Show Notes

VAN HALEN WITHOUT HAGAR OR DAVE! It's been a year, but we're back for the third time 'round. And speaking of the third time around, Van Halen tries to try out their third lead singer in this bloated '90s misstep. How much of this is Gary Cherone's fault? Why is the guy behind the "Law and Order" theme producing this? Who woul'’ve been a better fit for the band? Anthony Kedis? Courtney Love? Dr. Rockso? Randy Newman? Eddie himself? Did Eddie replace all the bass parts by that guy from "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club"? Why isn't this an Eddie solo album? Is this album as much of a punch in the gut as the cover depicts? How many say I? And why is this CD so goddamn long? Find out on the third season premiere of Detours and Outliers!
