The CMS Network’s Substack Podcast

On this episode of Aftershocks TV's VINTAGE STANDARD, Matt, Chris, and Tom dive deep into Sammy Hagar's 1984 album VOA, exploring how it marked a pivotal moment in Hagar's career and solidified his place as a major figure in rock music.

They discuss the album's creation, its standout tracks, and the impact it had not only on Hagar's solo career but also on his eventual role as the frontman of Van Halen. VOA showcased Sammy’s powerful voice and hard rock sensibilities, setting the stage for his transition into Van Halen's vocalist just a few years later. The album includes iconic songs like "I Can't Drive 55," a rebellious anthem that became a hallmark of Hagar's career.

The hosts break down the themes of the album, the production choices, and how VOA helped to define the sound of '80s rock. They also delve into the critical reception of the album, the cultural moment it captured, and its lasting influence on both Sammy Hagar's legacy and the broader rock landscape. Plus, they reflect on how the album helped pave the way for Van Halen's 5150, one of the most successful albums in the band’s history.

Fans of Hagar, Van Halen, and '80s rock will enjoy this deep dive into VOA and its role in shaping Sammy Hagar's legendary career.

In this episode of Aftershocks TV, hosts Matt and Chris tackle some hot-button topics shaking the rock and metal scene. They start by discussing the recent cancellation of the Sick New World Festival, breaking down the reasons behind the decision, and examining what it means for the festival scene, especially in the wake of growing fan interest in retro events and lineups.

The guys move on to explore a larger question: Can the 90s sustain a nostalgic resurgence like the 80s and early 2000s have seen in rock and metal? They analyze the cultural and musical landscape of the 1990s, debating whether it has the same long-lasting appeal as the decades that came before it. With the rise of alternative, nu-metal, and grunge influences in recent years, can bands from that era still pack a punch in today's music scene?

Matt and Chris also speculate on the future of nostalgic festivals and reunions, looking at what this means for both the artists and the fans who continue to crave a return to those iconic sounds.

Join the guys as they break down the state of the scene, dissect the highs and lows of music festivals, and forecast the future of 90s nostalgia in rock and metal.
