Paypal Subscriptions To Locals

Hi All,

People have asked about signing up for our VIP / Locals page via Paypal.

I've decided to make this happen, but know up front that it is a MANUAL process. This means that when you sign up, it can take up to 24-48 hours for your account to be enabled. I will do them as fast as I can, but I will NOT guarantee you that if you sign up on a Saturday that you will have access during the live broadcast of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW.

The cost of the subscription is $6 per month on Paypal (vs. $5 if you sign up via Locals), which is to offset the additional cost in fees and the time I have to take to manually enable/disable your account going forward.

HOW IT WORKS.

1. Sign up for your free account on Locals and follow our page @classicmetalshow (https://classicmetalshow.locals.com).

2. Go to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=4SK722UXQKT9W and sign up for a Paypal subscription. PLEASE USE THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS for both your Paypal subscription and your Locals membership.

3. Message @classicmetalshow here on Locals and let me know that you subscribed, your Paypal confirmation number, the screen name you created for Locals and the email address you used for Paypal and Locals.

4. Once received. I will enable your account and email you the confirmation that your account is set up.

5. Log out of Locals and back in.

Your account will now be enabled. From there you will have access to all the VIP posts/content and the VIP Chat each week for THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW.

75-Year-Old Grandma Picks The Wrong Shift Leader At Tim Hortons (VIP)

Neeley and Chris dive into the bizarre legal fallout of a Tennessee school board member facing criminal assault charges after a context-dependent comment to a student. Was it a predatory move, or did an algorithmic outrage mob just destroy a 20-year career over a colloquial phrase? Immediately following that, the hosts react to the shocking viral footage of an elderly woman engaging in a physical brawl with a Tim Hortons shift leader. We break down the footage, look at who threw the first punch, and ask the uncomfortable question: Has public decorum officially collapsed?

Why Nazareth’s Pete Agnew Thinks the Internet is KILLING Rock and Roll

You’re listening to last week’s news—our VIPs already finished this episode commercial-free seven days ago. Stop waiting in line and get instant access to every show, advance interviews, and exclusive bonus content for just $4.99 at https://classicmetalshow.locals.com.

Nazareth founding member Pete Agnew doesn't pull punches when discussing the state of the music industry and the upcoming "Titans of Classic Rock" tour with Foghat. While the world remembers them for the legendary ballad "Love Hurts," Agnew reveals the raw, hard-rocking reality of a band that has survived five decades of industry shifts. From the "gift from the gods" in new vocalist Gianni Pontillo to the polarizing effect of the internet on global setlists, this is an uncensored look at rock royalty still claiming their throne. Discover why the "original rockers" are the only ones left who truly understand the spirit of the 70s.

Rob Zombie Was Dying Inside During This Leaked Press Conference (2009)

Neeley and Chris Akin dive into a leaked 2009 press conference featuring shock rock icon Rob Zombie that went completely off the rails—not because of the artist, but because of the jaw-droppingly lazy questions from corporate rock journalists. From pulling out of historical timelines to avoid admitting record contract negotiations, to being forced to ranks his top three favorite Halloween candies for a major regional newspaper, watch the exact moment an iconic musician realizes he's trapped in a corporate marketing prison.

Torn Open: The Underground Finally Got Dangerous Again

Everybody says they want REAL heavy music back…

Until a band actually brings danger, confrontation, politics, chaos, and zero filter back into the scene.

GREAT PRICE ON TORN OPEN'S TORN THE FUCK OPEN, VOLUME 2: https://amzn.to/4wpj8uP

Torn Open isn’t trying to be safe. That’s exactly why people are paying attention.

And once Sophia DeMasi started talking about politics in metal, misogyny in the scene, underground culture, social media manipulation, and refusing to “fail” in the music business…

This stopped being just another deathcore interview.

ON THIS EPISODE:
- Torn Open positioning themselves AGAINST sanitized modern metal
- Why “deathcore revival” bands are mostly clones
- Sophia refusing to play the “female vocalist gimmick”
- The underground metal scene becoming image-driven instead of dangerous
- Why politics absolutely belong in heavy music
- The industry rewarding safe controversy instead of real risk
- Touring chaos, marijuana stories, underground grind
- Social media becoming more important than radio
- The tension between authenticity and “sellout” culture

Something About This "Whitesnake" Tour Feels Off...

Adrian Vandenberg just announced a massive new tour, but something about the branding has a lot of rock fans feeling incredibly conflicted. Are we witnessing the final evolution of legacy rock bands, or is this just a blatant cash grab masking itself as a tribute? Meanwhile, a new Bon Jovi project is raising serious questions about the future of stadium rock hits.

If you’re watching this here, you’re already late. The full episode, exclusive third segment, and early interviews are already on Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com
