THE 80'S REMINDS ME OF MTV'S GREATEST DAYS 86-89.I REALLY MISS STAYING UP WATCHING HEADBANGERS BALL,THE WORLD PREMEIRES,WAITING TO SEE NEW BANDS AND GOING OUT TO BUY THEM,EVEN IF I DID'NT STAY UP TO WATCH I WOULD TAPE AND WATCH IT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.THE 80S METAL VIDEOS WERE THE GREATEST!DIAL MTV WAS COOL TOO!,SEEING POISON-TALK DIRTY TO ME,BON JOVI-YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME,CINDERELLA,STRYPER,ETC!!.ADAM CURRY,RIKI RACHTMAN THE GREATEST DAYS ON MTV!!!!!

I hear you loud and clear.. I don't know why MTV or VH1 can't find time to play some of THOSE reruns instead of the same reruns we saw LAST MONTH... Atleast a rerun from 10 years ago would actually be COOL...

I wish they would put HB Ball out on video, it would sell like hot cakes and I would be broke <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON STOP-->

You're not kidding because I'd be broke too! :)

Hey, Riki Rachtman just told me the other day that FRIDAY, APRIL 21, MTV is doing a Headbanger's Ball tribute show.

Wow! If you hear anymore about this, please let me know! My email is claziano@optonline.net

I'd like to post this up on the front page as soon as possible! Thanks...

God, that was the best show on MTV. "The Rock Show" on VH-1 is nice but it just cannot compete with HBB, in my opinion. Riki Rachtman was HOT, esp. when his hair was long. I wish that they would bring back that show.......those were the days:D Releasing all the episodes is a great idea too. I agree, they would sell-out in a matter of days!

Rockergirl, do you know what time that's going to be on, because I don't see it in the TV guide?

Uhoh, I think it's getting too late.. I haven't heard anything either.. If you's fine out anything, post it here! :b

coool (sick) LA scene you guys let me know who has gotten a clue and who still does not get it. I must tell ya reading a lot of those interviews do make me long for the old CATHOUSE days. Ya know as cliché as all that sex
talk may sound it really was crazy back in the day. So Im reading the Bobbi Brown interview on guys she boned. Is a no better than a not? Could a no mean a would? Well anyways the reason Im writing ya is to tell you an MTV
special will begin airing on the 21st and then a bunch of times after that. It profiles me and the Headbangers Ball days. I guess I hate to say it its kinda a where are they now.

Here is something ya might get a kick out of. Back in the CATHOUSE days I though TUFF was a ****in joke. Well lately Ive been skating with Stevie Rachelle ya know what he's a pretty cool guy and a damn good skater Go
figure.

Well thanks for the entertainment

Um what was it "one foot in the umm uhhh uhh bye"

Who is this guy anyway? I don't know who we're talking about here...

Ya know what I got busy and forgot all about watching MTV for that show, Dammit! I'm glad it will be rerun, I'll have to keep an eye out for it. :b

Sal I think he was an MTV host, I don't remember much about him, just his name, I need to see him to remember him :lol

hehe. Okay. I didn't get to watch it either... The name sounds familiar, but.. A few names sound like his anyway... Oh well! One day I'll find out. :)

Riki Rachtman was one of the hosts of Headbangers Ball.

Oh, okay.. Thank you! That helps! :)

Has anyone seen this yet? I can't wait too. Of course I just read these post a week later but I'm sure I'll see it eventually, I gotta tape it too. Just like old times

They also used "Wake Up Dead" by Megadeth for a time (M-deth is still used on MTV news with "Peace Sells")

Killer thread! (Great forums, too.)
Thanks for bringing me back in the day... :smokin

I have a couple petitions for everyone to sign. It's about how Mtv should play more rock, or give us our own channel. They had Mtv-X, which was an all rock channel with no commercials. They turned it into a rap channel, which is now MtvJams. Don't let Mtv do this to us. Please sign the petitions. Mtv-X showed a lot of Headbanger's Ball videos. Mtv took it down, so they could put some mainstream music on there. That goes to show you, they're just in it for the money. Don't let Mtv do this to us. Please sign. You can find the petitions on my band's website. It's: www.geocities.com/malice_ill_will/ (http://www.geocities.com/malice_ill_will/) Thank you for your time. -- Josh Conner
