Episode 59: Understanding Eddie Van Halen - Interview with Steven Rosen
In the newest episode we have the absolute pleasure of chatting with and interviewing Steven Rosen - a renowned rock journalist who has finally released his long-awaited book about the friendship he shared with the late great guitar player Edward Van Halen.
Steve has previously authored seven other books including biographies on Jeff Beck, Free/Bad Company, Black Sabbath and Randy Rhoads, and writes about what it was like being friends with one of the most iconic guitar players in the world - with whom he shared many hours at his Hollywood home, his 5150 studio, on aeroplanes, in cars - and even jamming on several occasions with Van Halen!
Steve was authorised to write Edward’s biography back in 1985 but due to several delays by Eddie, followed by his illness and then a disagreement with Rosen, the book never came to light. In order to tell the story accurately, Steven pored over hours of interviews and peered deep inside distant memories to create a book unlike any other out there.
Laz & Felipe are delighted to have Steven on the show and to talk about all things Eddie Van Halen!
‘Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen’ by Steve Rosen is out now and available for purchase here: TONECHASER BOOK (tonechaserbook.com)- a must have for any Van Halen, Guitar or Rock fan this Christmas!
80. 'The Colour And The Shape' - Foo Fighters (1997)
Long Live Rock 'N' Roll
09/23/24 • 32 min
Following the success of the eponymous, grunge inspired debut album, Dave Grohl recruited Pat Smear and Nate Mendel to join the Foo Fighters and help him write the next record. Also enlisting producer Gil Norton to infuse some pop sensibilities into the album, 1997’s ‘The Colour And The Shape’ would go on to be one of the definitive post-grunge albums - bridging that gap between the distorted, heavy, dark characteristics of grunge and the anthemic, accessible, softer side of Rock..

Episode 5: ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ - Pink Floyd
'Any Album You Like'
Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ is one of the most important albums of all time. It’s technological innovations were a glimpse into the future of modern technology + music, the iconic spoken lines were fresh, dark & true insights into the minds of real people, the album cover is one of the most recognisable pieces of music artwork and the album itself is in an elite category - taking its place among the ‘Top 10 Best Selling Albums Of All Time’.
Fresh from another one of their gigs, Laz and Felipe dive into the world of Pink Floyd during their writing and recording process for this seminal album. They explore the deep, dark mind of Roger Waters and his lyrical content, analyse the innovative recording techniques used to achieve Floyd’s unique and state-of-the-art sound and talk about how a Rock band achieved and executed one of the most progressive and ambitious albums of all time.

Episode 33 - 'Hunky Dory' by David Bowie (1971)
'Oh, You Pretty Thing'
Diving deep into the occult, dealing with his brother’s mental health and preparing to become a father for the first time - David Bowie spent early 1971 with these thoughts in his mind whilst writing songs and music for other artists to use. When he realised that this material was too good, he headed to the studio and recorded his signature Art Rock album, ‘Hunky Dory’.
With the piano arrangements of Rick Wakeman and the orchestration of Mick Ronson combined with Bowie’s honest lyrics and expressive voice, ‘Hunky Dory’ would be one of his most down-to-earth albums. It painted us a picture of his mind at that stage of his life and gave us “an honest account of a man struggling to make sense of his life”.

Episode 30 - 'Aqualung' by Jethro Tull (1971)
‘My God!’
In early 1970, Ian Anderson and his wife came upon a homeless man - whom she photographed and whom Ian dubbed ‘Aqualung’. The seemingly insignificant event would be like the falling of small stones that start an avalanche - for the interaction would inspire Ian Anderson to question his societal status, his childhood, his religion and, most importantly, his diety.
Jethro Tull’s fourth studio album, ‘Aqualung’, came out in early 1971 and was a fantastic deviation from what the world saw as ‘Prog Rock’ at the time. With a variety of stylistic influences and inspiration - this album combined Classical orchestration and instrumentation, Prog melodies and phrasing, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal riffs and Blues-y structures combined with philosophical, personal lyrics to become one of the most renowned and revered Prog Rock albums of all time.

29. Thin Lizzy
'Toughest Band In Town'
In 1969, Thin Lizzy began. Formed from renowned Dublin musicians: Eric Bell, Eric Wrixon, Brian Downey and Phil Lynott - this group would go on to become one of the biggest and best Rock bands to come out of Ireland!
Their legacy would go on to inspire and shape the ever-changing characteristics of Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and Classic Rock, but their own influences came from a wide variety of styles & genres, including: Irish, Funk, Blues, Folk, Disco, American R&B, Motown and early Heavy Metal.
With Lynott’s sweet, melodic vocals and aggressive bass playing, Downey’s pounding drums, the signature duelling guitars of Robertson, Gorham and Moore and the ever present musical homage to their Irish background - Thin Lizzy became a household name. But dig further down, beneath the surface, and you soon discover the consistency, quality and stylistic variety of this band that proves their worth and cements their label as Rock ‘N’ Roll legends!

28: ‘Bo Diddley’ - Bo Diddley (1958)
‘Hey, Bo Diddley!’
Bo Diddley’s 1958 debut album could be said to be the defining transition from American Blues into Traditional Rock ‘N’ Roll. With a collection of singles from 1955-1958 and some newly written songs, Bo Diddley broke the rules of rhythm, lyrics, instrumentation and, most importantly, styles.
‘Bo Diddley’ is filled with innovative uses of the guitar, call & response phrases inspired by Gospel and Blues music, single chord vamps in which the instrumentation becomes key - not the chords and, most significantly, the Bo Diddley beat - a significant, distinctive rhythm derived from African dances and Cuban claves.
Laz & Felipe dive into this pioneering album and look at how Bo Diddley mixed and blended a variety of genres to produce one music’s first out and out Rock ‘N’ Roll albums!

Episode 34 - ‘Rumours’ - Fleetwood Mac (1977)
‘Gold Dust Album’
In the midst of affairs, divorces and heavy drug use, Fleetwood Mac headed into the studio in mid 1976 to record their eleventh studio album. 4 out of 5 members were in the middle of breakups (with each other!) and the band were in turmoil - often not being able to be in the same room as one another.
Yet what came out of those sessions would be crucial to the progression of Pop music as we know it. With stunning production, a variety of popular styles dabbled with and emotional/heartfelt lyrics that people could connect to, ‘Rumours’ would be the seminal Pop album signifying the transition from 70s Rock to 80s Pop.
Laz & Felipe take a deep dive into the mental state of the band as well as identifying and discussing the musical and lyrical content that worked so well in creating one of the best selling and most renowned albums of all time.
