Think you know what happens behind the scenes of a major rock star’s press conference? You’re being fed a sanitized, corporate lie by "journalists" who have no business holding a microphone. Neeley and Chris expose a room full of major publication hacks asking questions so mind-numbingly stupid that you’ll wonder how they still have jobs. Is the mainstream media deliberately trying to kill Rock 'N' Roll with fluff, or are they just too lazy to do a five-minute Google search? Hit play to hear the exact moment the "professional" press officially lost the plot. This is from the 10/31/09 episode of THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW.

The world has officially gone soft, and the music industry is leading the charge into the abyss. Why is a professional publicist pushing a band that sings about "mental fatigue" from working a 9-to-5, and how did society become so pussified that we cancel entire tours because of a weather app? From greedy labels trying to exploit the unreleased tracks of dead legends like John Sykes to Gen Z "fans" attacking young stars for flying private, the entitlement is at an all-time high. Are you ready to hear Neeley and Chris expose the "Soft Life" scammers and the corporate vultures who think you're too stupid to notice the heist?

– The Pussification of Society: Ghost Cancels Shows for "Possible" Snow
– Raibard: The Most Pathetic "Soft Life" Anthem Ever Recorded
– POSTHUMOUS HEIST: Golden Robot Records vs. The John Sykes Estate

Is the rock industry officially being run by "super-fans" with zero education and even less self-respect? Neeley and Chris just received a "bitch slap" from a self-proclaimed "Warrant Queen," and it’s the most embarrassing display of "industry" power we've ever seen. Does this delusional gatekeeper actually have the power to ban the CMS from interviewing Warrant, or is the mainstream media just too scared to show you how desperate these 80s camps have become? You won't believe the "deal" she tried to cut to keep us quiet.
