A quick little memory of the good old days! Saturday night with Adam (The Blade) Curry! Hahahahaha! He hated that nickname! Please Subscribe!!! More 80's coolness on the way!!!
Good lord I never thought I would see this. 1989 I was 25 going to college and raising hell LOL. I miss those days when MTV was about music. I remember when it played non stop music.
I like to know what happened to MTV over the years, they used to be like one of the coolest networks to watch. Also they had all these hard Rock videos head bangers ball, then all of a sudden they just stopped. MTV needs to go back the way they used to be and bring all that a hardcore Rock and metal back too
You know, I missed it like hell when MTV canceled it. I would reminisce about how awesome Headbanger’s Ball was with friends when we got drunk all throughout the second half of the 90s. The truth is, you are absolutely right. In fact, three videos was a good night. Most of the bands they played sucked even after Axl got Riki Rachtman the hosting gig.
Backdrop was the destruction The Firemen made of the former MTV set after a devastating fire ripped through the set starting in a Janitor's closet next door!
I saw the JRE podcast and couldn't remember where I knew Adam from...then an image of the leather jacket and hair popped into my head and blew my mind.
Dude...these were good days, the videos were usually buttrock though, heavy stuff was rare. Coroner-Masked Jackal was heavy, Testament-Trial by Fire, Megadeth-Wake Up Dead, it was usually Cinderella, Poison, Skid Row, Winger, Slaughter, etc, they made you sit through alot of bs to get to something cool like Peace Sells. They played SOD as bumper music but dished up lots of glam metal buttrockers.
@Kirby Little what's your evidence? if you watch a doc, they picked him for his hair. he never wore that jacket during his daytime VJ work for instance.
@Kirby Little They paid him very well, and he got to be on TV. All he had to do was read que cards. Do you think every radio DJ, or club/party DJ, loves the songs they spin? Weak. You shouldn't throw those insults around so quick.
@Kirby Little ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k3uwHKA-3gQ.html If you want evidence of my point, this is a Headbanger's Ball doc, 11:30 stats the coverage of about Adam getting the job, and "faking it" basically. So they replaced him with Rikki, who was NOT faking it.
He loves what the metal scene was like in the 80s, said it was a magical time, businessmen in suits walking past screaming "fucking headbangers ball man" as they walk past was something special for him.
