Chaz Charles, Greg "Wolfie" Wolfe, and Scott D. Monroe

Season 3 - 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?

Regarding...Series - Episode 11. Album Commentary with Greg Renoff
play

12/17/24 • 121 min

Episode 11. Album Commentary with author and Van Halen Historian Greg Renoff. As one of the most celebrated chroniclers of rock ‘n’ roll excess, Greg has a particular point of view when it comes to Van Halen III, and he’s not afraid to express it. Join your intrepid cohosts Scotzo and Chaz (Wolfie couldn't make it,) as they take in this episode that’s part history lesson, part rock and roll therapy session with the man who helped Ted Templeman tell his story, and has heard it all from those that know along the way. A man with a deep connection to the band and who counts among the I’s when asked, “”How many say why?”

Remember, Van Halen III Redux is the work of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Seaside Pod Review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Petty Project⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ultimate Catalog Clash⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast 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.

play

10/31/23 • 86 min

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 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??

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 8. Fire In The Hole featuring. Eric Senich of the Booked on Rock Podcast and the Van Halen News Desk. Join your intrepid co-hosts Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie, as they get Eric’s unique perspective and appreciation for everything Ed did. Many questions get raised and many answers kicked around, and one thing is for certain, our digressions stay on point. This is one of the most focused discussions yet, and Wolfie makes voting difficult, with this track, perhaps the most finished and finessed Van Hagar style track on the record. The Redux version becomes an influencer when it comes time to vote, will you be as hard to convince?

01/21/24 • 99 min

Another heroic and historic episode of the podcast that listens so you don't have to...with a magical and golden crossing of the podcast streams complete with Alan "Schatz" Schatzberg from RushRash, and our hosts crashing Schatz' gig before teleporting his azz back into this show. The streaming circle is complete with this wiz-bang mash up unlike any episode of the Regarding...Series before it.

In an incredibly brilliant cunning stunt on the Deep Dive Podcast Network, even if we do say so ourselves, Regarding...Roger and RushRash have crossed streams to create a fluid and flowing smashing of formats and general bustin' shit up episode - look away! SNAP!

Join Wolfie, Chaz, and Schatz in a listen through the epic and jazzy Us and Them from the original, on the bone, peri-peri sauce dipped wing, and wax nostalgic over a plate of boneless wings just what the song meant to them. Then listen as they listen to the train wreck that is the redux version. Mercifully, a little shorter than the original...but that's because there was not much to add to such a brilliant composition and collaboration with Richard Wright. St. Richard, perhaps. F*$k David, thank you very much!

🎸As always, Chaz & Wolfie are on the case digging into the what of this why...wtf?? Always 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.

Bu bum, bu bum, bu bum, bu bum...do you smell that? It's the madness we refer to as Regarding...The Season Wrap: our round table discussion of Roger Waters' Dark Side of the Moon Redux...a cavalcade of podcasting stars join Chaz and Wolfie on this truly final listen to one of the most questionable reduxings of all time, which should leave you, intrepid listener, feeling freshly reduxed and ready for a shower.

Join the conversation with Alan "The Schatz" Schatzberg from RushRash, along with the Sexiest Man in Podcasting, Scott Haskin of The HaskinCast, and that feisty British-Canadian everyone loves to call Lars, Kevin Brown, of the The Ultimate Catalog Clash, along with the newest member of the Regarding...Series of Podcasts Team, Scott Monroe as we slum through a group listen that had all of us groping for the volume knob and kill switch...We can't wait to begin season three of the Regarding...Series: Regarding Van Halen III. And it becomes pretty obvious at that...

Pointed questions persist, starting with Why Roger, Why? But from there, many more questions on motives, use of narcotics, band members, instruments, and using the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side of the Moon to maintain relevance...it's a "no-holes" barred aural pillage that will still leave you asking...for fucks sake...Why Roger, why? And what the hell's wrong with this lot for all of the time they've spent listening to this...work of artistic decrement?

Tear down the wall and join Chaz, Wolfie, and the rest of our all-star panel take one final rip off this bong-hit of a "season that was" on the Regarding...Series, and party like it's 1984 with one final example, served up with respect and for reflection of Mr. Waters, of what we consider to be redux done right. Whoo ohhhh!!

Roger! Get back, I’m alright Jack, keep your hands off my Dark Side of the Moon! Fakk, Chaz and Wolfie get beat over the head with some heavyweight add-on to the song Money...where the saxophone solo and the guitar solos go...and more than ever we ask...why Roger, why?

Join our cohosts as they dig on listening to the entirely unchanged original epic track, on headphones, with plenty of mints on hand...cool baby, and waxing nostalgic for Gordon Gecco and a message the guys don’t think they missed the first time, and a new message that leaves us wondering, even more, let us say that again, not to be rundant, but to be perfectly clear, we'd still really like to know, “why Roger, why?”

We digress and go on...we discover the origins of the lyrics Roger stole from the London Underground, and listen to him blather on about how he has a demo of the music he wrote for Money, in addition to those lyrics that, you know, he wrote. He makes that clear again, and leaves us a little torn when it comes to the music. If you were at a cocktail party, and you heard the music come on, without the vocal, you might pause, recognize it as Money, and go on with you conversation, enjoying the reminessing sounds in the background, but fakk, he does his best Tom Waites, and...well...it's "why Roger, why?" But...it’s the COVID for episode, and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing, what the hell is in those mints...

Grab your caviar and kick back for another fat-cat tongue-lashing and stern warning to choose more noble motives to guide your choice of vocation...cause they still ain’t givin’ none away.

In this break-one-off episode, hosts Chaz and Wolfie find some satisfaction and forego the courtesy flush while listening to the track Brain Damage from both the original and the Redux version of Pink Floyd's iconic "Dark Side of the Moon."

What a relief as the Digressionary Duo bust off some pent-up cheek-sneaks and bask in the after-glow of a number that ain't such a stinker after all. There's only one nasal cavity like Roger's, and he proves it's still his main instrument on this one. A tasty little track, but is it good enough to finally answer the question - Why Roger, why? - that's too easy and bollocks if our hosts know...

S2. Episode 10. Eclipse

Regarding...Series

play

04/21/24 • 85 min

The madness comes in for a landing with this, the tenth episode of Regarding Roger. Masters of Digression Chaz and Wolfie go all out in this drain-bamaged diversionary listen-through of the epic classic rock radio track Eclipse, the last track on Dark Side of the Moon. Redux follows suit, and thus we conclude the heavy lifting of season two, listening to Dark Side of The Moon Redux for the listener, so the listener doesn’t have to.

Join our hosts as they meander through Spotify rankings of Pink Floyd versus so many other artists we forget how many are covered. Chaz raves on and on about Live From Daryl’s House, the internet show of Daryl Hall, and convinces Wolfie to get hooked in with Daryl and his friends like Smokey Robinson, Sammy Hagar, Allen Stone, Fitz and the Tantrums, Tommy Shaw, Rick Nielson, Kenny Loggins, CeeLo Greene, Darius Rucker, Train, Rob Thomas, Joe Walsh, Howard Jones, Chromeo, KT Tunstall, Ben Folds, Grace Potter, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Toots and the Maytals, Nick Lowe, the Bacon Brothers...and so many more. Wax nostalgic with Chaz about having Kyra Sedgwick walk across his blanket at a Bacon Brothers concert. Ah, the memories.

And yes, we get back to listening to the redux version of Eclipse. We wrap up this listen season with comparisons to season one, what Lulu had going for it that Dark Side of the Moon Redux did not. If there had been more coverage, better press, more content, and greater context shared by the artist would it have been better received? If Roger hadn’t tried to sing, if he hadn’t added poetry and voiceovers, would it still be something you can listen to? The main question persists...why Roger, why?

When the hosts start pining for the improvisational stylings of Metallica and Lou Reed, you know it’s about time to wrap it up. Rather, the guys draw it out, going further out on a Rocket to Uranus than they ever have before. New heights in digressionary diversion and pointless nonsense, this episode really captures the essence of our final adjudication of Dark Side of the Moon Redux. Hearing Eclipse delivered with a James Hetfield staccato is worth the price of admission alone.

We wrap it up with a bow – here’s the message: life ain’t all dark. That’s the big epiphany of this album – that and we’ve determined that the answer to life, the universe and everything really is 42. Thanks, Roger, here’s your towel. Now...what would Daryl do? Roger – listen to Daryl, he is the king of Redux. Find out for yourself – tune in at Live From Daryl’s House.
