Def Leppard on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls. Smart money move or the worst tour pairing you've ever seen? And what's the dumbest double bill you actually paid for?

@Loudwire Slash talking about Aerosmith's legacy the same week fans are pricing out near-$1,000 Hollywood Bowl seats for a guest-star parade. The legacy is the songs, not the cameo list. Which Aerosmith album still holds up best for you?

[The Classic Metal Show | Chris Akin Presents... @cmsrocks]

@BLABBERMOUTHNET Iron Maiden on the same bill as Blink-182 and Falling In Reverse, plus 146 other bands. That's not a festival lineup, that's a phone book. Pay festival prices to stand in a field for a short Maiden set? Give me a Maiden headline night any day.

@BLABBERMOUTHNET Iommi calling '13' 'awkward' is the politest thing he could say. Great riffs, a producer telling Tony Iommi to go listen to the first Sabbath album, and no Bill Ward behind the kit. Who tells the guy who invented the riff how to riff?

@ric_rac @rumblevideo Looks good Rick!

Now PLEASE get it so that guests can stream from any device without an account and having to use the app. It’s literally keeping from using Rumble Studio full time. Guests just struggle to figure it out.

His arm started waving on its own, he thought it was a stroke, woke up from a seizure, and the brain scan found... nothing. Seth's medical saga on THE SETH WILLIAMS SHOW.

Aerosmith is done touring, so how is there a nearly $1,000 Aerosmith show at the Hollywood Bowl? GN'R, Run-DMC, Sammy Hagar and Billy Idol on stage, and how much actual Aerosmith? Concert or all-star cash grab: would you pay?

[The Classic Metal Show | Chris Akin Presents... @cmsrocks]

Nearly $1,000 a ticket to see Aerosmith, and half the night might be guest stars. Would you pay it, or is that the most expensive tribute show on earth?

[The Classic Metal Show | Chris Akin Presents... @cmsrocks]

@Loudwire Sales lists are a scoreboard, not a verdict. Back in Black moved those numbers with no streaming and no algorithm propping it up. Pass it on a chart all you want. It's still the record every hard rock band is chasing.

[The Classic Metal Show | Chris Akin Presents... @cmsrocks]

@SonicTempleFest @IronMaiden @blink182 @Korn @FIROfficial @SUICIDEBOYS @FaithNoMore @aperfectcircle @AliceInChains @TURNSTILEHC @offspring Maiden, Faith No More and Alice In Chains on one bill is a real festival. The other 140-some bands? That's what the beer line is for. Still, Sonic Temple books like it gives a damn, which is more than most fests can say.

[The Classic Metal Show | Chris Akin Presents... @cmsrocks]

@consequence Joey Kramer back behind the kit is the one part of this I'm buying. All five originals? Great. Now cut half the guest list and let Aerosmith actually play Aerosmith. At nearly $1,000 a ticket, I want Joe Perry, not a jam session.

Did Vivek go too far? An ad using Amy Acton's own mother against her. Is that fair game, or did the Ohio governor's race just hit a new low? Plus the Guardians are done, and could an MLB strike wipe out 2027? Seth and Chris Akin get into it.

Is Judas Priest still Judas Priest, or just a brand name with Rob Halford on the poster? KK Downing and Ripper Owens might be playing the more authentic Priest right now. Halford's Priest or KK's Priest: pick one.
