Classic Metal Show

The new Megadeth single “Tipping Point” drops, and the hosts do NOT hold back! 😬 Is this truly the final album, and is the single good enough to go out on? They tear into the track for being “tremendously average” and “repetitive” and then hilariously impersonate Dave Mustaine explaining why Megadeth will inevitably put out another “final” album. This is a must-see for all thrash metal fans!

Chris Akin delivers news about the BulletBoys, with original drummer Jimmy DeAnda rejoining the band, alongside bassist Lonnie Vincent. He notes the band’s history of high turnover and the alleged difficulties with Marq Torien. While happy for the semi-reunion, Chris is skeptical about its longevity, especially since guitarist Mick Sweda has no desire to return. The bigger take-away is Chris’s controversial opinion that the “hair metal” genre is dying fast, with smaller shows and audiences who have simply “run its course” after seeing the bands multiple times over the last 15 years.

In this urgent episode of CMS News, Chris Akin shares the absolutely devastating news that KISS’s original lead guitarist, Ace Frehley, has passed away at the age of 74. The legend died after being hospitalized for a brain bleed following a fall and his family made the difficult decision to turn off his ventilator. Chris pays tribute to “Space Ace,” acknowledging his enormous influence on guitar players (alongside Eddie Van Halen) and the indelible mark he and KISS left on rock and roll, setting the tone for the 70s and early hair metal. It’s a profoundly sad day as we continue to lose our rock and roll heroes.

Kristen Vaughn, an attractive mechanic from Indiana, was fired from her job after her co-worker discovered her OnlyFans account. Five years later, she’s a self-proclaimed multi-millionaire, joking, “thank you so much for firing me”. The hosts break down the absurd HR meeting and the hypocrisy of the workplace, as they debate the merits of her career choice and the unexpected fortune that came from a layoff. We ask: Was the company worried about sexual harassment or just the distraction?

How far can you push the envelope before your career is over? 🤔 We look back at the infamous Don Imus controversy, where a single comment about a basketball team led to a massive firestorm and set a new bar for political correctness in media. The hosts explore how the changing social climate at the time led to Imus’s suspension and apology tour, establishing the context for modern cancel culture.

Chris Akin dives into hardcore news, praising Agnostic Front, calling them the number one band in the format. He talks about their new album, Echoes in Eternity, set for release on November 7th, 2025, via Reigning Phoenix Music. The big news is their new single, “Matter of Life and Death,” which features a guest appearance by Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run DMC. Chris loves the collaboration, noting that DMC has worked with other metal bands like Generation Kill and Patriarchs in Black, and calls the crossover perfect for the hardcore tempo. He also highly recommends the album, calling it one of the heaviest Agnostic Front records ever.
