Here Today... Gone To Hell!

So, who's gonna be watching it?



I was actually checking out the nominees.

I don't know what to say....



/jarmo

Nope.

If Van Halen/Guns N' Roses/Led Zeppelin/Slash show up I'll watch it on youtube.

Not going to sit through four hours of that shit.

Thanks for the heads up

This is actually gonna be an awesome show as its the 25th anniversary so there are gonna be a lot of throw back/nostalgic moments.


Im gonna Tivo it and fast forward through the shit.;

i hear ya i did it last year and i was very dissapointed >:(


besides i'm getting Unforgiven :headbanger:

I'm just watchin for ol' Russ, plus theres prolly not much else on the television.

watch this and miss wrestling? no way man.

I'm back home with Sky for the first time in months, so personally I can't wait for

Unforgiven !!

wrestling :hihi:

about 30 minuets. i think the red carpet thing is on

Unless someone worth a damn makes a surprise performance like GNR or NIN i'll stick to watching the bears and colts game.

I'll watch just to see Slash, He's Cool.

i might get bashed for asking this...but who the hell is Russel Brand? I saw on Google a British comedian and stuff but, I've never heard of him..?

So........ if GNR do play and Slash is there......


That makes me think it isn't happening.

Thinking of Slash and Axl in the same room though....... DAMN that gets me excited.

Yeah, we know you love the current band.

Pink kicked ass.  Almost came out of that shirt--lol.

I'm not watching yet...but still getting updated.  :hihi:  Slash must have been on, that wasn't his choice.

LINKIN PARK Wins MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARD For 'Best Rock Video' - Sep. 7, 2008

LINKIN PARK beat out the likes of SLIPKNOT, FOO FIGHTERS and PARAMORE to win an MTV Video Music Award in the "Best Rock Video" category. The MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by British comic and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" co-star Russell Brand, is being broadcast live tonight (Sunday, September 7) from the legendary Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood.

"Best Rock Video" nominees:

PARAMORE - "CrushCrushCrush"
SLIPKNOT - "Psychosocial"
LINKIN PARK - "Shadow of the Day"
FOO FIGHTERS - "The Pretender"
FALL OUT BOY - "Beat It"

What is this? Like 10 messages and no obligatory !MTV fucking  SUCKS! post?

MTV fucking sucks!

They've gone from playing fairly shitty music to not playing music at all.

All that seems to remain is absolutely fucking repulsive reality tv show after another  aimed at people who hopefully are so stupid they dont even exist.
If their current catalogue doesn't summon a lot of violent thoughts in you, you just arent a good human being. :no:

Music gets the top priority only when they decide to do the annual "OHH LOOK AT US WE ARE SO FUCKING IMPORTANT"ring jerk. It must be getting really, really hard to keep pretending like any of their 2000 meaningless award shows really mattered to anyone anymore.

I just love watching youtube and co. slowly eating  that annoying monstrosity to death.

It's puzzling how they can piss  the massive relevance they had at late 80's/early 90's away. Of course, it's different world out there. They (as a network that actually plays music videos) are facing competition  in forms they can't fairly compete with  even. But it's not like they ever seemed to try even. Unless you want to count footage of annoying teenaged drama queen assholes running around in some irrelevant show a proper counterstrike to Youtube.

^ that was a hell of a rant you forgot the :rant: smiley


any who.... no one said that MTV sucks in there posts probably because we all know it and have come to terms with it :) but just to make things right and sure


MTV SUCKS :rant:



so i was watching Unforgiven...it was par...G'n'R show up/do anything?

Nothin big happened.

Russell was funny, especially after the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks got pissed at him for making fun of their promise rings.   :hihi:

Worst VMA's by far ever.

ya what the fuck was that?

I admit I watched right to the credits praying for GNR to fuckin shred into Shacklers and save me from the bullshit that was raping my eyes and ears

what a shame for the 25th anniversay to be that bad. only good perform was kid rock. really, its better gnr didnt perform to that embarrasement

the whole joke on slipknot and mcloving was funny, very unexpected. Jordin was pissed at Russell for the promise ring comment, at least he had the balls to say it, her comeback was horrible

Russell Brand (at least, I think that's his name) was the best part of the show, IMO, and the only reason worth watching. I saw something on Yahoo that said he's the worst VMA host ever, or some crap like that, but I thought he was very funny. He made several racy jokes; he wasn't afraid of offending anyone in the audience. I got the feeling that he knew that the show and all its participants were incredibly lame, and he went out of his way to poke fun at everyone and everything, as well as interrupting presenters and doing his best to make everyone feel awkward and uncomfortable. I love the guy for that. I also think it was cool of MTV to allow a basic unknown to host the show.

But yeah, I'm like everyone else . . . What the hell is the point of the VMAs being on a channel that doesn't even show music videos (or, for that matter, anything to do with music, period). Maybe I'm not "cool," but I didn't even know several of the people I saw last night. Who the hell is Paramore? And Tokio Hotel? (<-- Is their singer a dude, chick, transvestite?). Britney Spears winning anything is a joke.

I think VH1 should host the show from now on. At least they show nothing but music videos from like 3 a.m. to 10 a.m. I like the "Artists You Should Know . . ." thing they do, helping promote more obscure bands/musicans that deserve success.

Jordan Sparks could kick his ass.  :hihi:  Hell, she looks like a linebacker.

D - did you skip thru everything you tivo'd?  This sucked.

It was like the Britney pity party or something.

Tokio Hotel's singer was purdy.  ::)

Russell Brand was hilarious. Britney won cause look what she was up against?

Rihanna's performance was excellent although I think they all lip synch.


Did u see the awkard ass Kid Rock performance? The ENTIRE CROWD was just fucking sitting there. No clapping, no standing, NOTHING. Very very fucking weird.
Pink's performance was pretty good also and u almost saw a nipple slip! OOPS!


Rest of the night was Ungodly terrible. Unbelievable how souless and shitty music is these days.

I swear to God I could be a millionaire producing the retarded, mind numbing shitty synth pop music thats out today.

Its so piss stupid and ridiculous.

Labels blame Downloaders for the record business dying.

maybe they should listen to their fucking products.

i only watched it because of Russell Brand. i kept on skipping the show until he came out. the beginning was hilarious though

Russel Brand was horrible, unless the point was to make all the other monotone 'readers' look better...they used an unknown because all the other trainwrecks have better paying jobs on reality shows, or in rehab.  The 'music' (read: Karaoke) was horrible because MTV/VH1/CMT don't know what music is anymore...more interested in fashion and 'reality tv' (read: set-up scripted drama).  I thankfully fell asleep shortly after they gave a 33 minute warning for Kenya West.  I had to look up Tokio Hotel today, because I had nightmares about the chick singer...apparently her...err, his, name is Bill something.  MTV is part of the music industry's 'rust belt', and needs to change or die.

Well I guess you won't want to know this but anyone else who, like me, enjoyed ol' Russ at the VMAs might be happy about this.  BBC2 are finally showing a repeat of Russell Brand on the Road (first shown last year on BBC4, if memory serves).

From the Radio Times website:

Russell Brand on the Road
Sunday 14 September 10:45pm - 11:45pm  BBC2
Russell Brand sets out across America's vast heartland in homage to one of his literary heroes, Jack Kerouac and his classic novel, On The Road, which turns 50 this year and has inspired countless hipsters and restless souls to hit the road. Russell read the book when he was nineteen and was excited by the sense of magic and possibility it conjured up. Travelling with his friend Matt Morgan, he sets off on a own coast-to-coast adventure that becomes a journey of self-discovery.

You can also watch it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPxa7XhvZKk

And loads of other great Russ stuff to see at:

And back on topic about the VMAs, when did they get so safe, sanitised and lets face it, dull?!  It was like watching a Disney production.

Russell Brand has sparked a lot of controvery now after the VMAs. A lot of people are angry about him making fun of Bush, calling him a "retarded cowboy" (hey, he's only making an obvious observation!). Apparently it's okay for American comics to constantly bash the president, but not a "foreigner." Christian conservatives are angry with him for making fun of promise rings and abstinence. Lovers of the Jonas Brothers are angry with him, as are Jordin Sparks' fans. Whatever the hell Twilight is, the play or whatever, apparently fans of that are really angry with him and have been sending tons of e-mails to MTV complaining about Brand interrupting one of the members of the play when he was trying to present the next act.

I think all of it's pretty hilarious. As I said already, Brand was the only good thing about the VMAs. He has a rock star attitude (and look); he shook things up; he didn't play it safe; and now he's also made a name for himself in the U.S. due to being so "controversial." I hope he becomes a big star here like he has in his own country.

Last thing Obama needs is some dude like Russell Brand endorsing him for president.
