Since I got XM I have never gone back to FM and never will. XM has two metal stations..The Boneyard and Liquid Metal. Liquid Metal has all the super hardcore stuff and The Boneyard is more like going back to the 80's wi9th Iron Maiden, Judas Priest The scorps, UFO , Dio, and every LA Hair band there ever was. In LA we use to have a station called KNAC..It's alot like that and just that station alone to me is worth the $8 bucks I pay a month or whatever I pay. No commercials. They have hour long features like "Shredders" which is all guitar shred like satch and vai..They have "The dark side of the Bone" which is all Euro music for an hour like Iron, Judas, Sabbath...They have "Ballad Salad" which is all metal Balad Music..and a bunch of other stuff.
