Episode 29 - Montrose

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Van Halen

Greetings and socially distanced, fully sanitised elbow fistbumps to you dear listener!

Yes, your friendly neighbourhood Van Halen podcasters are back in the digital saddle and galloping towards you with another audio issue of nonsense!

Although things have been better...

Steve has just tried to open a bank account at a branch that doesn't exist, and Ross is having NASA-esque levels of technical problems.... but let's not worry about any of that now!

Why? Because it's the beginning of a magical (depending on your allegiance) new section of ATBVH!

Move over Harry Potter... it's time for 'Sammy Hagar and the Solo Discography Section of Joy.'

That's right! After completing an in-depth exploration of DLR's solo exploits, the boys are traversing a sidestep to the right (and milking the podcast for as long as they can) as they explore the Samuel 'Roy' Hagar (SRH?) post-VH body of work. Whether you like it or not!

Steve and Ross begin by parting this chunky mane of corkscrew curls and climbing inside that Red Rocking mind to take the first of many future strolls down Hagar Memory Lane.

Starting with – his first band – you know, the one beginning with 'M.'

Hmmm.... Mongoose? Don't be silly.

Monsoon? You're testing our patience now.

Monterey Jack Cheese? We're warning you...

MONTROSE!!!! Correct!! Yes, it's time for 'Sammy Hagar and the Montrose Rockers of Glory.'

Listen in wonder as both Steve and Ross use spoken words to uncover a treasure trove of Fun Facts™ and tall tales that surround SRH's first foray into rockyroll.

Expect new characters!

Dilapidated scooters!

Candy made from rocks!

Featuring cola can-eating goats!

Rancid goat milk!

And other pointless goat and non-goat tangents!

AND HEY, DON'T FORGET.... we use a fancy telepathy app to type with our minds on the Twitters @TalkinVanHalen and inside the Facebooks at Facebook.com/TalkinVanHalen. So keep tweeting us tweetings and faceposting us faceposts and we'll shout you out via spoken fireworks in our next episode. However, if you want the biggest shoutout since records began... give our podcast a review on one of the many reputable podcast outlets for an absolute ticker-tape parade of a mention.

Stay safe out there dear listeners! Wash your hands, scrub your toes and more importantly.... be excellent to each other.
