Heritage Sighting on VH1

[DavesNotHere]

I've been spending the day literally watching the walls dry and I had the TV on VH1 Classics as background noise. They are currently airing a documentary series called “Metal Evolution”.

There was an episode on this afternoon that was about Thrash metal. I know little to nothing about Thrash, but they were talking about some of the pioneering bands and they mentioned Testament. That perked up my ears.

I only know about them because of Alex Skolnick's association with Heritage.

While they were interviewing Alex, he had a 150 sitting next to him, but it was turned so you couldn't read the head stock logo. So, there was no Heritage exposure to the masses, but it was nice to see it on national TV none the less. At least we know.

How funny how producers do that sometimes. My kids watch stuff on Disney and Nick and the instruments logos are covered or removed....

I saw Testament last week and he was using a Silverbust and a Tobaccoburst (I beleive) all night. He was also filling in for Scott Ian for Anthrax that night too. My girlfriend would not cooperate in my plans to sneak off with one

His endorsement will certainly appeal to a certain segment of guitarists out there. The Jazz world needs no introduction to Heritage, the metal world however...... has the best possible host to introduce the two.

Yeah Disney and Nick does that..legal reasons or are they after endorsement$?

Go H! all my tv picks up is Disney--(I have a daughter!) All I can ever find on there is a gibby or two in a boy band like the jonas brothers. I always think--the mega company meets the corporate giant--and this is the result. Occasionally I do find a way to snag the remote (it's a game at our house) and find an old school concert or maybe a documentary on abt animals, food--or occasionally even the blues!!!--Recently saw something on Mac Arnold and his gas can guitar..interesting!

I finally seized the remote last Friday. Got a new tv for Christmas and I've never watched anything on it for me... Went to the Discovery Channel and found all sorts of new shows I want to see!

Yeah, I can certainly understand her not wanting you to sneak off with Alex.....

Maybe they hit Heritage up for an exposure fee and they turned it down.

That's right. They can't sell to the lucrative product placement market effectively if they're "just giving it away" to others.
