At the outset, we represent a good spectrum of views: Wolfie is 100% no opinion on the album; Scott leans more positive but is in the middle and has some dislikes; and Chaz is … appreciative as a student of Edward Van Halen, and empathetic to his artistic cause, but not a big fan of the final output overall.

Hey there, friends. Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today, we've got a special “Music Nerd” edition of the podcast, featuring a roundtable discussion with two friends of mine, who also happen to be deeply talented musicians with long tenures in the music business. During a recent episode of Why Music Matters, I spent some time with the great Dweezil Zappa. Naturally, we discussed Dweezil's ongoing deep-dive into the music of his father, the late composer, bandleader and guitarist supreme Frank Zappa, as well as his April 29th appearance at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, NY. But we also spent an awful lot of time talking about a shared passion - our love for the iconic and dearly missed Edward Van Halen. Going down the Van Halen rabbit-hole with Dweezil gave me an idea, so I called my friends Michael Lee Jackson and Geno McManus and invited them to stop by the studio and join me in a free-form chat on all things Van Halen. Michael is a guitarist, songwriter and bandleader with a long history in entertainment law and artist management. Geno is a professional musician who certainly qualifies as one of the hardest-working men in Buffalo show-business. All three of us have been bonding over our love and admiration for Edward Van Halen for a few decades, at this point. And the topic never gets old - for us, at least. So sit back, grab a beverage, and join us as we dig deep, and do our best to get to the heart of Why Van Halen Matters, to us and so many others.

On this day in 1998, Van Halen released Van Halen III, their 11th studio album and the only one to feature Gary Cherone on vocals. Produced by Mike Post and Edward Van Halen, the album took a different approach from the band's previous works, incorporating longer song structures and experimental sounds. Despite mixed reviews and commercial struggles, Van Halen III remains a unique chapter in the band's history. In this video, we take a closer look at the album's creation, its standout tracks like "Without You" and "Fire in the Hole," and how it fits into Van Halen's legacy.

Hello, music lovers! Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today, I'm beyond thrilled to welcome a longtime musical hero of mine, the guitarist, bandleader and songwriter Dweezil Zappa. Growing up with the late composer and guitarist supreme Frank Zappa as a father meant that Dweezil was exposed to some of the bravest and most adventurous music of the 20th century on a daily basis, from a very young age. At 12, a random phone call to the Zappa home led to Dweezil meeting his hero, Edward Van Halen, and to the formation of a friendship that would last until the effortlessly brilliant guitarist, keyboardist and composer passed away, in October of 2020. During that time, Edward produced Dweezil's earliest forays into the professional music world, and remained a friend and mentor. Dweezil is currently in the midst of his RoxPostrophy tour, which finds him celebrating a seminal era in his late father's canon of work - the early 1970s, when Frank Zappa release both the Apostrophe and Roxy & Elsewhere albums. The tour arrives in Buffalo for a performance at Kleinhans Music Hall, on Thursday, April 29. (Tickets and VIP packages are available now, through DweezilZappa.com.) During our conversation, I asked Dweezil about this particularly rich period in his father's life and work; about just why Van Halen continues to matter to him and so many of us; about his brilliant, authoritative Van Halen podcast, Runnin' With the Dweezil; and about the difficulties of releasing and touring behind ambitious, complex music in the streaming-centric world of the early 21st century. Welcome to Why Music Matters, Dweezil Zappa…

We talk at length about the article and interview he wrote and published at the time, which you can read here. We also get some insider stories of being at the record label for the "preview parties", and how you tell a label exec that something "isn't quite" what you'd expected to hear from Van Halen?

Join Scotzo, Wolfie and Chaz as they take Alyssa along on their journey through this next track off Van Halen III. Alyssa's passion for Gary's artistry, and her Extreme knowledge and appreciation of Van Halen take the guys to a place no one expected Chaz to end up. Is that a good thing or bad? We get a lot of inside scoop on Gary's side projects, like his Who cover band, and his work with his brother, and what it's like to be in the same room with him and his energy. Alyssa's adoration of Gary is endearing, and it soften's some of the sharper edges in what's always a "trash Gary" party! (Apologies to no one.) And this is the stage in the show's evolution where we think people may be listening, so we invoke our right to make statements and issue our new call "C'mon Wolfie!" and we're not talkin' our Wolfie.

Welcome to Part 1 of Episode 45, featuring Steve Rosen. Steve is a highly respected music journalist and author of more than 1,000 articles and seven books, delving into the lives of iconic figures like Jeff Beck, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and Black Sabbath. His latest endeavor, ‘Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen', was published in 2022. The book offers an intimate perspective on the guitar virtuoso and Steve's friendship with him from 1977 to 2003. In the introduction to the book, Steve writes, “What you will read here is not a biography, a history, or an exacting chronology. You won't find discussions about tapping, taping, or touring. There are no in-depth analyses of album releases or his profound and absolute rewriting of the entire canon of electric guitar playing. . . . Rather think of this as a memory journal, a chronicle filled with observations, illuminations, and interpretations and what the hell does that mean? It means telling you about what I saw—the observing—shedding some first-hand light on what I was seeing—the illuminating—and trying to explain and decipher what I was witnessing—the interpreting” (XVII). Join us for the first part of my in-depth interview with Steve, and stay tuned for Part II, coming soon.
