ACE FREHLEY, RUSH's Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee To Guest On VH1 CLASSIC's 'That Metal Show'

October 10, 2008

Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley and RUSH's Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee will appear on "That Metal Show", VH1 Classic's new half-hour series hosted by Eddie Trunk and comedians Jim Florentine ("The Howard Stern Show", "Crank Yankers", "Meet The Creeps") and Don Jamieson ("Inside The NFL", "Dice Undisputed", "Meet The Creeps"). According to a press release, "That Metal Show" is a thirty-minute roundtable talk show where legends of rock hang out and discuss their past and current projects, all the while interacting with the metal maniacs that make up our studio audience. Some describe the series as "Headbanger's Ball" meets "The Man Show", although the people behind the program like to say "That Metal Show" is the only on-air destination for the greatest genre of music ever created.

Commented Trunk: "I am so happy with how things are going with this show and have my good friends Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson as co-hosts. The ball-busting that goes on is awesome and many in the audience and crew at the tapings so far say they have never seen a show like this before. Even those not into metal seem to be loving it. I've been working on developing this for almost two years, and now that it's real and we are close to debuting the first show, it's really getting exciting!"

Regarding Lifeson and Lee's upcoming appearance on the program, Trunk said, "I am honored to say that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of RUSH will be coming in from Canada just to do the show! I've had the privilege of working with the RUSH guys several times, and I can not thank them enough for making the effort to do the show. Needless to say this will be a HUGE one."

"That Metal Show" will premier on November 15 at 11:00 p.m. EST/PST on VH1 Classic and will repeat several times through the week. A new episode will air every week thereafter on Saturday nights at 11:00 p.m.
