DESCRIPTION

Sepultura claims they are going away, but are they trying to scam one last payday out of the fans by teasing a reunion that isn't happening? Chris and Neeley dive into the absolute mess surrounding Andreas Kisser’s claims that he reached out to Max and Iggor Cavalera for the final show. It took less than twelve hours for Gloria Cavalera to come out and call "bullsh*t" on the whole thing. Is this a desperate move to sell tickets for a tour that isn't moving the needle, or is there genuine bad blood that will never be healed? We break down the ego, the money, and the sad reality of watching legendary bands turn into bitter office cubicle wars.

ON THIS EPISODE

  • The Sepultura Reunion Scam: Why Andreas Kisser is floating fake rumors to drum up ticket sales for a dying tour.

  • Gloria Cavalera Slaps Back: The instant denial that proves the bridge between the Cavaleras and the current lineup is permanently incinerated.

  • Farewell Tour or Cash Grab?: Analyzing the tell-tale signs that Sepultura’s "end" isn't going as planned.

  • The 83-Year-Old Rocker: Donnie Iris is still out-performing guys half his age while looking like your Uncle June.

  • The Death of the "Must-See" Show: Why there isn't a single band left on earth that commands an "automatic" ticket buy anymore.

Has Vinnie Vincent’s Comeback Already Run Its Course? (2018 Archive)

Vinnie Vincent was supposed to be making a comeback. So why does this whole thing look increasingly like a mess?

GET THE SELF TITLED VINNIE VINCENT INVASION RELEASE ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4r0fIfP

Neeley and Chris Akin dig into the latest controversy surrounding Vincent’s planned shows, including the move from Memphis to Nashville, the strange way the venue information is being presented, the departure of Robert Fleischman, and the increasingly bizarre ticket and meet-and-greet packages.

Fleischman says he walked away after receiving what he considered an insultingly low financial offer, along with concerns about organization, travel, hotel expenses and how he was being presented on the promotional material.

Then there’s the question of the so-called All-Star Band, the "special guests," and ticket packages that can run hundreds of dollars — including a $199 meet-and-greet that doesn’t even include a concert ticket.

Is Modern Heavy Metal Ruining Its Own Identity?

The metal scene is bigger than ever, but something behind the scenes is getting stripped away. Everyone claims they want heavier music, but the second a band takes a real risk, the internet turns on them. Is the pressure to look cool online completely killing actual musicianship?

Were These Mob Rules Songs TOO GOOD To Leave Off The Album?

Sometimes the songs that don't make the album end up being the ones everyone talks about.

Mob Rules guitarist Sven Ludke joins Chris Akin to explain how *Stories from the Verdant Vale* went from a handful of leftover ideas into a full-blown release.

Is Hollywood Too Old?

Why are some of the biggest icons in movie history completely torching their own filmographies? From Sylvester Stallone getting roasted for a zero-percent Rotten Tomatoes disaster to Al Pacino churning out direct-to-garbage streaming flicks, we break down why Hollywood's biggest names refuse to walk away. Is it pure greed, massive ego, or do these guys just have no idea how to stop? We tear into their absolute worst modern flops, why nobody wants to watch an 80-year-old action hero, and the unhinged celebrity social media posts that prove some of these stars have officially lost their minds.
