Earlier someone mentioned Venga Boys - Boom x4 - Well it's on MTV Classic now - can't say I know the difference as I don't watch it so close.

That was I! - aah so thats where they are appearing GREAT! - whilst I am stuck with z list trash of VH1

well its past watershed so they should be playing the X Rated version or are they in Safe Mode

I sometimes don't realise something is sampled, although Alice Deejay is fairly blatant!

Aviici's version (or song of the same name) is pretty cheesy. The music is ok but the vocals make it more cheesy. I think it's Aloe Blacc, but the music stations don't actually credit him.

I don't even touch Viva most days. MTV Live is the same now. Classic keeps MTV alive for me.

I couldn't tell you the difference as I didn't know there was one - I don't view it that closely.

It's on Class of 99 which is a general program that can be played any time of day, so I imagine it's the clean edit.

Neither do I but if I recognise it or sounds familar I will say ie David Guetta song or as unknown posted up Pro Green new one (which comes across as another song again could be wrong on that one!)

I have heard of Aloe Blacc "I Need a Dollar" (prefer the dance remix of that) - but as far as Chris Brown and his noise like most of the artists that do "dance" they must be tone deaf and it ain't music it is noise!

as with channels Viva - avoid - MTV Live - drop by MTV Dance - drop by (pending who is on) Hits - don't touch Music - (again what is this channel??) VH1 - drop by Base (same as Dance) but other than I just find them that s..t! there is nothing being catered for anyone older but you got to be a teeny bopper to fit the criteria with this lot! as mentioned Vintage - I feel more suited too!

AAH .... and this programme was made by/for VH1 , well well ... expect the Mark Owen show to appear there in a year or so!

I thought I was right about year

Or Flo Rida :yawn:

Chris Brown should be a drummer. He likes beating things :yawn: Can't stand his music, but that boy who goes "Hey, it's Chris Brown" makes me laugh.

I would drop MTV, but it saves a fiver - not worth it. You never know.....I live in hope...

Flo-Rida at start was half decent but he has joined that lot for "dance" friggin hate it now .... just hurry and get back to your roots as its more of a turn off with me maybe when 50 Cent returns (not a fan of his) maybe we can get back into "REALity" with music?? Personally I couldn't care if its crap but if its a return to things musically (ie mix of all music I am all for it) but if its the same crap everyday ... god help me!!

I would drop the whole lot being honest - pity I would rather keep Vintage if anything the rest can f..k off!

Mark Owen show has already been on classic :sleep:

1999 it was. Vintage year.

It's about sales and money, sadly.

I would, but I think my kids would cause a stink when they go to their rooms and i've got rid of it

Thats true

Just tell them MTV is not part of life .... I am part of life I can tell you more right than wrong than these people at MTV

This genuinely made me laugh.

Oh bloomin hell already been on Classic - throwing programmes around - thats the MTV way

1999 - that was a great year musically - I think when we actually hit 2001 that was the beginning of the downfall (and that is even when I lost interest in the charts!)

They don't watch these reality tv nonsense on MTV, don't worry.


I aim to please....occasionally

They like to share.

MTV Dance and Classic have shared the 90's show with the chap from The Shamen. I think even Viva had it.

I can't recall when the start of the downfall was for me. Maybe 2006? When did downloads come in? 2005? I think it was ok for a couple of years and then it went a bit wrong. Maybe 2006/2007.

Thats true

So in other words an MTV "original" show that is thrown to pilla to post, next it'll accidentally appear on VH1/MTV Base .. possibly BET??

I can't remember when downloads came in to play I thought it was later I could be wrong!

Thats good

I wonder if the drum was big or small?? mind you this was the Chris Brown/Rihanna remake of Debbie Does Dallas that went well.....tits up

I've never looked at BET. Not really into it.

I think downloads were 2005....Yes April 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4433071.stm


Thought you'd approve

I don't even want to entertain the thought of them in a re-make of that

Neither have I just got it recently ... yes how long has it been on SKY

April 2005? wow didnt think that long ago!

LOL - well we knew what happened

I don't know what you get on VM. Sky has loads of channels and I personally use the music channels and I watch some sport and documentaries, so aside Music I use about 10 channels? The family don't use much more. How many channels has VM got?

Yes, it was 8 years ago - but it's only started buggering up the charts in the last 3 or 4?

Oh the days, my much younger days

"music" channels on VM - all MTV channels apart from classic
VH1 - Bauer channels and Vintage thats the range

I know the old days!

No Chart Show channels?

Old days were the best!

Nope - no chart show channels (wonder if they'll be phased in over time) ie look at MTV Music and BET are now on


Couldnt agree more - the "old" days where it was and felt more "interactive" with the channels and where I believe it did not get as bad as it is now - hell if I am being honest 90's was fun now its just dreary

It would give you more options. You'd get to see your Aqua on Vault

Do you (or anyone) remember when they had MTV Flux - they tried making that interactive but gave up after a few months (well 17 months according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Flux )

Planet Pop just surprised me - they played The Cube Guys feat Luciana - an old song from a couple of years ago. It must be being re-released.

You guys were talking about MTV Classic, Well it looks rubbish with this line-up:

20:00: Party Like It's 2006
21:00: Party Like It's 2007
22:00: Summer Festival Anthems: Top 20
