Anyone notice the disapearance of AMP?

AMP was the best show on MTV, next to when they used to play
The Young Ones episodes, and now it isn't even on Sunday
nights anymore. It was the only show on MTV where you had
ANY chance of seeing the video for Come To Daddy, or
Squarepusher's Come on My Selector as well as countlessother
electronic artists. Does anyone who has MTV2 know if it's
moved to that channel? I figured it just got slowly weeded
out and moved to MTV2 like all of MTV's music content in
their grand conspiracy to force you to subscribe to MTV2
:).

I have MTV2 and I haven't seen Amp on there once. They
mostly play the same shitty videos as MTV. Although every
once in a while you might catch something rare (not much
techno though).

amp from five years ago was cool, but maybe thats because
there wasn't so much shitty electronic music. amp is on
mtv2, and mouse of its crap. i do like the mouse on mars
video though.

they relaunched amp when this years detroit music festival
occurred i believe. i've seen better stuff on muchmusic on
the wedge and another show they have that has people send in
videos from the net. there was a video by konstructiv
politburo. it was like jega, autechre, and a little bit of
evil. i think the website is konstructiv.net.

yeah, amp's on mtv2 now. (friday nights @ 10 or 11 est.) but
its kinda gone downhill since back when it was on
mtv(...when they actually showed it).
they basically play the same videos every week (with a few
exceptions)
and have recently begun mixing in shitty non-electronic
videos into the playlist (so far i've seen the new bsb
video like 3 times on amp...) i also think mtv2 as a whole
has been going downhill since it was "relaunched" last
winter...but its still better than regular mtv...what the
fuck happened?? it started off as a music channel..playing
just music videos, then they started adding more and more
music related shows... then more non-related shows...now mtv
seems pretty much devoid of any musical content...whats
worse is that they've replaced the music with some of the
worst aspects of american television...
professional wrestling, soap operas, "reality" shows and
game shows...karaoke game shows!!

well that was my rant for the day...

was ANYTHING on MTV ever that good?

except maybe "12 Angry Viewers" or the "25 Lamest Videos Of
ALL Time." I was funny to see Vanilla Ice beat the shit out
of Debbie Gibson and Rico Suave mannequins, and seeing Chris
Kattan cringe in terror.

Don Johnson certainly had a shitty video, but i believe the
Eddie Murphy feat. Micheal Jackson video should have gotten
the worst rating. Jesus, that video made me want to shoot
myself. Thank god it's gone forever now..... but i'm pretty
sure VH1 will fucking dig it up for some Michael Jackson
marathon as a LOST MJ Video or some stupid shit like
that...........

Bu-ump.

If you're gonna do that, you could at least make some
relevant contribution to the argument at the same time. If
the topic isn't interesting enough to warrant it, why are
you resurrecting it?

Bu, ba, bu-mp. Ha, ha, ha.
