The boys grapple with existential felt, reframe melancholy as a virtue, and use the scientific method to conduct an autopsy on the corpse of Joe Raposo’s tender 1970 identity crisis, “Bein’ Green.” News items and digressions include Iron Maiden snubbing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and new music from KISS tied to their Vegas avatar spectacle.


Ever wondered what really goes on under the hood of your favorite classic rock tracks? Rock-n-Roll Autopsy is a music podcast that operates like a lyrical and musical examination table, hosted by Scott and Rico. Each episode takes a single, often revered song from the rock canon and meticulously dissects it. The hosts peel back the layers of production, lyrical meaning, and cultural context, exposing the glorious excess, the hidden stories, and sometimes the sheer absurdity behind the music. Their commentary is a specific blend of genuine insight and a deeply Gen X, sarcastic sensibility-think less sterile academic analysis and more like a couple of knowledgeable friends debating in a record store, armed with a lifetime of listening and a steady supply of dad jokes. The core question driving the podcast is a compelling one: does this anthem still deserve its hallowed status, or has time revealed flaws that border on musical malpractice? Listening feels like being part of a funny, sometimes irreverent, but always passionate conversation that respects the music even while poking fun at its indulgences. You’ll come away with a new appreciation for the craft, or at least a great story about that epic guitar solo you never realized was actually kind of ridiculous. It’s for anyone who loves the genre but also loves to think critically about it, all while having a genuine laugh.
