    The Kiss "Landlocked" Con, Megadeth's Ozzy Snub, and Black Sabbath's Big Screen Return Jul 31, 2025
    Show notes

    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.

    Rick Hunolt Isn’t Interested in Your “Supergroup” Fantasy Jul 25, 2025
    Show notes

    When Rick Hunolt left Exodus, many expected him to do what most legacy metal guys do—lean on the past. Instead, he built Nefarious, a band that’s heavy, fresh, and far from formulaic.

    In this in-depth interview, Rick talks with Chris Akin about crafting something new from the Bay Area thrash blueprint without recycling Exodus riffs. They also cover the friendly vibe between Exodus members, why DieHumane is still alive, and the surprising power behind Nefarious’s debut Addicted to Power.

    SHOCKING: BACH'S LOW STREAMING & HIS WILD DEFENSE! Jul 24, 2025
    Show notes

    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.
