CMS LIVE! 7/4/26: Jon Schaffer's Predicament, Phil Lewis' Look, Vets Hate False Praise and More!

Let’s be honest about what’s actually happening here. Jon Schaffer is fresh out of a federal plea deal and immediately tracking an anti-government record. Is anyone actually buying this, or is it just the ultimate grift to recoup legal fees? Meanwhile, Nikki Sixx is taking shots at Godsmack’s legacy while his own band relies on pre-recorded tracks to survive a stadium tour. This is where the story gets messy. We look closer at Phil Lewis cutting his hair, the absolute breakdown of the casino circuit reality, and why the old guard is terrified of losing their grip. A lot of people are completely missing the real point of these stunts.

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 ...

Gus G Joins King Diamond! Andy LaRocque Is Out!

KING DIAMOND is thrilled to announce the addition of guitar virtuoso Gus G. (Firewind, ex-Ozzy Osbourne) to the band's lineup. Gus G. joins as guitarist and will compose, record, and tour with KING DIAMOND going forward, marking an exciting new chapter in the band's storied history.
