**Grunge killed the best show on MTV. Where else could you see a video by Motorhead followed by a video from Britney Fox. Those flannel bastards took all the fun out of stumbling home drunk on a Saturday night and seeing Rikki Rachtman interview a beligerant Ozzy Osbourne then play a Faster Pussycat video. The last time MTV played a video where the artist was old enough to grow pubes was this show, We must salute it!
**Never jumped. Rikki was kind of a goofball, but he wasn't all that important to the show anyway. It was the videos that carried the show. Does anyone at MTV remember VIDEOS?
**HB clearly died when they put Pearl Jam on there & called it metal. Although we all knew it was going to be down-hill when they took the kung-fu clips off. I AM BEING SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK WHEN IS SAY THIS: I threw my TV out the window when the ball went off the air & I haven't had one since.

Kinda interesting stuff. I like a world when Helloween and Savatage videos were on Saturday nights!! Very Happy

Any thoughts??
