Michael Kiske joins Chris Jericho for an in-depth conversation about one of Helloween's most misunderstood albums, 1993's Chameleon. Kiske explains why the band intentionally pushed beyond power metal, how Kai Hansen's departure changed Helloween's chemistry, why Chameleon felt more like three solo albums than a true band record, and how working with producer Tommy Hansen, real horn players, live string sections, and Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood helped shape the album's ambitious sound. He also shares the story behind the lawsuit that sidelined Helloween for two years and the injunction that prevented the band from recording or touring. Kiske explains how those lost years affected drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg and the band's momentum, why the backlash to Chameleon caught him by surprise, and why he believes artists have to take creative risks. He discusses the inspiration behind songs like "When The Sinner," "Longing," and "I Believe," why he was blamed for the album's direction, and the events that ultimately led to his departure from Helloween before returning decades later for one of heavy metal's greatest reunions. See Helloween on tour! https://www.helloween.org/📸 Instagram: @michaelkiskeofficial | @helloweenofficialTalk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.csom/ChrisJerichoFozzyLike, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes! More from Talk Is Jericho:📸 Instagram: @chrisjerichofozzy | @talkisjericho🐦 Twitter/X: @IAmJericho | @TalkIsJericho🎵 TikTok: @chrisjericho🌐 Website: https://www.webisjericho.com/

Vince Russo returns to talk about his new book, Total Nonstop Agony, and reveal the real stories behind his years in TNA Wrestling. He explains how Vince McMahon tried to bring him back to WWE, why he chose Jeff Jarrett and TNA instead, and how the company went from weekly PPVs to national television. Vince recounts what it was really like working with Jeff Jarrett, Dixie Carter, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Motor City Machine Guns, Jeff Hardy, Hulk Hogan, and Eric Bischoff, and why backstage politics often became a bigger story than what actually happened in the ring. He breaks down how Hogan's arrival changed everything, why Bischoff became part of the deal, and how creative battles shifted the direction of the company. Vince also details how one accidental email exposed his secret TNA consulting role and led to his firing, and why he believes he became the scapegoat for TNA's biggest controversies. He also revisits some of the company's most infamous story ideas, including Abyss' magic ring, AJ Styles as Ric Flair Jr., and Samoa Joe's kidnapping angle. Plus, Vince shares why now was finally the right time to tell the complete TNA story in the final book of his wrestling trilogy. Purchase Total Non Stop Agony: The Rise And Fall Of TNA - https://ecwpress.com/products/total-nonstop-agony📸 Instagram: @vincerussobrand🐦 Twitter/X: @THEVinceRussoyoutube.com/VinceRussoBrand Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.csom/ChrisJerichoFozzyLike, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes! More from Talk Is Jericho:📸 Instagram: @chrisjerichofozzy | @talkisjericho🐦 Twitter/X: @IAmJericho | @TalkIsJericho🎵 TikTok: @chrisjericho🌐 Website: https://www.webisjericho.com/

They discuss why the TNA story grew from two episodes to three, how they got Jeff Jarrett involved, and what he brought to the production in addition to his emotional story. Jeff reveals what surprised him most after watching the finished series, and the first thing his wife Karen said to him after she binged it. Jeff revisits his infamous WWE exit that ended with Vince McsMahon personally handing him a check before he dropped the Intercontinental Championship, the final days of WCW, launching TNA from scratch with his father, Jerry, bringing in Kurt Angle, and eventually being pushed out of the company. He remembers Bob Carter, and his daughter Dixie’s initial involvement, how he convinced Bob to sign Kurt Angle, and later, Hulk Hogan to TNA, and how Vince Russo came into the mix.
