I’m probably the opposite of these guys’ target demographic as a 27yr old female, but they’re absolutely hilarious! I enjoy listening to them review songs I know and love as well as songs I haven’t heard before. Not only do you get to laugh along with their thoughts on songs, but you get some fun facts too.

The hosts of this podcast are insufferable, every episode is comprised of the same relentless parade of tired inside jokes and inane chit chat. They are outstanding at breaking down a song but they have absolutely no talent for podcasting. The show is just awful. That said, it's also somehow tremendously entertaining. When a new episode is available I typically stop whatever I'm doing, and immediately listen to the entire thing. It's my favorite podcast.

By far the best podcast ever! Got started on it from the Talk is Jericho appearance, and am on my third listen through of the series. It never gets old! I never listened to podcasts before this one and basically exclusively listen to this one. The commentary makes the KISS songs that I’ve heard hundreds of times seem like new discoveries. Even though I generally like every KISS song, some of the best times are when you guys just tear into some of the worst KISS songs. I thought I wouldn’t continue listening after the KISS songs ended since I started because KISS is my favorite band, but I’m so glad I continued. I’ve heard a lot of new discoveries that are great! Who would’ve thought someone could listen to a KISS podcast and somehow end up liking Addrissi Brothers and LL Cool J songs? Really hoping to get a Fozzy song soon and would love the Tooj to give his input. I hope this podcast goes on forever as it is AMAZING! Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do!

Whether you are a KISS fan or just a fan of rock and roll, you will absolutely love this podcast. I have been listening to these guys for a couple years and truly look forward to each and every episode.
Nick Jones, Andy Jones, and Chris Lathrop are musicians who offer great insight into a different rock song each episode. They have an amazing chemistry together and will definitely make you laugh. This podcast is the first thing I listen to every Monday morning on the way to work.
