SH182: Remembering Eddie Van Halen

Johnny, Mishy, and Pig Kahuna - making his return to The Sausage Hut after a few years - get together to commiserate, honor, analyze, and eulogize Eddie Van Halen and the music of his band. The boys exchange their life stories of how they were introduced to Van Halen and what they were thinking during those formative times. Then Johnny and Mishy go through all the Van Halen albums: Van Halen I, Van Halen II, Women And Children First, Fair Warning, Diver Down, 1984, 5150, OU812, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Balance, Van Halen III, and A Different Kind Of A Truth. There is some point/counterpoint between Johnny and Mishy about David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar's lyrical abilities, the state of the world and the musical world during the relase of the different albums, the high points, the low points, and the feel good ending that is A Different Kind of Truth. The fellas also give their top five Van Halen songs. There's a lot more discussion you won't find anywhere else as well. RIP Eddie, you were the greatest. Binge away on The Sausage Hut Podcast!
