Is the “Starchild” actually a well-oiled robot repeating the same lines for four decades? Neeley and Chris dig into the archives to prove that Paul Stanley hasn’t had an original thought on stage since 1973. Does the mainstream rock media actually believe this “Public Service Announcement” routine is organic, or are they just too scared to call out the KISS machine for being a total scripted sham? You won’t believe how identical these rants are until you hear the side-by-side evidence—hit play and see the mask slip. This episode originally aired on 9/12/09.

Is Harry Chapin actually the most “Death Metal” songwriter to ever exist? Neeley and Chris Akin dive into a 10-minute lyrical trainwreck titled “Bummer” that features lead poisoning, “killing slants,” and “mainlining skag”—making modern cancel culture look like a playground. But that’s just the start of the chaos. 🖕We also witness Chris Akin’s fastest ticket to hell as he pranks a “God-fearing” karaoke singer into dedicating Dokken’s “Alone Again” to a fake dying brother named Wes. Plus, the most pathetic meltdown in radio history as “The Rev” from Dirt Talk loses his mind over a single chat room comment and begs Eddie Trunk for a rumble he’s too scared to have face-to-face. Finally, we meet the kings of Blog Talk Radio: “Big Mike,” who thinks Starbucks laces coffee beans with “artificial caffeine,” and “Chris P. Bacon,” a 16-year-old who claims heavy metal was invented by 1930s Delta Blues guitarists with “bleeding fingers.” It’s a scorched-earth tour through the darkest, dumbest, and most offensive corners of pop culture. 🎸🔥🚀 SUPPORT THE SHOW:Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/c/cms YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@classicmetalshow Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com Substack: https://cmspn.substack.com X: https://www.x.com/cmsrocks🤘 THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW: Unfiltered.

Is there anything more pathetic than a “one-hit wonder” trying to stay relevant with a 22-song greatest hits album? We dug into the history of Tommy Two-Tone, and what we found is a bizarre rabbit hole of identity crises, Ozzy Osbourne connections, and a phone number that refuses to die. Are the “mainstream” legends we worship actually just lucky hacks, or is there a “Snake Man” conspiracy hiding in the shadows?

Think you know why Chris DeGarmo really vanished from the Queensryche legacy? The mainstream media wants to paint a picture of “happy cameos,” but Neeley and Chris get Michael Wilton to reveal the cold, hard truth about the commitment it takes to keep the machine rolling. While the industry pretends every “Mindcrime” performance is just another paycheck, Wilton exposes what happens when a band has to carry the weight of a legend while a founding member stays on the sidelines. Is Queensryche a “well-oiled machine” or is the real “raw” power hiding in Wilton’s side projects? You need to hear what Wilton says about Lemmy’s “influence” before you believe another word of the industry’s polished PR garbage.GET SOULBENDER’S II HERE: https://amzn.to/4qZQwFn* Why the “Mindcrime” Hype Saved a Dying Career* Soulbender: The “Raw” Side Wilton Hides from Queensryche* The Ripper Owens Connection: Making Metal via MP3* The DeGarmo “Cameo” Bullsh*t Exposed* Lemmy’s Life Lesson: “Don’t Do Drugs, Kids”🚀 SUPPORT THE SHOW:Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/c/cms YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@classicmetalshow Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com Substack: https://cmspn.substack.comX: https://www.x.com/cmsrocks🤘 THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW: Unfiltered.

Was Geoff Tate a musical dictator, or was he the victim of a spineless, backstabbing coup? For months, the mainstream rock press has fed you the narrative of “the split,” but Chris Akin finally gets the voice of Queensryche to reveal the “underhanded” secret meetings and lawyer letters that burned a 30-year legacy to the ground. Are the remaining members of Queensryche desperately lying to justify their actions, or is Tate truly the only one with the vision to keep the name alive? You need to hear this scorched-earth perspective before you decide which camp gets your loyalty—or if the band you loved is officially dead.GET QUEENSRYCHE’S FREQUENCY UNKNOWN ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4qkrYWm– “It’s Madness”: Geoff Slams the “Dignity-Free” Split – The Underhanded Coup: Secret Meetings & Attorney Letters – The “Musical Dictator” Lie: Geoff Calls Out the Band’s Desperation – Two Queensryches?

Mainstream media wants you to believe Geoff Tate is assembling a “supergroup,” but the truth is far more pathetic. How does a guitarist join a legendary band without ever meeting the singer or knowing who the hell his bandmates are? Is this a legitimate new chapter for Queensryche, or just a desperate “pay-to-play” scheme featuring a ragtag group of guys who can’t even stand each other? Neeley and Chris expose the “chemistry” lie that every other outlet is too afraid to touch.GET QUEENSRYCHE’S FREQUENCY UNKNOWN ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4qkrYWm- The “Minute and a Half” Megadeth Legend - Why This Lineup Is An Insult To Your Intelligence - Mike Portnoy: The Bullet Geoff Tate Dodged (Or Missed?) - The Interview From A Bathroom Stall: Drover’s Massive Confusion - Half-Price Tickets and Free Dinner: The Death Of A Legend 🚀 SUPPORT THE SHOW:Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/c/cms YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@classicmetalshow Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com Substack: https://cmspn.substack.com X: https://www.x.com/cmsrocks🤘 THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW: Unfiltered.
