Popularity and influence

Headbangers Ball was one of the most popular music shows ever to air on MTV, on the air for nearly 8 years, and for a time, it was one of the network's flagship shows. For some time in 1988 & 1989, the show was increased to 3 hours. One hour added, plus "hard 60", a daily version of the ball that aired for an hour every weekday afternoon.

Its influence was made widespread with the rise of heavy metal in the 1980s and early 1990s. The 1980s was the decade spanning from January 1 1980 to December 31 1989. The 1990s collectively refers to the years between and including 1990 and 1999 While the program primarily showed videos from the mainstream friendly "hair metal" genre, it gave an equal amount of time to the often more aggressive-sounding heavy metal music scene active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Glam metal (also known as pop metal) is a sub-genre of Heavy metal music that arose in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States. When "hair metal" faded from the limelight, the show expanded to include coverage of such alternative rock bands as Alice in Chains and Soundgarden while continuing to focus on less mainstream forms of heavy metal. Alice in Chains is an American rock band formed in Seattle Washington in

Bands would visit the set for interviews, and in some instances, the show would follow bands on trips to assorted locations across the world; one example would be a skydiving trip with Megadeth, whose footage was released on the DVD The Arsenal of Megadeth in 2006. Megadeth is an American heavy metal band led by founder front man guitarist and songwriter Dave Mustaine. [2]

Other notable TV programs have emulated Headbangers Ball, such as Fuse TV's Uranium and VH1's Rock Show. Fuse is a Music video -oriented Television channel.

The show remained on the airwaves until January 1995, when MTV abruptly canceled the show without any prior warning to viewers, Riki Rachtman, or the production staff. Year 1995 ( MCMXCV) was a Common year starting on Sunday. Events of 1995 The year 1995 in television involved some significant eventsBelow is a list of Television -related events in 1995.

Over the years, MTV Europe attempted to fill the void left by the cancellation of Headbangers Ball with other rock-themed block programs such as the Julia Valet-hosted Superock, but all have failed for various reasons - including MTV's attempt to make these replacements more mainstream friendly with Top 40 and alternative rock videos added to the shows.
