ok i thought i would make a topic about this, because i know alot of people have a problem with this. ive been in england the past couple of days, and at alton towers, waiting for some rides there are t.v's, and it was playing mtv2, so i thought i would take a look, to my shock, it was playing beyonce and sean paul, and at the bottom it said 'POP', i was like, wtf, in scotland mtv2 is an alt rock channel, and as for MTV itself, they have sold out to advertising, the main channel shows about 2 videos an hour, and is mostly programmes like 'real world' and 'the osbournes' which frankly i think suck, i think mtv should change back to the old days, of MUSIC TELEVISION, they should just change their freakin name :angry:
Sometimes MTV2 plays 'rap' or 'hip-hop' songs. I think this is because some skaters like 'rap' and 'hip-hop' But I watch Kerrang! so, meh...
i only have Mtv, and it plays well music Limpbizkit, Linkin Park, now and then 50... its okey with me
WORD! I know exactly what you mean....In Canada we have Muchmusic, and its going the same way: A flood of hip-hop, pop, rap, and a bit mainstream rock, but too many shows like MTV has hasn't come YET. But I just wish they played a bit more rock and a lot less rap! At least there's LOUD (lots of non-mainstream metal acts) on some nights!
MTV sucks...unfortunealy I listen to Music Choice on my digital cable...ok that and Headbanger's Ball on MTV 2
Strange. MTV2 UK only broadcasts rock videos. I've never seen a single pop or R'n'B video on it. They usually show Gonzo, the NME Chart Show and live concerts from various bands. They even did a one-week Linkin Park special once. I like MTV2 UK cause it actually shows a lot of videos compared to MTV so maybe you were looking at a different MTV2. Still, I agree with you about MTV! They hardly play music videos anymore which is ironic considering that MTV stands for MUSIC Television. Anyways, if you're in the UK and you have Sky, you won't be watching MTV at all. Kerrang! and Scuzz have rock videos 24/7. They're the two best rock channels here...probably the only ones worth watching.:wth:
MTV is pathetic. MTV never shows music, when they do it's rap. MTV2 shows music quite often, but about 23 hours a day is rap, and an hour is rock, typically in the middle of the night when noone's awake. They have commercials every 2 songs that last a good 5 minutes, and the worst of all, they censor the videos like crazy. Any mention of anything negative gets censored. Pathetic.
It's ok when they play nu metal and that kinda stuff.... and I don't have mtv2 .....so I don't care....
I dunno about other countries, but in the USA MTV2 is mostly rap and hip-hop....They do have MTV2 Rock, All Things Rock, and Headbanger's Ball, but these are quickly being pushed aside for MTV2 Hip-Hop, The Hip-Hop Show, Monster Mix, Direct Effect and a few others. But, never fear! We also have Fuse (formerly MMUSA), which is %90 rock!
