In this final chapter, the Smugglers meet the ghosts of their future at a freezing arts collective in Switzerland: the rapidly rising garage rock 'n' roll band The Hives.
In 2001 VH1 debuted the show Bands on the Run. It was a massive hit, yet it only lasted one season... We felt like it needed much more attention. In the wake of Flickerstick's reunion (long after Soulcracker, Harlow, and Josh Dodes threw in their towels), we have decided to break down this insanely dated time-capsule of what-the-f*ckedness and talk with other touring musicians, friends, and music journalists about what they got wrong and what they got right. We head to Memphis with Ronnie Barnett of The Muffs in the van to take a closer look at Episodes 9 through a ton of laughs, cringe moments, and more.

So, this is the last episode for our third season... and it's the final episode of 2022. We could think of no better way to go out than having our old friend Ronnie Barnett stop by and Geoff Calhoun pop 'round to discuss one of our all-time favorite bands - the MIGHTY VAN HALEN!! The question of what version of the band is better - the one with David Lee Roth or the one with Sammy Hagar - has been a topic of discussion for fans of the band for over 35 years now. Now, no disrespect intended, but the Gary Cherone version didn't make the cut. Obviously, this topic is wildly subjective and wickedly charged depending on how many drinks you've had... and your audience. The lads make no attempt to solve the question about which lead singer did it best, but they do take a look at one album from the Roth era, Women and Children First, and one from the Hagar era, 5150. Under the watchful eye of EP Rufus Thunderlove, they kept it both civil and fun. Remember to have a few drinks this holiday season and spark this Van Halen conversation with your music friends. What could go wrong? Abandoned Albums will return with a shiny new episode on January 11, 2023. Thank you ALL for everything this year. From Thunderlove Manor and Thunderlove Studios, we wish you all a very happy holiday season.

The Muffs with Ronnie Barnett in conversation with David Eastaugh The band started as a collaboration between guitarists Kim Shattuck and Melanie Vammen, both former members of the 1980s all-female hard rock group, The Pandoras. The Muffs started performing and recording after the addition of bassist Ronnie Barnett and drummer Criss Crass. The Muffs released their initial 7" EPs and singles – "New Love" and "Guilty" (1991), and "I Need You" (1992) – on the West Coast independent labels Sub Pop and Sympathy for the Record Industry.[3] Based on the public and critical response to these early releases, the band was signed to Warner Bros. Records.[3] They established a reputation for "straightforward pop punk". In the words of musician and critic Scott Miller, the Muffs had "an uncommon flair for simple, catchy melodies" which, he noted approvingly, were always delivered in "Kim Shattuck's almost comically sneering adolescent rasp".
