  • More of this please

    While I enjoyed the first couple seasons of the Regarding series due simply to the fact that they were deep diving into albums that others avoided, the Music of the Elder season has me hooked. The imagination needed to rework the album into a legitimate theatrical act was surprising and very entertaining. I didn’t entirely hate the album before but now I am actually planning to buy a copy and I will have this play running through my head as I listen to it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S5. Episode 8. The Oath
Q: The Oath, what do you want to say about it?
The discussion centers on the track's place in the Elder era, Paul Stanley's commentary on the song's heaviness, and how the falsetto and fantasy elements either fit the concept or reveal a misalignment with Kiss's trademark sound.
S5. Episode 6. Seb Hunter And His Elder Movie (Trailer...)
Q: How did the idea for Seb Hunter's Elder adaptation begin and evolve over time?
It started as a joke among friends, fueled by Seb's KISS fandom and a desire to reimagine The Elder as a film. Interest grew after they saw fan engagement and Guardian coverage, leading to a website, a crowdfunding trailer, and a long process of scripts and pitches, before financial constraints and logistical hurdles halted traditional production.
S3. Episode 9. Josephina
Q: What do you think about the song Josephina?
It has a concept about understanding one's mother but is not successfully executed as a Van Halen song.
S3. E19 CODA: Apologies to Gary
Q: Was there any moment for you where a light bulb kind of went off regarding your perspective on Gary's contributions?
Chaz mentions that his perspective evolved over the season, particularly after realizing the heart and courage that Gary put into his work with Van Halen, culminating in an epiphany he had while driving home from the gym.
S3. Episode 18. Wrap Panel
Q: What does the group think about the lyrical quality of the songs on Van Halen III?
Many guests expressed that the lyrics were pretentious and not true to the Van Halen spirit, contributing to the album's failure.
