About this episode
On this episode, Chris Akin and Eric Farentinos don’t hold back! They dive into the shocking news of Ace Frehley’s passing, with Chris calling out “scumbag” content creators who capitalized on the tragedy before the family could even make a statement. The conversation shifts to Eric’s experience seeing Judas Priest and Alice Cooper, where they discuss the spectacle, the band’s flawless musicianship, and Rob Halford’s powerful—yet possibly enhanced—vocals. Finally, they dissect the viral Axl Rose meltdown and the truly cringe-worthy isolated vocals from the “Back to the Beginning” concert, wondering if retirement is better than a “Mickey Mouse” performance.
