Fair Warning Episode 16: Several Kinds Of Truth
Mike is out. Wolf is in. There's a "superfan" behind the board. Old songs and fresh blood. Just goes to show, you don't know what you've got until it's gone. How did the final Van Halen album come to be? Well, it almost didn't.

Fair Warning Episode 15: Fan, meet sh!t.
All the chickens come home to roost in these dark times. Even a "Greatest Hits" record and a reunion with Sammy can't slow the freight train. Of the rare highlights, most of them were musical. We're going to listen to those too. It was either Jesus , or Gandalf that once said, "It's always…

Fair Warning Episode 14: VHIII. Get it?
This brings us no pleasure.

Fair Warning Episode 13: C'mon Dave. Gimme a break.
For the first time in perhaps ever, The Mighty Van Halen are forced to take an "L". When Dave can't seem to keep "monkey hour" in check on live TV, all future plans with him are put on ice. However, we did get a couple new tracks out of the deal. That was cool. This episode is all about the...

Fair Warning Episode 12: 1995 Balance, Cruel Irony.
They did it! Van Halen held their own against the grunge tide. While many of their contemporaries fell under the wheel of the new "corporate rock" paradigm shift, Eddie and Co. managed to keep their trajectory. For a while. All that goes up, must come down. I think that's in the Bible somewhere....

Fair Warning Episode 11: 1991 Van Halen Spells It Out For You
1991 was a strange year for pop music. "Grunge" was in. 80's metal was out. Unless that is you were actually a 70's metal band who happened to influenced a lot of these Seattle upstarts. This is where Van Halen finds themselves at the turn of the decade. Ascending to "Elder Statesman" status…

Fair Warning Episode 10: 1988 "OU812 and Other Dad Jokes"
Once again, it's all success. Turns out 5150 was not a fluke. Our heroes can apparently drop hits with or without a producer. Who could blame them for a solid "victory lap" with the "Monsters of Rock" tour? Not us. Especially a young El Pagano who saw this one in person. Let's do it til we're…

Fair Warning Episode 9: 1986 Toppermost of the Poppermost
Hello baaaaaaaaby! Van Halen Mach 2. Van Hagar. Whatever you want to call it, smells like somebody stepped in hit. Junior Gen Xers like ourselves welcomed Sammy with optimism. We also stayed in touch with Dave. As far as we were concerned, it was joint custody. The band now found themselves with…

Fair Warning Episode 8: 1985-1986 Enter Sam, man.
The middle of the 80's found VH at a fork in the road. Pack it up or soldier on. One of those was never actually an option. Who could step into these be-dazzled, platform shoes? Very famous/not famous names were thrown around and jam sessions were had. But nothing "jived" until they hooked up…

Fair Warning Episode 7: 1983-1984 Too good to last
Van Halen was poised to take over the world in late 1983. Eddie had just finished his new "5150" studio and was enjoying the creative freedoms that came with it. Alex had finally found that drum sound he'd been looking for. Dave was wondering if he needed these dudes at all. Last, but not least,...

Fair Warning Episode 6: 1981-1982 and the release of "Diver Down"
Do you love it when Van Halen does a cover song? Do you have sheep in need of hiding? Is 5150 Studio still technically a "racquetball court" in the eyes of the Los Angeles Permitting Department? We answered none of these questions but we tried really hard. In fact, I'd say we gave this episode…

Fair Warning Episode 5: 1981 and the release of Van Halen's "Fair Warning"
Well, well, well. Isn't this the episode we've all been waiting for? Hands down, our favorite Van Halen album unanimously. No shit. We named the show after it. Join us as we try to contain ourselves while gushing all over this record. Want fair and balanced coverage? Go somewhere else. We love…

Fair Warning Episode 4: 1980 and Van Halen's release of "Women And Children First"
3rd album in the can. Took a whoppin 3 weeks. Go on tour for 8 months. No problem. What could possibly go wrong for our heroes?

Fair Warning Episode 3: Van Halen II and the Never Ending Road
You just had one of the hottest debut albums ever. You have opened for your heroes and blown them off the stage. What next? Sit back and take it all in? We think not. Time to get right back into the studio and do it all over again. Strap in. Van Halen won't be taking their foot off the gas…

Fair Warning Episode 2: The Debut Album Van Halen
Join Augie, Chris, and Jared as they dig deep into the making of Van Halen's first album and the tours that followed. How did Eddie get the idea for the iconic striped guitar? Where did Diamond Dave get all those moves? What will guitar players in the 70's going to do now that the book has been...
