Fast forward five decades, and their ALLIANCE is still going strong. When Sammy joined Van Halen in '85, Gary jumped over to the legendary BOSTON, where he's held it down on guitar for 40 years. And when Sammy launched his post-VH solo career, guess who was his first Wabo? His "Bro," of course. Out of that tight-knit musical (ahem) circle, "Bro" and Gary helped form ALLIANCE in the '90s with singer/bassist Robert Berry and keyboardist Allan Fitzgerald. In this episode, they join the Bo-Hosts to chat about their killer new album on Frontiers Music, Before Our Eyes. They also reminisce about recording VOA (and whether live footage exists!), the possible whereabouts of their "55" jumpsuits, dig into their recording process, speculate on a VOA band reunion in Cabo, and face off in a round of RedRocker Rapid Fire. This episode took some serious calendar-juggling to make happen--so crank it up LOUD and enjoy. See less
