    Are you coming back?
    I wish there were new episodes…there is a podcast with a similar format but this one much better.

    Great podcast
    Learned things I didn’t know, remembered things forgotten. The voices don’t overpower the story yet fit right in. So hope they do more

    Uneducated Gibberish
    Wow what an awful podcast. I listened to the episode about Keith Moon, that basically declared him the greatest of all time, which is garbage. It also stated Keith was the key to The Who. Aaa maybe Pete is the one responsible for 99% of their music? And then Bonn Scot. Give me a break calling him the greatest front man. Mick, Daltrey, Sting, James Brown, Tyler, Axl. get real

    Sam Cooke Please
    I just recently came across your podcast and I’m hooked. So much interesting information and it’s good to hear the stories about the end of their lives. I really hope you can do an episode on Sam Cookes murder mystery and Scott Weiland also

    Interesting and Well Produced - Episodes Vary in Quality
    Overall I like this podcast. The podcasts are well produced, and I like the narrative nature of them, rather than just a historical discussion of the facts of each rock star’s life and death. They are also a nice compact 30 minutes each. My main quibble is with the Buddy Holly episode, the one artist in the series I know the most about, and which contains factual errors - e.g., he died in Iowa not Ohio, his last name was changed via an error on his first recording contact not his birth certificate, his sales were not in decline at the time of his death. It’s errors like these that take away from the podcasts overall high quality.

    Their own approach to stories of rockstars
    You may think you’ve heard Jake Brennan/Disgraceland tell some of the same stories in a similar format; and yes, you probably have. But there are some truly unique gems here you won’t want to miss. There are different resources and different approaches to tell a unique side to stories. The narrators/presenters are wonderful to listen to and pull you in skillfully, so it’s easy to binge listen. Just try it; you’ll find yourself hooked!

    Great and emotional charged
    Look the tones, writing and wit in these telling tales of lost and appreciation of the impact these people have left on our lives with their music and lives.

    A fascinating portrait of rock stars we all know, but after listening, realize we didn’t. Have binged all the episodes and can’t wait for the next ones!
