Guest Doomsault Report post Posted June 27, 2002 Okay, this is probably something that's been talked about before but it just hit me a few days ago, I was flipping channels around and I hit MTV, they were playing that new Pink video wich sucks but okay, I flipped it back about ten mintues later and saw the same video and thought, that's wierd, two hours later, same fucking video! Screw it I said. Starting watching again about one in the morning waiting for the Dirty Vegas video, saw the video two more times before two o'clock. Why god why?! VH1 has the same problem with that Soak Up the Sun Cheryl Crow video. Feel free to comment on my whining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted June 27, 2002 MTV2 played the new chili peppers 'by the way' on a FUCKING 24 HOUR LOOP. I like em, but i never want to heard that song again. And 'movies' by alien ant farm, i hated it the first time, now i'm pushing for a law to stop such indistinguishable vanilla shite bands ever to record.

Guest caboose Report post Posted June 27, 2002 Here in England, MTV2 looped Korn's 'Here To Stay' for 6 hours one week. The following week they looped Sum 41's 'What were all about' for 6 hours. MTV2's explanation was that the nights when the videos were looped were Korn and Sum41 nights. Fucking bullshit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted June 27, 2002 Probably the average people who don't know jack shit about music doesn't care, because they are the ones who are buying the CD's. eMpTyV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted June 27, 2002 I think that's the MTV definition of "heavy rotation," and one that a lot of top 40 type stations use as well. If the song plays every two hours, that's Heavy Rotation. Which, uh, sucks. Course, the majority of videos in current rotation, period, are pretty poor, so I'll just stick to slapping in CDs and closing my eyes for the same effect.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted June 27, 2002 Repetition equals record sales. It's a proven formula. The general record-buying public will buy anything if they hear the single often enough. So if the brass at MTV see a video that they feel will be successful, they'll shove it down their viewers' throats for a few months. That's just the nature of the beast.

Funny story about Alien Ant Farm (no, not the bus accident, which is sad because you never want see that happen).... The story is that they got pelted with snowcones last year at Warped Tour here in Dallas.

Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Speaking of MTV2, is it just me or are they playing a lot of rap and R&B on there right now? Stuff that is normally on MTV is now on MTV2, and I don't remember any "Hip-Hop Month" announcement. Plus MTV has put it's old Making the Video shows on there. Sucks, cause MTV2 used to play rock songs that MTV wouldn't play unless they got popular, and now they've gotten rid of most of it. They even took off the MTV2 Rock show during the day and replaced it with another show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted July 1, 2002 It isn't MTV-X anymore, it's MTV Jams. 24/7 rap and r&b. I like it. And "Without Me" is GOLD. Since I stopped caring about putting up an asthetic facade, I love MTV, MTV2, MTV Jams, and the RADIO~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
