This looks like a very stacked season. The guests that really stand out to me are Steve Riley and Jack Russell. If anyone watched the last season of That Metal Show, you remember when Tracii Guns went on a very pissed off rant about Steve being a crook. Jack Russell,talk about someone who in the last decade has dealt with so much, from the club fire to now there being two Great White bands. Plus, Trunk where is Kory Clarke??? Angela Glasgow?? Billy Milano?? Devin Townsend?? Ginger from The Wildhearts?? Eric Wagoner?? Jon Oliva?? There are so many that need to be on this show..

    Larry, sorry it took so long to respond but good news those episodes are going to be the first two new episodes of this season. VH1 made Eddie cut back on the schedual a little. So, they had to trim the season by 3 shows. I am a huge Trower fan, but the new season schedual is up and Robin is not on. Though, if you go to VH1classic.com/thatmetalshow they have this forum where you can get on the TMS blog and ask for suggestions for guests which they have read on the air many times. I do know this season they will have Geoff Tate come on, and Heart, and basically almost all the same old guests. I know right now the world has bugged Eddie about Randy Blythe coming on. And Glen Benton is all over FB begging TMS to have him on…so I hope the next season after this upcoming one is a little better…
