Neeley and Chris listen to Eddie Trunk’s bizarre reaction to the death of Ozzy Osbourne—where instead of honoring the metal icon, he takes the moment to apologize for not being on the air and, somehow, makes it all about Eddie.

Was this tone-deaf? Self-important? The guys don’t hold back.

On this episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW, Neeley and Chris dive into two highly debatable topics that are sure to spark conversation. First up, they dissect the surprising revelation of Bret Michaels' meet-and-greet, advertised with a handwritten sign taped to a wall, priced between $400 and $600. The guys engage in a lively debate, with Neeley suggesting it's likely a venue decision, while Chris passionately argues that an artist of Michaels' caliber should never be associated with something so "cheap and lame." It's a candid look at artist branding and fan interaction in the modern music industry.

The discussion then takes a sharp turn as they react to the astonishing news of a soccer star in Spain under investigation for dwarf tossing. Chris and Neeley have a field day with this bizarre and controversial story, offering their unfiltered takes and demonstrating why THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW isn't afraid to tackle even the most outlandish headlines.

SPONSOR: ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY... By Chris Akin - https://amzn.to/3SRP3Bq

This week on CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS... INTERVIEWS, Chris Akin had the privilege of sitting down with a true titan of heavy music, Frédéric Leclercq. Many of you know Frédéric from his incredible work with Kreator, but in this episode, we dive deep into his other powerful project, Sinsaenum.

Frédéric joined us to discuss Sinsaenum's latest release, "In Devastation," an album that is profoundly personal. He shared how the raw emotional pain of losing his father, as well as his dear friend and bandmate Joey Jordison (the legendary drummer of Slipknot and Murderdolls), became a driving force behind the songwriting.

We explore the sensitive topic of how their new drummer handled the immense task of filling the shoes of a legend like Jordison, the exciting new elements they've incorporated into the Sinsaenum sound, and the realities of touring around Frédéric's incredibly busy schedule. This is a conversation that goes beyond the music, touching on grief, creativity, and the enduring power of friendship.

This post is brought to you by Amazon, your go-to for Sinsaenum’s IN DEVASTATION on Vinyl - https://amzn.to/3GsaGpp.

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.
