If These Walls Could Rock

IF THESE WALLS COULD ROCK is a raucous, emotional ride through the Sunset Marquis—the secret sanctuary of rock legends for over 60 years. From Ringo to Slash, Cyndi Lauper to Morrissey, its halls echo with iconic stories of debauchery, creativity, and reinvention. At its heart is a deeper tale: how a visionary founder and his son rescued the Marquis from ruin and rebuilt it as a haven for artists. A love letter to music, mayhem, and the messy magic of family—both blood and chosen.

Directed by Tyler Measom and Craig Williams. Produced by Rick Krim.

“The end product is fun and enjoyable but also relatable and rather touching.” - Decider

“Instead of only telling the stories of booze and drugs and destroying hotel rooms, the program instead focuses on not just the people who lived through it, but those who were wronged by the short nature of the metal craze and who survived to talk about it.” - Forbes

“It turns out what many may assume is I Wanna Rock‘s biggest weakness is truly its biggest strength — without more well-known names like Vince Neil and Axl Rose, the docuseries is spared a lot of still inflated egos, and is able to stab at deeper truths.” 4 of 5 stars - Giant Freaking Robot
