S5 Episode 001: 30 Years of BALANCE!

"BALANCE" turns 30 today!! Wow, where did 3 decades go?!?  In this bittersweet episode the Bo-Hosts wax nostalgic on this most epic of albums and look back on what was a turbulent era for their favorite version of the band.  The Bo-Hosts also discuss Balance's place in landscape of Rock N Roll circa 1995,  the interesting origins of certain tracks, Eddie's personal challenges, his gear &  evolving tone, and we also hear from friends & listeners on what the album means to them.  Sadly, Balance was Van Halen's final, full-length studio album with Sammy, and as we would soon learn, the cracks that are now easily visible were about to break wide open, setting the stage for, as friend of the show, Martin Popoff, calls "Van Halen's Dark Ages". As the saying goes, "Hindsight's always 5150!"Enjoy, and today, be sure to spin "Balance" at full volume in salute to this monster disc!"What is understood...NEED be discussed"Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=enX:https://x.com/BogusOtisShowYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBogusOtisShowTik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thebogusotisshowConnect with the Bo-Hosts:[email protected]
