Episode 19. Chaz has an epiphany and assembles the Regarding...Panel one more time to clear the air and make things right with the lead singer of the third iteration of Van Halen, Mr. Gary Cherone. Join Scotzo, Wolfie, Kevin Brown, and Josh Michael as they hear Chaz' case and weigh in with their own observations, opinions, and critique. Not your usual show, and one you don't want to miss - despite the lack of Kendall Mints coverage. And hey...one more shameless plug for our excellent new site: regardingvh3.com.Remember, Van Halen III Redux is the work of Seaside Pod Review, Tom Petty Project, and Ultimate Catalog Clash podcast host Kevin Brown and producer Scott D. Monroe, our own Scotzo. Listen to their Redux version of VHIII that's lighter, leaner, and in some circles a means to salvaging the disc a producer in a different circumstance might have produced. Ahem.Season 3 of the Regarding...Series - Welcome to the ultimate rediscovery of Van Halen's most controversial album. 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. To put it mildly. How Many Say Why is all they could be heard muttering to themselves, in a sea-shanty sort of sway. How Many Say Why? How Many Say Why?

Recorded at Ddoty Studios, we dive into a lively discussion about straws, which somehow leads us to Fergie – both her solo career and her time with the Black Eyed Peas. (4:26) We explore some of her most memorable songs, her impressive vocal range, and her collaborations with icons like Slash, Heart, and Aerosmith. Sean shares his favorite Fergie song to sing along to, while Todd offers an in-depth analysis of her vocal prowess.

We touch on Cornell's tribute, his vocal technique, and his powerful covers. The discussion continues with comparisons between Chris Cornell, Eddie Van Halen, Gary Cherone, and Steven Tyler.#podcast #Fergie #BlackEyedPeas #MileyCyrus #ChrisCornell #RockMusic #Straws #Vocals #MusicAnalysis #SeanAndTodd #DdotyStudios Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksMerch: Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

“Here And Now” Letters To Cleo may seemed to have suddenly shown up on the pop culture landscape in 1994, but the fact is, the Boston outfit had been grinding it out on the club since 1990. Their single “Here and Now” was an instant classic—a melodic dose of perfect pop stomp that showcased singer Hanley's powerful vocal delivery. The band tore through the ‘90s, releasing three perfect albums (Aurora Gory Alice, Wholesale Meats And Fishes and Go), appeared as the house band in 10 Things I Hate About You, played SXSW, and playing with everyone from Cheap Trick to Neds Atomic Dustbin. Oh, and I almost forgot: In 1996, playing Mary Magladene, Hanley co-starred with Extreme's Gary Cherone in the Boston Rock Opera's performance of Jesus Christ Superstar. In the early 2000's, Hanley was the singing voice for Rachel Leigh Cook in Josie and the Pussycats and though the band called it a day that same year, they did record 15 new and original songs for the Kids' WB cartoon Generation O! That will become important in a second, but just to round out the corners here, Hanley toured as a back-up singer for Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana venture, put out a handful of great solo releases, sang the National Anthem at Gillette stadium for the Patriots and got to work on her new career, composing all-original songs for animated TV shows like Doc McStufins, DC Super Hero Girls, and Harvey Girls Forever, to name a few. How's that career going? Well, in 2022 Hanley won an Emmy for songwriting on We The People. So I'd say, not too shabby. On that front, she and her writing partners Michelle Lewis, Dan Petty and Charlton Pettus created Disney Jr.'s Kindergarten: The Musical and Hanley is also co-executive director of Songwriters of North America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songwriters_of_North_America), an LA-based non-profit which advocates for fair pay and other rights for songwriters. As for Letters to Cleo? Well, the band may no longer be a full-time concern, but they pop up here and there to play gigs. They just completed a mini-November tour and they have a show on Jan 9th in Madison at the Majestic. Get your tickets now. Well, listen to the show, THEN get your tickets. Or multi-task.

EPISODE #106 - It's been four years since Edward Van Halen passed away and no tribute concert has ever been mounted.

https://www.youtube.com/live/ijwFzTTHMSQ?si=30pjq7OUSIGmAOLd In an interview with Billboard, Alex Van Halen explains why his new book, Brothers, co-written with Ariel Levy, isn't a tell-all. "If I start throwing dirt, it'll never end," Alex says. He acknowledges the appeal of sensationalism but stresses his aim is to honor the spiritual and creative side of his late brother, Eddie Van Halen. He believes much of what's been said about Eddie was inaccurate, often from third-party sources. “Before I die, I would like to at least partially set the record straight," he adds. Brothers, which releases on Oct. 22, centers on the Van Halen brothers' relationship, both personally and musically, rather than delving into band drama. Alex says the process of writing was emotional, reflecting on their 65 years together, but it also allowed him to explore his own motivations. The book details their family dynamics, including the influence of their father, Jan, a jazz musician, and their Dutch East Indies-born mother, Eugenia. Alex hopes to give a more sophisticated view of Eddie's talents, describing Eddie's ability to make the guitar "sing" and expressing frustration that people focus only on his playing, missing who Eddie was as a person. “Maybe people don't care, but I care. He's my brother." While the book covers the early days of Van Halen, it notably stops after David Lee Roth's departure in 1985. Alex acknowledges the band was “dysfunctional” but that their performances kept them together until the split. Roth's exit, he says, was “the most disappointing thing I'd experienced in my life, the thing that seemed the most wasteful and unjust. Until I lost my brother.” Despite years of tension with Roth, Alex says he's not angry, respecting Roth's work ethic. After Eddie's passing, Alex even called Roth first to inform him. Alex explains his decision not to cover the Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone years, stating, “What happened after Dave left is not the same band." He also confirmed he's uninterested in the Best of All Worlds tour with Hagar and Michael Anthony, feeling they're not doing the band justice. Alex also clarifies his recent drum equipment auction wasn't a sign of retirement: "I'll die with sticks in my hand." Despite battling spinal issues, he plans to continue playing, with advancements in modern technology offering hope for recovery in the coming years. Regarding Eddie's health and the band's inactivity before his passing, Alex says, “Ed had been dealing with cancer for quite a number of years... He was fighting cancer. It's as simple as that.” Fans can look forward to a new instrumental track, “Unfinished,” included in the audiobook version of Brothers, part of a trove of unreleased material the brothers recorded at 5150 Studios. While Alex says more will be released when it feels right, he stresses the need for high standards and the right team to handle it. He's even approached OpenAI to help turn some of the material into songs. Looking ahead, Alex expresses interest in turning Brothers into a movie but notes the complexities of the process. In the meantime, he's focused on three book events in New York, New Jersey, and California, where he'll sign copies and answer fan questions—though he reserves the right to pass on certain topics. Reflecting on Eddie's passing, Alex says, “He's not gone for me." He believes in the connection between them, rooted in both quantum physics and their mother's spiritual upbringing. “You cannot destroy energy, it just takes different shapes... That's kind of how it is for me with Ed.” Though the pain of losing Eddie remains, Alex finds solace in the idea that their bond continues. In a poignant closing note, he recalls writing in the book, “When I see you again, I'm gonna kick yo' ass…”

In another weird convergence of events and a crossing of the ethereal streams, Chaz and Shatz welcome Greg “Wolfie” Wolfe and Scotzo Monroe, Chaz' co-hosts on the Regarding…Series of podcasts, where the hosts listen to albums so the listener doesn't have to. The show has featured Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica, and Roger Waters' Dark Side of the Moon Redux. And since Chaz is technically a guest on this episode, Schatz takes the lead seat. Join us as we: Learn the genesis of the Regarding…Series and why these guys thought it was a good idea to create a podcast about albums people generally avoid. Hear all about how Eddie Van Halen took control of the board on Van Halen III and how he, along with Gary Cherone of Extreme on vocals, created what has become the most challenging record in the band's catalog. Get the low-down on the fan-produced Van Halen III Redux you've read about on Van Halen News Desk, LoudWire, Metal Injection, and others. A Scott D. Monroe, Kevin Brown Production. We learn about what Scotzo and Kev did to reimagine Van Halen III by trimming the fat and doing the job Mike Post should have. Straight up ask why we can't see anything, anywhere, about Rush's thoughts on Van Halen and vice versa. Get into a little healthy competition between the bands to figure out who's sold more records, Rush or Van Halen (care to wager?) How studio heavyweight Danny Kortchmar (Roger Waters, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne , Warren Zevon, Don Henley) was brought in to help produce a follow-up to Van Halen III that never happened. We announce a new Rush-based podcast, RushRash911! The wheel gives us a song fitting for our guests as we spin Freeze (Part IV of Fear) of 2002's Vapor Trail. It's a disorienting song that shouldn't work, from weird chords, crazy polyrhythms, and a lyric sheet that's got our eyes wide like a deer in the headlights.

Steven has written for Guitar Player, Guitar World and many other Rock publications. He has authored numerous books about rock legends Jeff Beck, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath, Free/Bad Company and Randy Rhoads. Here is PART 2 of our conversation. We begin PART 2 with the Sammy Hagar era. We discuss with Eddie's search for a new singer and his feelings about Sammy during the 'Honeymoon' period. What might have created the rift between Eddie & Sammy? What might be the reason for Eddie's drive and obsession with music to the detriment of his own health and relationships? Was Eddie able to achieve happiness in his life? What was the difference between Eddie the ROCKSTAR and Eddie the MAN? We delve into Van Halen III with Gary Cherone. How did Eddie feel about his 3rd singer and how did we deal with the crushing public rejection of the record and of Gary? We also discuss the loss of the friendship between Steven and Eddie. Who were some of the friends that Eddie had both in and out of the industry? I ask Steven some questions about Eddie from my lifelong friends Tom Lang & John Hardin. Steven gives us some great answers to these questions:) Buy TONECHASER! www.tonechaserbook.com And please leave a review!:) All of this, and of course, we put Steven on the HOT SEAT by asking the 10 questions made famous by Bernard Pivot and then James Lipton on Inside The Actors Studio with a twist!:) Learn more about your ad choices.
