The mainstream media wants you to believe these legacy acts are “safe,” but we’re uncovering the truth about the “Fleetwood Mac” clones they’re trying to shove down your throat. You think you know the story behind the injury, but wait until you hear what really happened when the lights went down in Kent.

January 25, 2026 BEST OF: Is Chris Akin Dying? The Most Pathetic Night in CMS History!
Is Chris Akin actually falling apart, or is this the most legendary bender in the history of the CMS Palace? While the mainstream media pushes "wellness" and "moderation," Neeley and Chris prove that 14 drinks, Jell-O shots, and a $60 steak are a recipe for total carnage. How did a night that started with "libations" end with twelve hours of retching and a desperate plea for a piece of bread? You won't believe the graphic texts sent to Neeley’s sister or the "Paparazzi" showdown that almost was—hit play to hear the raw, uncensored aftermath!

January 24, 2026 CMS Classic: WARRANT’S “QUEEN” ATTACKS CMS: The Most Pathetic Fan Mail Ever?
Is the rock industry officially being run by "super-fans" with zero education and even less self-respect? Neeley and Chris just received a "bitch slap" from a self-proclaimed "Warrant Queen," and it’s the most embarrassing display of "industry" power we've ever seen. Does this delusional gatekeeper actually have the power to ban the CMS from interviewing Warrant, or is the mainstream media just too scared to show you how desperate these 80s camps have become? You won't believe the "deal" she tried to cut to keep us quiet.

January 23, 2026 Is "Infirmary Kids" The Worst Band In Human History?
Here’s a blast from your past from November of 2012. Is this the moment that finally breaks Chris Akin? We just got handed a CD from a local “artist” who actually thinks he hit a home run, but the truth is so god-awful it’s causing figurative physical medical emergencies in the chat room. Why is the mainstream music industry—and even your “friends”—lying to your face about what talent actually sounds like? Neeley and Chris are the only ones with the balls to put this garbage on blast and ask the real question: How much whiskey does it take to make this sound like music, and would you rather bang the hottest chick on Earth if it meant listening to this trash forever? Hit play and witness the total annihilation of a “career” before it even starts.

January 23, 2026 Ian Hunter Is A WALKING CORPSE? Neeley & Chris UNLOAD!
Think you’ve seen it all in the world of “classic rock”? Think again. After a listener sent in a “fan photo” with Cleveland’s supposed hero Ian Hunter, Neeley and Chris realize the mainstream media has been lying to you for decades. Is this a rock star or a guest at a haunted house? How does a guy with one song still have a career, and why does he look like he’s “fly fishing for children” in a schoolyard? You won’t believe the “Crypt Keeper” transformation until you hear the guys tear this apart—get ready for the most offensive roast in CMS history.

January 23, 2026 Was GNR Actually "Great" Or Just A Hit-Or-Miss Trainwreck?
Recorded live on September 29th, 2012, Chris Akin and Jon Drake dive into the vault of rock history to expose the chaotic reality of Guns N’ Roses. From a mysterious 5-hour club set under a fake name to the grueling 3 AM finishes that nearly cost Chris his job, we’re tearing down the mainstream myth of the “perfect” tour. Did Axl Rose actually have the pipes to last all night, or was the “Use Your Illusion” era just one giant, sloppy gamble? Stop listening to the sanitized industry version of events and hear what it was really like to be in the trenches when GNR and Skid Row were at each other’s throats.

January 23, 2026 Who Is Jake Bannerman? Neeley and Chris Unmask the Most "Out of Control" Author on Earth!
Recorded on September 22nd, 2012, this classic segment marks the return of a legendary CMS antagonist. Are you ready to have your soul seared by the “purveyor of terror”, or is this just another desperate cry for attention from a guy the CMS already ran off the internet? Neeley and Chris dive into the dark, bizarre, and frankly confusing world of J.S. Bannerman—the artist formerly known as “The Rev”. Is he a master wordsmith pushing the boundaries of human psyche , or just a guy with a Scrabble board and a serious case of religious trauma? You won’t believe the “prose” being peddled here , and you certainly won’t believe where he’s hiding the pitchfork.

January 23, 2026 A New Era of Brotherhood: Why Don Dokken and Jon Levin Are Stronger Than Ever!
On September 12, 2012, the legendary Jon Levin joined the show to reveal a side of Dokken the world has never seen. While the industry is full of backstabbing, Levin describes a transformative “brotherhood” with Don Dokken that has redefined their chemistry and birthed their most powerful work to date. Why did Don send Jon a private, “endearing” letter that changed everything, and is the band finally reaching its creative peak just as they hint at a final curtain call? You won’t believe the level of respect and artistic passion driving this legendary machine—hit play to hear the real story of Dokken’s rebirth.

January 23, 2026 Is Vinnie Vincent’s New Album Actually Real? (Or Just Another Grift?)
Is Vinnie Vincent the biggest grifter in rock history, or is he actually holding an “elite” masterpiece hostage? The “Ankh Warrior” is demanding nearly $4,000 for a single album, and the CMS boys are tearing his “Guitar-mageddon” grift to shreds. Meanwhile, Metal Church is imploding as Mark Lopes exposes the “cowardice” of being ghosted by Kurt Vanderhoof. Why are legendary bands acting like high schoolers, and why is Gen Z too “soft” to work for a living? Neeley and Chris have the answers the mainstream media is too terrified to broadcast.

How much “amazing” can one person take before their brain turns to mush? Neeley and Chris are back to expose the absolute fraud of the so-called “Metal Experts” and their latest drunken disaster recorded at a bar. Is the mainstream media actually letting these guys represent the genre, or are they just paying bar tabs with fan donations while the audio sounds like it was recorded in a trash can? You won’t believe the “inside scoop” they claim to have on Ace Frehley—is it a breakthrough or just a total “stenographer” lie?
