Metal Weekend on VH1 Classic has taught (and in some cases, re-taught) me many things:
+ Appetite for Destruction is that rarest of albums: note perfect wire to wire
+ Japanese band Loudness had, like, six videos

+ Rik Emmett really made some...unfortunate wardrobe choices
+ Forced to adhere to present-day standards for music video attractiveness, Udo Dirkschneider would still be fucking awesome.
Some other "highlights:"

Pete - if I haven’t told you before, your metal posts rock. Thank you!
