Matt Reardon was born and raised in Louisiana, not the place you'd expect a longtime pro skier to grow up. But Matt isn't just a skier; he's a talented musician, a onetime frontman, who toured the world to shred his guitar and fresh powder. The crazy thing is, Matt can trace his life and times today back to two events that happened prior to high school: seeing Van Halen live and then seeing "Hot Dog, The Movie". Those two things changed Matt's life. On part 1 of his podcast we talk about those events, getting into skiing, Tahoe, Europe, and so much more. Chris "Uncle E" Ernst asks the Inappropriate Questions.

In this episode of My Rock Moment, I sit down with veteran music journalist Steven Rosen — author of Tonechaser: Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen — to uncover the untold story of the man behind the legend: Eddie Van Halen. For more than two decades, Rosen wasn't just a journalist covering Van Halen, he was a close friend, confidant, and witness to the creative fire that reshaped rock guitar. We revisit that very first night at The Whisky a Go Go, where their friendship began, and talk about the moment Rosen was invited to hear an early cut of Van Halen's second album — long before the world had any idea what was coming. Steven shares an intimate look at Eddie's humility, his complex relationship with David Lee Roth, and the moments that defined both the man and the music. Whether you're a lifelong fan, a guitarist chasing tone, or someone simply curious about the soul behind the sound, this episode peels back the myth to reveal the man.

Under namnet Mammoth gör Wolfgang Van Halen maffig grungerock. Som musiker har han fått vänja sig vid att verka i sin fars skugga. Eddie Van Halen var en av rockhistoriens främsta gitarrister och rekryterade 2006 sin då 15-årige son som basist till det återförenade Van Halen. Vissa fans rasade mot att Eddie Van Halens son tog originalbasisten Michael Anthonys plats. Andra gladde sig åt att det var Wolfgang som lyckades få sångaren David Lee Roth att återvända. Wolfgang mår fortfarande dåligt över hatstormen som riktades mot honom och undviker att göra Van Halen-covers. Hemma hos Strage pratar han om sin oro över att inte räcka till, om att vara introvert, om att hjälpa sin far att bli nykter, om när David Lee Roth råkade nita sig själv med mikrofonstativet och om nya albumet "The end" vars titelspår fått en blodig varulvsvideo regisserad av Robert Rodriguez.

Lead singer Raine Maida gives us a “peace” of his mind with stories about the time Sammy Hagar tried to get Our Lady Peace kicked off the Van Halen tour; how his band snuck out of the infamous Woodstock 99 before the festival went up in flames; and how pathetic Kiss' costumes look like without the band members inside them. In this short VIDEO, Raine describes what it's like when Nickelback is suddenly the bigger band and headlines the EnormoDome. https://youtube.com/shorts/iLz51DWhoQU OLP on IG: @ourladypeace Hear OLP's song Whatever (Redux) -- all proceeds are being donated to mental health and suicide prevention initiatives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDEv0rBFrY --- ***http://distrokid.com/vip/tmep*** Too Much Effing Perspective is supported by DISTROKID - the best way for Musicians, Songwriters, Producers, DJs to get their original music into Spotify, Apple, TikTok, and all the major platforms.

Episode 5: Gift of Flesh (with Josh Caldwell)This week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by podcaster, musician, and self-described “boneless couch philosopher” Josh Caldwell as they crack open Slang's most feral track — “Gift of Flesh.”Before the amps even warm up, the gang detours through Phil Collins tributes (and coconut oil stories you'll never un-hear), heartfelt reflections on Chaz's fallen heroe Ace Frehley, and a debate over whether harmonies are a Def Leppard necessity or just one more thing to lose in the grunge fog. Josh and Corey call out the band for ditching their signature layered vocals, while Scott wonders if “Gift of Flesh” is what happens when Sheffield meets Seattle — and Wolfie swears it's Foo Fighters before Foo Fighters knew who they were.The song itself? A muscular, riff-driven outburst that sounds like Adrenalize and Soundgarden got drunk together and woke up in a dive bar bathroom, with the Colour and the Shape all over their pants. Caldwell praises the raw guitar tone and the acoustic drum sound (“finally, something human”), while everyone else argues whether the vocals are gritty authenticity or just Joe Elliott forgetting he's Joe Elliott. Somewhere in there, they discover a lost version called Black Train, debate whether Phil secretly sang lead, and compare the riff to Ozzy and Van Halen before things inevitably derail into stripper metaphors for commercial success.This episode features:

Wolfgang Van Halen on A Different Kind of Truth: “The Fact That It Happened at All Is a Miracle” In a recent interview with Paul Cashmere of Noise11.com, Wolfgang Van Halen reflected on his role in creating A Different Kind of Truth — the final Van Halen album and the band's first full-length studio release since 1998. Wolfgang, who joined Van Halen at just 15 years old, played alongside his father Eddie Van Halen from 2006 until the band's final tour in 2015. He recalled how the 2012 album came together from the ground up: “It just felt like the right time for Van Halen to release new music,” Wolfgang said. “We'd toured, and the next logical step was to record something. Some of the demos started as early as 2009 — it took years. The fact that the record even happened is kind of a miracle.” According to Wolfgang, many of the songs were based on unfinished demos from the 1970s, which he discovered and helped bring to life. “A lot of those ideas were from the band's early days,” he explained. “It was a great way to get everyone back into that old creative mindset. It was fun — a lot of work, but I'm really proud of what we did.” Streaming Drama and Band Tensions The album made headlines again in June 2024 when it finally returned to streaming platforms after nearly two years of being unavailable. In a 2023 interview with Eddie Trunk, Wolfgang revealed the delay stemmed from internal disagreements: “Some people involved with the record don't like it,” Wolfgang admitted. “We've been trying to get it back up, but it's not easy. Let's just say those people were part of the record.” When Trunk asked if the person “with three initials” — a clear reference to David Lee Roth — was the issue, Wolfgang simply replied, “Probably.” Shortly after, Roth responded with a tongue-in-cheek YouTube video titled “Family Therapy.” In the skit, he mocked Wolfgang's frustrations about the album's streaming issues, even comparing A Different Kind of Truth to Muhammad Ali's late-career fights, suggesting it wasn't one of the band's finer moments. Wolfgang on Roth, the Band, and His Father's Legacy Over the years, Wolfgang has spoken candidly about his limited relationship with Roth: “We were cordial, but it was very business-related,” he told Rolling Stone. “We were always cool, but we only really saw each other onstage.” In later interviews, Wolfgang also hinted that Roth's difficult personality was a major reason why a proposed Eddie Van Halen tribute concert never materialized: “Some people made it really hard to get anything done when it came to Van Halen,” he said. “The fact that we managed to do three tours, release an album of new material, and a live record — that's a miracle in itself.” Wolfgang also set the record straight on how Van Halen operated behind the scenes: “People love to pin everything on Dad, but Al [Alex Van Halen] was the brain,” he explained. “Dad just wanted to play guitar. The Van Halen philosophy was always: if nothing's happening, there's nothing to talk about.” Eddie Van Halen passed away in October 2020 at age 65, surrounded by family and friends. With the band inactive since its 2015 U.S. tour, A Different Kind of Truth remains a rare and powerful final chapter in Van Halen's legendary story — and, as Wolfgang says, “a miracle that it even happened at all.” #ExclusivelyVanHalen #VanHalen #WolfgangVanHalen #EddieVanHalen #DavidLeeRoth #ADifferentKindOfTruth #VanHalenFans #VanHalenFamily #RockHistory #RockLegends #ClassicRock #GuitarGod #5150time #VanHalenNation #RockInterview #MusicNews #HardRock #VanHalenLive #SammyHagar #JohnnyBeaneTV
Blake sits down with Kyle Wolfe of Moon Guitars to chart the journey from teenage Van Halen brain-melt to full-tilt luthier madness. Kyle gets “voluntold” into his cousin's repair shop, learns the craft one fret polish at a time, and discovers that carving his first Tele body flips the big red switch that shuts up the brain gremlins. We get into launching Moon in 2018, ditching repair work, and the unsexy truth about small-shop economics: time costs, dust flies, and quality wins—or it doesn't ship. Kyle talks outsourcing finishes like a grownup, chasing a truly affordable line (factory samples inbound), and his design sweet spot. We are talking familiar bones with pointy '80s attitude. Sparked by the Fender Performer and blessed with actual John Page template tracings. We hit the Blood Moon, Troublemaker, Crescent Moon, and Zenith; the Mjölnir collab with Ravenkelt; how the Internet sometimes actually delivers; impending dad mode; and eternal laws of the universe: the BOSS OD-2 rips, pepperoni pizza is the people's champion, and cold slices at 1 a.m. are a moral right. If you like guitars that look loud, play forever, and don't apologize for either... this episode is for you!

It's no secret that we're rather obsessed with the 80s around here, so this week we're chatting with author Debby Meltzer Quick. Debby's first novel (the first of several!) is May I Have Your Attention Please, a mid-80s high school romance set in Eastboro, Massachusetts. Kevin and Debby discuss the novel itself, how much pop culture nostalgia to include in a story, how to draw from one's own life without getting too autobiographical, and much more. Including: 80s movies both well-remembered (The Breakfast Club) and largely forgotten (Give My Regards to Broad Street); going to the Worcester Centrum to see Van Halen, Ratt, and U2 (but alas, not Journey); getting up early for Underdog cartoons; working at the cookie shop at the mall; the weirdness of Orange Julius; early video game systems; bad coffee; new Coke; and the dining room carpet Debby has not been allowed to walk on for forty years and counting. We really enjoyed this conversation, and you will too. And if you can find Eastboro, Massachusetts on a map, please let us know. Debby's website! Debby on Amazon!

Sammy Hagar celebrates his latest live album, his ongoing Las Vegas residency, what it was like honoring Ozzy Osbourne and more in this new interview.
On this week's Keepin It Real, Cam's on his way home from a conference. He began making notes a few days ago about what his years and years of attending conferences has taught him. A bingo card might be fun, he says. ----- I speak at few dozen conferences each year. My audiences are the same – thinning brown haired, slightly overweight, middle aged white guys dominate each room. These are my people. I've learned how they like my content delivered and I do it for them each time. If I do it well, it may get me invited back. After twenty plus years, I've seen hundreds of events, and I've identified some meeting and convention themes that have become entirely predictable and that resonate with my people. First – Classic rock music. It will be played as people file in on day one, during every break, and after the final keynote. It will be vanilla classic rock. Nothing too loud, nothing too rebellious. You will certainly hear “Right Now” by Van Halen at least once and see the thinning haired men mouthing “Right Now” along with Sammy Hagar, thinking they're invisible. Maybe a flash of air guitar on their thigh. You'll also hear “Can't Stop the Feeling,” “Uptown Funk,” and “Happy.” “I Got A Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas will close out day one. Count on it. Second – At least one keynoter will deliver a lesson reminding us that children are born full of curiosity only to have adults and formal schooling beat it out of them. “Why do we do this to children?” they'll always ask. “Why can't we grow kid's curiosity instead of take it away?” My people will nod. This content shows up at least once in every conference, guaranteed. Third – Multiple speakers will give examples of how Apple Computer does things differently. Of how Apple sees the world differently. On how Apple's competitors didn't see the iPhone coming but the evidence was everywhere. Lots and lots of references to Apple and Apple products. The speaker will extrapolate some sort of grand lesson from Apple. Count on it. Fourth – 80% of presentations will use the word “disruption.” It's become the meeting and convention word of the century. Someone will tell of Blockbuster being disrupted by Netflix with PowerPoint slides showing the Blockbuster logo. Of Kodak being disrupted by digital cameras, with a slide showing Kodak film next to an iPhone. Count on this, too. Last – there will at least one mention of Warren Buffett and his investing philosophy and how his philosophy applies to much more than investing. None of my people would dare contradict a Buffett pearl of wisdom. Speakers know quoting Buffett will get lots of thinning brown-haired heads nodding. It's unimpeachable content. I've daydreamed of making a Meeting and Convention Bingo cards with squares filled with song titles, predictable Apple stories, predictable disruption stories, and the center square being “How is everyone today? I didn't hear you! HOW IS EVERYONE TODAY?” I'd pass them out at one of my conferences. They'd get some laughs. And I'd never ever ever ever be invited back. I'm Cam Marston, just trying to keep it real.
After being synced up with the zeitgeist with our "KPop Demon Hunters" episode, we figure it's about time to make some enemies and possibly start a fight.

It's been five years since the passing of Eddie Van Halen — one of the most influential and groundbreaking guitarists of all time. In this special episode, radio veteran and musician Keith Roth joins hosts The Vernomatic and Metal Walt to celebrate Eddie's life, music, and legacy. Keith shares his personal experiences meeting Eddie and Van Halen over the years, offering a rare, first-hand look at the man behind the guitar hero. Along the way, Vernomatic and Walt recall their own run-ins with Eddie, swapping stories about the first time they saw Van Halen live, the unforgettable riffs that changed their lives, and the moments that still give them chills today. Many fans also know Keith as the co-host of Rockstrap on the Pantheon Podcast Network, where he and Don Jamieson discuss their love of heavy metal with sports legends. Tonight's conversation taps into that same passion — music, memory, and the spirit that keeps Eddie's influence alive for generations.

He shares insights into the creative process, the band's deteriorating relationships, and producer Bruce Fairburn's crucial role in completing the project.

The Near-Death Fantasies of Chad Daybell: A Cult Leader's Mind Chad Daybell's prison letter #5 dives headfirst into his so-called near-death experiences, and the results are as disturbing as they are absurd. From claiming he “died” four times to describing heaven with the soundtrack of Van Halen's Jump, Daybell's words show the twisted belief system he used to justify his crimes. The hosts break down each claim, exposing how Daybell recasts traumatic events as supernatural confirmation of his “prophetic” status. They also unpack the psychology of why he frames himself as chosen, and how he warps basic LDS doctrine into a personal mythology. At its core, this isn't just a man telling tall tales — it's a manipulator creating a story he hopes will excuse the inexcusable. With humor, skepticism, and sharp analysis, the conversation pulls apart the contradictions. Daybell insists that God kept sparing him for a higher purpose — but the hosts point out that maybe, just maybe, the universe was trying to get rid of him before things turned darker.
