Episode 480 – The Betrayal After 1984 and New Music Revolution

We get back on track this week and continue along with our rankings of OU812 (paying homage to The Podcast Will Rock). We talk Alex and Bonham and how groovy they both are.

(11:25) How hard was it to discover Van Halen when Anne Murray and Burton Cummings were force fed to you by the media? And how hard was it when Van Halen finally broke through on mainstream media and broke up shortly afterwards for us? Were we resentful when Sammy joined and why? We break down our feelings and emotions as fans during that time period.

(19:12) Van Halen’s breakthrough also broke many other bands to radio, like Honeymoon Suite, Triumph, Huey Lewis & The News and Hall & Oates. We break down how radio would not play something popular until it was safe to do so.

Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.

A lover of stories, beer, and cats, and a master of none. Catch me talking to Geek Boy every so often for the latest comic book TV show or movie, Star Wars, board games and other things cool. Hear me give my two cents, relate them to other things I know, and make other recommendations!
