How many people have VH1 Classic??? I never heard of it. What do they show on that channel?? Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and James Taylor--stuff not hip enough to make it on MTV yet there was an adult audience. Is that not what VH1 was all about when it first aired?

I have basic cable so I can get high speed internet. Premium cable would be a waste because the children will have the tv on Cartoon Network anyway.

I have VH1 classic.. it plays mostly new wavish stuff and music from the 80s. BUT you do get all that pap that you are talking about as well.

I understand your point though, that it should be availble to everyone else. But you at least have basic cable, until a month ago and for years, all I had was 4 channels and a pair of rabit ears. Imagine how I felt :P

On VH1 Classic's Alternative Hour, you can usually count on a regular airing of Depeche Mode's 'Policy of Truth'. 'Round and Round' gets played frequently as well, though other NO videos seem to be ignored. I saw the hysterical video for Captain Sensible's 'Wot' a week or two ago. Made my night (clearly a very boring one indeed).

Oh yeah, so no one else noticed the trouble Steve was having with his kit? I mentioned it earlier. The fills on LWTUA were late and rushed. I think his hi-hat was positioned to close to the snare; he looked quite uncomfortable during throughout the performance. I feel bad, 'cause Steve is such an ace drummer 98% of the time.

I don't have it either. When I was deciding which cable to get, I went cheap because I don't watch much TV so I don't get things like VH1 Classic...figures that's who would show New Order.
