Bill Peters joined The Classic Metal Show after returning from the Bang Your Head Festival and delivered a review of Judas Priest that immediately sparked debate among metal fans. While some agreed with his assessment, others felt he went way too far.

Was Priest really struggling?

Or are fans refusing to accept what time eventually does to every legendary band?

The public clip barely scratches the surface.

MAN, THIS ABSOLUTELY RULES! Phil Lewis from L.A. Guns is a total rock and roll badass! He just did the most metal thing ever. He cut off all his long hair! He looked in the mirror after their New Year's Eve show at the Whisky and said, "Fuck it!" He shaved his whole head!

Phil says he is completely done with hair dye! He is never going to dye his hair again. He is sick of trying to look like he is 30 years old. Back in the late eighties, every single band on the Hollywood strip looked exactly the same. Phil says it was just a boring uniform. He is totally over it! He is even ditching the heavy leather and studs, saying he will leave that gear to Alice Cooper. He just wants to be real.

His hair has been growing back naturally since February and it looks awesome. Guitar legend Tracii Guns loves the new look, and 99% of the fans think it is killer. But a few whiny haters in South America are complaining. They think Phil sold out just because he is getting older. You know what Phil told them? He said they can FUCK OFF! Hell yeah! That is the exact raw angst and fire we need!

If you want to hear this legendary band crush everything, they are dropping a massive new live CD and DVD on July 3 called "Live From The Guild Theatre" through Cleopatra Records! It features face-melting versions of hits like "Electric Gypsy" and "The Ballad Of Jayne." L.A. Guns does not need fake hair dye to rock your world!

OH MY GOD, MAN! HOLY HELL, GET READY TO HAVE YOUR FACE COMPLETELY MELTED! If you think today's radio music is a bunch of weak, watered-down garbage, then I have the ultimate cure for your soul. The progressive metal kings SAVATAGE are back, and they are planning something so brutal and epic it makes my blood boil with pure joy! Guitar hero Chris Caffery just dropped a massive bomb in a new interview. The band is heading to the ancient Amphitheater of Pompeii in Italy. Yes, that ancient Roman spot! And they aren't just going there to play a regular show. No way, man! They are bringing a massive 40-person orchestra to battle them on stage!

THIS RULES SO HARD! Caffery said a little bird told him that they are planning to record and film the entire over-two-hour show so all of us who can't fly to Italy can witness the pure madness! He said they won't let those cameras stay off when they hit that historic stage. They are creating insane new orchestrations with the masterminds from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Al Pitrelli, Jon Oliva, and the crew are making parts where the orchestra literally battles the metal band! Caffery was rehearsing with his in-ear monitors and yelling to turn the orchestra parts way up because it sounds so heavy! It is going to be a total metal war!

This is exactly what the late, great producer Paul O'Neill always wanted. He believed classical musicians were the original heavy metal rock stars of their time, and he always wanted to marry those two worlds together. Now, SAVATAGE is doing it at one of the oldest Roman amphitheaters on earth with a completely different, mind-blowing setlist! They have been rehearsing like crazy, going to Greece to practice before hitting Turkey and the rest of Europe. Zak Stevens is on vocals, Johnny Lee Middleton is on bass, and they are ready to tear the house down. This is real, raw, heavy metal history in the making, brothers! I can't even contain my excitement! My head is spinning and I just want to yell HELL YEAH!
