Heavy Metal Magazine youtubes

This is as good a time as any to remind everyone that there are three different youtubes for Heavy Metal Magazine (that I've come across):

 

the one with Eyebrow Tuna is the oldest out there, from 2007 when it was still www.metaltv.com:

Just nuts.  This was never in the magazine.  I was tickled to dig up a wayback machine scan of the metaltv.com Eyebrow Tuna web page.  It's just like I remembered (but for the lack of photos).

one from later in the Eastman era, early 2010s, just a few, with a mention of the Heavy Metal Pulp books:

the most recent one, with the most videos, from the unfortunate Medney era:

Interesting to see the differing approaches to using the medium, over years and regimes, and to consider how the internet hit the fan 18 years after Heavy Metal Magazine hit the markets, and that Heavy Metal survived 27 years more, on and off the internet, and what a changing landscape it was over those times.  Heavy Metal's web presence likewise evolved over the times, from the early days of www.metaltv.com (seen on the spines of some issues) to "The Hottest Channel on the Internet", to the more recent attempts at podcasts and virtual (virtually worthless) art, to its current cadaverous state.  To see the end of Heavy Metal, after so many decades, as my end looms nearer and nearer in the distance, is at once sobering and exhilarating.  What fun.
