The SPHERE SCAM: Why Tool is Risking Everything for a "Robot Eyeball" (VIP)

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.

  • The Financial Black Hole: Why This "Art" is a Trap
  • 16K Resolution vs. 13-Year Wait Times
  • Metallica is Moving In? The Battle for Sphere Supremacy

The Ross The Boss BETRAYAL: Don't Buy the Corporate PR Garbage! (VIP)

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.

47 Years of Metal Sacrifice: The Brutal Truth About "Shark-Infested" Touring

placeholder

Forty-seven years in the trenches and what do you have to show for it? Geoff Thorpe has steered the Vicious Rumors ship through every industry storm, but the scars are starting to show. We aren’t talking about some polished VH1 documentary; we’re talking about the physical and financial toll of staying "true" when the rest of the world moved on. Is it legendary persistence, or a refusal to see the writing on the wall?

CMS CLASSIC: GOOFY AS FCK: Neeley and Chris Akin TROLL The Rockin’ Metal Revival!

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. Are you ready to see how a real shock jock segment works, or are you just going to keep listening to the corporate-sanitized garbage?

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?
