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.
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?

S3. Episode 2. Neworld
Episode 2. Neworld: from the official show notes of show creative Scott D. Monroe...is essentially our "intro" episode with just the three hosts, heavy on historical context, each hosts’ memories of the VH3 album and the tour; and overall opening thoughts on the album/era, and whether each host is open to changing their mind by the end of the podcast... Who the fuck knows if that's going to happen. With clowns to the left, and jokers to the right, and diversions and digressions galore, How Many Say Why?
Listeners of And The Podcast Will Rock will come to hear this as a continuation of a discussion started on that podcast's live show recap of Van Halen III, which doubled as Episode 1. of RVH3. In fact, it established an opinion baseline (not bass line Wolfie!) for Scotzo and Chaz to match or amend over time with this deeper-dive extension of what's begun on ATPWR. We're listening even deeper to this record so that you don't have to.
On this, the "bastard's maiden voyage" away from the CMPU mothership and the ATPWR broadcast stream, we revisit prior Regarding...Series themes: Redux. Seaside Pod Review, Tom Petty Project, and Ultimate Catalog Clash podcast host Kevin Brown graces us with a 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.

S3. Episode 4. One I Want
Episode 4. One I Want featuring CJ Chilvers, author of The Van Halen Encyclopedia I, II and coming soon...III! Saddle up with Scotzo, Wolfie and Chaz as they take CJ along on their journey through this next track off Van Halen III.
CJ's knowledge and insider status are beyond most mere mortal Van Halen fans. Our hosts go deep with CJ, uncovering factoids and tid-bits that will have you shaking your damn head. What was the chatter on the Van Halen list serve at the time VHIII was coming into being? What happened to the music video for One I Want? What happened between Eddie Van Halen and Geddy Lee, does anyone really know? We get to the bottom of what was going on in the Van Halen camp at the time and dig into what was described as "just a bunch of verses” and a "convoluted" song, their words, not ours.
Most importantly - what did Wolfie think of the track and did the Van Halen III Redux version change any hearts and minds on One I Want?
