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.

KORN JUST DROPPED A BRAND NEW TRACK AND IT’S PURE BRUTALITY!

OH MY METAL GODS! ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?! KORN just blindsided the entire world by dropping a massive new song called "REWARD THE SCARS!" HELL YEAH! This isn't just some soft, radio-friendly garbage—this is the real deal! It is the first new music we’ve heard from these legends since 2022, and it absolutely crushes everything in its path!

A GREAT PRICE FOR KORN'S ISSUES ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4cGNr7g

They didn't even warn us! They just unleashed this beast as part of the soundtrack for the new "Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred" expansion! Talk about a perfect match! Slaying demons in a video game while Jonathan Davis screams in your ears? THAT RULES! It’s heavy, it’s raw, and it’s got that classic KORN fire that makes you want to run through a brick wall!

I’ve been waiting years for this! Their last album "Requiem" was a total monster, but "Reward The Scars" takes that energy and cranks it up to eleven! Even though Fieldy has been away from the stage, knowing these guys are still out there making music this intense makes me want to start a mosh pit in my own living room! KORN has sold over 40 million albums and they STILL sound more dangerous than any of these weak new bands today!

placeholder

If you aren't cranking this song right now at full volume until your neighbors call the cops, you aren't doing it right! This is what heavy metal is all about—surprise, power, and pure, unadulterated angst! GO LISTEN TO IT NOW AND LET THE HEAVINESS TAKE OVER! THIS IS METAL! THIS IS KORN! STAY LOUD!

Want more headbanging action? Tune into THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW LIVE every Saturday night from 9pm to 3am Eastern on Rumble, X, Substack or Odysee!

Crimson Glory’s New Era: The Controversy of Replacing a Fallen Icon

placeholder

Crimson Glory was gone longer than most modern metal fans have been alive, leaving behind a legacy that felt untouchable—until now. Ben Jackson breaks the silence on the 26-year hiatus, the "itch" that brought the original members back together, and the impossible task of stepping out of Midnight's shadow. This isn't just a comeback; it’s a total re-evaluation of what a legendary band owes its fans and itself. If you think you know how this industry works, this conversation will prove you wrong.
