  • Summary

  • The legacy of Edward Van Halen is preserved and reframed in a leisurely manner with this ongoing series of relaxed-fit episodes. Justin Zeppa tries to recontextualize the argument for Ed's place as the greatest rock 'n' roll guitar player of all time for his sometimes-bandmate Aaron Bales. Aaron is very patient about it and is frequently rewarded with high-quality rockin' and some trips in a time machine.

    Aaron "The Schemer" Bales makes his triumphant return to the Sauropod and kindly endures a rambling lecture about one of Van Halen's signature tunes. Show Rule #1 is temporarily broken in a big way, but fortunately Ed's face-melting riffs and solos are here to carry us on a thrilling journey through time and space. The US Festival. Farm Aid. Tokyo '89. Breakfast Club dances. Everything you could possibly ask for in a podcast is here and probably being run through a Variac. Featuring Aaron Bales and Justin Zeppa.
