CMS CLASSIC: PANTERA LIES: The Real Reason Vinnie Paul NEVER Forgave Phil Anselmo! 2012

The SPHERE SCAM: Why Tool is Risking Everything for a "Robot Eyeball" (VIP)

Mainstream metal media is drooling over the "lights and lasers," but they’re too damn scared to ask the real question: Is Tool flushing their legacy down a Vegas toilet?

We’re diving into the secret negotiations that have the "Octopus" getting vertigo and the fans getting ripped off. Only the CMS has the balls to tell you why this "cinematic experience" might be the final nail in the coffin for new music.

The Ross The Boss BETRAYAL: Don't Buy the Corporate PR Garbage! (VIP)

Ross The Boss is facing a death sentence with ALS, and suddenly the "Kings of Metal" have a heart?. Give us a f*cking break. While the mainstream media laps up Manowar’s "deeply saddened" press release, we’re digging into the 35 years of backstabbing and lawsuits that Manowar wants you to forget. Is this a genuine peace offering, or is Joey DeMaio just terrified of the fans finally seeing him for the greedy "monster" he really is?. Alex and Alicia aren't playing nice—hit play to hear the brutal truth about the "evil" that Ross himself says destroyed the band.

It was nice seeing my buddy Criss Angel recently. Contrary to the rumors that are out there, Criss did NOT make my hairline disappear. Mother Nature and the stress of owning two homes did that, not to mention my estrangement from Paul Stanley.

THE LEGEND LIVES FOREVER! BON SCOTT’S 80TH BIRTHDAY BASH IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL!

LISTEN UP, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS! If you don't know the name BON SCOTT, then you don't know jack about rock and roll! Bon was the ultimate wild man. He had the voice, the grit, and the attitude that made AC/DC the biggest, loudest, and baddest band on the planet! Even though he left us way too soon, his legend is still crushing everything in its path. And guess what? 2026 marks what would have been his 80th birthday, and the world is celebrating with a massive explosion of metal glory! HELL YEAH!

This isn't some weak, quiet tribute. This is a full-on assault! We are getting SILVER AND GOLD BARS with Bon’s face on them from the Perth Mint! Can you imagine? Real metal for a real metal god! There’s also a new statue coming from Knucklebonz based on the Powerage tour. If you don't want a statue of Bon rocking out on your shelf, you’re clearly listening to the wrong music!

But wait, it gets even better! We’re getting killer new gear to wear. Dixxon Flannel is dropping a "Heritage" Tartan shirt, and there’s even a "Bon 80" football jersey. I don't care if you don't play sports—you wear this to the pit and show everyone who the king is! Plus, the ABC is dumping a ton of rare video content onto Bon's YouTube channel. We’re talking interviews with legends like Scott Ian from ANTHRAX and Sammy Hagar talking about why Bon still rules our world 46 years later!

The parties are going to be INSANE! Bonfest in Scotland is turning 20 years old and it’s already SOLD OUT! They’ve got former AC/DC drummer Chris Slade showing up to melt faces! If you can't make it to Scotland, New York City is throwing a massive Birthday Bash, and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is screening the Let There Be Rock movie! This is the kind of high-voltage energy we live for! Bon Scott is the reason we headbang, and 2026 is going to be the year of the legend! LONG LIVE BON SCOTT!

BRUCE DICKINSON IS BACK TO BLOW YOUR SPEAKERS TO HELL! NEW ATMOS MIXES ARE HERE!

LISTEN UP, METALHEADS! If you thought your eardrums were safe today, you were DEAD WRONG! The legend himself, the Air Raid Siren, BRUCE DICKINSON, is dropping a sonic nuclear bomb on us! To celebrate 30 years of the experimental masterpiece "SKUNKWORKS," BMG has unleashed brand new Dolby Atmos versions of that record AND his debut solo killer, "TATTOOED MILLIONAIRE!"

HELL YEAH! This isn't some weak, quiet update. These tracks have been beefed up by Brendan Duffey to sound ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE!

"Skunkworks" was always the weird, dark brother of Bruce’s catalog. When it came out in '96, it freaked people out because it was grungey, psychedelic, and heavy as lead! Bruce says it’ll "blow your socks off," and he’s right! It’s got that raw, "in-your-face" energy that makes you want to smash things. It’s dark, it’s emotional, and now it sounds bigger than a mountain!

And don’t forget "Tattooed Millionaire!" This was Bruce and Janick Gers just having fun and cranking out straight-up HARD ROCK! It’s got "Son of a Gun" and that killer cover of "All The Young Dudes." Bruce said they had to "beef it all up" for the modern world, and man, does it sound HUGE now!

Stop listening to that plastic pop garbage on the radio! Go stream these NOW and feel the power of real metal rattling your bones! This is how music is supposed to sound—LOUD, PROUD, AND CRUSHING!
