Jordan and Alex run with the devil through the sunny streets of Pasadena to tackle one of the all-time combinations of musical genius and lunkhead rawk: Van Halen's '1984'! For this transitional record -- when the band stormed the pop charts thanks to Eddie Van Halen's controversial use of synthesizers, and the last to feature iconic frontman "Diamond" David Lee Roth -- Alex will drag Jordan through discussions of everything from Eddie Van Halen's guitar tone to Roth's insane vocal antics to the models of cars connected to the record. They'll detour through the insane childhood crucible that forged Eddie's virtuosity, recount a panoply of incredible quotes from the band at their heyday, and get firsthand experiences from one of the kids in the "Hot for Teacher" music video. Did we mention Jordan doesn't like this band and Alex does? Thrill to the tension of hearing the Nice TMI Guy being driven slowly insane by Alex's use of a David Lee Roth Soundboard! Too Much Information: Might as well jump!
