Are Modern Rock Collaborations Just Desperate Nostalgia Traps?

from Classic Metal Show · host The CMS Network

When old-school rockers get together in the studio, it usually goes one of two ways: total magic or an absolute trainwreck. We break down a bizarre hookup between steel-throated 80s singers that started on a cruise ship and ended with non-stop studio chaos. Plus, a major rock side-project just dropped a track that sounds so much like prime-era Def Leppard, you’d think Mutt Lange robbed his own vault. But is it actually good ear candy, or just an uninspired retread for aging fans who refuse to move on? And you won’t believe how brutal the name butcherings get when hosts try to play real journalists.GET THE BEST OF LA GUNS - RIOT ON SUNSET ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4xps5nnWatch commercial free and without delayed publishing by becoming a CMS VIP at https://classicmetalshow.locals.comAll comments are merely the opinions of the people speaking them, are for comical performance, and are in no way stated as factual.
