    Christmas Hits.

    Is ‘Sonne’ by Rammstein a Christmas Hit? :(

    I gave up on Scuzz when I first saw Hollywood Undead featured.

    Awww, now what I'll stick on when down at the folks. Found some bands I liked through it...and apparently I'm on of the few here who was fine with having some Paramore or Fall Out Boy on :D

    It introduced me to Rock/Metal when we got Sky in 2005, that was before Youtube got big so it was the only way of seeing music videos (as far as I knew anyway). I remember it was always heavier than Kerrang back then, it introduced me to bands like Trivium, Slipknot and Evanescence. I noticed it changed since then and was full of pop punk music.

    There were no glory days of nu-metal.

    A nu-metal band is headlining Download next year, when people think of Nu-Metal they think of Limp Bizkit but it goes a lot deeper than that.

    Crap bands headline crap festivals all the time. It's nothing new.

    Nu-metal was indeed very popular for a period. But with the exception of Deftones, and perhaps the first two SOAD albums, it was anything but glorious.

    "nu metal" had its glory days but they predate Scuzz by a good 5-7 years.

    Whether "nu metal" is a subset of metal / hard rock that stands the test of time or was much use to begin with is a different conversation altogether.

    I watched Scuzz for the first two years and gave up after that. Kerrang and MTV2 also went downhill fast around the same time. Not long after MTV2 was no more and Kerrang was removed from Irish Sky customers.

    The only metal on TV which really meant something for me was MTV Europe's Headbangers Ball back in the early to mid 1990s with Vanessa Warwick. The Friday Rock Show on VH1 was the next and last metal show on TV that was really good.

    Headbanger's Ball evolved into the far inferior SuperRock and that didn't last long, then MTV just stopped playing music in general.

    Scuzz of course arrived during the digital TV era, well after Headbangers Ball, SuperRock and the Friday Rock Show were finished. What I didn't like about all these 'dedicated' rock and metal channels was they just consisted on an average selection of a playlist and there was never any surprises, you always knew what video came next and it was the same list of videos often for weeks on end.

    ITV used to have a good rock show on very late Friday night/early a Saturday morning around then too. Hosted by a guy called Krusher I think.

    Noisy Mothers? It may have replaced Raw Power, or vice versa

    EDIT: Raw Power came first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_Power_(TV_series) with Krusher's Kouch and then Krusker's Kosmos

    That Metal Show on VH1 was great for about 2 seasons until it became plainly obvious the guys had a very refined taste when it came to rock music.

    Noisy mothers, used to set the vhs for that one. As said discovered great music on that show.

    I just about remember that show, I was still going to school at the time and I used to record it, this was before we got satellite and MTV. I remembered they introduced for the first time ever and premiered a relatively unknown brazillian band 'Sepultura' with 'Inner self'. I watched it the next mornng in disbelief and played the song over and over till the tape wore out.
