S3. Episode 7. Once

Episode 7. Once featuring Dave Criblez from the Dave And Dave Unchained Van Halen Podcast. Join Scotzo, Wolfie and Chaz as they get Dave’s inside take on what was going on with Van Halen at the time through Dave’s interviews with the band, his time on press junkets with Warner Brothers, and the insights gleaned from being in a room full of A&R people and execs listening to Van Halen’s most challenging work. Dave’s interviews with Ed, Gary, and even Diamond Dave make for some healthy digressions, those of the type you’ve come to count on in a two hour plus Regarding episode… 

And we listen to the studio version of what has come to be known as the best song on Van Halen III Redux, Once, and work hard to convince Scotzo not to revisit his treatment of Once for the redux. Been there, reduxed that well! Move along!!

We seriously give Once a fair shake considering the strong bias against this song by two-thirds of the hosting staff coming in to this episode. You may be surprised by the outcome of the voting. Maybe...maybe not.

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 VHIII⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠that'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?

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.
