    no at that time it would be too late, they should try and rearrange schedules and do the shows in the early evening after heavy traffic or something. but once again thats easy for me to say and not easy for them to do

    Exactly! Plus if it was advertised to have metal shows on the air. Phamtom FM would attract a huge audience.

    Heres some suggestions...
    Thrash Metal: Metallica (83-88), Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Sepultura (87 - 96).

    Hardcore Metal: Pantera, Fear Factory (mainly Demanufacture), Machine Head (first two albums), Soulfly, Biohazard.

    Power Metal: Iced Earth, Iron Maiuden, HammerFall.

    Stoner Metal: Black Label Society, Down etc.

    Melodic Death Metal: In Flames, At The Gates, Carcass.

    Death Metal: Morbid Angel, Crytopsy, Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Obituary, Six Feet Under, Hellhammer.

    Doom Metal: Opeth, My Dying Bride, Mael Mordha...

    Black Metal: Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Immortal, COF etc.

    I don't even like some of these bands but I do know that alot of people do like em and they would be very proud to have a proper metal show on the Radio in Ireland. Alot of these bands mixed in with older bands such as Led Zepplin, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc. would be appreciated by all age groups.

    don't you think we could do with getting away from some of the more 'mainstream' metal bands though.....have a bit more variety?

    there are ****loads more metal bands that are out there that are unknown, and probably, dare i even think it, better than the above-mentioned ones......

    that's my problem with the metal show on Thursday nights....far too much 'mainstream' stuff, you rarely get to hear something new.......though in fairness it is also down to the people who text in..grrrr, if i could get my hands on them!

    Theres always place for the less known bands in there. I'm just mentioning the bands that don't get enough airplay. Sure theres more metal bands out there that don't get enough credit for their talents for example I think the Prog. Metal band Dream Theater don't get near enough credit. They are one of the most talented bands in any genre. I'd love to hear them on air.

    The Metal Show is between 9 and 11 / 12 ish on Thursdays....
    Fairly 'mainstream' stuff such as Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head, Deftones, Cradle of Filth, Cannible Corpse.......:rolleyes:

    I dunno why they don't advertise it, I suppose it's cos it's been there for so long it's considered to be established, so to speak.

    As for the pubs and clubs....I wouldn't know about that....:(

    Yes indeed, although Phantom deserves credit for the play they do give

    there are lots of rubbish bands from everywhere that has nothing to do with the fact that there are loads of good ones that could benefit from some exposure ( and that the general public could benefit from being exposed to)

    Xfm does, there's one specialist electronic show (Chillage Idiots, not sure of the time/day, check the XFM board), and a lot of the other DJs pepper their playlists with the bit of the aul' bleep and bloop.

    The Chillage Idiots kind of scare me! I'm sure they are sound lads but sometimes I get so intimidated listening to them! They are brutally honest though which is very admirable. I had to laugh, they played Boards of Canada a while back and made it clear in no uncertain terms what they thought of them. ( Hugely overrated as it happens)
    I wouldn't be a big fan of the Electronic stuff due to a total lack of patience on my part but this is a pretty interesting show despite the terror and intimidation. It used to go out on Sunday evenings from 7.00 to 10.00 or thereabouts....

    ok, 1st of all everyone slap me on the back for coming up witha thread that keeps every1 occupied for a while. ow, not that hard. no really, i think the pumpkins do get plenty of airplay but u can never have TOO MUCH PUMPKINS!
    geekstinkbreath, HEER HEER phantom (not ph, thats really annoying) needs a punk show (and how i wish i could present it... but i can't).
    everybody wanting more metal: who woulda thought there'd be that many sub genres of metal?
    yeh roxy's right, zepperlin get planty of play.

    here this goes for everyone who really, really wnants a certain band played: if ur that desparate BUY THE CD!

    (unless its some band that only have a demo or something, but even still; you have to have some kind of connetions.)

    i odnt think the smashing pumpkins are all they're cracked up to be
    melon collie may have some good songs on it but it also has a lot of ****e on it too (im going to cause a huge big ruccus by saying this amn't i)
    i think theyre one of the few bands that can make a simple song sound great but when they get it wrong, boy do they get it wrong (and painful)

    Ok Roxy u were singleing me out there when you made that point. i dont have my ears guled to the radio and i never get to listen to thursday challange because im always in college. maybe u have time to listen to them but i dont. Zepplin are one of my favorite bands and i never hear them on any of the shows that i listen to. Dont ever single out on person. And early metallica would edo nicely and the Revs- more irish unsinged/singed bands!

    Y'all knew I was going to turn up here sooner or later;)
    I've been trying to get Phantom (Who rock, by the why. Might a well suck up) to play some music by a band called Four Star Mary for months now, with no luck. Please will you guys play them some more.
    Thanks always

    jeez boy I was responding to your statement and trying in my own quaint way to rectify the inaccuracy attached. It was solely your statement I was dealing with so how the hell else am I going to broach it??

    I welcome suggestions!! coz roxy is stumped as stumped can be!
