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.

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?

The Show

Three guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.) Join the guys over a plate of Buffalo Chicken Wings as they give Def Leppard's 1996 album Slang an honest listen and try to figure out just what the hell "Slang" means anyways. Is it too late for love or can we work it out to find a way to get Slang the love and affection it deserves? Listen as we listen so you don't have to, and discover for yourself.
