Conference napalm::heavy_metal

You'll put in a reminder for this as the 31 approaches right?


More Beavis and Butthead - In fact B&B 24 hrs a day!  Just kidding they've gone
down the chute just like MTV...

I used to watch MTV much more 5 years ago.  It seems to have gotten away from
the things that I initially liked:

 Saturday night at 11 they'd play a concert video

 That was followed at midnight by the HBB

 I do like the Unplugged shows they do but they haven't done a new one in a
 while.

 For a while the Buzz clips were coming out fast and furious.  I'd even
 venture that Buzz clips broke a few bands into the big time.

 And what is with them showing The Grind all the time in the morning?  Even     
 worse (I'll burn in hell for saying I know this) they rerun the damn shows!


Tim

    I'm definately goin to protest that damn Dating Game show...
    Jenny McCarthy may look really good in Playboy...but she is a total
    flake on that show.  Am I the only one who can't stand her voice ?
      
    Shane, who wonders whatever happened to Randy of the Redwoods

    Randy of the Redwoods is a good one to wonder about.  
    
    What about Kevin Seale and that stupid Amuck in America show?
    
    They've had some winners, fer sure!

    
    half the amount of rap shown
    
    loose all the stupid dating game/beach house crap
    
    return HBB
    
    more variation in videos shown(right now it seems they show 7 rap then
    1 Aerosmith video)
    
    loose the crap cartoons likes Aeon flux
    
    							ian

    
    	Jenny McCarthy?  Wow.  What time's that show on?
    

    But what if they take off "Beevis and Butthead"????

    Then tell not to take off B&B!
    
    I think this is great!  I hope they listen.  And I hope the "right"
    people respond.  Otherwise we could end up with twice as much rap!  :')
    
    Buck, where did you hear about this?
    
    Ken
    

    
    take B&B off the air and I wouldn't care a jot~
    
    
    they're crap and completely unfunny....now the Simpsons,thats a funny
    cartoon! 8)
    
         					ian
    
    

    
    Sounds like a MAJOR plan!!!!!  MTV blows the big one.
    
    

    
    
    
    		How about just putting the "MUSIC" back in
    
    		Music TeleVision.  I'd say 9 out of 10 times 
    
    		I turn to that channel.  There is NO MUSIC playing!!
    
    
    		CMD

    Definately more music...
    
    Definately head bangers ball...
      I think the greasy taxi guy should be the host ...
      or maybe have Beavis and Butthead host it that way you get
      the best of both worlds
    
    kill The Real'ly fake ham it up for the cameras' World...
    
    Definately keep MTV 'The State'...too funny.
    
    Just my 1 cent... 
    
    Shane, who couldn't find another penny to make it 2 cents
    
    

>    kill The Real'ly fake ham it up for the cameras' World...
    
    Is this negotiable?
    
    How about we kill the show but bring "Puck" back as a VJ?

    	Definitely use a spell-checker before sending your e-mail %^)
    
    	I might be showing my age, but I remember when MTV actually
    	showed videos of musicians playing musical instruments.
    
    	Now, it seems you have to be a dance artist to get on MTV.
    
    	I can appreciate talented dancers, but when I want to watch
    	a "music" video, I'd like to see a talented musician, not some
    	jewelry decorated nobody on a rap label whose producer has to
    	hire real singers to sing the background vocals, since the
    	"artist" has no musical education/talent whatsoever.
    
    	(how's that for a run-on sentence?)
    
    	Face...

	I find it funny that everyone even knows what's on EmpTeV.  I couldn't
	tell you what shows are on that channel.  For a channel everyone seems
	to hate, ya'll seem to watch it a lot.

    never let Puck appear on tv ever again.The biggest shite-head I have
    ever seen on tv!

    All the more reason why you can be sure you'll see him.
    
    I heard he did a bit part on some very popular sitcom - he played
    the classic "last guy you'd want your daughter to go out with" role.
    
    A part I'd say he was BORN to play.

    	Yup......  it was the John Larroquette show.
    

    IMPORTANT update notice on OPERATION: REVOLUTION !!!
    
    
    IN ADDITION (*not* as a replacement !!!) to writing to MTV on Halloween
    Day, OPERATION: REVOLUTION has grown to include a plan to bombard MTV's
    "Most Wanted" call-in show with a radical request.

    To signify the group where this benevolent movement started, (and for 
    simplicity's sake), we, the Worldwide Internet community, have decided
    to call in to MTV en-masse and request one song:  Queensryche's
    "Anybody Listening?"

    This song was selected to send a message to eMpTyV.  This song was 
    selected because it isn't too new (and trendy), isn't too old (and 
    overplayed), and it has a specific message.  And again, in requesting 
    this song, we honor the newsgroup where this grand movement started
    (alt.music.progressive -- for those wondering).

    * When to do it?  Call in on Halloween Day, starting around 5:30 to 
      6:00 P.M., Eastern STD Time.
    
    * The song to request:  Queensryche's "Anybody Listening?"
    
    * the PHONE NUMBER:  1-800-DIAL-MTV ***

    
    PLEASE NOTE: This call-in is NOT a replacement for the originally
    planned write-in on Halloween Day.  Moreso, it IS a significant part of
    a one-two-punch combination.

    Feel free to call in everyday for the remainder of the week, too.  But 
    remember to CALL IN ON HALLOWEEN DAY!
    
    Also, mark your calendars to WRITE to MTV on Tuesday, Oct. 31st.
       
    United together, we WILL make a difference!!!

    TODAY IS THE DAY !!!     TODAY IS THE DAY !!!     TODAY IS THE DAY !!!
    
                                    of
    
    			   OPERATION: REVOLUTION 
    
    
    Today, 31 October -- All Hallows Eve -- we, the worldwide Internet
    community, will share a voice in protest of what we feel to be
    abhorable and unacceptable programming on the part of MTV, "Music"
    Television!
    
    If you share our disdain of MTV, TODAY, 10/31, you can help our cause
    in two easy ways:
    
    1) SEND Internet mail to MTV at the addresses supplied below and voice
       your opinions on WHY you channel surf PAST MTV!!  Let them know what
       you'd like them to can, and what shows you would like them to return.

    	- OPERATION: REVOLUTION is huge, and we must keep things legit to be 
          taken seriously.  Only ONE letter per person, please.
        
    	- Profane, vulgar, or derogatory letters will only hurt our cause. 
          We should keep our letters clean & specific.
           
       
    2) Call into MTV's "Most Wanted" call-in show and request 
       Queensryche's "Anybody Listening?"

    	* the PHONE NUMBER:  1-800-DIAL-MTV
    
    	* When to do it?  Call in on Halloween Day, starting around 5:30pm

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT -- TOGETHER WE **WILL** BE HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

    
    Hi!
    
    I hope you all did your music-loving duty and wrote in.
    
    I don't know how they'll feel about some of my comments including that
    'listening to college radio and putting up a band poster to stare at is
    generally more entertaining to music lovers than their current
    programming'  :^)
    
    /jen

    
    Oh Yes I did.... I said basically it went from MUSIC TELEVISION to
    RAP TELEVISION and I hated it !

    My basic complaint was that Daisy Fuentes wears waaayy too much
    clothing !!
    
    oh and to bring back Headbangers Ball....
    
    maybe hosted by Daisy Fuentes...
    I bet she could kick Jenny McCarthy's butt...that would be cool !!
    
    oh yeah and to play more videos too..

    I basically blasted them for their excessive rap videos, esp. the
    Gangstah rap ones -- while their censors apparently have NO problem
    with the violent messages in these videos, they won't let Tom Petty
    utter the word "joint" or that chick's new video where she says
    "chicken shit"?!?
    
    Howz that for a double standard?

Don't forget the fridges full of malt liquors

    
    Bummer...I just got my internet mail back saying it couldn't be
    delivered cuz MTV's Mailbox was full!  :(
    
    Of course that might mean that they were overrun with feedback which
    would be great!  :)
    
    /jen

    Jen, just resend it again...it'll get through sometime.
    
    

    
    	"Resend it again" or "resend it"?
    
    	If she's only tried to send it once, she'd have to "resend it".
    	If she's tried to send it more than once, THEN she'd have to
    	"resend it again".
    
    	This public service announcement has been brought to you by the
    	letter "S" and the number 7.
    

    
    see...being blonde and female didn't prevent me from being REJECTED :^)
    
    /j

    
    I got that reply back as well, but I did get through to their
    other addresses.  
    
    I told 'em to be ready for a new breed of metal that is going
    to hit bigtime...a bit of a personal prediction here.
    
    I also slammed on the amount of programming that has ZERO to do
    with anything musical in nature...friggin' soap operas and stupid
    on the road things gotta go.  I told them they were the reason 
    Heavy Metal has been spread so thin (Oooo!  Look out!) and that
    the Headbanger's Ball would be nice again...and not at some ungodly
    hour of the night.
    
    Kev --
    
    Kev --
    

    
    exactly !  I had tried to write them last month and received it
    back then..
    
    SueJ

    Well, other than the replies received on your e-mail, has anyone heard
    what the outcome of this was??
    Has the great MTV gods stated anything about this, or are they still
    out looking for the "REAL WORLD"??
    
    Paully
    

    MTV is still crap!

    	SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD.......etc
    
    I've just read this little file and I cant beleive it.
    
    D'ya think your gonna listen to a load of closed minded geeks who must
    watch too much of this channel to even give a shit about it.
    
    	If you dont like it...
    				TURN IT OFF!!!
    		Get out of the house and do something interesting with your
    lives , you yanks really do get involved in some of the most pointless
    activities I've ever seen.
    
    	Thanks anyway , I've had a great laugh this afternoon showing this
    file to all my mates at work who also CAN'T BELEIVE how sad you are.
    
    	Witty replies will be much appreciated since the week before
    Christmas is usually pretty quiet and it'll give me something to do
    
    	Signed a Brit who knows MTV is crap but hey , GET A LIFE !!!!

    
    RE: -1
    
    This coming from a guy that lives in a country where they have 4
    stations and they complain about American TV being cr*p and yet that is
    about all they show...
    
    /jen

    Yeah really....whats the matter, upset that Lady Di admitted to an
    affair??
    
    
    Dave

    
    what a stupid retort re-1 was!
    
    
    						Ian

    Well... I admit it... I kinda watch "Are You Being Served?" now and
    then.
    
    But if that's the best brit-TV has to offer, I'm going to celebrate
    Independence Day just a little bit harder next year!
    
    ;-)
    
    	db

    
    	The only thing that upset me about Lady Di's affair was that she
    	didn't have it with ME.
    

    I must be the only person in the world who "positive rating" of Di
    went down with that interview.
    
    I think she has an inflated sense of herself, her role, her morals
    and I think it's just one more reason why Britain should take that
    whole family and throw them out on the street.
    
    The only legitimate argument I've seen for their continued existance
    at the taxpayer's expense is their value as a "tourist attraction".
    
    I think she never loved Charles and she just married him for the
    position.   You know what that makes her in my book?  It begins with
    the letter "w" and it does NOT rhyme with "bitch".
    
    	db

Dave,  
     believe me, "are you beign served" is no where near good UK tv!Its shite
and has been that way since the 70's when it first made it's appearance.


 Royals!

 leeches and parasites...down with them all!


								ian

    
    	"Are You Being Served?" is a GREAT show ... almost as good as
    	Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean".
    

    
    Re: .37
    
    You need to watch some Black Adder or better yet, Red Dwarf! That show
    rulez! I love it, a hoot, about the only decent bbc stuff other than
    old Monty Python re-runs!
    
    

    >  "Are You Being Served?" is a GREAT show 
    
    Admit it dude!  The only reason you watch that show is cause you have
    the hots for Mrs. Slocumbe!!!

    The best British show I ever saw was Faulty Towers with John Cleese
    post Monty Python days.  That guy is a fricken riot.
    
    Shane, who heard that belittling others over the internet is done by
    people who have developed a complex due to inferior penis size.

    Shane, what is this penis fixation you seem to have today?!?!?
    
    
    To the wank who slagged me off way back ... bollocks!  MTV is shite!!
    ... and if I wanna send them mail saying so, I will, thank you!
    
    
    -1  Faulty Towers was excellent!!

    Re: -1
    
    I don't know what you're talking about ??
    
    Shane, ....penis penis penis

    re: 33........and how precious and pretentious is *this* little note...
    thanks for the example of english pretentiousness.....we knew there was
    a reason we fought the revolution................../k

    Huhhh_Hee_Hehh_Huhhh      He said        "penis"
    
     And Mr.Fish_Stick.
     We've got MTV and You've got MTV..It Bites Over here so many of us
    do Turn it off...But if in any way we could have our Voices heard,

    go up And We'd be More Informed About Real R&R...Not what They're
    Showin

    Oh for goodness sake, why do we have to reduce ourselves to this petty
    level of insults?  Why does someone always have to bite?
    
    I think Al has said it all: if you feel strongly on the subject then
    you'll mail MTV, if you don't then you'll switch it off.  Fine, let's
    get back to the subject and drop the insults to my heritage.
    
    Pretentiously, Flip

    ...the insult was levelled at what's his name..certainly not you (or
    all those other lovely english folks who aren't total wanks....) my
    little chickadee......;")...i felt certain that you'd know that....and
    besides that...i thought you were a gypsy........;')............./k

    Does anyone watch the dating show called "Singled Out"
    
    50 guys/50 gals.
    
    Pick from catagories like
    
    For the guys picking the gals:
    Height
    Hair Color
    Body
    Dating Style
    Chest (beleive it or not this is a category)
    Commitment
    Age
    
    For the gals picking the guys:
    Height
    Muscles
    Butt (beleive it or not this is a category)
    Dating Style
    Facial Hair
    Commitment
    
    The after all the people are weeded out and thrown back in the 'dating
    pool' they start the "Keep em or dump em" round,  until they narrow it
    down to 3 people and then the lame questions come.
    
    
    

    
    RE: -1
    
    just another reason why staring at peeling wallpaper is more
    entertaining than the current MTV! :^)

    Jen I gotta send a note off to RAP TV.
    
    Singled out one lame show.  Funny though to say the least!
    
    
    I will let my voice be heard. Too much rap and not much rock!

    	Ha Ha Haaaaarrrrrggghhhhh!!!!!!
    
    	Fished in .... Got another 25 notes out of someone.
    
    	The point is MTV dont care about what you think , if you hadn't
    note_iced shite music makes a huge amount of money for the fat cats and
    therefore THEIR GONNA PUT MORE OF IT ON MTV... 	easy.
    
    	And if you ever ..... ever ,ever,ever,ever call me names again I'm
    not gonna care cos its my opinion , just like its yours to send
    pointless mails to MTV.
    	Seriously though , do you really think it will make any difference.
    After all its only MTV.
    	Buck , tut,tut,tut ; I dont mind you havin a pop at me over the old
    NET but sweeping generalisation about old Blighty , its just not on old
    chap
    	Preacher man ( golly gosh he said with his black suit, bowler hat
    and black umberella )

    
    Relax.
    

    	OK , sorry about all the grief , I just thought it was a strange
    idea and a bit of a waste of time .
    	The notes wer'nt aimed at anyone in particular , just a bit of fun
    to brighten a dreary day at the office. Didnt think you'd bite so hard.
    
    	I'm back on the Prozac now after the experimental period of detox
    so everything looks fluffy and rosie in the universe today.
