Regarding...Series

Episode 10. Year To The Day featuring none other than the Mad Reduxer himself, Kevin Brown of The Tom Petty Project, The Seaside Pod Review, The Ultimate Catalog Clash and the forthcoming Rock Court! Join your ever diligent, vigilant, and integrus co-hosts Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie for an animated discussion on Edward's blusiest guitar composition, and whether that works with all that vocal, lyrics, presentation stuff...and does the Redux do anything to add glitter to make things gold?? The Mad Reduxer himself contemplates reduxing the redux...and more.

Remember, Van Halen III Redux is the work of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Seaside Pod Review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Petty Project⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ultimate Catalog Clash⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ podcast host Kevin Brown and producer Scott D. Monroe, our own Scotzo. Listen to their ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Redux version of VHIII⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ that's lighter, leaner, and in some circles a means to salvaging the disc a producer in a different circumstance might have produced. Ahem.

Season 3 of the Regarding...Series - Welcome to the ultimate rediscovery of Van Halen’s most controversial album.

At the outset, we represent a good spectrum of views: Wolfie is 100% no opinion on the album; Scott leans more positive but is in the middle and has some dislikes; and Chaz is ... appreciative as a student of Edward Van Halen, and empathetic to his artistic cause, but not a big fan of the final output overall. To put it mildly. How Many Say Why is all they could be heard muttering to themselves, in a sea-shanty sort of sway. How Many Say Why? How Many Say Why?

Chaz & Wolfie go far afield listening to the first real full song from Roger Waters' Dark Side of the Moon Redux - Breathe (In the Air). Comparing the new work to the original, our co-hosts lean in and find some fun facts about the original and Wolfie discovers an old Floydian thread that Roger is weaving through his new version. This week we end up making up many more questions than answers, in a Hobesian-Cartesian Loop and we're wondering what the hell was in the Descartes of Romney's Mints and the RogerBrau that Chaz was drinking...but the listen through the new track was fun with a fascinating twist...join us for a brave new version of an old classic. We're still wondering...why Roger, why? One, two, free, four...

🎸As always, Chaz & Wolfie are on the case, offering their unique, boneless insights, as only they can. And you know, the Regarding...Series of mini-podcasts is not political, not correct, and you're lucky we use spell-check. When facts don't matter and feuds matter less, we go into what we know and what we can google about each song from Dark Side of the Moon, then and redux, one track at a time, in a compare and contrast format. Each show we'll listen to the original, and how he butchered it with his new version. Er...we mean, the new additive interpretation work by Mr. Waters...no bias here. 🌟 Subscribe now and dive headfirst into the enigmatic world of "Dark Side of the Moon Redux" with Chaz & Wolfie! #RegardingRoger 🌟

Episode 3. Without You featuring Corey Morrissette and Mark Camire from ⁠⁠⁠And The Podcast Will Rock⁠⁠⁠. Join Scotzo, Wolfie and Chaz as they take Mark & Corey through the paces with the first divisive track off Van Halen III, the first single from the album, Without You.

Most commonly known as the "most Van Halen" track on the album in that it was recorded by Eddie as a demo when they first hooked up with Gary, and we know for historical fact that all of the members of the band contributed to the final recorded work. Does it live up to the Can Halen legacy? Are there parts of this song that could be considered "all-time great" or "classic" Van Halen? Only your ears will tell. And did Scott and Kev do a job making this song more of a "banger", we find out as our co-hosts take the first spin through the Van Halen III Redux version after listening to the original. Did they make a new nugget for Van Halen fans to slap some sauce on, or did we just toss another order of boneless wings in the trash? You be the judge - as it should be.

Episode 12. Primary / Ballot or the Bullet featuring Chris Airey of Project EVH! Join your ever colluding and conspiratorial co-hosts Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie for a lively discussion on some of the greasiest, stankiest sitar and guitar playing you’ve ever heard. Chris has written extensively covering Ed’s playing continuously since 2014. He’s got a lot to say on these tracks and the album as a whole. This was a conversation so good, we did it twice!

Episode 14. That’s Why I Love You with special guest CJ Chilvers, author of The Van Halen Encyclopedia. Yep, Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie have delivered a bonus episode that cleans things up by serving up the scraps. This is a track left on the cutting room floor in favor of Josephina. Was that a good decision? Was there more to it? A robust discussion, a "lost" Mitch Malloy take, and CJ's discussion with Mitch about the same, and a world exclusive debut of How Many Say Why.
