This episode originally aired on 9/29/12. Think you know the truth about what happens when the cameras go off and the rock stars head home?

What happens when the face of your band walks away just as you’re conquering the metal world? For Angus McSix, the answer wasn’t just a new singer—it was a complete rewrite of their reality. Seeb joins Chris Akin to pull back the curtain on the Arch-Demon’s master plan.

Why is George Lynch suddenly dropping nuclear bombs on Don Dokken while they are still sharing the same concert stages? From shocking accusations of riff-theft to a bizarre claim that Don plagiarized a deep-track Judas Priest song and called it his own, the “Lynch vs. Dokken” war just reached a level of toxicity we haven’t seen in 40 years. Are these the desperate rants of a frustrated artist, or is Don Dokken actually the master manipulator George claims him to be? Neeley and Chris expose the

Think your local rock station is “edgy”? On January 10th, 2009, Neeley and Chris Akin showed the world how it’s actually done. We love the guys over at the Rockin’ Metal Revival, but their “Ask Jim Bob” feature was a slow-pitch softball begging to be knocked out of the park. Only the CMS has the balls to call up their friends and leave the most disgusting, hilarious, and career-ending messages ever recorded.

Is the frontman of the “New Wave of American Heavy Metal” trade-in his growl for a telescope and a bag of weed? Randy Blythe is hitting 55, and suddenly he’s more worried about the sun exploding in a billion years than he is about melting faces in the pit! While the mainstream media bows down to this “philosophical evolution,” we’re asking the questions nobody else has the balls to: Has the King of Richmond officially lost his edge, or is Into Oblivion the beginning of the end for Lamb of God?

Why does the mainstream media treat every “expert” opinion like the gospel when they’re usually just some guy with a microphone and zero taste? We’re peeling back the curtain on the $100 million Twisted Sister collapse—is Dee Snider really “resigning” for health reasons, or is there a much darker industry play happening behind the scenes?

Is the “Dirt Talk” era officially dead, or is the Rev just one step away from a total psychiatric meltdown? For months, Neeley and Chris stayed silent, waiting to see if anyone actually gave a damn about the competition—and the results are more pathetic than we ever imagined. Why is a certain host huffing, puffing, and losing his “balls” over a single chat room comment?

Anthrax legend Charlie Benante joins the show to rip the lid off the “dark period” of heavy metal and why record companies almost choked the life out of rock and roll.
