Eddie Money didn't just fall off the wagon; he drove it straight into a flaming wreck during this legendary disaster. Chris and Neeley tear apart the most cringe-inducing interview ever recorded where a "bug-eyed" Money tries to talk "adult business" with a pre-teen girl. This is the raw, unfiltered truth about rock and roll decay that the mainstream media is too terrified to show you.

– Eddie Money meets his match: a 13-year-old girl who doesn't give a damn about his "glory days."
– The "Take Me Home Tonight" singer suggests taking a middle-schooler home... tonight? Absolute train wreck.
– Eddie starts airing his dirty laundry, calling his own daughter a drunk mess to a complete stranger.
– "I'm a winner!" - A man who clearly doesn't know how the game "Pong" works explains his life philosophy.
– "Richard Kimmel?" Eddie forgets the name of every person who could actually help his dying career.

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG (DATOG) have released the video for "The Law Of A Madman," taken from their acclaimed album Babylon, released by Reigning Phoenix Music in October 2025.

"The Law Of A Madman" treads the path of up-tempo metal shuffles. A true-metal guitar riff paves the way for aggressive vocals typical of Udo Dirkschneider, soon moving into a chorus reminiscent of the good old days. Following an ingenious guitar solo packed with twists and surprising harmonies, the song culminates in powerful final choruses highlighted by Manuela’s breathtaking solo vocals.

With this latest release, DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG conclude their Babylon album video cycle, which has generated more than five million views across all of the individual videos, a strong testament to the project’s enduring appeal. The impressive response shows that DATOG has truly reached the hearts of the fans worldwide, resonating with listeners who continue to celebrate the band’s timeless rock and heavy metal spirit.

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG (DATOG) was originally launched in 2020 as a one-off charity project, but quickly developed a momentum of its own and formed into a band consisting of Udo Dirkschneider (vocals; ACCEPT/U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER), Peter Baltes (bass, vocals; ACCEPT/U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER), Stefan Kaufmann (guitar; ACCEPT/U.D.O.), Mathias “Don” Dieth(guitar; SINNER/U.D.O.), Sven Dirkschneider (drums; U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER) and Manuela “Ella” Bibert (vocals). Between 2020 and 2021 their first three singles attracted a lot of attention, whereupon the band wrote more songs and recorded their debut album. With a unique vocal concept of three voices, powerful riffs and stylistic complexity, DATOG combine classic heavy metal with a modern, powerful production.

Think you know the story of how Rock and Hip-Hop collided? Most people point to one music video and call it a day, but the real story is much darker and more calculated than the mainstream narrative suggests. Was the "merger" a genuine cultural shift, or a desperate move by labels to keep aging rockers relevant? Stephen Blush joins the show to expose the friction, the "fake" collaborations that failed, and why some fans are still fighting a war that ended 40 years ago. The truth about the Zietgeist of the 80s is more complex than a hole in a wall.
