Ep 5 HEADBANGERS BALL The death & birth of the greatest show on MTV
Riki Rachtman was the host of the weekly Heavy Metal show HEADBANGERS BALL which aired Satirday nights on MTV. He hosted the show from 1990-1995. In this episode Riki takes you back to before that time. We go back to the evolution of the word HEADBANGER. How was the show created. Who were the hosts before Riki? How did he get the job ? What mega rock star was influential in setting up the audition. Rather than break down the episodes ( That will happen in another show) You will go deep into the shows roots then we answer the burning question. Why did the Headbangers Ball end?
