ROB ZOMBIE EXPOSES THE TOTAL INCOMPETENCE OF MUSIC JOURNALISM!

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.

@classicmetalshow Do we think this is down to poor ticket sales/high ticket prices, has Gene fell out of favour for unpopular opinions he has voiced, is he just old news and people are just not interested anymore, or is there some other reason? Interested to know what people say.

What Do You Guys Think?

This is an interesting conversation on HART O' THE MATTER with my buddy Matt Hartnett. I was going to cover this on the CMS last night but we ran out of time.

Poison: This Meet-And-Greet Turn of Events Might Backfire On Classic Bands (2012)

placeholder

The public clip barely scratches the surface of what actually goes down when the cameras stop rolling. We love the songs that defined an era, but what happens when meeting your rock 'n' roll idols completely ruins the magic? Fans seem deeply split over how much bad behavior we should tolerate just because someone wrote a few hits.

Did AC/DC Just Make The Most Corporate Move In Rock History? (2008)

AC/DC is finally back with a massive 15-track album and a stadium tour, but the way they’re selling it has left a lot of purists incredibly uncomfortable. By locking down an exclusive deal with Walmart, the world's biggest rock band might have just traded their gritty identity for corporate convenience. The guys break down whether this strategy is brilliant marketing or an absolute betrayal of the genre's roots.
