Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Van Halen

Give me a surfboard! Give me a boxing ring! Give me bass turned very low in the mix and while you're at it could you make sure this album sounds as exactly like the era it was recorded as possible? Build it low? Absolutely not, it's time to talk.... Skyscraper!OU812? Don't mind if I do! It's 1988 – David has been touring the world, meeting up with ex-producers in coffee shops, taking umbrage with dexterous bass guitarists and having nightmares with the dry cleaning bill of Steve Vai's billowy shirts. We dive deep into the photoshoot that nearly killed Dave, check the medical records of a certain Dr. Funk and learn all about the boy from Burnley who set the keyboard world alight (or at least the electricity bill from all those pesky synths!) All this and more in our mammoth building of an episode... it's all things David Lee Roth and his ultra-glam Skyscraper!DON’T FORGET! We're on the Twitters @TalkinVanHalen and inside the Facebooks too at Facebook.com/TalkinVanHalen. So keep dropping us tweets and faceposts and we’ll shout you out on the next episode BIG TIME. However, if you want the megashoutout of ultrashououts, type the show a review on the ol’ iTunes for a verbal ticker tape parade! Fistbumps dear listeners, fistbumps!
