- Nitpicks question the limited attention to Eddie’s disappearance without a body; local news reach and the band’s uncertain fame are counterarguments.
- The polished, multi-camera color footage of the early-1960s college concert is considered implausible.
- Season in Hell sounds too conventional to justify its supposedly shocking avant-garde reputation.
- A complaint that Frank learns piano impossibly fast is corrected: he already plays and Eddie teaches a rock approach rather than the instrument itself.
- The band members are considered unlikely friends outside music, with Sal and Doc the possible exception.
