending to like the stuff he played.

    Yeah I know, I'd say alot of the DJ's are like that. But when you think about it, there aren't many metalheads that would want to DJ on 2fm. I know I wouldn't.

    not to pi*s on every ones memory trip but does anyone remember that jk on the ladio(I sure it was ladio) metal show was only worth listening to for the second hour and he always cut tracks when the auld "language" got a bit colourful.i also have no doubt that there was some rte boss with a colt 45 to the side of his head when thie happened.i think we will get another metal show on the radio again;its just it will be like the last time,when the scene was just about to die.rte, always behind the times.
