I while back I decided to start working on a web-series for gamers called "VGAM" or "Video Games Are Metal". It would have game walkthroughs & guides, reviews, developer interviews, and achievement & trophy guides for the 360, PS3, and WoW. The series is still quite young but I am still in need of people to help me out (mostly co-hosts). Once everything is ready, the series would either be posted on YouTube, Vimeo, and/or BlogTV as a live video podcast. Don't worry my friends I'll keep you up-to-date with the info of my upcoming web-series. Until my next blog...

Needs more metal. Will there be metal? I'm working on something very similar as you are. I'm lacking resources however. Such as a video camera. Now are you seriously considering this to be a live show? Because pre-recorded and live are two different ball games. Doing a live show requires a lot more equipment. Or so I've been told.

@Corpsegrinder: oh yeah!!! there will definitely be a crap load of metal, and my plan was to start off as a podcast with game interviews and reviews, then work my way up to video. whenever it gets to video I would also like to have guest metal bands to put on a show at the end of each episode.

Now that's some good thinking. But getting a band to do a live show can probably prove pretty difficult. The only shows that come to mind that can actually do that are late night shows and The Henry Rollins show. I see what you're gunning for. That's pretty awesome. Kudos to you!

@Corpsegrinder: thanks, I knew that it would be very difficult to get live bands, but I'm sure underground (upcoming) metal bands would be more than happy to do a show or two. But I can dream for bands like Ozzy or Metallica to do shows, but that won't happen. lol

As a huge metal enthusiast, this sounds like a terrible show, and the name is fucking stupid. I'm sorry, just being honest. Use that name if you want to perpetuate the image that all metal fans are 14 year-olds with angst issues and who adore Slipknot and Korn.

@Napalm: I understand your opinion and respect it. but I assure you I'm not 14 (I'm actually 24) and a huge fan of black metal and folk metal, bands like Burzum, Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Dimmu Borgir, Finntroll, Amon Amarth, the list goes on. and for the record, what made you think we were into korn and slipknot?

@Fenrir085: It's a bad idea to name your show "Videogames Are Metal" is what concerns me. As a metal enthusiast, I'd stay away from your show if it was named that. I'd pick something more neutral, or do some more word ideation and come up with a better name.

@Napalm: thank you for the advice, I guess the name is kinda crappy, but its all I could think of at the time. I'm sure I would come up with a better name in the future.

Names are usually one of the hardest things to come up with. Just like naming a band.

Indeed. I'm just trying to get him to stay away from the whole, "YEAH, METAL BRO! CRUSH AND KILL, MAN. METAL!" attitude.

Well Nails (guessing you were asking that) is an Entombed-sounding/hardcore punk band from Los Angeles. Sort of new (2008) and released their second EP, Unsilent Death. No MySpace though.

Nails is more metal dominant; aligns more with their early Swedish death metal influences. There are a lot of other great scenes out there though.

That kind of attitude is for the Tapout and Metal Mulisha kiddies with giant lifted trucks. We refer to them as bros over here (West Coast).  I find them to be a disease.
 
On another note keep an eye out for the new Nevermore and Keep of Kalessin album.
