From their roots as lifelong metalheads to their guilty pleasures in disco and Motown, the duo delivers deep musical passion with equal parts reverence and riotous fun. They kick off with a tribute to AC/DC and Casey & the Sunshine Band, then trade stories of their earliest musical influences, Brad's Monkees obsession and metal awakening via Sepultura and Megadeth, and Jay's unforgettable childhood brush with David Lee Roth (and the comment that ended a potential stepdad relationship in one sentence).

Send us a textEver wonder what it's like to stand backstage with rock legends? Jay takes us on a nostalgic journey to his youth when he and "Long-Haired Mark" watched Van Halen perform from the side stage during the Monsters of Rock tour. These personal memories frame a fascinating discussion about how band relationships evolve – and sometimes dissolve – over time, with Van Halen's members unable to reunite even for a tribute to Eddie Van Halen after his passing.The music industry conversation spans generations of artists, from established acts to emerging talents. We dive into Hailstorm's upcoming album "Everest," Linkin Park's reinvention with a female vocalist, and Metallica's massive world tour featuring an eclectic mix of supporting acts. As we discuss Shaboosie's record-breaking 40 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country charts and the star-studded performances at Stagecoach Festival, the show explores how artists continuously evolve while staying connected to their roots.The heart of the episode centers on our listeners' passionate responses to the question: "What cover song is better than the original?" From Disturbed's hauntingly powerful version of "Sound of Silence" to Guns N' Roses' energetic take on "Live and Let Die," the conversation reveals how artists transform familiar works into something uniquely their own. We also spotlight independent duo Circe, examining how their DIY approach to music creation represents the changing landscape of artist development in today's industry.Whether you're a longtime music fan or simply curious about the stories behind the songs, this episode offers a genuine, unfiltered look at the creative forces that shape the soundtrack of our lives.

It also led to more drama, to Lamborghinis and Ferraris racing through the streets of Los Angeles, to military assault vehicles storming Beverly Hills, to crazed fans and loaded guns – and at the middle of it all, a modern-day warrior, a man with a code, trying to orchestrate his own survival.

Guitarist Eddie Van Halen chased the perfect sound while lead singer David Lee Roth chased the next party. They were also ruthless when it came to protecting the unique thing they had created. Nothing was allowed to stand in their way. Not bullies, bootleggers, cynical guitar manufacturers, record producers – even the members of Van Halen themselves.

Tonight's episode is a full-throttle dive into classic rock greatness and hands-on guitar geekery! We kick things off with none other than David Lee Roth—Diamond Dave—returning to the stage at the M3 Rock Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland! Roth brought the house down with a blazing set packed with Van Halen classics and fan favorites. Full Setlist: • Panama • Drop Dead Legs • You Really Got Me • Unchained • Dance the Night Away • Runnin' With the Devil • Mean Street • Atomic Punk • And the Cradle Will Rock… • Jamie's Cryin' • I'm the One • Everybody Wants Some!! • Romeo Delight • Hot for Teacher • Ain't Talkin' ‘Bout Love • Jump After that epic breakdown, we shifted gears to some '80s guitar nostalgia and gear talk. I gave my vintage Hondo Fame bass a deep clean—bringing back that showroom shine. Ron got technical and upgraded a Floyd Rose tremolo system itself, dialing it in for maximum performance. And I wrapped things up by changing the strings on my Firefly Ghost, a John 5-style Telecaster that's ready to scream. This episode is wall-to-wall rock history, hands-on gear upgrades, and pure guitar passion. #DavidLeeRoth #M3RockFestival #VanHalen #MerriweatherPostPavilion #LiveSetlist #HondoGuitars #FloydRose #GuitarUpgrades #FireflyGuitars #John5 #GuitarMods #GuitarTalk #RockLegends #VintageGuitars #GuitarGear #TalkingGuitars #JohnnyBeaneTV
