That Metal Show Cancelled By VH1 Classic – No Season 15

VH1 Classic has cancelled That Metal Show after fourteen seasons – the hard rock/heavy metal talk show will not return for Season 15.

Co-hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine and Dom Jamieson confirmed the cancellation in a statement:

A message to the loyal fans of That Metal Show from Eddie, Jim & Don:

We are sorry to report that VH1 Classic will not continue to make any new episodes of That Metal Show. It has been an incredible run of eight years, roughly 125 episodes and some really cool specials. The global response to TMS has been simply amazing, and we will be eternally grateful for the support from the rock and metal fans that have showed us so much love. We truly would have never made it as long as we did without you! A huge thanks also to the great crews we had over the years both in NYC and Los Angeles, to our producer Jeff Baumgardner, and to all the executives at VH1. And finally, thanks to the hundreds of artists that joined us on our set, had fun with us, shared their stories and many, many laughs. From the biggest names in rock history, to the up-and-comers: we thank you all for being a part of it.

Of course we very much want to keep That Metal Show alive, and with the blessing of VH1 Classic, we’ve got the keys to the show and are currently searching for a new home. We’re not sure where we’ll land, but we hope to be back in our studio and your living rooms as soon as possible. In the meantime, keep an eye out for us on the road and come say, “Hello.”

Thank you for watching all these years, and we’ll keep you posted as soon as we have news to share.

Trunk also addressed fan questions concerning the show’s demise on Periscope and Twitter:

Amazing response today from everyone about the TMS news. I can't thank you all enough for the support. Appreciate it https://t.co/yZk40u7QnG

If you feel that way then tell @AXSTV and @mcuban , not me. THEY have to want the show. Thanks! https://t.co/vQY4pS4KdC

I get that it's easy to just call out networks for the show to land. But they have to WANT the show. It's not that easy. We are trying. Thx!

And by the way, @Palladia is owned by @VH1 . So if they wanted the show they could have seamlessly moved it there. Just an FYI.
