For eight years, it was the loudest show on TV. A lone beacon in the cable wilderness where rock gods weren't just respected... they were worshipped. It was the only place on television where millions of metal fans could find a home, a community, and a voice. For 14 seasons and 125 episodes, it was a genuine cultural phenomenon. And then, on January 19th, 2016, it all went silent. VH1, the very network that built it, suddenly pulled the plug, leaving legions of devoted fans and the show's hosts wondering… what the hell just happened? This is the story of how three guys just talking about their favorite bands started a movement, and why the institution they built was suddenly wiped from the airwaves. This is the Rise and Death of *That Metal Show* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Metal_Show).
