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.

Welcome To The CMS Legion!

Buster Posey Just Drew A Line In The Sand

Sports reporters tried to lay an absolute trap for Buster Posey over his players' personal choices. They expected an immediate corporate apology—but they didn't get one. This standoff just exposed exactly how broken the relationship between sports media and real fans actually is.

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

Let's not pretend the media actually cared about baseball during this press conference. They came looking for a very specific, headline-ready quote to crucify an executive and alienate traditional fans. When Buster Posey shut down the narrative by sticking strictly to the game, he didn't just protect his locker room—he exposed the entire corporate playbook. We break down the exact moment the media realized they weren't getting their apology, why sports culture is being cannibalized by corporate sponsorships, and how the entire ...

This Viral Restaurant Tantrum Is Total Chaos

A routine lunch stop turned into a viral standoff when a customer decided to film her exit over a song playing on the loudspeaker. Plus, a disastrous road trip breakdown that resulted in a professional pyrotechnician's car melting down at a truck stop.

Is Common Sense Officially Dead?
Something feels incredibly off about the direction culture is heading, and the public is only getting the sanitized version.

Something feels incredibly off about the direction culture is heading, and the public is only getting the sanitized version. From Fox quietly swallowing up Roku for $22 billion to the chilling, desperate reality exposed in The TikTok Murders, the media landscape is shifting in a way that should make everyone deeply uncomfortable. Why do the biggest rock bands pushed by the industry suddenly feel completely hollow? And why does it feel like basic common sense has completely vanished from public life—whether it's an aggressive viral restaurant standoff or an underground operation that ends with a vehicle melting down at a truck stop?

Steel Panther Pulled Off The Perfect Troll Of Eddie Trunk (2015)

placeholder

Did Eddie Trunk genuinely misunderstand Steel Panther’s audience...

SHOP FOR YOUR CMS SWAG HERE: https://classicmetalshow.creator-spring.com/

Or does he simply dislike what Steel Panther represents?

 

 

That’s where the real debate starts.

A simple caller asked Eddie Trunk about Steel Panther.

What happened next raised a lot of questions.

WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS VINYL FOR STEEL PANTHER’S FEEL THE STEEL! GET IT BEFORE IT’S GONE! https://amzn.to/4em1Lms

Because the more Eddie explained his position, the more divided fans became.

Some fans think Eddie is defending the legacy of 80s metal.

STEEL PANTHER’S ON THE PROWL COSTS HOW LITTLE? LET ME SEE THAT! https://amzn.to/443SoTy

Others think he’s completely missing the joke.

And once the possibility emerged that Satchel himself was the caller, the discussion went in a direction nobody expected.

 

 

The public clip barely scratches the surface.

The real discussion happened on Locals.

Michelle Kath: The Terry Kath Mystery That Still Hasn't Been Solved

What started as a documentary project became something far more personal.

GET CHICAGO’S THE CHICAGO STORY: THEIR GREATEST HITS - https://amzn.to/43ZzwVM

Michelle Kath joined The Classic Metal Show to discuss her years-long journey to tell the story of her father, legendary Chicago guitarist Terry Kath. Along the way she discovered new stories, hidden footage, handwritten lyrics, and a mystery that still remains unsolved.

 

 

But the biggest surprise may be what she learned about her father after spending years interviewing the people who knew him best.

And not everybody agrees on what Terry Kath’s legacy should be today.
