A History of Rock n' Roll in Film and Rock n' Roll

Other Episodes

Next episode will feature a deep dive on "Better Off Dead" and conclude the Van Halen saga. But until then, please enjoy:

A very well-rounded view of VH history by Eddie Van Halen in 1990
Sammy Hagar's arguably sketchy claims about Van Halen's numbers before and after he joined
Eddie producing and promoting a band called "Private Life" who obviously did not go on to amazing things (but hey, even if you or I never heard their songs, they still accomplished more than most of us, eh?)
Eve Clarke interviewing me about my "Perfect 10" VH tunes of the David Lee Roth era
Sammy's tale of meeting Eddie for the first time and joining Van Halen
The final installments of my real-time (and space-time) reactions to the Art Linson/Cameron Crowe teen epic that had a lot going for it even if it didn't come out fully cooked - "The Wild Life," starring Nice Guy Eddie, Marty McFly's mom, Vincent Vega's heroin dealer, Clark Griswold's cousin Eddie, and the "Wanna take a bath?" gal from Pink Floyd's Wall film adaptation.
