    Sebastian Bach’s LIES & The "Overboard" Cruise Return Jan 09, 2026
    Show notes

    "Come on, Belinda... let's see if those lips are really sealed. Sealed around my dick. Damn right. Either pair."

    What the hell is wrong with these rock stars? Sebastian Bach is doing interviews claiming he has zero curiosity about the guys who replaced him in Skid Row. Neely and Chris aren’t buying it for a second—everyone has that morbid curiosity.

    Then we’ve got Taime Downe. His girlfriend jumped overboard on a cruise , and he’s already booked for the next one. Neeley says dodge the boat, bro! We also rip on the Go-Go’s acting their age and Neil Turbin’s absolute trainwreck of an interview where he didn’t even know Bach had a new album out. 🔥🤘

    TIMESTAMPS:

    14:45 - Bach claims he’s never heard Solinger or Gronwall 23:00 - The most awkward interview clip ever 38:44 - Taime Downe is going back on a cruise!

    CMS HALL OF FAME: Is Chris Akin The New Lead Singer Of Dokken? (The Lost 2002 Tapes) Jan 08, 2026
    Show notes

    GET DOKKEN - THE ELEKTRA YEARS BOX SET ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4qHjDwm

    What happened when Chris Akin found a “lost” tape from 2002 that he forgot even existed? Why is the most uncensored man in metal terrified and embarrassed to let the fans hear his “vicious” alternate reality version of a Dokken classic? Is this the most pathetic vocal performance in the history of the show, or has Chris finally revealed his “true” talentless rockstar self while fueled by a 72-hour bender? You won’t believe the “c-bomb” laden lyrics Chris wedged into this song—and why he claims Don Dokken has been doing it wrong for twenty years.

    – Chris Puts Himself in the Barrel– The “Weekend Bender” Magazine Formula– “Just Got Lucky” (The Hateful & Drunk Version)– “You’re A C*nt Not In Disguise”– The Chuck Billy & James Hetfield Rip-off– “F*cking Right, I Need A Beer”

    Is Song Sung Blue Actually Good, Or Have We Just Settled For Trash? Jan 07, 2026
    Show notes

    Why are you still wasting 15 hours of your life on binge-watching shows that go nowhere? Chris Akin went into Song Sung Blue expecting a generic musical biopic, but what he found was a “roller coaster” of raw human emotion that left him questioning why Hollywood has lost the art of the character arc. Is it possible for a story about a tribute band to be more authentic than the “trash” the big studios are feeding us? The real truth about whether this film is a “Netflix and chill” masterpiece or just another date night cliché is waiting inside.Timestamps01:02 – The Binge-Watch Burnout: Why 15 Hours Is Too Long 01:48 – Not Your Typical Biopic: The Springsteen Comparison 02:45 – Lightning and Thunder: The Tragedy Behind the Tribute 03:38 – The Lost Art of Character Building 06:24 – Final Verdict: Is It Worth Your Date Night?🚀 SUPPORT THE SHOW: * Rumble: https://www.rumble.com/c/cmsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@classicmetalshowLocals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.comSubstack: https://cmspn.substack.comX: https://www.x.com/cmsrocks🎙️ ABOUT CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS...

    Alligator Pants & The Great Ozzy Rip-Off 🤘 Jan 07, 2026
    Show notes

    [Sponsor: Ozzy Osbourne - MEMOIRS OF A MADMAN - https://amzn.to/4lXWhAI]

    David Lee Roth is back with a new song called “Alligator Pants,” and Neely is losing his mind over how much of a “nimrod” Dave has become. It’s a weird, noisy mess that sounds like a depression-era dirt farmer’s fever dream.

    But the real anger this week is aimed at the Ozzman. Ozzy admits he can’t walk and will only do “bits and pieces” for his hometown reunion show—but only AFTER the rubes already paid for tickets.

    Timestamps:

    * 00:06:40 – DLR “Alligator Pants” Reaction

    * 00:11:41 – DLR “Forgiveness” (It stinks)

    * 00:26:45 – Ozzy’s “Bits and Pieces” Scam

    Why Movie Theaters Will Be Officially Dead by 2027 Jan 06, 2026
    Show notes

    Is your local movie theater about to become a ghost town? Chris Akin breaks down a massive industry shift that could leave 50% of theaters out of business in the next two years. With streaming giants reportedly ready to gut the exclusive theatrical window, we have to ask: why would anyone spend $100 for a night out when the same movie hits your couch in 17 days? The “traditional” way of watching movies is being dismantled right in front of us—find out who is holding the sledgehammer and why the social experience of cinema is being traded for a $1.50 bag of microwave popcorn.

    Metal Up Your Ass: MRI Edition & The End of Masculinity 🤘 Jan 06, 2026
    Show notes

    “Bunch of electricity going up her ass. That’s probably what happened. It could have burned. It probably burned her from the inside. It probably baked that thing. Cooked her colon.”

    [Sponsor: Blackout Coffee - https://www.blackoutcoffee.com?p=BoNofhazE → Code CHRIA20 for 20% off]

    What happens when you mix a high-powered magnet with a “rectal passenger”? Total medical carnage. We’re unpacking the FDA report of the year.

    But that’s not even the most offensive thing we saw this week. Jerry Kogel sent us a news clip of a “fur daddy” in the Palisades who is more upset about a Pomeranian named Oreo than his house burning to the ground. He’s literally walking through fire zones with a squeaky toy. We’re losing the war with China, folks.

    The Best Of The Classic Metal Show 12/27/25 Jan 05, 2026
    Show notes

    "She got an MRI and it fucking lit her up. Yeah, well, of course. Metallic butt plug inside herself."

    [Sponsor: Blackout Coffee - https://www.blackoutcoffee.com?p=BoNofhazE → Code CHRIA20 for 20% off]

    We’re back and we’re going filthy, kids. This week, we unpack the story of a 22-year-old who got “metal up her ass” the hard way. If you think that’s bad, wait until you see the guy calling his Pomeranian his “daughter” on the nightly news while wearing a COVID mask in a smoke-filled fire zone. It’s the most faggoty thing we’ve ever seen.

    We also tackle:

    * David Lee Roth living in an alternate universe where “Alligator Pants” are cool.

    * Ozzy admitting he can’t walk and will only do “bits and pieces” for his final show.

    * Tesla’s Brian Wheat starting a new band with Tommy Skeo despite years of “hating” him.

    The Dark Meaning Behind The Hara's "Psycho Killer" Jan 02, 2026
    Show notes

    Dive into the stories behind two songs from The Hara’s new album, The Fallout! The band reveals that the fan-favorite “Psycho Killer” was inspired by a simple, eerie synth and riff. They explain that the “dark and twisted” lyrics are a personification of the “darkness and the shit that goes on in our brains”—a very deep take on mental health. They then discuss their successful single “Violence,” detailing the concept of a toxic, two-way relationship and how their label helped them feature the perfect guest vocalist, Beth from As December Falls.

    Don’t miss The Fallout out on January 23rd! Buy the album or some exclusive merch at TheHaraBand.com.

    COLD-BLOODED MURDER CONFESSION?! Uncle Jesse Interrogation! 😱💀 Jan 02, 2026
    Show notes

    “I shot my wife and her mom and her stepdad. Cold-blooded murder this afternoon. Each twice in the head. Even the detective doesn't know what to do with that! He just up and gave it up right there!”

    [Sponsor: Sammy Hagar & The Best Of All Worlds Band - The Residency - https://amzn.to/48gl3qj]

    THE YEAR-END CHAOS: The final show of 2025 is an absolute train wreck of gruesome true crime and rock history! We start with the insane story of how Queen rejected Sylvester Stallone, leading to the creation of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” But then things get DARK. Neeley breaks down the most bone-chilling interrogation ever where a guy nicknamed “Uncle Jesse” confesses to a triple homicide in under 90 seconds. Plus, a horrific Michigan “womb-raider” murder case that will make you lose your goddamn lunch.
