In this post 10/13 Birthday Bash episode, the Bo-Hosts summarize Sammy's epic 78th trip around the sun and then delve into the many musical gems contained on his epic 2000 album, the aptly titled "TEN 13". Released on October 24, 2000, it's hard to believe this album is a quarter of a century old! Has it aged well? Does it still pack some "serious juju"? Is it Sammy's best solo album?? Friend of the pod and rock historian Martin Popoff swears it is — so join the Bo-Hosts as they break down the riffs, the vibes, and the legacy of this milestone RedRocker release to determine where this classic Sammy-solo album sits in the Hagar Hall of Fame!

In this episode, the Bogus Bo-Host's sit down to talk rock of the REDDEST kind with Ben Cote, a longtime listener of the show and Senior Coordinator within the Guitar Department at the esteemed Berklee College of Music.

Aside from being a huge Sammy and Van Halen fan, Ben is a killer Kramer & Gibson endorsed rock guitarist, as well as a recording and performing artist who gained notoriety with his dedicated following on Instagram and TikTok. Influenced by artists such as Sammy Hagar, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Poison, and Guns N' Roses, Ben formed The Ben Cote Band, and is now consistently touring the USA sharing bills with artists such as Bret Michaels, Slaughter, Lynch Mob, and Great White.

The Ben Cote Band has released five original albums, with the latest being 2024's "Celluloid Babylon," which included collaborations with Cherie Currie of The Runaways and Pete Evick of The Bret Michaels Band.

Ben and the Bo-host's talk all things Sammy, Van Halen, and WARNING- they take a serious plunge down the rabbit hole of guitar gear! Enjoy!
