    The Van Halen podcast accepts no subs
    I’ve been listening to Dave & Dave since the beginning. Not only is this the best Van Halen podcast but it is the most informative. Their format is very long but it can be broken into 3 clear segments. News, letters, and main subject. I occasionally have a few disagreements about some of their opinions but they are very respectful to their listeners. One of these days I am going to write them a letter. Keep the flame alive guys.

    For the Love of Van Halen still but. . . .
    Just when you think you know everything about this band, you don't because Dave and Dave will educate you make no mistake. Well I feel it is time for a review update, the VH News segment is outstanding, The interviews with different authors is well done, the album and track reviews are quite detailed. Now it is quite noticeable the current trend Dave and Dave do now is to bash Valerie Bertonelli who was celebrity long before Van Halen, Wolfgang's mother, and still friends with Ed even after their divorce, every move this woman makes, she gets knocked down and disrespecting her is uncalled for, Sammy is enough of a target for constantly being thrown under the bus. The mail bag is mostly the same diehard fans picking apart ad nauseam everything Dave and Dave say. Sometimes the interviews become a long rant in which Loud Dave instructs the audience on his version of why Van Halen broke up in the first place and contnued to have break ups over the years. Sometimes the topics are not that interesting, other fan groups that talk VH on platforms such as YouTube cover more interesting topics, not just making up topics such as let's see who provided janitorol services during each VH tour.( I know that is coming, I want full credit) The podcast also has a Patreon membership so the listeners can support the podcast but it is set up incorrectly and seems to be completely ignored. Now Dave and Dave know more than most fans, and take it all apart and examine it putting back together again. They conduct thoughtful, researched, detailed interviews and are not afraid to criticize what we all love which is the mighty VH good, bad, and ugly. This podcast is perfect for the fandom who is lives in the Dave is the holy grail and Sammy is the blasphemer double standard endless loop, that Dave & Dave also subscribe to. For the rest of us this endless loop is exhausting so I have to keep the 4th and 5th star to myself, while I continue to listen of course. . . .

    Kings of VH knowledge
    Boy these guys are great, if you love old school Van Halen then this is your place, even though they probably touch on Sammy a little more than I’d like.

    A must for all VH fans
    Now upwards of 70 episodes, this podcast is the best out there for all Van Halen fans. Dave and Dave bring not only the humor, but go in-depth with every interview whether it’s with a former tour manager, or a VH tribute guitar player. With Ed finally gone, it’s really is a treat to have two people dedicated to keeping all news with Van Halen alive and in a super entertaining format. You will not be disappointed!!! =VH

    Great guys, true fans🎸👍🏻
    The Daves are true fans. It’s like hanging out with guys you grew up with.
  • Argyll Cahoon
    Fun
    I’m a Van Halen and have been for years but I haven’t much listened to them recently, with the passing of Eddie I pulled out my old VH vinyl and became curious to see who’s talking about them in the podcast communities. This was my first introduction, starting from their very first episode on the 5150 anniversary. I’ve been looking for a podcast like this and it’s obvious these two guys know what they’re talking about. Cant wait to listen to more and catch up to the current.

    Me Wise Magic..... Here
    Not sure what exactly the title means but I do know that Dave & Dave know their Halen history. This podcast is meant to be listened in sections but it goes by quickly. They compliment each other in what they are thinking and saying. It is all positive and in good nature. Plus their guests are all outstanding. Keep up the GREAT WORK guys ! ”I'll Wait” ....anxiously for each new podcast !

    EDDIE
    Yes Eddie he did show mike his parts ,man Mike not once in his life has written music why do you think that is guys ... how many real musicians do you know ? Everyone I meet that plays has written music and the ones that don’t are happy to play others songs and they play what the song writer told them to play ... Mike played what KING EDWARD told him to play & he was happy to , that’s why he doesn’t get angry in the press EVER cause he knows he’s the luckiest bassist that has ever lived , without the Gods also known as the VH Bro’s he would be back in South Side of the Windy City known once again as Mike Sablowski Btw also realize ED sang all the bk up vocals with mike live & studio & he never gets mentioned or credit for the amazing bk up vocals VH has

  • Carlo Pirazzo
    Awesome VH Podcast!
    This podcast is specially made for the diehard fans of the band, and that makes it The best Van Halen podcast! These guys are well informed and are very passionate about the band´s history. I love the Interviews segment, lots of cool info you are not going to find anywhere else. Thank you for covering David Lee Roth solo career too! Loved the Terry Kilgore interview. Keep up the good work

    Great podcast for ALL VH news.
    Easy to listen to, great guests and they always have their fingers on the pulse of the VH world. Keep it up guys!
  • Norm from SoCal
    A must for true fans!
    The podcast is really fun with a lot of ballbusting and good, knowledgeable discussion. It's a great way to keep up with a band that is very private. These guys are relentless and do thier homework, they find great guests who have history with the band for cool insight.
  • Ockfish
    I thought I knew most everything about Van Halen...
    until I found this podcast!! This is a MUST for any Van Halen fan. I feel it’s truly impossible for a TRUE Van Halen fan to pick their favorite vocalist. In my opinion when I hear someone say they only like Roth era VH then I don’t feel that person is a true fan. This is what I LOVE about Dave & Dave. They give props to Dave, Sammy AND Gary and are very in depth in their reviews and their investigative work. I simply cannot explain how much I am enjoying these podcasts. Just discovered them last week and am listening to #9 already. There is soooooo much to love about Van Halen and these guys give you even more reasons to love the greatest rock band of all time. But it’s not all sunshine and roses. These guys tell the truth and the dirt and everything in between in a Superfan kind of way and it’s simply the best podcast out there!!
  • Dadragonballz
    The mighty Van Halen..
    Dave and Dave do a great job on this Van Halen podcast. Production has gotten a lot better. They are likable hosts and carry a wealth of information. I’m not into the Sammy era but the stories around that time period are still interesting. For my money David Lee Roth is the greatest frontman ever and is the only voice for Van Halen. I also rate A different kind of truth as one of the best in the catalog. Keep up the great work. Shawn Franklin
  • DJLeD2012
    Dave and Dave Rock!
    These guys are true Van Halen fans. Love the podcast! In the latest episode they interview Nile Rodgers and Terry Kilgore about the DLR Your Filthy Little Mouth record. Great to hear Nile and Kilgore was hilarious and told some great stories. Keep it up guys!

    I’ve been a long long long time fan of this band, and Dave and Dave have done a great job doing the show, it help me reminisce and think about those good old days and how Van Halen music meant so much to me growing up. Thanks guys keep doing a great job. Love to hear more.

    The mighty VH
    Love the pod cast, really in-depth stuff for the hard cord Van Halen fan. Great guests. Could use a little better audio quality.

    D&D
    Excellent podcast for the diehards out there. They keep the band we grew up with alive, even when there is no official news. Just when I thought I knew everything about VH, these guys interview someone with a new tale or two from behind the scenes- Keep up the good work guys 👍🏻
  • ZUESCO
    One of my favorite podcasts
    I've been a fan of this band since 1984. I stumbled upon this podcast a few months ago and have since gone back to listen to the last year's worth. FAIR WARNING.. it's a little different format (once a month 2-3 hours long). I actually prefer this to the other weekly podcasts that last 30-45 minutes. Those with weekly formats oftentime feel rushed to get through topics. Dave and Dave don't have that restriction but, at the same time, they know when to move off a topic. You could say they achieve BALANCE. What is the most refreshing about their podcast is that they are not biased. They share and consider different viewpoints on the hotter topics of VH and always provide a A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUTH. Give' em a listen!
  • Travis From Texas
    Great podcast!
    If you’re a Van Halen fan, this is an awesome podcast. It’s great to hear fans that are very informed who can can dig deep in conversation about the band. I’m definitely impressed with the special guests they’ve had as well, and these guys ask all the questions fans want to know the answers to. I’m always looking forward to the next episode!

    OUTSTANDING!!!!
    The two Daves have created a fantastic show for Van Halen fans. They show equal respect to both the Roth and Hagar fronted versions of VH, and they even have the guts to praise the elements of VH3 that are praiseworthy. They have interviewed some very unique people who are tied to the band in some way, and all have stories that even diehard fans like myself had not yet heard. I HIGHLY recommend this podcast.
  • Wayne Blair
    The podcast that delivers The Mighty Van Halen
    Dave and Dave are the premier podcasters for all things Van Halen. They always give in depth views and information. I look forward to every episode. This is a must for true Van Halen fans.
  • Will Vallar
    A Different Kind of Podcast
    Dave & Dave Unchained is a fantastic podcast for Van Halen fans. Both Daves are very knowledgeable on the history of the band and the guests they have managed to get for the show are all phenomenal.

    Dave and Dave Unchained
    Best VH podcast by far. Goes into great detail along with the stories we love to hear.
  • Tequila Willie
    Mr
    I've listened to every one of the 25 podcasts a few times, but I'm a VH junkie. The subject matter brought me to the podcast, but the delivery, banter and clever attention to details really impressed me. The Dave's do an excellent job!
