so they want 1999 back

Why would MTV want anything to do with these groups? It's not like it's a music channel or anything.

White Stripes- I would go see em. I would also like to tour Meg White's tits.

They want them all to live in a fancy house?

Work together and have their lives taped... to find out what happens... when people stop being polite... and start getting real?

I saw Velvet Revolver in 2007, and they rocked the fark out. That was when they had Scott, of course.

//Saw STP last year, even better.

Hmm, they claim Blur went on hiatus in 1999 and need to reunite. Are they forgetting Think Tank? Or was it just that bad that they pretend it never existed?

/Also, Minutes to Midnight came out in 2007, not 2006.

MTV is iRRELEVANT.

who watches MTV anymore?

this outta be a damn good discussion

The world's wishlist:

1) For MTV to go away, and die and take The Hills, Parental Control, Made, etc with it.
2) World peace
3) That's pretty much it

I'd like to see GNR, Velvet Revolver, and especially The White Stripes.

But screw even them, Rush better start recording again.

I can dig Blink and No Doubt, and Linkin Park even has a couple of listenable songs. However, Velvet Revolver was just abhorrent.

I enjoy Linkin Park and Blink 182...

Close enough I guess.

Only 2009 release worth caring about (so far).

MTV is the myspace of cable television.

I like how they lump together RATM and No Doubt together as "heavy weights." I'm sure RATM would love that.

There's still MTV?

what blows my mind is that people watch mtv...who the fark are these people...they did one thing right along time ago and made mtvx, all metal vids, the one day the dikheads change their mind and turn it off without telling everyone who is paying for it...
hey mtv
GO fark YOURSELF

meh, more next is fine with me. or real world/ road rules challenge. makes me feel better as a human being

Wait, MTV actually follows music? I am shocked, SHOCKED at this development!

/Apparently not since 1999.
//Damn it MTV, take a look into the indie scene.

And later on, on the drive home, I called her mom from a pay phone, I said I was the cops, and your husband's in jail, the state looks down on sodomy.

Even better when Richard Cheese performs it.

No. Please don't.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Jesus Christ. MTV hasn't been musically relevant in a generation, but even subby's mom is over the bands listed, and we all know how old she is.

On a more serious note, the uncool free broadcast TV networks and their lame scripted shows are breaking more bands these days than the one with MUSIC in its name. Unless you count iPod and Mitsubishi commercials, MTV hasn't been in the new music business for a very long time.

Of course, now they don't really have to since they acquired Myspace, which has turned into the de facto source of A&R research for the companies that are trying to figure out what to shove down your throats next.

Fans of music aren't looking to them for fresh sounds either... go figure

I remember a time when MTV was awesome. Good rock videos, 120 Minutes, Headbanger's Ball, Alternative Nation, Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, reruns of Speed Racer at 1AM and some techno show that played on Saturday nights (the name escapes me at the moment).

What happened?

Amp, which was the visual equivalent of the graphic equalizer on your WMP.

Someone has to know the answer to this.

I'd add Yo! MTV Raps to that list too.

No thread about MTV is complete without...

thursday and glassjaw come out with new albums this year. good enough for me

blur, at cochella you say. Not bloody likely, but I'd travel across country to see it.

Bob Wood_National Program Director: Only 2009 release worth caring about (so far).

I don't have a clue what group or album that could possibly be.

Maybe it's a Magic Eye puzzle? I love those things!

I dont' want my MTV!

Its the new Animal Collective album, big reviews on the old pitchfork media, not such big reviews from me...
