Adam Curry! :lol: Oh shit. I forgot, he did host that.
Maybe that was part of why I couldn't stand Rikki. Or however he spells his name. I started watching the Ball when Adam hosted it, and he just had such a better style, and like you said, the music was generally better.
I watched HBB for the videos, not for whatever dimbulb was "hosting" it at any given time.
My favorite was when Tony Iommi and Cozy Powell guest-hosted in 1989, when Headless Cross was released. They should have just had guest hosts every week.
That is what they often do now, which means you get to watch a shitty metalcore band's five shitty videos for the five shitty songs that sound the same.
MTV doesn't stand for Music Television anymore, it actually doesn't mean anything anymore :lol: MTV is just MTV now. They've dropped all association with music. If they happen to play some music, it's just a coincidence :lol:
the last time i saw something good on MTV was an episode of Headbangers Ball, with Vanessa Warwick hosting it - i dont even know the guys you mentioned as hosts, the "warwick" Era was the only one shown here. :-/
Oh hell....right now the radio here mentioned dio passing away, and the moderator said stuff like "he was known for replacing Ozzy in Black Sabbath, and before he sang in Rainbow, therefor in memoriam, here is some Dio and Rainbow for you!" - and he plays "Since you've been gone". :noplease:
Sad, isnt it? One should think if he is mentioning it he could at least have done a BIT of a research.
