Rush Rash with Chaz N Schatz

Episode 36. Freeze (Part IV of Fear)


Listen Later

In another weird convergence of events and a crossing of the ethereal streams, Chaz and Shatz welcome Greg “Wolfie” Wolfe and Scotzo Monroe, Chaz’ co-hosts on the Regarding…Series of podcasts, where the hosts listen to albums so the listener doesn’t have to. The show has featured Lulu by Lou Reed and Metallica, and Roger Waters’ Dark Side of the Moon Redux. And since Chaz is technically a guest on this episode, Schatz takes the lead seat. Join us as we:

  • Learn the genesis of the Regarding…Series and why these guys thought it was a good idea to create a podcast about albums people generally avoid.
  • Hear all about how Eddie Van Halen took control of the board on Van Halen III and how he, along with Gary Cherone of Extreme on vocals, created what has become the most challenging record in the band’s catalog.
  • Get the low-down on the fan-produced Van Halen III Redux you've read about on Van Halen News Desk, LoudWire, Metal Injection, and others. A Scott D. Monroe, Kevin Brown Production.
  • We learn about what Scotzo and Kev did to reimagine Van Halen III by trimming the fat and doing the job Mike Post should have.
  • Straight up ask why we can’t see anything, anywhere, about Rush’s thoughts on Van Halen and vice versa.
  • Get into a little healthy competition between the bands to figure out who’s sold more records, Rush or Van Halen (care to wager?)
  • How studio heavyweight Danny Kortchmar (Roger Waters, Linda RonstadtJackson Browne , Warren Zevon, Don Henley) was brought in to help produce a follow-up to Van Halen III that never happened.
    • We announce a new Rush-based podcast, RushRash911!
    • The wheel gives us a song fitting for our guests as we spin Freeze (Part IV of Fear) of 2002’s Vapor Trail. It's a disorienting song that shouldn’t work, from weird chords, crazy polyrhythms, and a lyric sheet that’s got our eyes wide like a deer in the headlights. Freeze (Part IV of Fear) (FFS), this is a challenging song that's right up our guests...ally.

      We name-drop some of our usual suspects like ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rushvault.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and we are always thinking about ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rushisaband.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and our fantabulous sponsor, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Danforth & Pape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠podcastle.ai⁠⁠⁠⁠! And we even nailed the Scratch List - go scratch that itch with any of these bands!

      Rush news, general nonsensical disorderly conduct, lack of regard for correctness or truth, and reckless endangerment of your whole-brain. This is the only podcast dedicated to increasing opioid release in your anterior insula, your anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), and your posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), in addition to the basal ganglia and the thalamus...and all that that implies.  

      Some thick North Jersey accents and they give you some royalty-free sound effects and movie clips too - what more do you need to indulge your urge to scratch?!  Join us - you know where to scratch - blah, blah...RushRash.
