HEADBANGERS BALL
HEADBANGERS BALL is a music television program which consist of Heavy metal music videos airing on MTV.
"The Ball," as it is commonly called, replaced Heavy Metal Mania (which began airing monthly in June 1985), helmed by Dee Snider of Twisted Sister fame. In doing so, MTV expanded the format and added more live interviews with bands. At its premiere it was hosted briefly by Kevin Seal, then by VJ Adam Curry, before ultimately settling on Riki Rachtman, who to many viewers became the most identifiable host of the show; although some viewers were upset that Curry was replaced by Rachtman, fans of the heavier bands in the genres were equally as happy to have a host that represented both it and them better than Curry, who was seen as a fan and representation of glam metal (also called "hair metal").
Most fun part is the artist drive all around the world along with his band and his crew. Memorable road trip episodes include Alice in Chains' trip to Action Water Park, skydiving with Megadeth, Oktoberfest in Munich with Danzig, and Van Halen's adventure at Cabo Wabo.
