What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The show that’s never stale and always fresh with new music, plus, a variety of ways to cover rock and metal. From covering old Hit Parader and Circus magazines to Beat the Geek contests and special guest interviews, all the news and information about your favorite bands are found right here. Fantastic podcast, fellas. Looking forward to some more best/ worst episodes. Much appreciated. Dean

Volley Theory · Feb 2025

This might be my favorite hard rock/metal show. I love all the deep or obscure albums/tracks and the interviews are phenomenal. The interviews with former KISS crew members are the best. It would be great to interview Alan Miller or Billy Miller from the 70’s KISS Management. I am not sure if they are still alive but just a thought. I would also love to hear anything on Salty Dog, The Scream or Spread Eagle. Three very underrated bands from the 80’s. Keep up the excellent work though. This podcast is what I have been waiting for. Thanks!

I came across this podcast a couple years ago. Geekwire is my favorite pat of the show. I’m an old fogey and stuck to the standard rock and metal from way back. I will check out newer bands depending on how they are reviewed. The hosts are super cool and come across as old buddies I dig the Aaron because of his cool laugh!! 😂😂😂😂🤣. Over time they have interviewed some of my favorites most recently one of my heroes, Ace Frehley! A most excellent interview. If you LOVE Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, and LOVE to have a fun time listening to a podcast, then look no further than Decibel Geek!!!!

rokdrummer rattlesnske · Apr 2024

I have listened to a lot of Hard Rock podcasts over the years, but this best. Not only are the topics and music spot on, Chris and Aaron produce it it such a professional way. I even enjoy the episodes on topics I normally would not tune into. Keep up the great work men. And a Jackyl Episode would be awesome!
