Classic Metal Show

Everybody keeps saying they want “real rock” back.

Then a band like Dirty Kings shows up with twin guitars, big riffs, live-in-the-room energy, and people still act like nothing good has been made in 30 years.

SUPPORT THE BAND BY SHOPPING ON THEIR BANDCAMP:

That’s where this conversation takes a turn.

Andrew Sample joins Chris Akin to talk about Dirty Kings 3, but it quickly becomes something much bigger than a record promotion interview. They get into why fans keep saying there’s no new music worth hearing, why the touring business doesn’t develop younger bands anymore, why legacy acts stopped pulling up the next generation, and why independent bands have to do everything themselves.

If you’re tired of hearing people complain that rock is dead, this conversation might change your mind.

Maybe the music isn’t missing.

Maybe people just stopped looking.

What happens when a veteran hard rock bassist gets sick of the music industry grind and decides to launch a parody clothing line for toddlers? You get a wildly offbeat discussion about rock parodies, licensing loopholes, and the absolute absurdity of selling heavy metal gear to infants. From touring with massive 80s acts to launching a bizarre side hustle, this interview takes a hilariously unexpected turn when the hosts realize exactly who they’re talking to—and why the whole idea might just be crazy enough to work.

This list isn’t about the worst records of the year. These are the albums that had every reason to be great—and somehow still managed to leave a bad taste. Some just played it safe. Others completely missed the mark. Either way, these are the biggest letdowns of 2026 so far.

What started as a discussion about Superjoint quickly turned into something much bigger.

He addressed the backlash. He explained his perspective. He apologized. But was that enough?

A lot of fans still aren’t sure what to make of this conversation.

Jason Newsted is back on stage, but it isn’t the heavy metal comeback everyone wanted. His latest project with the Chop House Band has people scratching their heads and turning off the speakers. It turns out that trying to turn classic tracks into weird, non-metal acoustic interpretations while using death metal vocals doesn’t exactly work. On the flip side, Airbourne is dropping a new record that proves some bands still know exactly how to copy the AC/DC blueprint and turn the volume up to eleven. We break down the absolute trainwreck of one former rock icon and the massive stadium anthems of another.

Jon Bon Jovi is back on stage after major throat surgery, but the internet is already losing its mind over the footage. The guys break down the multi-night Madison Square Garden residency to figure out if he is actually delivering real vocals or just talk-singing through a massive wall of pitch enhancement. Meanwhile, Richie Sambora is on an absolute tear on X, claiming his account was hacked twice in two weeks while dropping brutal gems about John’s “plastic throat”. Is it a bitter ex-bandmember drunk texting from a theater gig, or is there an ugly truth being hidden from the casual fans?
