VH1 Classics

[jazjme]

At this time of night on Friday, they do the show Metal Mania till like 6am or stm.. and damn does it bring back the great memories of all the great rock most of us love, from GNR-Ozzy, Motley , etc... love watching all these classic vids!


at the moment I posted they played vid of Motley Crue Dr Feelgood, now they are playing Saints of Los Angeles, under a title current classics, Im damn sure they will do the same with any GNR vids, old or new.

is this in America only, or does the UK get this show broadcast?

im sure we have the VH1 Classics Channel but it generally plays shit in main hours.

[jazjme]

IM not sure, but the playlist I just watched for the last 3 hrs, was awesome.

Remember when MTV was the channel for music and VH1 was for 30+ music fans?

My things have changed in 20 years!!

[jazjme]

yes , now VH1 classics is for those who grew up with MTV .. but yeh I anticipated that . But still cool to have a outlet to see the vids . and they play the new stuff from bands also.

VH1 classic is the only one of the channels I can stand to watch.

PARTY! Max is fun when VH1 has all those reality shows on.



PS. Good editing in those GN'R vids......particularly Paradise City. That was put out after 1990 though there is Donnington footage there...... some of the Patience stuff also after 1990......('cos Steve's there).....

I didnt know they were doing classic/current anymore. They canceled the show back in 2004, the last thing I remember seeing on there was 'Slither' and 'Sweet Child O' Mine".

Or was it just for that one video?

Metal Mania rocks.  It's on weekend nights and then weekend late mornings so you can watch it while you rock out of your hangover.  They have some good stuff on their aside from Metal Mania too.  VH1 Classic is one of my favorite channels for sure.

They had the Classic/Current show all the way up to 2006, if my memory serves me well.

But nowadays, they will play an old video by an artist and then a new one.  And as they are playing the new one, the CLASSIC/CURRENT logo will appear in the upper left hand corner.

Im damn sure they will do the same with any GNR vids, old or new.

They did it with old GN'R/VR.

VH1 Classic rules.  Aside from sports, it's all I really watch on TV.  (And my old tv shows.)

They have concerts, documentaries and blocks of hours dedicated to old videos.

The Who Rock Honors premiered on Vh1 and Vh1 classic simultaneously on Thursday. It'll probably be repeated 1000 times though.

Cool, thanks for clearing that up. And I think you're right, it was 2006 or around then.

I saw a classic / Current vid by Whitesnake today.

I saw a classic / Current vid by Whitesnake today.

Yeah, I saw that last week.  I wasn't aware they had new stuff out.  I'll be honest though, I didn't quite make it through the entire new song.  Didn't exactly draw me in.  They've been playing Skid Row, followed by "Love Is A Bitchslap" lately.

[jazjme]

I also saw that whitesnake,  the new album is cool. not earth shattering, but damn what year of we in 2008 , 1988.lol as it seems alot of these bands are doing things again.!!!! and hell Im all for it makes me happy!

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I saw a classic / Current vid by Whitesnake today.

I saw that one too.  Fucking Robert Plant wannabe! 

My recent favorite Classic/Current artists are Springsteen and Def Leppard.

Girls In Their Summer Clothes and Nine Lives.  Pretty cool!

Imagine having Jungle/any new song!? 

[GNRreunioneventually]

hey man whitesnake kicks ass and yes robert plant is like his hero/inspiration, its why we have songs like "in the still of the night".

so they just honored the WHO at the rock honors? thats kinda lame they usually have like 3 or 4 bands

Not really that lame. The first year they did it with Queen, Judas Priest, and Kiss was good. Last year was crap. The only artist I wanted to see was Ozzy. ZZ Top, Heart, and Genesis, while they may be good bands, are not ones I listen to on any kind of regular basis. They just dont do anything for me.

This year with one artist it makes it less boring. That is, as long as you like the artist they're paying tribute to 
Foo Fighters, Incubus, Flaming Lips, Tenacious D, and Pearl Jam played this year. I still gotta watch it though. Maybe I'm wrong but I like this format kinda better than having one or two good artists with a couple others that they happened to be able to throw in.

[GNRreunioneventually]

i'll admit Genisis.....just not for me. Hearts ok and ZZtops pretty cool but yeah Ozzy was really the only one i tuned into watch last year.

[faldor]

Yeah in years past they've had bands like The All American Rejects and Nickelback pay tribute.  This years bands were much better and they all did a pretty fantastic job.  Eddie Vedder is a great live performer.
