DESCRIPTION

Chris and Neeley are back and they are absolutely unloading on the state of the “interview” world. Bobby Blotzer is back in the news after a marathon sit-down with the Hair Metal Guru, and the guys are asking the tough questions: How does anyone sit through three hours of this? From the absolute legal clusterfuck that is RATT’s corporate structure to the delusional “closure” tours Blotzer thinks he’s entitled to, nothing is off-limits. Plus, the guys rip into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s latest desperate move to stay relevant by nominating Iron Maiden while simultaneously disrespecting their entire history. If you want the truth about why your favorite 80s bands are broke and dysfunctional, you’re in the right place.
