Avatar are bringing Neckbreakker on a European and UK tour. Swedish circus metal meets New York hardcore — weird on paper, probably great in a room. No dates or ticket info yet, but this pairing actually makes sense if you think about it for more than five seconds.

Beartooth's Caleb Shomo came out as gay on Instagram Saturday after months of speculation and harassment over the "Free" video. He says he spent a decade burying it with alcohol before getting sober and facing it head-on. New album *Pure Ecstasy* drops August 28 — he's done watering himself down.

Joe Satriani spent hours watching YouTube videos of other guitarists playing Eddie Van Halen solos to prep for the Best Of All Worlds tour. The hardest part wasn't the speed — it was Van Halen's quirky fi*****ng and his ability to play on the beat while making it feel pushed forward. Satriani's natural style sits back like a singer, so retraining his timing was the real challenge.

🎸 In This Episode:
* Unpacking the VIP experience and epic performances at Sick New World, featuring Bring Me The Horizon, Korn, AFI, Speed of Light, Acid Bath, and a surprisingly sober Marilyn Manson.
* Reliving Electric Callboy's insane, costume-changing, stadium-bound live show—and Parker's son's first concert experience!
* Debating Greta Van Fleet's cryptic "farewell" message: marketing genius or genuine breakup?
* The ongoing Motley Crue saga without Mick Mars: is it still Crue?
* Machine Gun Kelly's latest beef with Yungblood and controversial career pivots.
* Scene Queen's polarizing performance and her "18+" anthem for metal inclusivity.
* Lamb of God's consistent impact on the heavy scene and live sound debates.
* Roundup of new releases from The Black Keys, The Toadies, Atreyu, and more.
* Alex Terrible of Slaughter to Prevail: bare-knuckle boxing and brutal vocals—is he a do*****ag or just insane?
* Snot's new singer and plans for a second album after all these years.

Machine Gun Kelly called Yungblud a "silver spooned preachy wa**er" in a deleted Instagram rant, accusing him of faking a mental health tour cancellation and keeping ticket prices high. Yungblud's team clapped back saying he's too busy with his sold-out tour to care, and venue workers confirm his tickets are way cheaper than MGK claims. Another day, another MGK feud.

Pantera's European run just got a serious upgrade: Trivium, Bodysnatcher, AND Cavalera on the same bill. Three generations of heavy, one stage, and the Zakk/Charlie lineup doing the Pantera catalog while Max and Igor open the night. No dates yet, but this package is already worth the flight.
