The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

6 years, almost 400 episodes, as Dave Grohl might say, "But, here we are!"
Markus and Ray celebrate the occasion of 6 years of the Imbalanced History podcast with reflections and memories of their adventures in the name of Rock & Roll! Recounting the roots of things, remembering growth spurts (of the podcast!) and some special moments! The guys discuss the importance to them, personally, of the friends made through the interviews they've done.
Heroes welcomed!!! ('Nuff said?)
The last year has been challenging at times (old school podcasters told us the 6th year can be rough), but we're still here...because of YOU! And we couldn't be more grateful for your help in keeping this thing going!
Thanks as always to our friends at Crooked Eye Brewery, for their love & support, and to Pantheon Podcasts, the Rockin' Pod Network!
The Imbalanced Boys close this special episode with a "shotgun style 5 Favorites," of episodes in Year 6! Onward to 7, and beyond, we go!!!

It's a tough task to work out your 5 Favorites on just about any subject in this category of the podcast. When it comes to guitarists? Of the 1980s? It's a tall order for Markus and Ray, as they mass consumed Rock music in that decade!
It's not just one style inside of Rock, this episode bends to include it all!

From its roots as a railyard, through many changes, an association with P.T. Barnum, MURDER! & its move uptown, Madison Square Garden has always been at the forefront of entertainment and style!
Early on, the guys reference an article by Bob Mayer, which you can read here! It gives more detail about the changes through the years.
Ray delved into the various images of MSG, as it changed and moved, and has put together a cool blog about it.
There's really more info than one episode or blog can cover, but it is a start. It also opens the door for other venues, although the boys have done an episode about the great CBGBs, which is also a Game Changer, for sure!
One of the main things that happen at MSG are concerts, and in the second half, Markus and Ray discuss a shit ton of the concerts that have happened there, including some of their own experiences. From opening night through to today, it's all about The Gah-den!!!

Our UK audience knows David Hepworth, first-hand, for decades, but most of you might be learning a lot about this incredible human during this conversation!
From Live Aid, which is this book's starting point, moving forward he delves into The Third Age Of Rock & Roll!
David remains sharp-witted with incredible knowledge and recall of music history's biggest events! Here's hoping that he returns for another visit soon!
The cheekily titled, Hope I Get Old Before I Die, is available in e-books, and is almost out in paperback, releasing March 5, 2025!

When the Rock Hall deigns something special or best, there are always discussions among fans. Markus and Ray don't usually engage in this kind of thing, but something tweaked their interest.
