This week’s Geekwire is packed with rock news, controversy, tour trouble, and some genuinely cool developments.

We discuss the cancellation of an Australian Ace Frehley tribute tour amid mounting issues surrounding Silverback Touring and promoter Danny Bazzi. We also cover stolen Accept gear, Megadeth’s last-minute Lisbon cancellation, and the fan reaction that followed.

In KISS news, a classic 1976 Anaheim concert is finally getting an official live release. We also congratulate past guest and friend of the show Andrew Sgambati on being hired by KISS for video work.

Elsewhere, the first official Black Sabbath book is on the way, Mötley Crüe bring some deep cuts back to the stage, and Nikki Sixx fires back at Shannon Larkin. Scott Ian and Gary Holt defend Yungblud, while Rudy Sarzo addresses the use of AI on a new song.

We also cover big updates from Def Leppard, Ugly Kid Joe, and much more.

It’s the week in rock and metal news—filtered through the Decibel Geek lens.

We hope you enjoy Geekwire and SHARE with a friend!
