Why NOT METAL in RADIOS?

[Cracka.Brew]

In 1984, the station was based in Reddick, Florida, and was hosted by Couzin Ed and station "intern" Lazlow. By 1986, the station had relocated to Vice City and Lazlow is now the sole DJ following Couzin Ed's dismissal.

The station's promos often included derogatory comparisons to other stations, mocking the synthesizer-based music played by its competitors while stating that "real men" only listen to the rock music that V-Rock plays. The station's mascot is a vulture, as can be seen in the station's logo. Lazlow would often complain that the bird "got more air time than [he] did".

The station was officially endorsed by contemporary rock artists, including Jezz Torrent of Love Fist, who can regularly be heard in V-Rock's promos. The station also operated a studio adjacent to its Vice City headquarters, which would often be used by Love Fist for their recording sessions. V-Rock also features call-ins from members of the public. The three callers featured in GTA Vice City are Couzin Ed, who wishes to vent his anger at Lazlow for "stealing" his job, Mitch Baker, who berates the station for playing "girl's music", and a man who refers to himself as "Snow Dog". The phone line is also used in GTA Vice City Stories, although in this instance the only caller is a man who insults Couzin Ed.

The V-Rock Hotel in Las Venturas, San Andreas takes its name from the radio station and features the V-Rock logo prominently on its sign.

I still can't believe R* scrapped PMR for VBR... such a waste.

100% agree.

Metal is for outcasts and losers. Never met anyone worth my time who listened to metal. It's all angry teenagers and 20-somethings who have no taste in decent music. Last thing I need is to hear some long-haired jobless nothing screaming on his mic to his sh*tty music.

 

First of all,you seem to be a fan of Kanye West who is an idiot whose music is mediocre at best,so you're not in a position to judge which music is decent and which isn't.Second,many people who are fans of metal are not outcasts and losers.Third,the last thing I want is to hear some 13 year old equivalent of Jimmy De Santa squeaking N-word in the mic every few seconds,but I'm forced to deal with it since there's 4 rap stations in game (3 of which are garbage).

Maybe you'll be able to go on the internet in game, go to a iHeart Radio style website/app, and listen to LCHC in Los Santos someday.

Just a note, please don't post if your only contribution is a pointless post like "metal sucks" or the like.

 

Thanks!
