It’s early 1995. Balance is on record store shelves. Fresh off the European promotional tour with secret gigs in Holland and Italy, VH is back with perhaps their most powerful & polished work of the Hagar era. Some internal strife? Yes, we know that now, but the energy onstage was undeniable. 

We wind the clock back, along with special guest Eric Senich of the VH News Desk and tackle a ranking of this historic record; the last with Sammy fronting the band. It’s a 12 down to 1 examination…with the bakers dozen 13 as we include Crossing Over in the mix.

Take a spin to see how we’re Feelin’ about Balance now!

Just like our pal Steve Rosen, the Bo-Hosts are also avid ToneChasers!  But since it's such a massive, elusive and highly-subjective topic, it needed a Righteous Roundtable of "Co-BoHosts" assembled to help sort the "Little White Lies" from the "High Hopes"!

In this 1st episode of what will be an ongoing series featuring  a rotating roster of roundtable guests, the Bo-Host's wrangled some of their closest confidants, ED-Heads and REDheads to discuss their individual paths to playing guitar,  their gateway to VH, opinions on Eddie's tone, Sammy's tone, and their favorite guitars n' gear!  
It's a biggie, so sit back, crack several Red Rocker Lagers, and lets venture deep into the pleasure dome of tone!

As Redheads know, Sammy's all about the 9’s. So, 'welcome to the Cabo Wabo’ as we reach Episode #9!  Plus, with Sammy himself unexpectedly crashing the cast while we were at the Fillmore to cover the launch of Red Rocker Lager, releasing it (right) now makes it an extra special Holiday gift for our faithful listeners!

The demand for "The Collection II" is the one of the reasons this podcast was started!  The Bo-Hosts ( along with millions of Redheads and fellow fans )  already KNEW Sammy's incredibly successful, but long neglected,  tenure in Van Halen deserved EQUAL respect & consideration to "The Collection", but that it would first require a sonic upgrade to again make this knowledge FACT!  Sammy's  stretch of multi-platinum albums are what Rock and Roll legacies are built and fans have waited so long for this to happen.  All we can say is... "It's About Time"!

But is this package worth the wait?  Would Mikey's bass finally be excavated and elevated to the levels it so rightly deserves??  Is revisiting the aural recipes we all know and love a slippery slope? Would 5150, and especially Ou812, get the added clarity and crispness that current technologies allow??? 

Join the  Bo-Hosts as they dig deep into newly remastered versions of these historic -and iconic- ROCK albums!   

All this, plus the Bo-Hosts discuss Sammy's recent 2024 tour announcement that practically set the internet ablaze!

To get The Collection II, please  visit our friends at The Van Halen Store:

In this episode the Bo-Hosts sit down with Brian Hodous, Chief Operating Officer of Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum and Sammy’s Beach Bar Cocktail Co.

Brian is a ton of fun and was born to RUM!  He's a helluva hang and a man who's stellar CV and career spans over 40 years!

Highlights include: serving for 12 years as CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) of ACTIVISION Blizzard and moving $17 Billion in product as CCO for beverage global leader, Cadbury Schweppes.  Brian quenches the thirsty Bo-Hosts by stepping them thru how he was recruited by Sammy to lead and expand his portfolio of premium rum brands as well as launch and market his top-shelf RTD ( ready to drink ) line of sparkling rum cocktails.  

Sammy felt that with Brian’s extensive knowledge of manufacturing, selling and marketing carbonated beverages, he was the best man around to authentically capture the Sammy Hagar lifestyle ( which Brian jokingly refers to as “Sammy in a can”).  

All this, plus the Bo-Hosts put Brian thru the Red Rocker Rapid-Fire - so don't walk, RUM to listen to this EPIC episode now!

Move over Mel, there's another "road warrior" in thunderdome ( or is it Pleasure Dome!?), and this one's worked with Tina AND Ike!

In this episode the Bo-Hosts sit down with the legendary Bob Daitz, longtime road manager for Van Halen, Poison, Ike & Tina Turner, and among other major acts, you guessed it, Sammy Hagar!  Bob Daitz is quite the personality, and, like Sam himself, is a firecracker-force-of-nature! He's a ton of fun and was gracious enough to share stories from his amazing career, the bands he's worked with ( and bands he wished he did), as well as insights as to what it's like successfully keeping a travelling a rock 'n roll circus on the road- and on the rails! Crack a cold one,  grab your passports, and join us out on the road!

In this episode the Bo-Host's get their drink on with very special guest, Cameron Schubert, of Red Rocker Brewing Company!  Ever wonder how sharp Sammy's palette is for creating brand-level libations beyond Tequila, Mezquila, Rum and cocktails?  Cameron let's us all in on how he helped develop Sammy's soon-to-be-launched, crisp & refreshing Mexican-style beer: Red Rocker Lager!! Cameron's a fun and down to earth dude from the Motor City who's " struck it RED" with this amazingly tasty beer!

And don't leave after after all the talk about Sammy's new suds  - stick around -  the boozy Bo-Hosts speculate further on the flurry of activity on Chickenfoot's social media! Is a new album on the way?? Will the foursome reunite one last time?  Crack open a cold one ( or 9 ) and enjoy!
