Steve and Darren have a blast talking with Doug Brod, author of They Just Seem A Little Weird: How KISS, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith and Starz Remade Rock and Roll. Doug talks about the influences those bands had on so many musicians, the artist that connects them all and so much more. And yes, there's a couple of connections with David Lee Roth and Van Halen. At the top: Steve and Darren talk about the recently-released Alex Van Halen interview in Modern Drummer.

They Just Seem A Little Weird: How KISS, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith and Starz Remade Rock and Roll is a fantastic book and you can find it online and in your favorite bookstore. If you've been a fan of any of those bands, or all, you have to read this book! Follow Doug on Twitter: @DougBrod
