Episode 6: Breathe a SighThis week, your Regarding…Slang crew — Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz — are joined by Darren Paltrowitz and Duane Hoffman as they take a long, sometimes painful look at Def Leppard’s third single from Slang: “Breathe a Sigh.”The song itself? Joe Elliott goes full falsetto crooner over a groove that sounds more R&B than Daryl Hall going to his "special place". Some of us hear a tender ballad, others hear the band wandering into karaoke night at the wrong pub. Just to make things messier, we spin the rough mix — and suddenly the track takes a turn for demo hell, raising questions about what the band (and producer Pete Woodroffe, whose résumé gets its own hilarious breakdown) thought they were chasing...clearly they were trying to tickle Kevin Brown's berries.This episode features:🎤 Chaz trying to defend Joe’s vocal tightrope walk while the rest of us squirm🍗 Duane’s live taste test of pumpkin-spice wings, because apparently Slang isn’t weird enough already📀 A blow-by-blow of the rough mix vs. album cut, and whether either version actually lands🧾 The Pete Woodroffe résumé conversation you didn’t know you needed (boy bands and girl groups pay attention!)🤔 The inevitable debate: hidden gem or bathroom break?Hidden throughout: off-mic laughs, tangents about mullets and Spotify bots, and a few moments where even we admit Def Leppard may have reached too far.Special Bonus: A detour into Boys Night Out — a digression that adds yet another layer of WTF to the Slang era.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.) Join the guys over a plate of Buffalo Chicken Wings as they give Def Leppard's 1996 album Slang an honest listen and try to figure out just what the hell "Slang" means anyways. Is it too late for love or can we work it out to find a way to get Slang the love and affection it deserves? Listen as we listen so you don't have to, and discover for yourself.

Episode 5: Work It OutThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz welcome back Van Halen expert David "Loud Dave" Criblez from the Dave and Dave Unclained podcast, as they tackle Def Leppard's second single from Slang: "Work It Out."It's straight into why this Vivian Campbell-penned track might be Def Leppard's most commercial underrated gem—or at least the one song that proves Joe Elliott doesn't need to hit the stratosphere to sound great.The song itself? Written entirely by Vivian Campbell, it sits perfectly in Joe's lower register and strips away the signature Mutt Lange production sheen for something that feels like you're watching the band rehearse. It's got industrial touches without going full Nine Inch Nails, a 40-second instrumental section that lets the music breathe, and lyrics about actually working through relationship problems instead of just rocking out or walking the effin dog or taking out the trash...This episode features:🎸 David's passionate breakdown of why this is Joe Elliott channeling his inner Iggy Pop🤔 The eternal Def Leppard dilemma: half experimental songs, half playing it safe, like Joe's mullet "business up front, party in the back"🗳️ The revelation that this was Chaz's only Def Leppard song to make his wedding playlist🎵 Bonus tracks: Vivian's original Dublin demo🎵 🎵 B-side "Move With Me Slowly"—a Stones-flavored jam that sounds like five guys who actually know how to play their instrumentsHidden throughout: Mullet references, Michael Anthony's "flag on the back of his head" hair, and the growing realization that when Def Leppard strips away the candy coating, they're capable of so much more than their hit formula suggests.Special Bonus: The episode includes "Move With Me Slowly," a track so effortlessly cool and Stones-influenced that it becomes everyone's new favorite Def Leppard song by episode's end. It's proof that sometimes the best music happens when a band just plugs in and jams. Pay attention, Kevin Brown.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

Episode 4: All I Want Is EverythingThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by Michael Pastore as they tackle one of Def Leppard’s saddest turns into balladry: “All I Want Is Everything.”Before the song even spins, the guys detour through RushFest Toronto stories, bot-spam in the DMs, and a full-on Chazgasm about why Joe Elliott should get more credit as a lyricist. From there, things go off the rails: Corey calls the track “U2-like” and “Tom Petty-esque,” which is basically the podcasting equivalent of pushing Kevin Brown off a cliff in a straight-jacket. Somewhere out there, Kevin’s ears are bleeding while Chaz argues this is a dirge, Wolfie swears it’s hopeful, and Michael Pastore just wants to call it a breakup song.The song itself? A stripped-back, unusually sad moment in the Slang experiment, or even the entire Def Leppard catalog, with Joe saying it’s about “birth, death, and divorce” while Rick Savage once claimed it was about a man dying of AIDS. Whatever the truth, there’s no sugar or sparkle—just regret, grief, and one of Leppard’s rawest ever recordings.This episode features:🎸 A fight over whether Joe Elliott’s lyrics are Dylan-esque genius or just “serviceable”, and why Paul Simon is a "punk"🥁 Why the stripped-down recording makes it sound almost live in the studio🤔 Debating why Peter Gabriel gets praised for world music experiments while Def Leppard gets their nuts roasted📻 A completely unnecessary but inevitable and enjoyable digression into Traveling Wilburys fan casting🗳️ No clear verdict—just confusion, conflict, and the creeping suspicion Kevin Brown may never speak to Corey againHidden gem? Funeral dirge? Def Leppard’s most un-Leppard moment? Whatever it is, the Tom Petty-esque comparisons will send Kevin Brown screaming off a cliff — and we’ll be listening for every second of the fall...The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

Episode 2: Turn to DustThis week, your Regarding...Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by podcaster, author, composer, and honorary CMPU sex symbol Scott Haskin, as they take on Slang’s second track proper: “Turn to Dust.”But before we get to the track, there’s a detour through podcasting lore and technical BS, Wolfie's famous Westport "blue parties", screenplays about Jaws, birthday tributes to Kevin Brown, and the legal limitations of sentence...rape(?) - we're against it - in rock lyrics. It’s Season 4. You knew what this was when you signed on...The song itself? Phil Collen-penned and India-inspired, “Turn to Dust” opens with sampled sitars and actual recorded rain, and was meant to signal a major creative pivot for the band. But did Joe Elliott’s unusually raw vocal delivery do the material justice? Did the lyrics carry the weight of the subject matter—or get lost in the fog of metaphors and Mutt Lang-less production? And what’s with the line that literally every lyric site claims says “Sentence rape me”? The panel tries to make sense of it, even as they struggle to stay focused, stay sober, or stay on topic.This episode features:✍️ A thorough discussion of lyric intent vs. vocal execution🎤 Rare demo vocals from Phil Collen himself—prompting existential questions like, “Is Phil aping Joe, or is this just how Phil sings everything?”🥁 A serious technical breakdown of Rick Allen’s drumming—electronic triggers, sample layers, and the true definition of “ghost notes”🎂 A savage musical birthday roast for Kevin Brown, who responded to Truth? with a review so scathing it deserved its own diss track🗳️ A split Burnout vs. Fade Away vote that forces the guys to ask: is a cool vibe enough to save a song from its own confused message?As the Regarding... team tries to uncover meaning in the madness, they find themselves wrestling not just with the track—but with the larger question of whether Slang was a noble reinvention or simply the sound of a band drifting into irrelevance. Is “Turn to Dust” a forgotten gem, a noble misfire, or a glorified B-side?Join us as we fight over vocals, defend lyrical nonsense, and realize just how hard it is to agree on anything this season. One thing’s clear: this album may be divisive, but it’s never dull. Especially with Corey around.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who’s just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

Welcome back to Season 4 of the Regarding…Series of podcasts, the fan-based critical evaluation podcast where we listen to albums that require real effort to get through. Albums where the artists need their fans to invest a little more than a casual listen to comprehend or even mildly appreciate what they were trying to achieve.This season, your hosts Chaz Charles, Greg “Wolfie” Wolfe, and Scott D. Monroe and joined by CMPU podcasting legend Corey Morrissette as cohost for the dive headfirst into Def Leppard’s most polarizing release: Slang.Episode 1: Truth?This season opener is equal parts nostalgic concert chatter, honest critique, and therapy session for fans who’ve followed Leppard through more "Eras" than Taylor Swift. The boys spend time getting Wolfie up to speed on the Leppard sound, and why this record was such a departure from what fans were expecting from the 5 lads from Sheffield in 1996. Has it aged well? Is it stuck in time? Is there anything redeeming here? It was a tough time for the guys, does the work hold up as a statement to artistic integrity or a swing and a miss that ushered in a new era and reality for the band.Join us as we roll into Season 4 with sitar loops, heatwaves in Saskatchewan, and the humble realization that after four seasons of this show… we’re still finding things to appreciate about these elusive works that would otherwise have turned to dust in our collections.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who’s just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)

Scotzo, Chaz, and Wolfie are joind by the Dave & Dave Unchained boys for a wild ride through the missed expectations and fan let down that was the hype, lead up to, and ultimate WTF it's over ending for the VHIII iteration of the band, as they were on the path to delivering a second record with Gary Cherone.

Dave’s interviews with Ed, Gary, and even Diamond Dave make for some healthy digressions, those of the type you’ve come to count on in a two hour plus Regarding episode… And we listen to the studio version of what has come to be known as the best song on Van Halen III Redux, Once, and work hard to convince Scotzo not to revisit his treatment of Once for the redux.

Join Scotzo, Wolfie and Chaz as they take Mark & Corey through the paces with the first divisive track off Van Halen III, the first single from the album, Without You. Most commonly known as the "most Van Halen" track on the album in that it was recorded by Eddie as a demo when they first hooked up with Gary, and we know for historical fact that all of the members of the band contributed to the final recorded work. Does it live up to the Can Halen legacy? Are there parts of this song that could be considered "all-time great" or "classic" Van Halen? Only your ears will tell.
