RUSH On 'That Metal Show'; Preview Clip Available

December 21, 2008

VH1 Classic's new metal-themed talk show co-hosted by Eddie Trunk, "That Metal Show", premiered November 15. RUSH's Geddy Lee (bass, vocals) and Alex Lifeson (guitar) were interviewed for the program back in October and the interview will air next Saturday, December 27.

VH1 Classic recently made a 41-second video preview available on its web site. The preview shows an exchange between the hosts and Geddy talking about how Geddy checks baseball scores during intermission at the band's shows. Click here to view.

"That Metal Show" features hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine ("Crank Yankers", "Inside the NFL", "Meet The Creeps") and Don Jamieson ("Inside The NFL", "Dice Undisputed", "Meet The Creeps") discussing the latest rock news, share stories and arguing about their favorite bands. Each week they are joined by special guests who weigh in with their opinions and offer their own unique viewpoints to each episode. Eddie Trunk also takes on the metal maniacs in the studio audience in the "Stump the Trunk" metal trivia contest. If the audience can stump Eddie, they win a metal-worthy prize.
