Hurrah, I can now skim through about 90 channels of crap...but I digress.
I saw something called "Kerrang: Life is Loud", which is basically The Box for angry teens in combat trousers.
Good stuff, I can catch up rock videos I've not seen since Headbangers Ball used to be on Sunday nights with Vanessa Warwick.
Unfortunately, they only seem to actually have about 3 videos.
Disturbed - what appears to be a bunch of gay men in S&M gear being emo
Slipknot - "Bleurgh Devil Blah Blah", they jump about a lot
Avril Levigne - "Why dont I have boobs, Grrrrrrr"
No Tool, no Clutch, rarely Nirvana, no Prong, no Helmet, no Slayer.
I felt like an old rocker.
(and Helmet are cheddar, btw. :P)
Oh and by the way, if any of you

Nay way! Soulfly are just mindless shouting, Pantera are alright at best, Slayer are a bit pointless and Metallica are...quite good.
MTV2 is far better than Kerrang, because basically Kerrang play Avril Lavigne. Which I've never seen on MTV2, so it automatically wins. And Liam lynch gets more plays on MTV2.
NO channels play Clutch, Helmet etc - however Tool appears on both channels in spells, ie quite a lot for about a month, then nothing.
Also both channels mimic each other, eg if Kerrang put an old-ish video on then it starts to appear more on MTV2. I'm sure.
