This episode originally aired on 8/2/08.

Think you know the “metal struggle”? You don’t know shit until you hear Steve “Lipps” Kudlow breakdown 35 years of blood, sweat, and absolute industry betrayal. This isn’t some polished VH1 “Behind the Music” garbage; it’s the raw, unfiltered truth about why the best band in Canada was kept in the dark while the hacks got rich.
