"5150"
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.
