Part 2: The Story of The Rolling Stones
Q: What will the Rolling Stones be remembered for?

Garage Classics: The Story of Bruce Springsteen
Q: From your perspective, what is so special about Bruce Springsteen's live performances, and how did that translate into his studio work?
Peter Ames Carlin explains that Bruce's live energy, storytelling, and band dynamics shaped how his records evolved, with the live experience pushing him toward more sophisticated songwriting and a fuller band sound, while still staying rooted in working-class perspectives.
Garage Classics: The Story of Rush
Q: All right. Let's first talk, Sam, about Banger Films and your incredible array of projects. What was the inspiration to start Banger?
Sam explains that Banger Films began in 2004 to create in-depth, accessible documentaries about heavy metal culture, starting with Rush-related work and expanding into broader genre explorations.
The Story of Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys
Q: Can you recount for our audience how you came to be involved with The Beach Boys and why you moved to California to write a book about them?
Leaf describes his obsessive fascination with Brian Wilson and Smile after a Rolling Stone cover story, which inspired him to relocate to California in 1975 to document the Beach Boys and ultimately contribute to restoring interest in Smile.
Garage Classics: The Story of Led Zeppelin
Q: What ultimately happened to Led Zeppelin after Bonham's death and the band's life on the road?
The discussion outlines how the loss of Bonham and the strain on Page and Plant led to the band's dissolution and the shrinking of their collaborative drive, marking the end of an era.
