EPISODE #29 – Thirty years ago Van Halen got bold and headlined a two-month long stadium tour called “Monsters of Rock” supported by the Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica and Kingdom Come. The foursome also released, “OU812,” its sophomore effort with second lead singer Sammy Hagar (8th studio album overall). In this episode, the Daves breakdown “OU812” labeling it as Van Halen’s most varied album. The duo then analyzes the infamous “Monsters of Rock” tour including some anecdotes from one of the Dave’s personal experience at the festival in New Jersey. Then Dave & Dave interview Dokken drummer Wild Mick Brown who was on the “M.O.R.” tour and even competed for stage time on the Sunset Strip with Van Halen back in the late 70s with his pre-Dokken band the Boyz featuring Dokken guitarist George Lynch. Healthy scoops of VH News and a new Mailbag segment make this episode action packed with Van Halen goodness.
