  • Immensely entertaining.

    Love the free flowing nature of “Mick and Friends”.

    Full of great stories from those with a ring side seat to the circus….right there in the middle of it all.

  • Brilliant - but…

    Come on fellas - sort the mix out. Sometimes I listen to podcasts while walking the dog, so only have one earbud in so that I can listen out for traffic while on country lanes.

    So I only get half the conversation - it’s even bad in the car. I’m leaning across into the frigging passenger side to listen to Mick. I know you’re both getting on a bit - maybe ask someone younger to help you get the sound mixed properly

  • Honestly…

    I understand these guys are buddies and the banter is typical between them but after the 17th episode, it gets a little bit tiresome. Especially when they’re always saying “the dealer” referencing Mick Mars. Leave the man be for god’s sake.

  • Laugh out loud

    Always listen to this while walking the dog and I am sure people think I am an absolute weirdo due to my sniggering and explosive laughter.

    Thank you guys for making my days a little brighter with your witty commentary, banter, and great rock history anecdotes. 🤟🏻
