The Kiss "Landlocked" Con, Megadeth's Ozzy Snub, and Black Sabbath's Big Screen Return

On this episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and Chris waste no time dissecting the latest developments in the rock and metal world. First on the chopping block is the rebranding of the November Kiss event to "Kiss Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas." The guys pull no punches, exposing what they see as questionable reasons for the name change and, more importantly, the exorbitant pricing that has fans reeling. They analyze whether this is a shrewd business move or a blatant cash grab. The conversation then shifts to a perennial topic of debate: Megadeth's surprising absence from the "BACK TO THE BEGINNING" Black Sabbath / Ozzy retirement show. Chris and Neeley explore various theories behind this notable exclusion, diving into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the metal elite. Finally, they discuss the exciting news that the epic Black Sabbath / Ozzy retirement concert will be repackaged into a theatrical release in early 2026, examining what this means for the legacy of the show and its accessibility to fans worldwide.
