It’s a joy to listen to - and as others have said it’s often the ones who’s music you are not into that are the most entertaining. Who knew Joe Elliot and Brian Johnson would be amongst the best guests - and Johnny Marr could do a months worth of shows.

Many musicians open up in this podcast when they realize Guy and Gary have been there too. Always fun and a bunch of humor as well.

Absolutely brilliant, so many diverse guests with brilliant anecdotes that you won’t hear anywhere else. Please can I request you invite Gary Wallis on! Also I like the interjections from Guy and Gary, makes it feel more like a chat down the pub than an interview.

Terrific show with great guests! Also loved seeing you guys play with Nick in Seattle and Vancouver! ❤️🎸

Great podcast, with an immense reach and eclectic selection of highly influential musicians, producers and sound connoisseurs. Always a treat to listen to. Thank you, for all the inspiration. I just wish Guy and Gary were less typically ‘British’ in their constant need to throw in silly anecdotes...Read full review »

I listened to every episode since your amazing podcast started and I’ve loved each and every one. But last night I got to see you guys with Nick Mason’s Saucer Full of Secrets at the Glass House in Gateshead, which has an unbelievable sound system. OMG !!!! It was phenomenal!!! . The musicianship...Read full review »

Loved this show since it started and always fantastic angles on their chats with guests. But. hate to be anywhere near negative but, Guy is starting to grate with constant interruptions or trying to hard to thrown in funny’s which have become almost a hectoring towards the guests.

John Oates episode was great 👍though felt there’s definately more content for another episode - plenty left on the table there for another episode. Would love to hear more about the period when they had curry/smith/wolk in the band. Small wish list in no particular order; Steve ferrone One of...Read full review »

I do like this podcast but Guy needs to learn that interviewing involves asking somebody a question and then letting them answer. So often the interviewee is interrupted so that Guy can give his personal spin on whatever the question was about. He also answers his own questions as well as...Read full review »

What a fabulous podcast. Gary & Guy are so relaxed & real. The guests are always interesting. Not a podcast goes by without learning some amazing new musical history facts. Keep up the good work fellas. Rob McKay - Wanaka NZ PS - Just listened to the Marty Wild Episode - what a genuinely...Read full review »

You both do a great job, thanks
Antifluff Superstar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/24
Just listened to the Brian Auger episode and found it so irritating when Guy Pratt keeps endlessly butting in & talking over the guest, he even tried to answer a question posed to the guest until Gary chastised him . He loves the sound of his own voice, which leads to Pratt ruining a number...Read full review »

Better than a wank ! discovered that David Coverdale is the bollocks ! Thank you x The Brain Auger episode was like listening to the Goon show , really funny and hugely entertaining . This Podcast actually makes me appreciate LA gridlock

Did not expect much when I came across this podcast, but have been more than pleasantly surprised. A couple of observations: The behind the scenes folks, producers and promoters, are generally much more engaging and informative than the musicians. Surprisingly, amongst the musicians the...Read full review »

I love these guys… I listed to every podcast and appreciate all the great stories from artists I know and those that I’ve just been introduced to.
brihall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/24
Stumbled across this podcast after seeing Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets tour in Oakland (brilliant!), Guy and Gary mentioned it from the stage. I probably never would be aware of it if it wasn’t for that. So grateful to have found it! They’re both very interesting on their own, but where...Read full review »

I recently discovered this podcast. I’m really glad I did, it’s now one of my favourite podcasts! Gary and Guy are great hosts and each interview is a joy to listen to! I’m enjoying listening to the older episodes and I’m slowly catching up! Keep up the great work Gary and Guy!
ShaneUk1981 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/29/24
Gary and Guy are excellent interviewers and the gusts are very interesting.
Lkaksjdjgoe via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/17/24
Only came across your podcast a few weeks ago.Ive just listened to Roy Wood. Great guy and interview.I use to go to the Belair night club.I was stood at the bar getting a drink and looked to my left and Roy Wood was stood there at the bar getting a drink.🥃 😀
Tink 0121 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/16/24
5* for the Duff episode especially and of course anything with DC! Better when Guy doesn’t take over (sorry!)
SarahCanterbury via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/10/24
New to this podcast. Saw Mr Howe was the guest & as a lifelong Yes fan had to listen. Great chat. But why did you have to ask about Jon Anderson 😂 Anyway, I’ve now subscribed & am busy catching up with your back catalogue of shows & remarkable guests. Bring it on 😄
Mrs F M via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/04/24
This is a great podcast, really interesting guests. Please stop talking over them.
Rt2210 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/14/24
Enthusiastic conversation with and by industry people. Amusingly, Guy has spent years backing Dave Gilmour but thinks guitarists can just "sing and play right off the bat". In reality the bass is handed to the vocalist when a band forms to save finding one and also keeping staff costs...Read full review »

Great show, great guests. Would be five stars if Guy didn’t constantly interrupt and/or talk over Gary. Huge ignoramus.
chur1996 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/14/23
Nice to hear inside info on British musical history from the icons of the industry. Even better recently since the hosts interrupt less and allow the guests to chat more.
Corey Hunter via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/12/23
Funnier than most comedy podcasts More informative than most historical podcasts. Rockonteurs is a delight
WildWoodComs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/23
Just listened to Jonny Marr 2, simply brilliant. Ive found so much new music from this podcast! Please get Mr Marr back again, there must be more stories!
Tredge76 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/23/23
Unique interviews from these artists who share their experiences while letting their guests share. Reliably great listen.
Plymouth Jim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/23
I found this late and have been loving catching up - still 18 episodes to go. Great insight as it’s rockers talking to rockers. Have found myself dipping into music again or finding new music like Gary’s “waiting for the band” and Def Leppards Yeah album. Great job Gary & Guy
Bofagaz via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/16/23
I’m a late comer to the podcast and am playing catch up whilst running. Double David Coverdale, Scott Gorham and Glenn Hughes. Also impressed by the broad spectrum of guests - great to hear that Gary and Guy are like minded in that music IS just that…Music. Please ask Ricky Warwick to be a guest.
auntie M hebden bridge via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/11/23
Gary Kemp is a fantastic interviewer. So is Guy Pratt when he allows the guests to talk. Just a real shame there is so few women. I have counted twelve in a hundred and twenty four episodes. If they aren’t careful they’ll have to call it The Cockenteurs.
The Medium White Duke via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/08/23
Fantastic podcast with two guys who were and still are in the middle of it. I love the episodes with iconic producers where they dig deep into music history (Hugh Padgham is my favourite). All of it spiced with a great sense of humour.
dansof784 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/18/23
What a find this podcast was. Anyone with even a passing interest in the life and times of rock and pop need to get on board this train. Hosted with humour and knowledge by Gary and Guy, whose rapport and respect for their guests results in a brilliantly laid back yet fascinating series of podcasts.
Carl109 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/02/23
Great listen but there is a lot of background noise, mics popping etc!
Einstein via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/28/23
I didn’t want this to end ! Excellent chat with Terry Reid so modest and so many great stories ! You have to get him back on! I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while now and it’s become my favourite podcast. It’s amazing who you’ve managed to invite, many of them my music heroes. The...Read full review »

First of all, I don’t agree with the reviewer who said Giles needs to calm down. I think he’s hilarious and often very insightful. Plus he’s a great bassist. Secondly, this is great. A roll call of fantastic guests. I’ve been listening to my favourites first, then picking randomly through the...Read full review »
Mr Day via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/01/23
I happened upon this by pure chance when I saw a chat with Guy on Scott’s Bass Lessons and he dropped in a shameless plug. (Thanks Guy, you’re a leg-end). I’ve learned so much and laughed a hell of a lot and I’m only about 40 episodes in. Can you get David Coverdale and Joe Elliot at the same...Read full review »

I only recently discovered this and have started right from the beginning. I love hearing about where and how people started there careers and only wish I had this insight when I was 16: I may even have been a guest myself. Determination sprinkled with a good dose of luck seems to be the order of...Read full review »

Into season 2, trying to get through them all as the guests are fascinating. But can’t do any more. Pratt is so unbelievably irritating - constantly interrupting and talking over people to say nothing at all, loving the sound of his own voice and desperately trying to be funny. (He isn’t). Kemp...Read full review »

My new favorite podcast is Rockonteurs. I've been listening for the past few weeks and I enjoy each episode as much if not more than the last. So far, my favorites have been with Shel Talmy, Hugh Padgham, Stewart Copeland, and, as of today, Noel Gallagher. Noel made me want to write songs...Read full review »

Great guest. The guys do a great job. It keeps getting better!

Very, very good pod from two legends in the business. Always been a fan, follower & listener. Please keep it it up boys…
anti mp3 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/08/23
Can get a bit Smashy and Nicey at times, but it’s a small price to pay for some great interviews. A very relaxed and enjoyable podcast with a high calibre of guests.
Dan_E_T via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/07/23
Consistently great guests who open up to Gary’s questions. Guy seems more interested in hearing himself speak which can distract from the otherwise strong content.
Grace rox via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/22/23
Great pod love the chat and stories. Coverdale was epic
boojwjh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/21/23
Really great interviews and Gary and Guy are a delight … a must listen for music fans particularly for the histories and stories they facilitate fro legends!
PGAsby via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
I’d give this five stars if only for the annoying habit of the hosts cutting off guests as they talk. I listen for them not you (with all due respect). Joe Perry got interrupted constantly! As have others. Great vibe, great guests. Take a breath and listen to the people you have on. They’ll do...Read full review »
