CMS LIVE! 7/4/26: Jon Schaffer's Predicament, Phil Lewis' Look, Vets Hate False Praise and More!

Let’s be honest about what’s actually happening here. Jon Schaffer is fresh out of a federal plea deal and immediately tracking an anti-government record. Is anyone actually buying this, or is it just the ultimate grift to recoup legal fees? Meanwhile, Nikki Sixx is taking shots at Godsmack’s legacy while his own band relies on pre-recorded tracks to survive a stadium tour. This is where the story gets messy. We look closer at Phil Lewis cutting his hair, the absolute breakdown of the casino circuit reality, and why the old guard is terrified of losing their grip. A lot of people are completely missing the real point of these stunts.

Buster Posey Just Drew A Line In The Sand

Sports reporters tried to lay an absolute trap for Buster Posey over his players' personal choices. They expected an immediate corporate apology—but they didn't get one. This standoff just exposed exactly how broken the relationship between sports media and real fans actually is.

If you’re watching this here, you’re already late.
The full episode, exclusive third segment, and early interviews are already on Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com

Let's not pretend the media actually cared about baseball during this press conference. They came looking for a very specific, headline-ready quote to crucify an executive and alienate traditional fans. When Buster Posey shut down the narrative by sticking strictly to the game, he didn't just protect his locker room—he exposed the entire corporate playbook. We break down the exact moment the media realized they weren't getting their apology, why sports culture is being cannibalized by corporate sponsorships, and how the entire ...

Gus G Joins King Diamond! Andy LaRocque Is Out!

KING DIAMOND is thrilled to announce the addition of guitar virtuoso Gus G. (Firewind, ex-Ozzy Osbourne) to the band's lineup. Gus G. joins as guitarist and will compose, record, and tour with KING DIAMOND going forward, marking an exciting new chapter in the band's storied history.

The band extends their deepest gratitude and utmost respect to Andy LaRocque, whose extraordinary 40-year contribution to KING DIAMOND has left a permanent and irreplaceable mark on the band's legacy and on heavy metal as a whole. Andy's musicianship, dedication, and artistry have been an essential part of what makes this band what it is, and that will never be forgotten.

Comments KING DIAMOND, "It's a big honor for me to welcome Gus G. as our new guitarist. Gus will still continue with all his current projects, Firewind, solo project, etc. No restrictions, just careful planning. We are already working with Gus and I simply can't wait for you to hear all the new KING DIAMOND music with him playing guitar on it! STAY HEAVY — ...

Philip H. Anselmo: The Pantera Question Phil Couldn't Escape (2015)

Back in 2015, Phil Anselmo was asked the question everyone wanted answered.

Could Pantera ever come back?

His response was surprisingly thoughtful, surprisingly honest, and years later it may raise even more questions than it answered.

What changed between then and now?

Some fans think Phil was protecting Pantera's legacy.

Others think these comments became impossible to maintain as time passed.

Not everybody agrees.

Is Jason Newsted's New Music A Total Disaster?

Jason Newsted is back on stage, but it isn’t the heavy metal comeback everyone wanted. His latest project with the Chop House Band has people scratching their heads and turning off the speakers. It turns out that trying to turn classic tracks into weird, non-metal acoustic interpretations while using death metal vocals doesn’t exactly work. On the flip side, Airbourne is dropping a new record that proves some bands still know exactly how to copy the AC/DC blueprint and turn the volume up to eleven. We break down the absolute trainwreck of one former rock icon and the massive stadium anthems of another.

MINISTRY Announces Final Album Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery), Shares “Burned Out” Single

Ministry has announced that their upcoming album Hate To Go (Take Out Or Delivery) will be their final studio release. It is scheduled for October 30 via Cleopatra Records.

Al Jourgensen stated:

“I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from ‘With Sympathy’ to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”

The album features a final collaboration with former member Paul Barker on the closing track “We’re Still Here.” Current lineup contributions come from Monte Pittman, Cesar Soto, Paul D’Amour, John Bechdel, and Pepe Clarke Magaña.
