Neeley and Chris are dropping F-bombs and spilled beer talking about the dark ages of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW. No internet? No problem! Except, wait... it was a fucking disaster! 😂 They’re pulling the curtain back on the early days, the people they met and lost, and how they adjusted to this “internet thing.” You gotta hear Chris’s Triumph interview story, too. This is pure nostalgia and pure chaos. WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?! WHAT. THE. HELL. Gene Simmons had a massive faux pas calling Ace Frehley “dead” due to “bad decisions.” Neeley and Chris are tearing into The Demon, surprisingly agreeing with some of Eddie Trunk’s reaction for once! 🤯 But hold your beer, because the real chaos starts when they get to the Kiss/Cheap Trick/Trump award drama. Chris goes into a NUCLEAR, F-BOMB-fueled rant about metal fans who think anyone cares about their “stupid political opinions.” Get ready to spill your drink and start an argument! 🔥 WHAT THE HELL is Charlotte Church doing?! Neeley and Chris are ripping into the singer’s gross admission that she doesn’t shave or use deodorant. It’s a full-on rage fest that leads right into the ridiculous story of Milana Vayntrub’s “Only Philanthropy” site. Is it genius or a total disaster? You decide. Plus, we talk about Miss Finland losing her crown over a racial slur motion, and the drunken cop who got fired for trying to bang a colleague. Pure, uncut, argument-starting chaos! 🔥 BRO, before the chaos starts, praise the masters of darkness! This episode is brought to you by Black Sabbath - SABOTAGE COLLECTOR’S EDITION BOX SET - https://amzn.to/45gHgDc . Get the Sabbath! 🤘 We’re slamming lazy, irresponsible journalists this week! Neeley and Chris tear into the absurd story about Stevie Nicks “allegedly” forgetting the words to “Landslide,” which was complete BS, but the writer was too fucking lame to even check the video! Chris goes NUCLEAR on the writer’s pathetic lack of effort. 🤯 Plus, we talk about: • The drunken policewoman who got canned for trying to bang a fellow cop at an event.• Sharon Osbourne’s wild confession: she only cared about Ozzy cheating when he brought the mistress home! What the hell?! This highlight is pure argument fuel! 🔥 🚨 GET TOMORROW’S EPISODE TODAY, BRO! 🚨 Want tomorrow’s episode TODAY + VIP exclusives + daily AI news pods with ZERO ads?

“He talked a good deal about how there’s more freedom to be yourself in Saudi Arabia than here. Because when you do comedy here, when you tell a joke here, you’re always taking the risk of being canceled.” [Sponsor: Metallica - THE BROADCAST COLLECTION 1988-1994 - https://amzn.to/4phEFBg ] Dave Chappelle just dropped a surprise special called The Unstoppable and it’s pure chaos. Chris Akin dives into why this isn’t just a “comedy” special—it’s Dave in “storyteller mode” telling the world to kiss his ass. From making “life-changing money” in Saudi Arabia to addressing the death of Charlie Kirk, Dave is touching all the third rails. EPISODE BREAKDOWN: * The “Un-Funny” Factor: Why traditional comedy fans might hate this. * Ohio Power: Dave’s plan to buy his town. * The Cancellation Risk: Why Dave thinks America is more restrictive than the Middle East.

In this exclusive interview, Chris Akin chats with Jimmy Waldo, the legendary keyboardist for the heavy metal band Alcatrazz, about their new release, Prior Convictions , which features new recordings of classic material and some fresh tracks. Jimmy gets super real about the band’s decision to show off their current incredible lineup , including singer Giles Lavery, rather than chasing a “famous name” singer who might lack the right chemistry. He also spills the details on his knack for finding guitar phenoms, from Yngwie Malmsteen to Steve Vai and now Joe Stump , explaining that aggressive playing and genuine attitude are what he looks for, not just speed. Finally, Jimmy confirms that the songs, not the star power, are what matter most to the audience.

Neeley and Chris are back after the holiday to share their Thanksgiving stories, including Chris’s self-described sad and pathetic day working and watching football. They rip on the new season of STRANGER THINGS for its weirdly grown-up “kids” and predict the impending death of movie theaters. The episode closes with incredible CMS history destined for the new book coming in 2026, including Chris’s past life as a “mean fucking asshole.” Are you still mad at the Angry Akin, or is the new, tempered Chris better? Neeley and Chris tackle the controversial comments from Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan that the band has “no end in sight,” even though Gillan is 80 and going blind. They defend Don Dokken against trolls for performing while sitting, admitting he’s lost the ability to play guitar. Ultimately, Chris swears these old bands not retiring hurts the next generation. Do these legendary rockers have a responsibility to step aside for younger acts, or should they truly rock till they drop? Neeley and Chris are back, picking up on the debate over Metallica’s St. Anger before diving into the controversial new lineup of Metal Church. They praise the total consistency of bands like Testament and Overkill, then deliver a brutal one-two punch against L.A. Guns’ album LEOPARD SKIN. Finally, they dig into the reports that Death Angel singer Mark Osegueda is losing focus on recording a new album, especially when Slayer is still “brilliant live”. What happened to L.A. Guns? Neeley and Chris are back, picking up their discussion on the disastrous production choices of Metallica’s ST. ANGER, with Chris recalling the embarrassing documentary drama. They then compare the hit-or-miss career of bands like Metal Church and Megadeth with the flawless catalogs of Testament and Overkill. The show closes with brutal critiques of L.A. Guns’ latest turd, news on Kerry King and a lack of focus from Death Angel’s singer , and the bizarre announcement of a Bruce Dickinson/Graham Bonnet duet.

Chris Akin sits down with Chris “The Professor” Black, the main creative force behind the band Aktor, to discuss their intriguing new conceptual release, Professori Season 2 . Black reveals that the album’s detective show concept was inspired by his unlikely pandemic obsession with Scandinavian crime dramas and their recurring cliches, leading to a hilarious realization that the shows are so formulaic you can skip whole seasons! They delve into the challenging process of creating a layered, non-traditional sound that blends psychedelic, prog, and new wave elements, and talk about their collaboration with extreme metal legend Dan Swanö for the mixing.

“And you can see if Vince is actually lip syncing. I think you can see that from YouTube for nothing.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it—the guys found Motley Crue ticket prices up to $409, and the Extreme meet-and-greet package costs $500 for seats barely off the lawn! 🤯 We’re calling this the Carnival of Stinge . This episode rips apart the return of Motley Crue’s Carnival of Sins tour, exposing insane Ticketmaster prices (up to $5,000 for front row !) and Nikki Sixx’s bogus claim that Vince Neil sounds “solid and badass”. We also dive into the new Metal Church all-star lineup with David Ellefson , and why Tom Keifer killed the Cinderella reunion, plus a caller’s fiery rant about the Rock Hall and $300 tickets for Nine Inch Nails.

“I need, I need the tail a little, a little above the asshole, please. It needs to flip up and flip up and open.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it—it’s about a bizarre sexual undertone that’s taken over one of the guys’ businesses! 🤢 You’ll spit out your coffee, I promise. We’re kicking off the Classic Metal Show with an in-depth Eddie Murphy documentary review, ripping apart his bad movies like Norbit and Vampire in Brooklyn , and dropping the harsh truth about why mega-rich comedians like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle aren’t as funny anymore (it’s the money, bro). Later, one of the guys recounts his St. Louis Dokken trip and the bizarre health and retirement backtracking news from both Don Dokken and George Lynch ... but holy hell, is the Pinball PA Furry Convention drama real?!

Ever wonder what goes on with the furry scene? Neeley and Chris are not holding back! We’re talking about Neeley’s St. Louis trip hanging with Dokken and then diving headfirst into the bizarre sexual undertones of the furries who showed up at Pinball PA. Plus, we’re calling B.S. on how a new Eddie Murphy documentary rewrites history to make his box-office bombs sound like civil rights movements. Nikki Sixx says Vince Neil sounds “bad ass,” but is that just tour hype? We’re tearing apart the announcement of the Return of the Carnival of Sins 2 tour and Nikki’s defense of Vince’s vocals. Plus, we’ve got the real dirt on why Cinderella decided to skip a massive summer tour, and all the exciting news about Metal Church bringing David Ellefson and Ken Mary on board for their return! Don Dokken is flipping his script on retirement, which got us thinking: how close were Dokken to becoming mega-stars before the Don vs. George Lynch tension tore the band apart? We’re talking about the fiery past between those two! And stick around for our take on why 80s and 90s movie soundtracks were just so darn vital for rock music. We’re watching and analyzing the infamous Billy Squier “Rock Me Tonite” video, seriously wondering if any artist has ever tanked their career faster. You have to see it! We also dive into the hotel customer who’s suing because he had to show ID and use a credit card.

“I’d be the one that would sit there and look at the thing half breathing and step on its fucking head.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it... The guys lost their minds over PETA and animal rights activists losing their shit about an owl dying at a Coca-Cola bottling plant in South Africa, arguing that a single two-liter of Coke is worth more than 10 owls. The focus story of the hour is all about the outrage over an owl dying at a Coca-Cola bottling plant in South Africa, which sent the hosts into a glorious, uncensored rage-spiral against PETA and animal activists. This quickly led to an even more unhinged discussion about a trans woman bringing a high court challenge in Ireland to be recognized as a child’s birth mother using her frozen sperm .

“Yeah. I sucked and I knew it, but I took your fucking money anyway.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it! Lou Gramm admitted that after his brain surgery, he couldn’t remember the words to Foreigner’s classic songs, but he kept touring and collecting paychecks. Holy hell, Motley Crue is trying to sell their Theatre of Pain box set with a live single from 1985, and it proves that they’ve always been bad live, even when Vince Neil was in his prime! But that’s not the worst news—Lou Gramm is admitting that he forgot his Foreigner lyrics after brain surgery 30 years ago but kept taking fans’ cash for terrible performances. Meanwhile, Robin McCauley’s band Black Swan is back with some killer new music, but with Journey kicking off an ambitious farewell tour (that is totally reliant on backing tracks), is anyone going to pay attention to quality rock anymore?

Can you believe Roger Miret of Agnostic Front, the literal Godfather of Hardcore, just called the internet and AI the “most destructive tool there ever is”? He doesn’t hold back, arguing that our obsession with phones is making us “soulless fucking people” and destroying human creativity and genuine connection. It’s a hardcore take on modern life, and honestly, you have to hear his reasoning behind Evolution of Madness and why he thinks we’ve all gone “batshit crazy”! This conversation goes deep, so strap in. Chris Akin sits down with Roger Miret to dive into the band’s latest killer record, Echoes in Eternity , set for release on November 7th. Roger reveals the fascinating story behind their genre-bending collaboration with the legendary DMC of Run DMC on the track Matter of Life and Death , touching on how hardcore and hip hop have walked “parallel lives”. He also gets intensely personal, discussing his battle with cancer during the pandemic and how overcoming that fight—similar to his past struggles—provided a new spark to maximize every second of life. Beyond the music, Roger shares why Echoes in Eternity is a collection of all their past records and the punk ethic of caring about the art and packaging, not just a song on Spotify. He even drops some eye-opening thoughts on American consumerism and how different the food and lifestyle is in Europe. Agnostic Front is hitting the road soon, with East Coast shows starting December 4th and a European tour in February 2026, so be ready to witness the live monster.

“How long before one of these charts, the top 20 is all AI? Five years? Not even that long. Two years? Two years.” Wait till you hear WHY they said it—it’s not just the new Bon Jovi/Def Leppard song “Walls of Jericho” sucking that convinced them, but a fictional AI-generated country band called Breaking Rust currently topping the charts. The new Bon Jovi and Def Leppard collaboration “Walls of Jericho” is so bad it convinced us the music industry is officially a corpse, and we can’t believe Jon Bon Jovi is calling this sleepy track a “barn burner”. This trash-fire single arrives as AI-generated bands like Breaking Rust are already topping the country charts, proving that the Classic Metal Show might need to pivot to the Classic Movie Show because the era of “real” music is dunzo. With David Coverdale retiring from Whitesnake and Dave Mustaine’s retirement tour lasting half a decade, is there any life left in rock, or is it just a cash-grab corpse waiting for the next AI takeover?

“And when one group of people wants to come in wearing fucking silly costumes and wants to give me $700 for the privilege, I’m willing to take it .” Wait till you hear WHY they said it, and how it involved comedian Jim Florentine, a 7-foot actor from How I Met Your Mother, and a pro wrestler. Holy hell, Chris Akin had an absolutely WILD day at Pinball PA in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, coordinating comedian Jim Florentine’s appearance. Not only did they have huge success with a massive audience thanks to Florentine’s visit , but the pinball palace was simultaneously booked by a local furry group, which Jim Florentine will absolutely rage about on his next podcast. PLUS, a celeb from How I Met Your Mother and a pro wrestler named Shane Douglas just rolled up to hang out—what other podcast’s episode is packed with that much sheer, unadulterated madness?

Holy hell, Chris Akin had an absolutely WILD day at Pinball PA in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, coordinating comedian Jim Florentine’s appearance. Not only did they have huge success with a massive audience thanks to Florentine’s visit , but the pinball palace was simultaneously booked by a local furry group, which Jim Florentine will absolutely rage about on his next podcast. PLUS, a celeb from How I Met Your Mother and a pro wrestler named Shane Douglas just rolled up to hang out—what other podcast’s episode is packed with that much sheer, unadulterated madness? The new Bon Jovi and Def Leppard collaboration “Walls of Jericho” is so bad it convinced us the music industry is officially a corpse, and we can’t believe Jon Bon Jovi is calling this sleepy track a “barn burner”. This trash-fire single arrives as AI-generated bands like Breaking Rust are already topping the country charts, proving that the Classic Metal Show might need to pivot to the Classic Movie Show because the era of “real” music is dunzo. With David Coverdale retiring from Whitesnake and Dave Mustaine’s retirement tour lasting half a decade, is there any life left in rock, or is it just a cash-grab corpse waiting for the next AI takeover? Motley Crue is trying to sell their Theatre of Pain box set with a live single from 1985, and it proves that they’ve always been bad live, even when Vince Neil was in his prime! But that’s not the worst news—Lou Gramm is admitting that he forgot his Foreigner lyrics after brain surgery 30 years ago but kept taking fans’ cash for terrible performances. Meanwhile, Robin McCauley’s band Black Swan is back with some killer new music, but with Journey kicking off an ambitious farewell tour (that is totally reliant on backing tracks), is anyone going to pay attention to quality rock anymore? The focus story of the hour is all about the outrage over an owl dying at a Coca-Cola bottling plant in South Africa, which sent the hosts into a glorious, uncensored rage-spiral against PETA and animal activists. This quickly led to an even more unhinged discussion about a trans woman bringing a high court challenge in Ireland to be recognized as a child’s birth mother using her frozen sperm. From name-changing teens to corporate owl murder and trans lunacy, can society get any dumber? Tired of ads?

Can you believe Roger Miret of Agnostic Front , the literal Godfather of Hardcore, just called the internet and AI the “most destructive tool there ever is”? He doesn’t hold back, arguing that our obsession with phones is making us “soulless fucking people” and destroying human creativity and genuine connection. It’s a hardcore take on modern life, and honestly, you have to hear his reasoning behind Evolution of Madness and why he thinks we’ve all gone “batshit crazy”! This conversation goes deep, so strap in. Chris Akin sits down with Roger Miret to dive into the band’s latest killer record, Echoes in Eternity , set for release on November 7th. Roger reveals the fascinating story behind their genre-bending collaboration with the legendary DMC of Run DMC on the track Matter of Life and Death , touching on how hardcore and hip hop have walked “parallel lives”. He also gets intensely personal, discussing his battle with cancer during the pandemic and how overcoming that fight—similar to his past struggles—provided a new spark to maximize every second of life. Beyond the music, Roger shares why Echoes in Eternity is a collection of all their past records and the punk ethic of caring about the art and packaging, not just a song on Spotify. He even drops some eye-opening thoughts on American consumerism and how different the food and lifestyle is in Europe. Agnostic Front is hitting the road soon, with East Coast shows starting December 4th and a European tour in February 2026, so be ready to witness the live monster. 00:00 Mike Gallo’s ID / Roger Miret’s “Hot Take” on the internet/AI01:13 Agnostic Front: The legendary band’s new album, Echoes in Eternity (November 7th release)02:14 The true secret to Agnostic Front’s longevity03:16 Why Agnostic Front is a live monster , not a studio band04:09 Why touring and younger bands keep the music and lyrics inspired04:57 Lyrical focus: social-political, day-to-day issues (not world politics)05:41 Echoes in Eternity as a “catalog record”06:27 The DMC collaboration on “Matter of Life and Death”07:12 Hardcore and Hip Hop: Walking “parallel lives”08:52 Roger’s instruction to DMC: “Do your thing, your way”09:14 DMC’s recording and excitement for the song and video10:45 DMC’s humbleness and why he’s true to heavy music12:23 The importance of hip hop/metal collaborations (Run-DMC & Aerosmith, Anthrax & Public Enemy)13:15 The deeply personal song “I Can Win” 13:47 Overcoming depression and getting hit with cancer during the pandemic14:09 Finding hope: The song was originally “I Can’t/Can Win”15:56 Cancer and prison as a “spark” to maximize life and fight oppression17:12 The system is “fucking broke” and the song “Evolution of Madness” 17:50 The internet and AI as the “most destructive tool”19:36 Why AI and Chat GPT create “soulless fucking people”20:20 Agnostic Front’s logo and the meaning of “Agnostic”20:39 The Echoes in Eternity cover art: blindfolded by belief21:38 Upcoming tour dates: East Coast (December 4th) and Europe (February 2026)22:14 The non-glamorous side of touring: lots of waiting23:48 Why seeing the world is essential to experience truth25:16 Americans are “non-appreciative” and the differences in food (preservatives)27:43 Where to buy the new album and merchandise (agnosticfront.com)28:27 The importance of the physical album art and punk ethics Get commercial-free versions of our episodes, early releases, and exclusive content by subscribing to our premium platforms.

Jack Russell hated the song—and then he couldn’t get the timing right! Robbie Lockner tells the fascinating, intimate story behind recording the track “Crazy” for the He Saw It Coming album. He recounts how Jack initially rejected the track and struggled to find the right flow. Robbie ultimately coached the legendary singer, telling him he needed to get that “sexy flow like Steven Tyler,” a cue that worked perfectly to nail the final vocal take. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes story you can only get here! What’s your favorite track from He Saw It Coming?

The shame is real! The hosts continue to savage the “wholesome” secrets of married men’s alone time. This segment features confessions of perfecting napping conditions, getting lost in home improvement projects, and sleeping “starfish style” to avoid elbowing anyone. The hosts are incredulous at the level of misery and deception, especially the one guy who lied to his wife about how “difficult” his solo time was, just so she wouldn’t think he was on vacation. Listen for the host’s final takedown of these men living an “awful life”. Is your single life better than these guys’ alone time?

This is proof that married men are living awful, henpecked lives! The hosts read answers from a viral Reddit thread asking men what they do the second their wives and kids leave the house for alone time. The men confess to “wholesome” activities like putting away decorative pillows, finally being able to turn down the AC, or sitting in complete silence. The hosts savage these miserable confessions and argue that most men are just too scared to admit the truth (porn and jerking off). What is the first thing you do when everyone leaves the house?

Talk about a shocker! Andrey Smirnov is out of U.D.O., and the band hasn’t said a peep about who’s coming in to fill those big guitar shoes. Is this the end of the line for their current sound, or will they find a killer replacement fast? So, the big news just dropped: Andrey Smirnov, guitarist for U.D.O., has amicably parted ways with the band. It’s a bummer, especially since no replacement has been announced yet! This leaves a huge question mark over the band’s future sound and touring plans. We’re diving into what this split really means for Udo Dirkschneider and the guys, and of course, we’ll start a rumor mill about who we think will step up as the next shredder.

They tear into the track for being “tremendously average” and “repetitive” and then hilariously impersonate Dave Mustaine explaining why Megadeth will inevitably put out another “final” album. This is a must-see for all thrash metal fans! #Megadeth #TippingPoint #DaveMustaine #ThrashMetal #NewMusicReview #HeavyMetal #Metallica #FinalAlbum #MetalReview #Mustaine #ControversialReview #MetalCommentary #NewMegadeth This is a public episode.

Chris Akin delivers news about the BulletBoys, with original drummer Jimmy DeAnda rejoining the band, alongside bassist Lonnie Vincent. He notes the band’s history of high turnover and the alleged difficulties with Marq Torien. While happy for the semi-reunion, Chris is skeptical about its longevity, especially since guitarist Mick Sweda has no desire to return. The bigger take-away is Chris’s controversial opinion that the “hair metal” genre is dying fast, with smaller shows and audiences who have simply “run its course” after seeing the bands multiple times over the last 15 years. 00:00:14 Intro & Welcome 00:00:24 Bullet Boys Fan Status 00:00:40 The Band’s High Turnover Rate 00:00:45 Mark Torien is “Difficult” 00:01:10 Ex-Members Formed Band “Lying, Stealing, and Treachery” 00:01:32 Two Ex-Members are Back in the Band 00:01:36 Jimmy DeAnda Rejoins Bullet Boys 00:01:46 Lonnie Vincent also Returned 00:01:56 Mick Sweda Has No Desire to Return 00:02:19 How Long Will This Reunion Last? 00:02:59 The Hair Metal Genre is Dying 00:03:29 The Audience Has Run Its Course 00:03:59 Jimmy DeAnda’s Return is a “Last Gasp” 00:04:12 Will They Sound Like the First Album? 00:04:48 Final Bullet Boys News 00:04:55 Do the Podcasty Stuff & Locals Plug 00:05:47 Outro Get commercial-free versions of our episodes, early releases, and exclusive content by subscribing to our premium platforms.

In this urgent episode of CMS News, Chris Akin shares the absolutely devastating news that KISS’s original lead guitarist, Ace Frehley , has passed away at the age of 74. The legend died after being hospitalized for a brain bleed following a fall and his family made the difficult decision to turn off his ventilator. Chris pays tribute to “Space Ace,” acknowledging his enormous influence on guitar players (alongside Eddie Van Halen) and the indelible mark he and KISS left on rock and roll, setting the tone for the 70s and early hair metal.

“I’m the guy that’s gonna say, I’m gonna walk right up to the line if there is a line. If there’s no line, I’m gonna stomp my way until you wish you had a line. That’s who I am.” This brutally honest quote encapsulates the personality clash that makes The Classic Metal Show the raw, unfiltered experience fans crave. Hear Chris Akin admit he’s a shock jock through and through, explaining why a return to safe, corporate radio was never in the cards, especially after the hell of cab driving and working with the Indians during his lowest point. Don’t miss this deep dive into the toxic marriage and depression that led to his shocking departure, forcing him to embrace his true, controversial self. The guys take you through a truly raw, behind-the-scenes look at the show’s chaotic history, revealing how they struggled to maintain the broadcast during Chris Akin’s personal nadir, an intense period involving a hate-filled relationship and a failed attempt at a clean-cut news show (”All the News”) that he “hated”. They talk about their incredible 20-year run, the resignation email that’s going in the book, and how they knew the chemistry was too good to stay away. They also announce Chris Akin’s big-money, job-job gig next week, where he’ll be engineering a local celebrity’s wake/service —a job too lucrative to turn down, even for the show. Plus, a nod to Rockin’ Randy’s FDA-certified no-bake cookies and his sponsorship of the upcoming Dave Landau live podcast ! This episode is packed with stories about maintaining a long-running metal podcast , dealing with disagreements , and the hilarious reality of using early, terrible video technology during the “plan Demic”.

On this episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and Chris dive into two highly debatable topics that are sure to spark conversation. First up, they dissect the surprising revelation of Bret Michaels ' meet-and-greet, advertised with a handwritten sign taped to a wall, priced between $400 and $600. The guys engage in a lively debate, with Neeley suggesting it's likely a venue decision, while Chris passionately argues that an artist of Michaels' caliber should never be associated with something so "cheap and lame." It's a candid look at artist branding and fan interaction in the modern music industry. The discussion then takes a sharp turn as they react to the astonishing news of a soccer star in Spain under investigation for dwarf tossing . Chris and Neeley have a field day with this bizarre and controversial story, offering their unfiltered takes and demonstrating why THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW isn't afraid to tackle even the most outlandish headlines.

This week on CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS... INTERVIEWS , Chris Akin had the privilege of sitting down with a true titan of heavy music, Frédéric Leclercq . Many of you know Frédéric from his incredible work with Kreator , but in this episode, we dive deep into his other powerful project, Sinsaenum . Frédéric joined us to discuss Sinsaenum's latest release, "In Devastation," an album that is profoundly personal. He shared how the raw emotional pain of losing his father, as well as his dear friend and bandmate Joey Jordison (the legendary drummer of Slipknot and Murderdolls ), became a driving force behind the songwriting. We explore the sensitive topic of how their new drummer handled the immense task of filling the shoes of a legend like Jordison, the exciting new elements they've incorporated into the Sinsaenum sound, and the realities of touring around Frédéric's incredibly busy schedule. This is a conversation that goes beyond the music, touching on grief, creativity, and the enduring power of friendship. This post is brought to you by Amazon, your go-to for Sinsaenum’s IN DEVASTATION on Vinyl - https://amzn.to/3GsaGpp . What are your thoughts on "In Devastation"? Share your comments below!

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.

This week on THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and I couldn't resist digging into the latest headline about Sebastian Bach getting dressed down by his record company. The reason? His alarmingly low streaming numbers. Now, you’d think an artist in this day and age would understand the game, but Bach’s response was pure gold – or pure delusion, depending on how you look at it. We picked apart his statements and, frankly, it just reinforced our belief: the guy is seriously out of touch with today's audience . It’s a classic example of an old-school rockstar refusing to adapt, blaming the platform instead of looking in the mirror. We're talking about an industry that's completely transformed, and if you're not on board, you're getting left behind. This isn't about shitting on a legend; it's about calling out the uncomfortable truth that some of our heroes need a serious reality check. Tune in to hear our full, unfiltered take on why Sebastian Bach needs to wake up and smell the Spotify. SPONSOR: ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY...

This week on THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and I got into some killer new music from our dedicated fans. First up, Steve Jackson dropped some tracks from his new band, and then an Austrian fan blew us away with a song featuring the legendary David Readman from Pink Cream 69. It’s always awesome to hear what real metalheads are creating, away from the industry's BS. But then, we stumbled onto a video of a guy, who kinda looked like Neeley, absolutely losing his mind over the price of Paul McCartney tickets. And let me tell you, that set us off. We dove deep into why concert tickets are so damn expensive now. It's not just inflation; it’s a whole system designed to fleece fans. We're talking about dynamic pricing, scalpers, and promoters squeezing every last dime out of you. It's a brutal reality check for anyone who loves live music but can't afford to see their favorite bands anymore. This is a topic that hits close to home for every true metal fan.

Neeley and Chris are stunned! They dissect a recent video of former Opie and Anthony co-host Gregg "Opie" Hughes, and the results are disturbing. Is Opie literally losing his mind? His behavior suggests a tragic fall from grace, fueled by isolation and something deeper. The guys are both baffled and concerned. Prepare for a raw, unfiltered take on a public figure's possible breakdown. You haven't seen anything like this before. Don't be a bystander; watch and decide for yourself if Opie's descent is a cautionary tale or a circus sideshow. #ClassicMetalShow #OpieHughes #OpieAndAnthony #MentalHealth #Breakdown #Isolation #TragicFall #PublicFall #LostHisMind #Podcast #YouTube #GreggHughes Is Opie’s current state the sad result of prolonged isolation and mental health issues, or is he simply reaping the consequences of his own actions?

Dive into nostalgia with Neeley and Chris on THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW as they reminisce about the Spuds MacKenzie era, where it was okay to call women "hot" and fashion was a wild ride. They share cringe-worthy 80s outfits they wore and laugh at their teenage style missteps. But the real shock comes from Chris's tales of his motorcycle escapades - how is he still standing? Neeley's astonishment at Chris's survival adds to the drama. Join us for a trip down memory lane that might make you question the sanity of the 80s. Are we looking back at the 80s through rose-tinted glasses or was it just pure chaos?

In this episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and Chris dive into the murky waters of bands formed purely for cash, questioning if these "supergroups" actually tarnish the legacies of the musicians involved. The conversation takes a dark turn with Frankie Valli visibly struggling on stage, sparking debates on elder abuse in the music industry. Aging icons like Jennifer Coolidge and Pam Anderson are critiqued, but it's Sydney Sweeney's photos that ignite a fiery debate in the chatroom - is she hot or does she look underage? Can we still enjoy music when it’s clouded by ethical dilemmas?

In this jaw-dropping episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley shares details of his birthday dinner with Sal, but that's just the appetizer. We dive into a controversial new breast cancer medication that might be more harmful than helpful. Then, we stir the pot by debating the worst heavy metal band ever. But wait, it gets spicier with a discussion on real dolls at CES and an AI-generated erotic story. Is this the future of entertainment or a step too far? What do you think - has technology gone too far or are we just getting started?
