The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

When the guys thought about what to do for their 450th episode, a lot of things came to mind. Around the same time, they were interviewing Steve Rosen, who wrote the book Tonechaser, about his friendship with Eddie Van Halen.

The phrase, '5150 for episode 450" just came out in a meeting, and so, here we are! The album was an important one for rockers in the 1980s! One of the truly great Rock bands had just broken ties with its front man, and creative partner... The VH faithful were devastated...

The recent event of April Fool's Day reminded the Imbalanced Boys that DLR's departure notice was given on April 1st... No foolin'!

Markus and Ray discuss the album, the impact in their worlds, and everyone's, and use some of Rosen's story to fill out the story!
