Sorry No Poll

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Kerrang and p-rock are practically the same channel with that life is loud show.. they all play too much nu-metal for my liking

Yup... I've got my own little collection of 198 videos. All I can safely say are ****ing class!

Usually flick between them all including VH1 Classic Rock (which is now later than before :mad: ) Some of the radio channels get an occasional flick through also, and the odd time I might go to the effort of browsing Music Choice.

Looking forward to the launch of Sky's channels, Scuzz and The Amp.

Yup, well I flick too but it usually comes down to MTV2 I reckon.

usally kerrang if i can!!!!

AdMMM

I find myself listening to MTV2 the most... Sometimes I flick through the radio stations, but I pretty much hate Kerrang for it's ad's....

Sarky

They all suck for the most part. I'll happily watch VH1 rock much more than the others, but Kerrang! seems to have maybe one or two decent tunes a day...

Better off with WinAmp on continuous shuffle and doing something constructive than cabbaging on the sofa with the remote...

I think Kerrapp should change its tagline from:

"we cant stop it, every video on kerrang tv is picked by you.."

to

"we cant stop it, every video on kerrapp tv is picked by 14 yr old slipknot fans running up their parents phonebills, meaning the same 5 videos are always shown"


ever notice that if you watch any of those stations for 3 hours solid, you get the entire days programming? they just repeat the same block of videos!

its like the atlantic 252 of tv

Kerrang! did have great Rammstein live tracks on their playlists some time ago. Excellent stuff, though dont think they're on the playlists any more

They have!! I saw live version of sonne just last week :P

Gringo

Yeah they're all ok, all have good and bad points usually flick between the 3! Mtv cane be good except when zane is on and they play that cr*p stuff!

Placebo

zane is an asslicker , gonzo is the worst program ever , "hey look at me , i am zane , i will make personal jokes with the camera man and pretend viewers find it funny" only reason i watch it some times is cause he has some info on bands but then sometimes he just turns the info into a joke , so u never know whats going on .
Kerrang is ok , p rock is Punk , so i wouldnt know .

i like Gonzo on the odd occasion that i get to see it

wonder what Sky's new rock channel will be like. it launches on Thursday

I'd say that it'll end up like Kerrang!

To many ad's
To many nu-metal tracks

But what good it might have:

P-Rock and Kerrang both suffer from having set play lists that change far too little and are much too limited. MTV2 scores points for its ability (underused though it may be) to throw up a surprise for you. I constantly flick between the 3 in an effort to catch a good tune.

The ranking is:

1) MTV2. It's not perfect, and I must say I preferred the old format with Live music from 2-3 every day, plus those hours where the music was picked by featured bands. Least you got to see "Three Libras" or "The Cedar Room" a bit then.

2) P-Rock. Because I'm not that familiar with punk in general and it has novelty appeal...oh and the fact that it has kept The Atari's "Summer Wind" on rotation for a good while.

3) Kerrang. It blows. Have they stopped showing that guy who wants to be a troll yet?

I would have to say MTV2, the only channel that doesn't play Avril Lavigne

Indeed.

herbie747

Definately MTV2.

"VH1 Classic" is a great channel: the classic rock show is excellent.
It's a good place to get away from that nu-metal sh*te too.

Kerrang play The Calling though...RAAAAAAWWWK!!!!

Samara

I don't have any of them anymore since I moved house, I have VH1, MTV and The box

I used to like Kerrang, but was highly disgusted when I first saw Avril Lavigne on it and right after Rammstein too!! Although I still miss it compared to what I have now!!

All those channels play the same songs over and over!! At least MTV2 sometimes air gigs etc. Is it my imagination or do they all seem to be moving towards lighter stuff?? Once upon a time you could tune in to some proper metal and rock, now I think myself lucky to catch a few. Flicking is the only way to go, either that or stick to cds!!

Sauron

it's either mtv2 or flicking for me. mtv2 seems to have a bit more variety. It does really have to be flicking because each channel has it's weaknesses and no one channel is gonna satisfy someone.
