The Terry Kath Mystery That Still Hasn't Been Solved

What started as a documentary project became something far more personal.

GET CHICAGO’S THE CHICAGO STORY: THEIR GREATEST HITS - https://amzn.to/43ZzwVM

Michelle Kath joined The Classic Metal Show to discuss her years-long journey to tell the story of her father, legendary Chicago guitarist Terry Kath. Along the way she discovered new stories, hidden footage, handwritten lyrics, and a mystery that still remains unsolved.

But the biggest surprise may be what she learned about her father after spending years interviewing the people who knew him best.

Steel Panther Pulled Off The Perfect Troll Of Eddie Trunk (2015)

Did Eddie Trunk genuinely misunderstand Steel Panther’s audience...

SHOP FOR YOUR CMS SWAG HERE: https://classicmetalshow.creator-spring.com/

Or does he simply dislike what Steel Panther represents?

That’s where the real debate starts.

A simple caller asked Eddie Trunk about Steel Panther.

What happened next raised a lot of questions.

WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS VINYL FOR STEEL PANTHER’S FEEL THE STEEL! GET IT BEFORE IT’S GONE! https://amzn.to/4em1Lms

Because the more Eddie explained his position, the more divided fans became.

If you’re watching this here, you’re already late.

https://classicmetalshow.locals.com

Some fans think Eddie is defending the legacy of 80s metal.

STEEL PANTHER’S ON THE PROWL COSTS HOW LITTLE? LET ME SEE THAT! https://amzn.to/443SoTy

Others think he’s completely missing the joke.

And once the possibility emerged that Satchel himself was the caller, the discussion went in a direction nobody expected.

The public clip barely scratches the surface.

The real discussion happened on Locals.

Was Priest really struggling?

NO MORE HAIR DYE FOR PHIL LEWIS! L.A. GUNS FRONTMAN SHAVES IT ALL OFF AND TELLS HATERS TO FUCK OFF!

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.

GET LA GUNS' LEOPARD SKIN ON VINYL: https://amzn.to/3R3HrP2

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!
