Earlier this year, VH1 Classic's THAT METAL SHOW celebrated its 11th season on the air. By now you all know that the show hosted by Eddie Trunk, Don
Jamieson and Jim Florentine, is the ultimate television show when it comes to all things Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.
Tonight, at 8 PM (Eastern Time), VH1 Classic presents "That Metal Special" in celebration of National Metal Day and the 11 seasons of THAT METAL SHOW. Tune in, watch it, and keep supporting the boys so they can keep bringing us many more TMS episodes.
In case you've been living under a rock, "Metal Evolution" is an 11-episode docu-series produced by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films and is based on the groundbreaking "Heavy Metal Family Tree." The "Heavy Metal Family Tree" is a 26 sub-genre genealogical chart which reveals the vast complex progeny of Heavy Metal – from Early Metal and Shock Rock to Thrash, from Progressive Metal to Grunge and Nu Metal. Using the chart as his road map, host/producer and Metalhead turned anthropologist Dunn, crisscrosses the globe exploring the vast history of Heavy Metal across its 40+ year history and beyond. Watch "Metal Evolution" right now!
Today is 11-11-11, a day that has been dubbed as "National Metal Day" by VH1 Classic. In order to celebrate OUR holiday, VH1 classic is featuring a slew of exclusive Metal programming, including three major Metal premieres: "Behind The Music Remastered" at 9PM ET/PT, the exclusive debut of Banger Films groundbreaking documentary series, "Metal Evolution" at 10PM ET/PT and the ninth season premiere of a VH1 Classic original "That Metal Show" at 11PM ET/PT.
"Behind The Music Remastered: Megadeth" premieres Friday, November 11 at 9PM ET/PT.
They've been the champions of Thrash Metal for nearly thirty years, despite discord, addiction and infighting. Updated to the original episode are Dave Mustaine's crippling hand injury which threatens the bands survival, a painful law suit and more walk outs and throw outs of band members. Now they're in the 'Big Four' and still aiming for the top spot, but even if Dave Mustaine is happy with the new line up he remains unhappy about their ranking in the top ten of Heavy Metal – still just behind Metallica.
"Metal Evolution Chapter 1: Pre-Metal" premieres Friday, November 11 at 10 PM ET/PT.
The premiere episode of "Metal Evolution Chapter 1: Pre-Metal" will focus on Pre-Metal, the earliest sounds of Metal that can be heard in the music of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix. Subsequent episodes of the series will explore genres ranging from British Heavy Metal to Glam Metal to Thrash Metal, and artists from Iron Maiden to KISS to Metallica and more.

Subsequent episodes of the series will explore genres ranging from British Heavy Metal to Glam Metal to Thrash Metal, and artists from Iron Maiden to KISS to Metallica and more. New episodes of "Metal Evolution" will premiere every Saturday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT on VH1 Classic. This is what Sam Dunn (the producer of "Metal Evolution") had to say about this new series.
"When we did 'Metal: A Headbanger's Journey', we knew we weren't going to be able to cover all of the different styles, subgenres and history of the metal scene in a 90-minute film. That was the inspiration behind using a family tree in the documentary to help show that side of things. That film was more an exploration of the culture and controversy around Heavy Metal. It wasn't meant to be a history lesson about the music... Soon after our first documentary came out, we had people telling us that they wished we had made it eight hours long. [Laughs] So the idea behind this series was to bring people 11 one-hour episodes where we focus on one subject each time. Part of the inspiration to even do this new series was all of those hardcore Metal fans that have a passion for the music, its history, and an obsession with categorizing everything to help understand it all. We hope this series feeds that curiosity."
