I would love to be in the room when VH1 interviews music celebrities for their "100 greatest ____" lists. Just watching the edited show, you can sense the undercurrents and unspoken opinions of the people being interviewed. It is pure comedy at times. I had a bunch of giggles while watching the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Bands of All Time.

• The topic of Nirvana (#9) elicited some polite responses from metalheads and hair bands. A chorus of brief praise seemed to be practically dragged out of assorted rockers. C.C. Deville (Poison): "I loved them. (pause)". Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister) was more to the point: "Nirvana sounded the death knell for old school heavy metal. But they were great. (pause)". The statement, "These guys ruined my career. What the hell do you want me to say about them?" was written all over their faces. Hilarious.
• Chuck D of Public Enemy appeared here and there and made a bunch of forgettable comments. I swear he was thinking, "If I had known doing 'Bring The Noise' with Anthrax was going to condemn me to appearing on these shows forever, I never would have done it!"
• As usual, Henry Rollins made a couple of inflammatory remarks. On the subject of the Sex Pistols (#12): "They were more cute than anything. If Johnny Lydon was here now, I'd pet him like my lap dog." I was peeved for a second, because the last thing I want to hear in the midst of a bunch of heavy metal worship is someone dismissing punk. But what were the Sex Pistols but a bunch of drunken morons that Malcolm McLaren thrust into the limelight (while carefully pulling their strings)? They certainly are responsible for creating a new school of music (and thought), but let's not wax poetic about what brilliant guys they were.
