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.
