Episode 15. Van Halen IV...oh what tho could have been. Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie are joind by the Dave & Dave Unchained boys for a wild ride through the missed expectations and fan let down that was the hype, lead up to, and ultimate WTF it's over ending for the VHIII iteration of the band, as they were on the path to delivering a second record with Gary Cherone. Based on what we know, should it remain "in the stinker", or should some WB executive's kid dig the Van Halen "Love" CD out of that box in the garage from dad's old office and post it to the inter-webs? You be the judge...

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 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?

Episode 14. That’s Why I Love You with special guest CJ Chilvers, author of The Van Halen Encyclopedia. Yep, Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie have delivered a bonus episode that cleans things up by serving up the scraps. This is a track left on the cutting room floor in favor of Josephina. Was that a good decision? Was there more to it? A robust discussion, a "lost" Mitch Malloy take, and CJ's discussion with Mitch about the same, and a world exclusive debut of How Many Say Why.

Episode 12. Primary / Ballot or the Bullet featuring Chris Airey of Project EVH! Join your ever colluding and conspiratorial co-hosts Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie for a lively discussion on some of the greasiest, stankiest sitar and guitar playing you’ve ever heard. Chris has written extensively covering Ed’s playing continuously since 2014. He’s got a lot to say on these tracks and the album as a whole. This was a conversation so good, we did it twice!

Episode 11. Album Commentary with author and Van Halen Historian Greg Renoff. As one of the most celebrated chroniclers of rock ‘n’ roll excess, Greg has a particular point of view when it comes to Van Halen III, and he’s not afraid to express it. Join your intrepid cohosts Scotzo and Chaz (Wolfie couldn't make it,) as they take in this episode that’s part history lesson, part rock and roll therapy session with the man who helped Ted Templeman tell his story, and has heard it all from those that know along the way. A man with a deep connection to the band and who counts among the I’s when asked, “”How many say why?”

The Mad Reduxer himself contemplates reduxing the redux...and more.

Episode 8. Fire In The Hole featuring. Eric Senich of the Booked on Rock Podcast and the Van Halen News Desk. Join your intrepid co-hosts Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie, as they get Eric’s unique perspective and appreciation for everything Ed did. Many questions get raised and many answers kicked around, and one thing is for certain, our digressions stay on point. This is one of the most focused discussions yet, and Wolfie makes voting difficult, with this track, perhaps the most finished and finessed Van Hagar style track on the record. The Redux version becomes an influencer when it comes time to vote, will you be as hard to convince?

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.

Episode 6. Dirty Water Dog featuring the founding editor of ⁠UltimateClassicRock.com⁠, Matthew Wilkening. Join Scotzo, Wolfie and Chaz as they take in all of Matthew's stories of Van Helen interviews and insider status during the time the album was being made.

Having spoken directly with the band on several occasions, he has a lot to share. Matthew is also a fan and his appreciation of Van Halen shows he's a fan of all iterations of the band, and someone who can appreciate an artists more challenging works. We talk at length about the article and interview he wrote and published at the time, which you can read here. We also get some insider stories of being at the record label for the "preview parties", and how you tell a label exec that something "isn't quite" what you'd expected to hear from Van Halen?

So we listen to the studio version of Dirty Water Dog, then Scotzo has us endure the live version to make a Monrovian point...you can see that video here.

Ultimately, Matthew's wide-ranging musical background with UltimateClassicRock.com lead us on some pretty cool digressions. And we also get a taste of some of Greg "Wolfie" Wolfe's live shows in addition to his "never-heard-this-before" impression of the track, and the Van Halen III Redux version.
