To say that the legal battle between Mötley Crüe and former guitarist Mick Mars escalated extremely fast is an understatement - with both sides making harsh claims about each other in the public eye. So how did we end up here? Is either side truly in "the right"? Should we even be surprised that Mötley Crüe is responsible for what promises to become one of the ugliest legal battles in rock?

That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for: a new Metallica album! Does “72 Seasons” show that the metal legends still have plenty of gas left in the tank, or that they’re well past their creative peak? Where does their latest studio album rank within its storied catalog? And can you believe that albums like “Kill ‘Em All,” “... And Justice For All,” “St. Anger” and “Death Magnetic” are celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2023?!

"So Much (for) Stardust" not only marks Fall Out Boy's first album in 5 years, but also their return to Fueled By Ramen - released their debut album "Take This To Your Grave" 20(!) years ago. So does the Chicago outfit reclaim the pop punk / emo rock throne with album no. 8, or does it leave fans yearning for more?

In each episode, both hosts are given two minutes each to review a newly released album or a classic record they’re revisiting. Whoever gives the longest review in under two minutes wins.

Ticketmaster is no stranger to strong criticism. But the fiascos surrounding rollouts of recent tours by artists like Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen has brought tensions at an all time high - with the Department of Justice launching antitrust investigations into Live Nation, the Senate holding hearings about Ticketmaster's presale operations and resale markets, and even artists like The Cure's Robert Smith publicly demanding a revaluation of "unduly high" ticket prices and fees (mere days before tickets went on sale)... So simply put - what the heck gives with these excessive fees, numerous presales, and dynamic pricing? How did we let a single company gain such an enormous stranglehold on the music industry? Who's to blame? Can anything be done to rectify this? 

That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.

Bamboozle was easily one of the most eclectic music festivals of the 00s - one that evolved from pop punk roots to a gathering of all types of genres. But the New Jersey festival’s return after an 11 year absence has so far been… lackluster at best, with the rollout of its lineup and pricing causing lots of confusion (and frankly frustration) among concert goers who feel misled by festival organizers... So, what gives?

That’s what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn’t to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don’t see in something that Matt and Zach simply can’t wrap their heads around.
