Everytime I turn on channel V I see some girls shake there ass in skanky outfits and some black guy singing shit.

 

[emperor]

Unfortunately I don't.....it's been shit for so long

"It's all about the music"

LOL.. yeah, they have so much crappy TV shows like MTV and when there is music it's mainly shit.

 

[patsmith]

I remember when it was less shit, but that's about it.

 

[Crissy_v]

yeah V used to be the sh**, now its just sh**

 

[lookkg386]

I remember when it was less shit, but that's about it.

 

[SpRiGgZy]

i remember in 97' or 98' i use to put it on most days.
until they stopped giving a **** about playing music anymore and they got talentless dickfaces to host their pissy one hour live show thats not even live anymore.

 

[viccles]

It sure has turned crap. Sad, once used to be a great music channel.

 

[Fwoy]

I blame James and Yumi...are thy still there? Bring back Jabba and the Joint.

 

[The Dice Man]

Sorry Fwoy, but since 2001(I never saw V before then (which was really a blessing when I consider...)) Ive never seen anything worthwhile on V... Actually strike my bracketted speech impediment.. From late 1998 there's been nothing good on V, or its equivelent.


V Rots your teeth and gives you brain damage.

I watch far more VH1 than I do MTV or V because VH1 actually plays some music. The other two "music" channels rarely actually play music.

 

[raskolnikov]

I much prefer Music Max, mostly because I am an 80s fan and that's all they seem to play.

 

[Embers]

I was like 15 and still in high school. Eek

 

[PHX]

hmmmmmmmmmmf.

Remember when the BDO showcase went all weekend!

They were the good times.

This year all I saw were Jet and MCR and the ****er couldnt sing anyway.

How do you know if you never saw it until 2001?

I had pay TV for a while back in '97 (was pretty young) and remember seeing artists like No Doubt, The Wannadies (You and Me Song), Cake, Daft Punk, Hanson, The Prodigy, Silverchair, Ammonia on there. (I recently found a VHS of stuff that was taped off the channel, good memories )

I think it could be that the standard of pop music has gone down, rather than it being V's fault.

I first got Foxtel when AFL started on it (moving over from Optus) some time mid-late ninties from memory. The one and only show worth watching was The Joint, but that alone made V good. Live performances by good bands.

Much like Triple J, they moved in a direction my tastes don't follow. Still dream for the days of MTV2 or whatever it is that has decent clips and no egos taking over...why can't Rage go all week?

 

[PHX]

Apparently MTV2 is getting taken over by TV shows and hosts as well now so no win.

At least that [V]2 thingo is all music, but it's a lucky dip to switch on for a run of good music.

Max ftw.
