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.

Mick Fleetwood Marries Wife 5 at 78 + Throwback

placeholder

Mick Fleetwood just tied the knot for the fifth time and posted honeymoon pics from the South Pacific — because nothing says “rock star romance” like another trip down the aisle at 78.

Neeley and Chris Akin dive headfirst into the wild world of Fleetwood Mac drama while roasting Mick’s latest marriage, breaking down the band’s legendary dysfunction, and celebrating the chaos that fueled Rumors — the 40-million-selling monster that still sounds untouchable. They rip on repeat divorces, rekindled feuds, and the incestuous hate-fest that somehow created timeless classics. Expect zero filter as they debate Stevie Nicks’ greatness, trash Christine McVie’s voice, praise deep cuts like “Silver Springs” and “Hypnotized,” and wonder how the hell anyone survived the non-stop fucking and fighting in that band.

The conversation quickly spirals into other rock icons: a fresh look at the Buckingham Nicks reissue sparking Stevie-Lindsey peace talks, Pat Benatar deep dives, Linda Ronstadt’s surprising background, and why some 80s queens still look fire while others… don’t. They cap things off with mind-blowing AI videos showing 80s rock gods then-and-now interacting like old buddies — from Billy Gibbons to Axl Rose to Lita Ford and Joan Jett. Raw, hilarious, and packed with real talk only CMS delivers.

If you love uncensored rock history, band gossip that actually matters, and zero corporate bullshit, this one’s for you. Turn it up loud and brace for the rants.

SHARON OSBOURNE CRUSHES THE LAW AND RECLAIMS BLACK SABBATH’S BRUTAL BEGINNINGS!

placeholder

HELL YEAH! Listen up, because the Prince of Darkness and his unstoppable wife just won a massive battle! Sharon Osbourne finally settled a huge legal war with Black Sabbath’s first manager. This guy was trying to mess with the band’s legendary history, but Sharon shut that down!

We are talking about the "Earth" era, man! Before they were the gods of Black Sabbath, they were a raw, hungry band called Earth. These recordings are the holy grail of heavy metal! They are the roots of every crushing riff we love. This manager guy wanted to release them his own way, but Sharon said NO WAY!

placeholder

This is a victory for the fans! This is a victory for metal! Now these killer early tracks won't be trapped in some lame legal cage. This is the stuff that started it all! It’s dark, it’s heavy, and it’s pure fire! Sharon fought like a beast to protect the Sabbath legacy, and she won!

I am so pumped to hear these raw tracks. It’s going to be like a punch to the face! Heavy metal history belongs to the legends who made it, not some suit in an office! THIS RULES! STICK IT TO THE MAN! SABBATH LIVES FOREVER!

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!
