1/20/2024
Just like our pal Steve Rosen, the Bo-Hosts are also avid ToneChasers!

S3 Episode 007: It's About Time! The Collection II Review!

11/24/2023
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!

S2 Episode 010: Martin Popoff Sounds-Off On All things Sammy!

5/30/2023
In this episode your Bo-Hosts talk with the "Wise Swami" of Hard Rock & Metal, author, podcaster and mega-musicologist, Martin Popoff! Martin's a fun hang and fellow Sammy fan ( he's written 115 books including the must-haves on Montrose and the duo on Van Halen) but also says it like it is, so some of his hot takes may burst your headphones! You've been warned! We also cover Martin's thoughts on Montrose, Sammy solo, Roth Era Van Halen, 5150, OU812, FUCK, Balance, as well as his definition of the EVH "Brown Sound" and vocalist-wise, whether or not Sammy is the best - and last- man standing amongst in his classic rock colleagues! A controversial, contrarian, but a must-listen episode! What is understood....NEED be discussed! See www.martinpopoff.com for ordering info on his 115-odd books. Martin's podcast is called History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff and his YouTube show is called The Contrarians.
