That Metal Show: Season 6 information revealed

According to Blabbermouth, That Metal Show will start filming for its sixth season. Like the previous season, the show will be filmed in Los Angeles. That Metal Show is a talk-show on VH1 Classic that is hosted by Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jamieson. This is no ordinary talk-show: the hosts, along with the week's special guest, will talked about nothing but hard rock and heavy metal. The show started in 2008 and has featured some of the biggest names in metal. The only change in the show known so far is the length, which has been expanded to an hour instead of 30 minutes. The first episode of this season will be a special tribute to Ronnie James Dio, who passed on May 16 from stomach cancer. According to Blabbermouth, the guests for this episode will include:

Vinny Appice (drummer of Black Sabbath, Dio, and Heaven & Hell)

I'm a fan of That Metal Show. I particularly like the segment Stump the Trunk, where the audience asks Eddie Trunk questions about hard rock and heavy metal. Most of the time, I get them right and love how it tests my knowledge in the genres. The guest line up looks great. I'm looking most forward to Frankie Banali.
