for those of you that don't know, this is just another dumb reality show. only, it's band members and they can win a spot on Ozzfest if they win.

reality show = stupid. so I don't watch but being a metal head, I have caught a few minutes while fliping through the channels. this last episode the people had to bite the heads off live bats. I didn't watch but did catch the end of the show and it had some text that said something along these lines..."
sharon and ozzy love animals and would never hurt them..."

I thought it was funny that they said that, but still showed/had the people chomp the bats heads off. kind of hippycritical isn't it?

Yeah I've caught the show a few times. The only band on there that seems decent is A Dozen Furies, everyone else seems like a joke. Especially "Sicks Deep" At least from whatever live footage I've seen of A Dozen Furies, they seem to have really good energy and their music sounds better. But what do I know? I've only seen bits and pieces of episodes.

I don't think they play during the episodes do they? I saw the first one, and thought the show would be about metal bands, but it turns out it's a reality show just like any other dumb reality show.

the few times i've come across it after seeing the first one, they didn't play any music, they were on a bus or something. standing around talking or something but not playing music.

I think it was during the first episode or something where they have a little blurb about each band.

I really think the show should focus on their music and how they perform live. So far it seems like they're just gonna do silly tasks, and then the winner's band gets to go on, regardless if the band is actually good or not.

yes, that is what reality shows are all about. do a bunch of dumb stuff and then someone wins.

I guess we can assume that the bands are 'good' or they wouldn't be where they are. (on a stupid reality show, biting bats heads off.).

<sigh> I wonder if they have a self-help program for those that watch and enjoy reality TV but then claim to hate it on public forums.............

Seriously - turn off the TV.

Are you kidding me? Did you really think that they actually had these morons bite the heads off of bats? If you had watched a few minutes before where you came in you would have seen that they were blindfolded and were biting a hotdog with a keewee fruit on the end (with a bunch of fake blood). There is no way they would ever get away with the live bat stunt. It's also noteworthy that Sharon scolded them for the fact that none of them (including the vegitarian) refused to do it.

As far as this show goes. I find the stupidity of the cast members to be quite entertaining. Desperate musicians make me sick. If your band is good, you should get a shot. I could simplify this whole thing for them by eliminating bands based on talent. That would narrow it down really quickly. Sharon and Ozzy are using the show to eventually hype up a band that they will cash in on. If they had watched the VH1 equivalent of this show they would have realized that it doesn't work. A buddy of mine saw the winning band from that show and said they were actually damn good. You know where they're playing? Small clubs still. Shows like this don't gain the band any credibility because they're made to look like fools.

see SkaredShtles , if I really did watch the show I would know what Lex knows. I happend to be flipping through the channels. mtv and mtv 2 play this show back to back, so in an hours time one can catch alot of the crap by just flipping across the dial.

and no, I will never turn off the tv!
what would I do if I did?

They're all choads. Someone should bite their heads off.

Disclaimer: I've only seen ads for it.

On a side note, has anyone seen the ads for "Date My Mom" on MTV. Wow, it's not good when FOX passes on a show because it's a horrible concept.
