Linkin Park is strongly rumored to be fielding offers for a 2025 reunion tour - with at least three surviving members supposedly in talks to reform with a female vocalist stepping in for the late Chester Bennington… Why do these rumors stir up such strong emotions for us? Is the idea of seeing the surviving members celebrate the band's legacy (and assumably the 25th anniversary of “Hybrid Theory”) that tantalizing, or is the notion of Linkin Park continuing on without Chester simply unimaginable?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Also hear a ton of our other episodes featuring Mike Shinoda and crew: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMDTLLqaGPtiOqwzABoFsHbyNyRrkRyJn Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

How can a band or artist in good conscience embark on a multi-year “farewell tour” only to reunite shortly after? Is the money they earn from these tours worth the damage they cause to their credibility? And why do fans enable this behavior and pay a hefty price for the chance to say “goodbye” to their favorite artists (only to spend even more on tickets for the eventual reunion tour)?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Blidge, and Sinead O'Connor, to Ozzy Osbourne, Oasis, Lenny Kravitz, and Dave Matthews Band), which three deserve to be inducted the most?

Green Day releasing a new album in 2024 is gutsy considering they could have costed the year by simply celebrating the 30th anniversary of "Dookie" and 20th anniversary of "American Idiot"... so does their 14th album "Saviors" come even close to replicating the magic captured on those two game changing punk rock records?   Find out what Matt and Zach think in Epic Footnote Productions' “2 Minutes to Review,” a podcast that's part album review and part competition.

To say Taylor Swift had an incredible 2023 is an enormous understatement - between taking the world by storm with The Eras Tour and breaking records with the “Taylor's Versions” of her albums “Speak Now” and “1989”, the past year helped cement Taylor's legacy as an artist unlike any other… but what if she never re-recorded her first six albums in response to Scooter Braun by Big Machine Records (and in turn buying her albums' masters)? Would we be having the same conversations about Taylor Swift if solely focused on creating new music?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss during a new episode of "What If?" In this podcast series, we analyze hypothetical scenarios surrounding moments in music history that nearly happened, and hypothesize what the outcomes could've been if that “what if” became a reality.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

When Dolly Parton got inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, she promised to record a “rock” album to justify her inclusion. Well, not only did she make good on her word by recording a mix of cover songs and originals for an album aptly titled “Rockstar,” but also enlisted a stacked lineup of guests to duet with (including Paul McCartney, Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Steven Tyler, Pink, Rob Halford, Stevie Nicks, and a TON more) … but does the country icon hit the right notes with her attempt to be a rockstar, or do her covers of classics by bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones leave behind a sour aftertaste?   Find out what Matt and Zach think in Epic Footnote Productions' “2 Minutes to Review,” a podcast that's part album review and part competition.

Hearing new music from Guns N' Roses “should” be exciting. But does Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan opting to sporadically release singles instead of an actual album of new music dampen the experience? And does the fact that those singles - 2021's “ABSURD” and “Hard Skool,” along with 2023's “Perhaps” and “The General” - are merely re-workings of leftovers from “Chinese Democracy” make it even worse?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Also listen to a ton of our episodes featuring Guns N' Roses, including a past episode of “2 Minutes to Review” where we revisited “Chinese Democracy”:   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMDTLLqaGPtg7D2eZjKNTyUgR649j65yV    Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

The Beatles have unleashed the biggest surprise of 2023: a new song.

The Rolling Stones releasing their first album of new material in over 18 years is a big enough deal on its own. Throw in the fact that this also marks their first album since Charlie Watts' passing (as well as his last known recordings with the band), plus the guest appearances from the Beatles' Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and original bassist Bill Wyman, and you've got hands down one of the most anticipated rock albums of 2023.

Led Zeppelin wowed the world in December 2007 with a reunion show at London's O2 Arena. Yet while Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham's son Jason wanted to keep the winning streak going, Robert Plant made it immediately clear he had no interest in performing more shows. That led the remaining members to hold secret auditions throughout 2008 for a singer. Not much is actually known about these sessions (Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Alter Bridge's Myles Kennedy are the only singers to have publicly confirmed their participation, and it was never confirmed what Page and co's intentions actually were), but ultimately nothing came to fruition… but what if those 2008 sessions actually did lead to something? What if Led Zeppelin followed their massively successful O2 Arena reunion with a tour sans Robert Plant?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss during a new episode of "What If?" In this podcast series, we analyze hypothetical scenarios surrounding moments in music history that nearly happened, and hypothesize what the outcomes could've been if that “what if” became a reality.   Also listen to a ton of other episodes where Led Zeppelin is heavily discussed: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMDTLLqaGPtjRfjO-Ar1fKCXhAMVS02K8    Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

To say “American Idiot” gave Green Day a second wind is a massive understatement - it's the massively successful comeback album that cemented the punk trio's legacy as one of rock's biggest acts. And yet it almost never came to be - just a year prior to “American Idiot” coming out, Green Day decided to start creating a new album from scratch after the masters to a different nearly finished album “Cigarettes And Valentines” were mysteriously stolen… But what if the band decided to re-record “Cigarettes And Valentines” instead (or if the masters were never stolen to begin with), and in turn never recorded “American Idiot”? How could never releasing the landmark punk rock opera not only impact Green Day's legacy, but also the entire rock scene of the 2000s and beyond?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss during a new episode of "What If?" In this podcast series, we analyze hypothetical scenarios surrounding moments in music history that nearly happened, and hypothesize what the outcomes could've been if that “what if” became a reality.   Also listen to a ton of other episodes where Green Day is heavily discussed: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMDTLLqaGPtjVZNULUo_rDzcCG5bj4heg    Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

30 years ago, Nirvana released “In Utero” - an album that instantly became a commercial and critical success, despite the band's efforts to deliver a raw, stark contrast to its game-changing, mega-successful predecessor “Nevermind”.

Van Halen sent the world into a frenzy when they appeared onstage with David Lee Roth at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. But Roth and Eddie Van Halen barely made it off stage before they started butting heads like old times, with all hope of seeing the classic Van Halen lineup reuniting dying quickly. But what if all actually went smoothly between the estranged bandmates at Radio City Music Hall that night - so well that it inspired them to embark on a proper reunion tour right after the infamous VMAs appearance?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss on the debut episode of "What If?"

Creed not only plans to reunite in 2024, but to do so on a nostalgia fueled “Summer of 99 Cruise”... but we can't help but ask ourselves - why? Is demand for the Scott Stapp fronted group to reunite  “higher” than we think, or will most fans NOT embrace a Creed reunion “with arms wide open”?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Slayer may have one of the most die-hard, loyal and dare we say obsessed fan bases in not just metal or rock, but all music. Just wear a t-shirt of theirs at a random concert, and see how many attendees scream their name at full volume at the mere sight of their logo (even though the band isn't playing that show). So how did a band as brutal and diabolic sounding, with psychologically-horrific and downright blasphemous lyrics that would make even Black Sabbath blush, garner a cult-like fandom that made them one of the top arena and festival headliners in metal despite little radio or TV support?   That's what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Bamboozle Fest ended up getting canceled one week before it was set to take place in Atlantic City. And believe it or not, even more controversy surrounding the New Jersey festival's return arose since we premiered our initial episode (stream here: https://youtu.be/TMl3iFfEb6s) - from Bamboozle running promotions that on the surface seemed to undercut fans who purchased pre-sale tickets at extraordinary costs, to festival organizer John D'Esposito going after critics via his own podcast, and much more (oh, and don't forget about the festival never getting final permits!) …   Hear Matt and Zach try to recap it all in this follow-up episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Ticketmaster is no stranger to strong criticism. But the fiascos surrounding rollouts of recent tours by artists like Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen has brought tensions at an all time high - with the Department of Justice launching antitrust investigations into Live Nation, the Senate holding hearings about Ticketmaster's presale operations and resale markets, and even artists like The Cure's Robert Smith publicly demanding a revaluation of "unduly high" ticket prices and fees (mere days before tickets went on sale)... So simply put - what the heck gives with these excessive fees, numerous presales, and dynamic pricing? How did we let a single company gain such an enormous stranglehold on the music industry? Who's to blame? Can anything be done to rectify this?    That's what Matt and Zach discuss in the latest episode of “Am I Missing Something?,” a podcast where we analyze popular or unpopular bands, albums, songs or music trends in an attempt to figure out what we seem to be “missing.” The goal isn't to ridicule, but rather to gain a better understanding of what a majority of fans see or don't see in something that Matt and Zach simply can't wrap their heads around.   Want to buy some exclusive Epic Footnote merch, or listen to our episodes on another streaming platform?

Bamboozle was easily one of the most eclectic music festivals of the 00s - one that evolved from pop punk roots to a gathering of all types of genres. But the New Jersey festival's return after an 11 year absence has so far been… lackluster at best, with the rollout of its lineup and pricing causing lots of confusion (and frankly frustration) among concert goers who feel misled by festival organizers...
