Is Vinnie Vincent the biggest grifter in rock history, or is he actually holding an “elite” masterpiece hostage? The “Ankh Warrior” is demanding nearly $4,000 for a single album, and the CMS boys are tearing his “Guitar-mageddon” grift to shreds. Meanwhile, Metal Church is imploding as Mark Lopes exposes the “cowardice” of being ghosted by Kurt Vanderhoof. Why are legendary bands acting like high schoolers, and why is Gen Z too “soft” to work for a living? Neeley and Chris have the answers the mainstream media is too terrified to broadcast.

Why did one of the most influential guitarists in rock history spend decades running away from the very songs that made him a star? Was Sammy Hagar’s solo success actually the final nail in the coffin for Montrose’s legacy as a “classic rock staple”? Keith St. John joins Chris Akin to pull back the curtain on the creative differences, the “business moves” that defied logic, and what it really feels like to step into the vocal shoes of a legend. The real reason this band isn’t played every 30 minutes on the radio might not be what you think.

How much "amazing" can one person take before their brain turns to mush? Neeley and Chris are back to expose the absolute fraud of the so-called "Metal Experts" and their latest drunken disaster recorded at a bar.
