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. "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. After the premiere episode on National Metal Day, "Metal Evolution" will move to its regular time slot on Saturdays at 10 PM ET/PT, beginning Saturday, November 19 between new episodes of "Behind The Music: Remastered" at 9PM ET/PT and That Metal Show at 11PM ET/PT.
"That Metal Show" Season nine premieres Friday, November 11 at 11PM ET/PT. The boys are back and there's gonna be some trouble! Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine are back in LA and bringing the heat with season nine of That Metal Show. An all-star lineup of iconic metal guests grace the stage this season including: Axl Rose, Marilyn Manson, Slash, Sully Erna, Jesse James Dupree, Tracii Guns, Brian Johnson, Dave Mustaine and more! Season nine of That Metal Show will deliver the ever popular "Stump The Trunk" and "TMS TOP 5" segments.
