“Probably my favourite music podcast.
The chemistry between Mick and John is always funny and the stories are interesting without being at all sycophantic which is a real change in this day and age.
If your looking for a music podcast that will entertain from start to finish then this is...”Read full review »

“Well in the ACT-U-AL-I-TY' i can only leave 5. I would like to give it 7 out of 5 like Mick did for Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album even though he could ony remember two good songs off of it now. If you liked Mick's other podcast, Dead Rocks Stars, you will love this...”Read full review »

“This is the most fun and interesting podcast that I know of because Mick and Jon are constantly having a good time, between the interruptions (by both of them), talking about the great bands and music of years past.
The most recent episode is from 29 July 2021, then they sadly seem to have...”Read full review »

“Love every episode of Dead rock stars and Rocks off, highly recommended, hopefully the series will revert to its weekly format ASAP. P.S. great to see Mick with Rossi last week, but it would be even better to see you on your own tour.”

“Superb podcast chronicling the soaring highs and the desperate lows of some of your favourite rock acts of the last 30 years. And all remembered or (half remembered) by two Kerrang! coal facers around at the time. Hilarious and informative like any great podcast.”

Here is the shows formula.

“Great pod with the great mick, but jon just seems to be there to interrupt mick, for the led zep episode for example, countless times mick says something like ”ye but led zep” or ”yes but back to led zeppelin” and jon just keeps going on and on talking about other nonesense.

Some of their memories of the 80s are hilarious.......they clearly enjoyed themselves cos they don’t get much of the ‘actuality’ right. But still really great stuff!”
