Why is Don Jamieson the Last National Act to Play This Iconic Club?

Seth Williams and Chris Akin aren't here to play by the rules or read from a corporate script. In this raw, unedited session, the guys are joined by special guest and comedian Don Jamieson to pull back the curtain on the "death" of the legendary Funny Stop. Between Seth’s "swollen ball syndrome" updates and the arrival of restaurant reporter Tony Musachio from the new and improved SHOOTERS, this is the high-octane chaos the mainstream media is too terrified to broadcast. If you want the truth from a comedy veteran who has seen it all, you’re in the right place.

LEMMY SMASHES MIXING BOARD! KING DIAMOND'S $26K HANDOUT! (Audio)
THE SETH WILLIAMS SHOW

Hey everyone,

Just to keep everyone in the loop as best I can here. Seth was readmitted to the hospital this weekend, had some fairly major surgery today, and is now in recovery from that. I won't go into it further than that, as it's not my news/story to share.

I will say a few things though that could be important for you guys.

1st - I'm not sure how it's going to get done, but we will be launching a GoFundMe for Seth and his family in the next couple of days to try and help out. If anyone can help, please feel free to kick in... even if it's a dollar.

2nd - For the time being, I'm making the decision to put THE SETH WILLIAMS SHOW on a hiatus. Simply put, there's bigger things to worry about right now than that.

Sorry for the bad news here, folks... but wanted to keep everyone in the loop here.

Peace everyone!!

Chris

The Death of the Standout Personality

placeholder

The modern entertainment landscape is a flat circle of mediocrity. We’re living through the final days of the "Notable Figure." Whether it’s the airwaves or the stage, the titans are being replaced by algorithms and safe, PR-scrubbed non-entities.

In this session, we peel back the curtain on the "Legacy Band" circus—specifically the ongoing soap opera that is Journey. Is there a point where a band's off-stage litigation officially kills the "feel-good" vibe of the music? We look at the irony of Ross Valery and Steve Smith being axed for a "mutiny" that, in hindsight, might have been a desperate attempt to save the band's soul from the current legal dumpster fire.

KILLER PRICE FOR JOURNEY'S TIME3 HERE: https://amzn.to/4ctAtJS

From George Lynch trying his hand at stand-up comedy (yes, really) to the "politically correct assholes" trying to redesign the Washington Redskins logo into a high-school-tier embarrassment, we’re dissecting the cultural decay. If you're tired of "fan-boy" interviews and want the raw, unscripted truth about why your favorite legends are disappearing, this is the one. Watch the unfiltered version on Locals.

Metallica Announces MASSIVE Reload Box Set!
Following the 2025 release of Load, we’re psyched to bring you our latest mammoth box set: ReLoad, remastered and reissued.

Following the 2025 release of Load, we’re psyched to bring you our latest mammoth box set: ReLoad, remastered and reissued. Revisit all of your favorites, including “Fuel,” “The Memory Remains,” “Fixxxer,” and Grammy Award Winning “Better Than You,” and witness their evolution from riff tapes to the final tracks that we know and love.

Pre-orders start now, and the full package will hit your doorsteps, record stores, and all your favorite digital outlets on Friday, June 26, 2026. All formats pre-ordered from Metallica.com will receive digital instant grat tracks straight to your inbox.



As you’ve come to expect, ReLoad will be released in multiple formats, including standard 180g 2LP, CD, cassette, and digital (including Spatial Audio), a 3CD Expanded Edition, and, most importantly, a massive Deluxe Box Set.

This one-time pressing is jam-packed with exclusives, starting with six slabs of vinyl. Included are the remastered ReLoad album on 180g double vinyl, a 7” single for “The Memory Remains,” and Ministry of Sound ’97, a 140g triple album recorded live in a small London nightclub on November 13, 1997.

Across 15 CDs, four DVDs, and six pieces of vinyl, fans will dive into everything from the remastered album to riffs, floor takes, demos & rough mixes, B-Sides & rarities, behind-the-scenes in-studio footage, on-air & television appearances, the band’s acoustic radio show & infamous free concert in the parking lot of CoreStates Center in Philadelphia, and tons and tons of live material. We’re talking six complete live shows professionally mixed from the original master tapes! All in all, the Deluxe Box Set clocks in at 1697:47.

German heavy metal legends ACCEPT celebrate 50 years of pure power, by bringing together the scene's A-list musicians for a landmark release. 
German heavy metal legends ACCEPT celebrate 50 years of pure power, by bringing together the scene's A-list musicians for a landmark release. Teutonic Titans 1976–2026 stands as a definitive statement of the band's legacy, forged in steel and driven by unmistakable riffs. Arriving September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records, the album delivers some of the most iconic songs ever written in heavy music.
 
placeholder

Led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, the longtime architect of ACCEPT's sound, the band is joined by a staggering 50 guests across 19 reimagined versions of their biggest tracks. Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 is ACCEPT's most ambitious and star-studded release to date, reaching far beyond their country's borders. Featuring the biggest names in heavy music paying tribute to the German icons, the record cements the band's standing on the global stage. This is more than an album; it is a manifesto of metal! Pre-orders are now available in various exclusive formats.

Wolf Hoffmann about Teutonic Titans 1976-2026:
"There is no better way to celebrate this 50-year anniversary than to have our musical peers, friends, and inspirations come together with us to record these classic ACCEPT songs, which I am honored and proud to share with the World. I hope everyone enjoys this very special record as much as we all enjoyed making it."

Chronologically progressing through albums from their formative years, from I’m a Rebel (1980) to Eat the Heat (1989), ACCEPT present their songs with an all-new, all-star lineup, alongside the signature voice of Mark Tornillo and Wolf Hoffmann's unmistakable riffs. By enlisting a Who's Who of metal, no two songs on Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 are the same. Every track features a different combination of vocals, guitars, bass, and drums, giving each classic a fresh edge.

Tobias Forge delivers a commanding performance on the track "Save Us" (I'm a Rebel, 1980), joined by Ray Luzier on drums. Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee tear through the speed metal classic "Fast As A Shark" (Restless and Wild, 1982). "Balls to the Wall" surges with the powerful range of Metal God Rob Halford, alongside the guitar work of Matthias Jabs, while the reimagined "Love Child" is elevated by Billy Corgan and David Ellefson (both songs from Balls to the Wall, 1983). 

Other guest stars on ACCEPT's extraordinary release include K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund, and Jeff Loomis. The album also features a re-recording of "Hellhammer" (Eat the Heat, 1989), performed by ACCEPT's current lineup: Wolf Hoffmann, bassist Martin Motnik, guitarist Philip Shouse and drummer Christopher Williams, joined by Jason McMaster on vocals.
