Mainstream metal media is drooling over the "lights and lasers," but they’re too damn scared to ask the real question: Is Tool flushing their legacy down a Vegas toilet? Danny Carey says they’re the "perfect band" for the Sphere, but is this just a massive cash grab to fund a 16K ego trip? We’re diving into the secret negotiations that have the "Octopus" getting vertigo and the fans getting ripped off. Only the CMS has the balls to tell you why this "cinematic experience" might be the final nail in the coffin for new music.

Ross The Boss is facing a death sentence with ALS, and suddenly the "Kings of Metal" have a heart?. Give us a f*cking break. While the mainstream media laps up Manowar’s "deeply saddened" press release, we’re digging into the 35 years of backstabbing and lawsuits that Manowar wants you to forget. Is this a genuine peace offering, or is Joey DeMaio just terrified of the fans finally seeing him for the greedy "monster" he really is?. Alex and Alicia aren't playing nice—hit play to hear the brutal truth about the "evil" that Ross himself says destroyed the band.
