Classic Metal Show

Bob Nalbandian calls into the show, but the technology immediately starts fighting back.

First there’s the connection. Then there’s Skype. Then Bob can’t hear Chris. Then Toby can’t hear either. Meanwhile, Neeley and Chris can hear Bob perfectly well.

What follows is an increasingly hilarious attempt to make a simple conversation actually work, complete with repeated requests to speak louder, confused exchanges and Neeley eventually screaming questions at the pair.

Carl Sentance has played with some serious names — Krokus, Geezer Butler, Don Airey and others — but getting people to know Carl Sentance instead of the bands on his résumé is another story.

In this interview with Neeley and Chris Akin, Sentance talks about finally making the kind of straightforward rock record he’s always wanted to make with Mind Doctor, working with Don Airey and members of Thunder, his time with Krokus, meeting Marc Storace, why Round 13 didn’t sound like the Krokus he remembered, and the reality of trying to get promoters to sell tickets on his name alone.

And then there’s Lemmy. Sentance explains why Motörhead’s frontman influenced him less through music than through the simple lesson of keeping it real.

Then things get even weirder. David Lee Roth is doing David Lee Roth things, Howard 101 is getting the axe, and Neeley has plenty to say about his Dokken weekend. There’s a lot packed into this one, and some of it is guaranteed to piss somebody off.

A mystery guest is coming, Skid Row rum finally gets cracked open, and things go downhill from there. Then the conversation takes some seriously unexpected turns involving cheating, old Korea stories, dating disasters, questionable spending decisions and a Netflix fight that apparently pissed off an entire building.

This is one of those episodes where the conversation starts somewhere normal and ends up absolutely nowhere near where you thought it was going.

Taking over a morning radio show on a holiday sounds simple enough, until you start picking apart how rock stars actually died and why the regular hosts left behind a completely unhinged theme song. Neeley and Chris Akin step in to fill the void, immediately trashing the morning routine, mocking local radio gigs, and diving straight into the bizarre circumstances surrounding a famous frontman’s death. Plus, how did a Stryper singer end up fronting one of the biggest classic rock bands in history?

Black Sabbath was supposed to scare your parents, not send you to the ballet.

This episode goes straight into the bizarre world of AI-generated rock graphics, a Black Sabbath ballet that has the guys wondering whether metal has officially been dragged into the cultural blender, and one absolutely insane trip down memory lane involving Herb Alpert, General Hospital, and the song “Rise.”

Somewhere along the way, the conversation goes completely off the rails. Naturally.

A massive four-octave vocal range, a 50-piece orchestra, and a classic ballad sitting in a vault for three decades. What made a legendary frontman keep one of his absolute best vocal performances buried while a pop megastar dominated the airwaves with the exact same track? From dodging industry politics to randomly tracking duets with grunge and metal heavyweights on a whim, this sit-down pulls back the curtain on pure vocal power, studio chaos, and why streaming pennies are killing the music scene.

Body Count gets David Gilmour. David Gilmour gets involved with “Comfortably Numb.” Sounds like a monster collaboration, right?

Well... maybe not.

The new cover gets absolutely dissected, Ice-T’s explanation gets put under the microscope, and the question becomes pretty damn simple: why did these guys bother? Then the show takes a hard left into a former Mr. Bungle musician’s murder conviction and the increasingly insane business of paid VIP meet-and-greets.

And if you’re dropping thousands of dollars to meet a rock star, you might want to hear this one before you hand over your credit card.

Van Halen fans are still fighting the same damn war, Sammy Hagar is still getting blamed for everything, and somehow a T-shirt has become a matter of personal loyalty.

Then the conversation gets even more ridiculous: why do classic bands refuse to walk away, why are artists destroying their own legacies, and why does the show need multiple backup homes just to stay uncensored?

Add in Dave Grohl, Alice Cooper, Eddie Trunk rumors, a caller with a head injury, and the eternal battle over where the hell people should actually watch the show.

This one gets messy.
