Podcasts about Van Halen

Rambo Van Halen is a pseudonym. He's a Hollywood producer — the real kind, the below-the-line kind, the guy making sure the steel gets to the factory — who worked in the industry for decades, walked away in 2019, and wrote a book about it.The book is called Hollywood Samizdat: Notes from Below the Line. It's published by Passage Press. Lou read it. He dog-eared it. They talked for an hour. Topics include: what a producer actually does (mostly administration, definitely not what people think); what happens to actors when nobody says no to them for 20 years; the feminization of Hollywood and why straight guys stopped being able to do their jobs; military veterans vs. film school graduates on set (no contest); Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski, and the Amazon river; the unwritten casting rule about who can and can't be the butt of the joke; MeToo — the careers it should have ended, the ones it shouldn't have, and the Joe Gatt story that will make your jaw drop; and why Rambo Van Halen is not his real name and probably never will be.

On this morning's episode of the Metal Breakdown Daily, we are tracking some of the biggest, most emotionally charged developments hitting the rock and heavy metal circuits. First up, Atlanta progressive sludge metal titans Mastodon have officially broken their silence. We break down their newly released standalone tribute single, "Your Ghost Again"—the band's absolute first piece of new music since the departure and subsequent tragic motorcycle death of founding guitarist Brent Hinds. Drummer Brann Dailor and bassist Troy Sanders open up about the intense gauntlet of grief, tracking music in the studio while seeing Hinds out of the corner of their eyes, and what this means for their completed 9th studio album. Next, we move to a massive update out of the Van Halen camp. Toto legend Steve Lukather has gone on the record with Guitar Player magazine to shut down internet skeptics, promising that the upcoming, unreleased Eddie Van Halen vault tracks are "not throwaway s*." We take you inside the studio layout featuring Eddie, Alex, and Wolfgang Van Halen, and discuss the band's current high-stakes search for an iconic rock vocalist to front Eddie's final musical statement. Finally, we look at Metallica, who continue to operate at an unprecedented level of global dominance. The thrash icons have officially shattered the all-time attendance record for Germany's biggest-ever stadium concert, drawing a mind-blowing 94,000 fans to Berlin's Olympiastadion on the M72 World Tour. We break down the unique stage architecture making these massive crowds possible, the financial stats behind their $600M tour stretch, and their massive charitable milestone through the All Within My Hands foundation.

In this episode, the Bo-Hosts celebrate the 38th Anniversary of Van Halen's multi-platinum sophomore album, OU812.   Released on May 24, 1988, OU812 (pronounced "Oh You Ate One Too") debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart and was the Sammy Hagar-fronted band's second consecutive studio album to hit the top spot.  The classic, but equally controversial album (due to it's lack of low-end Michael Anthony), spawned four Top-40 singles, including the smash hit "When It's Love". But after 38 years, the Bo-hosts revisit the album's overlooked cookers, such as "AFU", "Source of Infection" and "Black and Blue", to discuss why they should be re-appraised, their VH rankings and their sonic-siblings!So crack open a Sammy libation of choice, set the DeLorean's controls for the sun-drenched days of 1988 and join the Bo-Hosts for an episode so big it needed to be split in half! "What is understood...NEED be discussed"Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=enX:https://x.com/BogusOtisShowYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBogusOtisShowTik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thebogusotisshowConnect with the Bo-Hosts:bogusotisshow@gmail.com

EPISODE #125 - One of the most important people in making Van Halen a successful band was engineer/producer Donn Landee. He served as an engineer on the first six VH albums with David Lee Roth and as an engineer/producer on “5150” and “OU812” during the Sammy Hagar years. Landee was also responsible for building Eddie Van Halen's home studio, 5150. The impact he had on Van Halen was immeasurable. Additionally, he worked alongside producer Ted Templeman on other famous acts like the Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Nicolette Larson and many others. In tribute, the Daves do a deep dive interview with author Greg Renoff who had conducted several interviews with Landee for his books ("Van Halen Rising" and "Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer's Life in Music") and an extensive story for Tape Op magazine. A fun Van Halen News segment and colorful mailbag session completes this May episode.Download the podcast for free on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Google podcasts, Amazon Music, Podvine or iTunes.

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into one of the biggest Van Halen stories in years!

Rizz is having an existential crisis after discovering his son's feet are officially bigger than his. The gang dives headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of watching kids grow up, the weird realization that childhood doesn't last forever, and why parents secretly measure their self-worth against shoe sizes.A family in California is desperately searching for answers after a delivery driver allegedly walked off with their cat. Yes, their actual cat. Not a package. Not a box. The cat. The crew debates whether the world's chillest feline was simply too trusting and whether every pet owner should now be suspicious of compliments from delivery drivers.Then there's the woman who somehow handed over her debit card and nearly ten thousand dollars in cash after falling for an unbelievable rideshare scam. The gang attempts to understand how these scams work while also wondering how many red flags a person can ignore before reality taps them on the shoulder.Meanwhile, an airline passenger claims a cup of coffee caused life-changing injuries in the absolute worst place imaginable. What follows is an in-depth discussion on airplane coffee, turbulence, questionable beverage decisions, and why nobody wants to gamble with hot liquids at 35,000 feet.The conversation takes another turn when Rizz discovers a tick between his toes and immediately starts worrying about Alpha-Gal Syndrome. Because apparently adulthood is just a series of increasingly specific fears.As if that wasn't enough, the crew uncovers one of the strangest side hustles on the internet: cosplay models selling "foot juice" to convention attendees. Yes, exactly what it sounds like. No, nobody is proud of humanity after hearing this story.Rizz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy? Is he about to start "microdosing life support" every night? Or will doctors somehow discover an entirely new category of terrible sleep? The crew weighs in with equal parts concern, medical expertise they definitely don't have, and relentless roasting.Things somehow spiral into a discussion about waking up twenty times a night, cortisol overload, testosterone levels, hormone therapy, NAD shots, and the possibility that everyone on the show is slowly becoming a science experiment. Basically, if you've ever hit your 40s and wondered what happened, this conversation is for you.Then it's on to movie theater controversy as Alamo Drafthouse sparks outrage by replacing their old-school paper ordering system with QR code phone ordering. The crew debates whether phones belong anywhere near a movie screen, whether glowing screens ruin the experience, and if Elijah Wood might be the most passionate movie theater defender on Earth.Meanwhile, Riz and his wife are considering a rare date night at the movies, leading to a surprisingly intense discussion about movie choices, theater etiquette, and whether anyone should ever be playing a game on their phone during a film.In Crap On Celebrities, the gang dives into music festival drama as performers start dropping out of the America 250 celebration while Vanilla Ice somehow remains standing. There's also talk about Riot Fest's loaded lineup, Tom Morello's latest festival announcement, Violet Grohl's debut album, Willie Nelson making chart history, and upcoming movies that might actually be worth leaving the house for.The entertainment world doesn't escape unscathed either. The crew discusses Brad Pitt family drama, Nicolas Cage changing his name to avoid riding the Coppola family coattails, Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally destroy an entire generation again, and the strange reality that kids today would rather stare at a tablet than play with actual toys.Then comes one of the day's biggest debates: the Mount Rushmore of arena rock. Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.What began as a normal conversation about wedding presents quickly turned into an absolutely ridiculous debate over what happens when a group of radio personalities starts shopping online with zero adult supervision. One minute we're talking about gift registries. The next minute we're researching blow-up dolls, discussing payment plans, comparing shipping options, and wondering whether a fully wrapped mystery package would instantly become the most talked-about item at the reception.Because apparently that's where our brains go.Would the bride find it funny? Would the groom appreciate the joke? Would security escort us from the venue? These are the important questions tackled by your favorite collection of professional broadcasters pretending to be functioning adults.Then things somehow become even more competitive with a packed edition of The Riz Quiz.Listeners step up to test their knowledge against the clock in a rapid-fire battle featuring geography, sports, movies, history, fast food, random facts, and several questions that instantly made people question everything they thought they knew. There were strong performances, surprise eliminations, and at least one answer that will live in infamy among breakfast cereal enthusiasts.We also discover that some questions are a lot easier when you're listening from your car than when you're the one actually under pressure. As always, confidence levels ranged from "I've got this" to "Why did I call in?" in record time.The result is exactly the kind of chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show: random conversations, questionable logic, competitive trivia, and a group of friends somehow turning ordinary topics into complete nonsense.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Amazon Driver Caught on Camera Taking Family's Cat During a DeliveryWoman loses nearly $10K after giving envelope of money to Uber driver in Lebanon CountyMan Says He Suffered 'Excruciating Pain' and Scarring After 'Boiling' Coffee Spilled on His Lap During FlightCosplay stars caught hawking truly revolting products at California anime festival — and they sold outShrey Parikh bounces back, battles nerves and dominates spell-off to win the National Spelling BeeMan tries to tear down Butler County home with excavator after argumentCrimeMan Back In Trouble Over Crack PunDrunk driver caught with 'homemade cannon' in VernonFlorida Man Allegedly Smashed Store Window With Chainsaw to Steal Pokémon Cards Worth $12,000Man Turns Himself in for Allegedly Vandalizing Restaurant Deck and Then Taking a Nap After Surveillance Photo Goes ViralPennsylvania man cuts pickleball nets at parks after injury ruined his summerBaked dirt accidentally served at Maine high school supperWearing only a watch, a headlamp and flip-flops isn't a great disguise when trashing a neighbor's motion lightTrespasser rescued after getting stuck in smoking chimney, arrested by Everett policeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summer officially arrived the second a teenager accepted cash to shave off his broccoli haircut in somebody's garage like it was a shady underground stock trade. This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a parenting moment every adult secretly fears: your kid walks into the house saying, “Dad… I think I messed up.” Naturally, everyone assumes the car exploded or someone got arrested. Nope. Just a fresh buzzcut and instant regret.Apparently the new trend among teenage dudes is sacrificing their curls for gas money, construction jobs, or whatever weird social experiment Gen Z is running this week. The gang debates whether the broccoli boys are evolving, devolving, or accidentally forming a 1998 nu-metal tribute band. There's also concern over sunscreen, dating prospects, and whether moms are legally allowed to roast their sons immediately after a haircut disaster.Then things somehow get even more chaotic with the return of the “Three Song Challenge,” where listeners have exactly seconds to identify legendary bands based on three song titles. Sounds easy, right? Apparently not. Friday's contestants embarrassed the entire listening audience, so this episode becomes a redemption tour for humanity itself.The daily comedy show spirals through rounds featuring Pearl Jam, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Soundgarden, Blink-182, Black Sabbath, Stone Temple Pilots, Journey, Weezer, Rage Against The Machine, CCR, Smashing Pumpkins, Mötley Crüe, No Doubt, Iron Maiden, Incubus, ZZ Top, and Beastie Boys. Some callers absolutely dominate. Others sound like they've never heard music before despite living on Earth their entire lives.There are screaming kids in the background, accidental team-ups between callers, confusion, panic, and enough rock nostalgia to make your uncle punch drywall in excitement. It's basically what happens when a funny podcast combines classic rock radio, family dysfunction, and game show pressure into one beautiful trainwreck.The gang also teases discussions about dating costs, modern beauty standards, and whether the legendary “dad bod” was ever truly appreciated or if society just gaslit average men for several years. Tough questions get asked. Few answers arrive.If you love a comedy podcast loaded with sarcastic humor, music references, weird trends, parenting fails, St. Louis chaos, and daily nonsense that somehow feels therapeutic, this episode delivers all of it. This daily comedy show continues proving that absolutely nobody has things figured out — especially not the people hosting it.And honestly? If somebody offers you $50 to shave your head this summer… negotiate harder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, the Bo-Hosts reflect on the 42-day emotional rollercoaster-ride between the soaring high of Van Halen releasing the epic, chart-topping "Humans Being"  inmid-May 1996, andthe crushing (absent) Father's Day low  of June 26th, the day it was announced that Sammy had officially left the band.What happened?! Why!? How??! Have we been living in the "Bizzaro" world of a Sammy-less Van Halen ever since?? "Humans Being"  rocked. It was dark, menacing and showed a glimpse of a band getting faster, heavier, just when we wanted them too....then, just over a month later- POOF! It was all over.You break this, I'll break all thatYou break my balls with all your crapTune in as we wonder why your life is screaming, as the podcast covers Humans Being!"What is understood...NEED be discussed"Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=enX:https://x.com/BogusOtisShowYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBogusOtisShowTik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thebogusotisshowConnect with the Bo-Hosts:bogusotisshow@gmail.com

Armored Saint guitarist Jeff Duncan pulls into the Krazy Train and Jasmin St. Claire is ready — because when one of heavy metal's most enduring bands drops a ninth studio album, you don't phone in the conversation. Emotion Factory Reset is out and Duncan breaks it all down — the writing process, the concept behind the new videos "Close To The Bone" and "Hit A Moonshot" including the real-life fighters who inspired it, and what it means for a band that has been together this long to still be making music that hits this hard. He gets into Armored Saint's legendary relationship with Metal Blade Records and founder Brian Slagel, why a brotherhood built in the early 80s Los Angeles metal scene is still standing when almost everything else from that era has fallen apart, and what playing the Rainbow Bar & Grill's 54th anniversary show felt like for a man who grew up on Black Sabbath, Kiss, Van Halen, and Judas Priest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chad and Alex are back for another Breakin' It Down, and this one's got range. Alex just got back from Cancun for a destination wedding, an all-inclusive, way too much drinking, and a hydrotherapy routine that may or may not have been medically necessary. Chad's got the sauna fired up at home, and they swap recovery war stories. They dive into Moms on the run, almost three decades, $10 million back into Northern Nevada, one salaried employee, and a Sunday stroll on Mother's Day through the Damonte Ranch wetlands. Chad and Alex are fired up about it and it's a cause worth hearing about! Somewhere in the middle, they get into Reno. From the homeless problem, the city permits, the politics, to GNR, Alice in Chains, The Band, Van Halen, Motley Crue, and a band name quiz. It's one of those episodes where you look up and an hour has gone by. We hope you enjoy!

You know that feeling when the “opening act” walks onstage and suddenly the headliner has a problem? We chase that exact moment from every angle, starting with a listener question that turns into a pile of concert stories, strong opinions, and a few names that surprised us. If you've ever left a show talking more about the first band than the main one, you're going to have a list by the time we're done.We also rewind the genre clock with a fun argument about 1970s rock albums that used to be considered metal. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Aerosmith, Van Halen and more become a jumping-off point for what “heavy metal” meant back then versus what it means now, from guitar tone and rhythm to vocal intensity and attitude. It's part music history, part “prove it” debate, and it explains why genre labels keep shifting with culture.From there we hit music industry news and charts across country and rock: ACM Awards chatter, festival legacy moments, Luke Combs continuing to stack wins, and why certain artists keep breaking through even when the market feels crowded. We also open the mailbag on topics fans actually care about, like fake industry news, bought streams, fake sold-out shows, influencer numbers, and whether artists lose mystique by being “accessible” online 24/7.We close with a feel-good highlight from Rascaloosa, a songwriter festival built around community and the J Fund, plus what it's like hearing the stories behind the songs while supporting a real cause.

The fastest way to time-travel is to press play on a song you haven't heard in years, then realize you still know every word. We pull up the Billboard Hot 100 from May 23, 1981 and take it for a spin, bouncing between classic rock, radio pop, and the kind of tracks that were simply unavoidable if you lived anywhere near a car stereo or a skating rink.Along the way, we dig into what's actually happening inside these hits: Billy Squier's “The Stroke” as a music business story, Santana's “Winning” as a case of “this does not sound like Santana,” and the emotional weight of George Harrison's “All Those Years Ago,” made even heavier by the Beatles connections around it. We also hit Tom Petty's “The Waiting,” Hall and Oates' “You Make My Dreams,” and the early MTV effect that turned songs into permanent memories, for better or worse.Then we get personal: a Jefferson Starship chorus becomes a full-on dinner-table bit, Rick Springfield's “Jessie's Girl” comes with a wild songwriting backstory, and REO Speedwagon's “Take It On The Run” gets a deep breakdown of why a vocal and a guitar solo can feel like one continuous emotional punch. We close out the chart with the weird brilliance of Stars on 45 and the long reign of Kim Carnes' “Bette Davis Eyes,” then jump to a modern live-music recap featuring Kevin Kinney, Peter Buck, and a surprise Mike Mills appearance, plus a quick Ramones spotlight and a final Van Halen 5150 tangent.If you love 1980s music, classic rock storytelling, and honest takes on music history, subscribe, and share this with a friend who lived through it.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

Who the fuck knows. But this week, we spun up another track from Sheer Heart Attack. It's the shortest proper song in the Queen catalogue, if you discount instrumentals and "Yeah!". It's a Bri joint. It's "Dear Friends"!If Randy were to title this podcast, he'd probably call it "Poor lonely Bri" or possibly, "Rog' and Deacy, get the fuck out of here, we're busy!"NOTE: Skip forward to 24:16 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the fabulous "Hijack the Show" by Absofuninlutely, from their black album; "Residential Gas Leak".

In this episode, Charles interviews filmmaker and vinyl enthusiast Steve Herold, best known for the award-winning short film Death of an Umbrella Salesman. Steve takes us back to the summer of 1984 and his first concert — the Thompson Twins on their Into the Gap tour at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey. He shares how the show almost didn't happen, thanks to a failed attempt to see Van Halen at Madison Square Garden, and how that near-miss planted the seed for a lifetime of concert-going. The real coming-of-age concert moment, Steve admits, came two years later when he finally saw David Lee Roth on his debut solo tour — a far wilder introduction to arena rock than the Thompson Twins had provided. Steve opens up about his most memorable concert experiences, including his best-ever shows: the New Jersey alternative band Dramarama at the legendary Fast Lane in Asbury Park in the early '90s. Those packed, sweat-soaked club nights — where getting to the bathroom was nearly impossible and crowd surfing was mandatory — turned Steve into a devoted fan and shaped his love of small-venue rock. He also recounts the 1996 Sex Pistols reunion at New York's Roseland Ballroom, an evening of full-on debauchery that ended with him and a friend finding a $50 bill on the floor — money that had fallen from the pockets of crowd surfers — and heading out to continue the night on someone else's dime. The image of punk-show attendees pouring out of Roseland and colliding with Broadway theatergoers on the sidewalk is one of the episode's most vivid moments. Beyond concerts, the conversation dives into Steve's YouTube channel, where he has spent years showcasing his vinyl and CD collection and visiting independent record stores during his travels for TV production work. He reflects on how the channel introduced him to a whole new community of fellow collectors — friendships that have taken him to record stores in Reno, Southern California, Long Island, and Charleston, South Carolina. Steve also discusses his filmmaking work, including the upcoming documentary about a former Hot Tuna drummer who is also a visual artist, and two music videos he directed for his friend's garage rock band Manflesh, one of which is set to screen at the Coney Island Film Festival. The episode wraps with a shared appreciation for the Wet Leg concert both Charles and Steve attended in 2025, and a laugh-out-loud detour into the chaotic legacy of G.G. Allin. BANDS: Agent Orange, David Lee Roth, Dramarama, Eagles, G.G.

What does it take to survive (and thrive) through every era of voiceover? Studio engineer, producer, and VO talent Mark Graue joins George Whittam to share stories from radio hustle to Hollywood studios, working with legends, and building a career that adapted from analog tape to today's digital world. From a near-disastrous timecode session to landing VO work at Hanna-Barbera, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons on engineering by ear, storytelling in demos, and knowing when to step away. Timeline 00:00 – Audio service promo 00:22 – Cold-call spec spots: the original hustle 03:12 – Breaking into Cherokee Recording Studios 03:36 – The Van Halen spec spot gamble 04:39 – Building a Warner interviews archive 06:10 – The open audition that led to Hanna-Barbera 07:39 – Buying Studio 5 and going independent 10:26 – Moving to Burbank and evolving the business 12:47 – Surviving the analog → digital shift 15:09 – The timecode session disaster  15:54 – Handling pressure when everything's on the line 16:17 – Why great engineers use their ears, not just meters 17:13 – Storytelling secrets in voiceover demos 18:01 – Memories of Don LaFontaine 20:10 – The “voiceover gypsy” era 21:46 – Life beyond LA 23:45 – Travel, boundaries, and no mobile rig 24:37 – Coaching talent and modern home studios 25:32 – Gear graveyard stories 27:16 – Where to find Mark   

Van Halen demanded only blue M&Ms in their green room. Everyone thought they were being divas. They weren't. It was a test. If the concert promoter couldn't get the M&Ms right, they probably didn't read the part of the contract about pyrotechnics and stage rigging either. Blue M&Ms = we read the contract = you're probably not going to die on stage tonight. That's what standards look like when you're a market leader. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down why most coaches think they have a marketing problem when they actually have a leadership problem. You think you need better Facebook ads, more followers, or the perfect Instagram bio. But here's the truth: the reason you don't have 50,000 people on your email list isn't because you haven't figured out the funnel. It's because you haven't decided to be a leader of 50,000 conversations every single week. I share the 3 secrets to becoming a market leader - the courageous decisions, elevated standards, and amplified authenticity that separate people who ride comfortably in the middle of the pack from those who pull out front and feel the wind, grit, and resistance. What you'll learn: → Secret 1: Take courageous action - Focus on opportunity cost, not absolute cost (what does NOT taking action cost you?) → Secret 2: Lift your standards to the next level - What are your blue M&Ms? (the small indicators of excellence) → Secret 3: Amplify who you are even more - Play the whole keyboard, not just middle C (bring out all the authentic parts of you) → Secret 4: Decide you're a leader before you feel like one - Leadership doesn't happen TO you, you decide it first → Why the peloton metaphor explains everything about market leadership → How one client went from cupcake company employee to six figures in 2-3 months (and what she did differently) Real insights from the episode: Why leadership is you amplified, not you in a suit being stifled and professional The moment Colin sat in a room with 4-5 market leaders and decided "I'm going to be a leader of market leaders" Why going pro doesn't mean hiring a massive team - it means deciding what you'll show up for consistently How Colin has delivered 317 podcast episodes and only missed 1-2 weeks in four years (that's a standard) Why market leaders don't wait for the invitation - they send it The difference between absolute cost and opportunity cost (and why market leaders focus on the latter) Interested in working with me directly to scale your Expert business?
