Velma discusses the Hagar family's reactions to these life-changing ancestral revelations , the many questions these "buried secrets" now raise and she provides further insights as to the impact on their historical legacy.

S3 Episode 012: Re-Balancing BALANCE!
It’s early 1995. Balance is on record store shelves. Fresh off the European promotional tour with secret gigs in Holland and Italy, VH is back with perhaps their most powerful & polished work of the Hagar era. Some internal strife? Yes, we know that now, but the energy onstage was undeniable.
We wind the clock back, along with special guest Eric Senich of the VH News Desk and tackle a ranking of this historic record; the last with Sammy fronting the band. It’s a 12 down to 1 examination…with the bakers dozen 13 as we include Crossing Over in the mix.
Take a spin to see how we’re Feelin’ about Balance now!

So grab a cold Sammy RTD of choice as we UNBOX UNBOXED!

S3 Episode 010: A Talkin' Bout Tone Roundtable: From RED Riffs to The Brown Sound!
Just like our pal Steve Rosen, the Bo-Hosts are also avid ToneChasers! But since it's such a massive, elusive and highly-subjective topic, it needed a Righteous Roundtable of "Co-BoHosts" assembled to help sort the "Little White Lies" from the "High Hopes"!
In this 1st episode of what will be an ongoing series featuring a rotating roster of roundtable guests, the Bo-Host's wrangled some of their closest confidants, ED-Heads and REDheads to discuss their individual paths to playing guitar, their gateway to VH, opinions on Eddie's tone, Sammy's tone, and their favorite guitars n' gear!
It's a biggie, so sit back, crack several Red Rocker Lagers, and lets venture deep into the pleasure dome of tone!

S3 Episode 009: Red Rocker Lager Launch Party from Detroit Rock City...and Sammy crashes the 'cast!!!
As Redheads know, Sammy's all about the 9’s. So, 'welcome to the Cabo Wabo’ as we reach Episode #9! Plus, with Sammy himself unexpectedly crashing the cast while we were at the Fillmore to cover the launch of Red Rocker Lager, releasing it (right) now makes it an extra special Holiday gift for our faithful listeners!
Pull up a chair, crack a cold one, pour yourself a shot o' Santo and enjoy this special LIVE episode (recorded WITHOUT A NET, of course), at the legendary Fillmore Detroit, where the Bo-Hosts sit down with Eric Schubert, CEO/Partner of Red Rocker Brewing! Then, as speculation on the setlist is about to unfold, the man himself made a bee-line from shaking hands and greeting his guests to hang with the Bo-Hosts!
