Commented "That Metal Show" co-host Eddie Trunk "We did shoot 10 all-new shows. However, VH1 Classic is only showing eight of them for this next run. The episodes with David Draiman [DISTURBED] and ADRENALINE MOB and Bobby Blotzer and L.A. GUNSwill air, but they will now be included with Season 11 and should debut sometime this summer. This was a network decision I have no control over. But they will air, just at a slightly later date. Also Jason Newsted [METALLICA, VOIVOD, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM] canceled at the last minute, so he has not yet done a show with us as planned."
