When the Imbalanced Boys were 25 episodes into this podcast, they made the move to Pantheon! The occasion fell on the same day as Bruce Springsteen's 70th birthday, so it was a natural to feature his story.
In the 325 episodes since then, Markus & Ray have covered so many topics and artists, with many more to come! 350 down! 350 to go? Time will tell...
Explore all 350 eps right here on our web site, or wherever you get your podcasts (except Spotify, because they're dicking us!)
Thank you for your love and support these last few years! Keep listening and we'll keep making more episodes of The Imbalanced History Of Rock & Roll!!!

MMROC Co-Hosts Jon Verno & Metal Walt share their personal experiences & stories from recent Armored Saint & Saxon concerts in upstate NY & northern NJ. Both events occurred in different cities over a 24-hour period, & each show included informal meet ups with the Band members, both before & after the gig itself. This special episode is an inside look at the hard work that it takes to build rapport with the PR & Press Reps., & the Band members & crew themselves, & just how these face-to-face experiences go down! This is not a concert review episode, but first-hand stories told from our Hosts on the conversations held in the venues, dressing room, & tour bus with these legendary Metal Bands (Top in class Musicians who are classy, funny as hell & MMROC fit right in for the shenanigans). Two amazing experiences, non-stop Heavy Metal talk, drinking, ball-busting, & our course plenty of American & British humor. The inside scoop is all here!
