By the mid-90s, Van Ha,len was in crisis mode; while seemingly  still a successful band, ruptures between guitarist Eddie Van Halen and vocalist Sammy Hagar forced Hagar's departure from the band in 1996.  What followed were 24 years filled with chaos, egos, drugs, booze, and periods where Van Halen lay fallow for years at a time. 
 
Alex Alt (Slydog Music Cast) and me will explore the period 1996-2020, during which time Van Halen went through four singers (one of which you may never have heard of), yet only produced two studio albums, one of which remains a controversial and divisive one among fans to this day. 
 
We explore the good, the bad, the ugly and the...whatever, as Van Halen went from being a legendary band, to being rock's greatest soap opera; hence the reason why this episode is entitled "As Van Halen Turns."  Check it out!
