- Part 1 with Guitar legend, EVH friend, Frank Zappa son and Reward Music Founder Dweezil Zappa who sits down in Studio 2 at Sunset Sound where Van Halen tracked and mixed the first 5 albums. DZ discusses first jamming/meeting with EVH at age 12 at the Zappa compound with Donn Landee tracking. That encounter turned into a 40 year friendship. We discuss Fair Warning being his favorite album as well some unknown writing methods for that album. Dweezil also discusses Frank Zappa's Hot Rats album (which was tracked in 69' at Sunset Sound), his fathers music and what he was like at home. Lastly DZ educates us on his groundbreaking new platform Reward Music which is the wave of the future for Artists to interact with their fans.

I’m so glad Sunset Sound is doing this. The history of this place is phenomenal. Let’s keep it alive. Let’s keep Eddie with us. I hope all the buried VH material gets out. Let’s not forget him. I miss Eddie so much.
💜💜💜💜💜
Van Halen was a state of mind.
They always said that. It turned out to be true. They put the fun back in Rock and Roll. They came at a time when the hard rock landscape was looking rather bleak. They came off that infamous Black Sabbath tour after embarrassing them 25 shows in 28 days. Sabbath fired Ozzy after that tour. Then they hooked up with Ronnie James Dio and look at all the great material that resulted. Ozzy started his solo career. The record companies did the usual. “Where did these Van Halen guys come from?” and all sights were brought to bare on the Sunset Strip. Look at everything that happened as a result. Motley Crue,Ratt,Dokken,Poison...etc.
Where did Ozzy find Randy Rhodes? He poached him from Quiet Riot. The whole Heavy Metal experience took off at the same time! And the whole thing happened because Van Halen kicked down the fuckin door.
So I will miss the man. He’s someone’s father,someone’s brother,someone’s husband. I will miss the musician. Obviously he an innovator and a unique performer. But I think what I’ll miss the most is Van Halen as an entity. They were the biggest and best of what Rock and Roll is about. Rest in Peace,Edward. Thank You for the whole thing. ALL OF IT!
I love your comment. Spot on.
@@NyeGuy-yv2dv They did exactly what Dave said they were going to do...They saved the world.
I can’t imagine what the rock world would look like had they not arrived.
I was 19 when Van Halen's first album came out, and even though I didn't see them on their first tour with Black Sabbath, but I read about it back then. Van Halen, as you said, kicked the door down for the newer hard rock and metal groups and artists.
Good historical perspective. I grew up on Van Halen and all the following bands in my teens and I think Eddie definitely ignited the "guitar hero" flame and inspired some other great guitar players to keep up, so to speak. And yes, the state of mind was "balls-out party time" and it was a case of right time - right band as far as this 55 yr old is concerned! rip EVH.
That's why Eddie Van Halen is the GREATEST innovator!! His monumental tone/sound/swing, his inspiration, his enormous creativity, his unvelievable techniques!!
Hell yes!!!
1:19:40 Creative maturity... maybe? I always heard there was a lot of tension by the time they recorded the album and I can only imagine the genius of Ed was spilling all over the place ....I mean, Jeeeeezussss! The first 3 tracks on the album are the best opening 3 tunes I think I've ever heard when putting an album on the turntable. My whole world stood still. Aggression, art, beauty, subtle melodic textures, street filth, loaded with character, rock'n'roll grandeur, absolute musical genius. It was Fair Warning to all other bands of the moment....and hearing "Push Comes To Shove" ....game over. Everything begins and ends with Edward Van Halen. #Legend
amen
You got to love Dweezil. He's a monster player who's continued his dad's musical journey. He seems like he got Franks smarts without his more acerbic side too.
I think Dweezil's influences are more eclectic than just Frank and EVH.
I like how he's such a deep musical force himself big he's still just a big EVH fanboy like the rest of us.
It really is a part of history . Not just music history but world history. We’ve been lucky to witness a inventor, a genius , a Tesla of sorts in our lifetime . Rest In Power king Edward !
I met Dweezil at the Las Vegas House of Blues. He was very cool. Very polite and signed my ticket stub.
"They started hearing with their eyes" -Dweezil Zappa Dude hit the nail on the head right there @4:38
genius
Learned all Eric Clapton’s Cream licks was just to get some fingers, but when Eddie listened Holdsworth and try to introduced the jazzy fusiony rhythm and licks into rock, that was so fresh. The more you listen to Holdsworth, the more you will understand Eddie
Don't forget Bill Nelson from Bebop Deluxe. Beautiful Girls was very influenced by Nelson. Not only that EVH's style of soloing in the early days had a marked Bill Nelson influence.
I think the same thing made srv great. He stuck to his true love of traditional blues but he added a jazz and swing event too. He covered chitlins con carne and did Riviera paradise and that variety blew my mind. Ed was the same way with songs like girl gone bad and house of pain.
Yep, Push Comes To Shove is one of my favorite EVH solos and it's sort of got that fusion vibe.
Yes, the fluidity of Ed's runs on Cradle Will Rock on WACF & later the stuff on Fair Warning was very much influenced by the stuff Ed was listening to Allan do in the late 1970s....Like Allan Holdsworths solos on Bruford's One of a Kind album (1979) (on Hells Bells and 5G) at also on Allans solos off the UK album(1978) (like In the Dead of Night, Thirty Years etc) ....ED would say in interviews - 'I can't even understand what Allan is doing myself...I get his legato fluidity using 2 hands on the neck whereas Allan will get that legato with just ONE hand.'. ....ED clearly saw Allan as a unique rule breaking original like he was but creating his OWN sound with it. I remember in one 1982 interview ED said the following - 'One guitarist who really makes my head spin is ALLAN HOLDSWORTH. He does things which are so beyond conventional guitar playing that I don't think a lot of players understand what he's doing. He's just one step beyond.'.....ED went on to help Allan get a record deal with Warner Bros with Ted Templeman producing the brilliant Road Games album. ED was a GOOD person as well as a great player...Listen on CZcams to this 1982 phone conversation he had with Jas Obrecht where he enthuses about Allan's playing & his overlooked plight by the music industry and he gave all the reasons why ED wanted to do everything he could to help Allan out as best he could....ED was a genius player but also a BEAUTIFUL soul.
I love how when he says "there's a lick in the solo of One Foot Out The Door that I have no idea what is happening" and I know EXACTLY the moment he's talking about.
Is it the part that almost sounds like he's using a delay/echo?
Except I think he's not.
Van Halen is so under documented, these videos are a wonderful start to righting that lack of VH history.
Thank you, looking forward to more.
Cheers.
Ed Upstairs watching Right Now
never really knew how many people truly loved him
Dweezil is cool guy!! He’s also a very good guitar player. As a matter of fact, he does one of the closest (to the original) renditions of Eruption. Plus he’s very knowledgeable on all things EVH.
EVH produced Dweezil’s very first song when he was 11 or 12
I've seen ZPZ twice and he plays things on guitar that very few people are capable of.
I just love how dweezil and others
continue to pay tribute to the G.O.A.T.
EVH✌💔🙏🤘
Thanks Sunset Sound! Your studio is the place where some of my favorite musical memories were made!
✌♥️🙏🤘
The GOAT was Dweezil's dad.
Would be super cool to get Alex on for an interview and hear him play drums in the studio. Gotta love Dweezil!
Yassss!
Many thanks to Sunset Sound for another great session with a wonderful guest in Dweezil Zappa. I’m already looking forward to the next one. Besides being a tremendous player in his own right, DZ is articulate, insightful and intelligent. Like father, like son. In this case thankfully, the fruit does not fall far from the tree. 👍
part 2 of this interview is up tmrw morning. thanks for the love!
Dweezil nails it at 56:38. After 9 years Mean Street got me playing guitar again. Months later I'm finding and working through new mistakes , every day. I'll never be done learning it but that's the beauty of Ed's phrasing.
The fact a human being created that intro boggles my mind, always will. His unnatural ability astonishing as astrophysics
Absolutely loved every insightful,detailed moment of the historical journey that this video took me through. Dweezil's love for Eddie warms my heart. I smiled and wept throughout this.
Thank you!! Part 2 is up now.
I've been lucky enough to see VH (Fair Warning tour), Frank and Dweezil all play live. It's great for all fans to see such an amazing musician like Dweezil discuss music and the music industry in a such a no B.S., straight forward, ego-free way. Wherever he is, Frank is smiling with pride. Thanks and keep up the great content!
Amaze!!!! ❤️
Saw them on the Diver Down tour. WISH I saw Fair Warning !!!
DWEEZIL says it so well here about ED....The surprise element in his playing, the shock power of originality Ed had.The level of creativity Ed had that meant that his approach to the instrument made what he was doing inaccessible to other players because his rule breaking approach to playing was submerging the techniques by which he was creating the sounds. So much more than just 'tapping' or machine gun competitive stuff ..Those people just don't get it like Dweezil does.......As he said - 'Can you do what HE did' ?...Totally agree that the Meanstreet intro was possibly the ultimate exemplar of that. I don't think ANYONE has picked up an unmodified guitar before or since & with just hands on strings made the instrument sound so uniquely different from what we had already heard....Nobody has created something that unique before or since for me....Not even Vai (with his incredible ability to transcribe & notate other players ideas to a mind boggling degree) & not even modern brilliant players like Ron Thal or Mattias Eklundh (both who Dweezil has recorded & played with) who have astonishing levels of virtuosity & creativity. Still can't believe Ed has gone. God love that man...As I'm typing this in the UK whats just come thru the letterbox ? ..New Amazon book I'd ordered 'Eruption - Conversations with Eddie Van Halen' with Brad & this other chap.....Looking forward to reading this.
It would be interesting to ask Alex VH about all the transitional periods of Van Halen, . . . He was Ed's Righthand man, he was there through every note, every minute, every decision, every song writing session, every recording, every gig. . . Til the last minute
Yeah he was also a chronic alcoholic for ten years so his memory probably isn’t good.
@@thefonzkiss all the flavors in the world and you gotta be salty
@@thefonzkiss actually he got sober before OU812, Sammy confirmed this in his book.
The Fonz I grew up with was Cool! 😎
He's been quiet about all this stuff, in typical VH fashion.
MTV Launched in August of 81. I was 5 and I remember seeing Mark Goodman, I think it was him, come on and it was mesmerizing to me. I held on to MTV until the M left.
I remember when MTV started in '81. Later, when I was in Germany from 1983-86 (I was in the Army from 1978-90), my younger sister would send me a VHS tape once a month or so with all of the latest video hits on it and would pass the tapes on to other soldiers in my unit after I was through watching it. Good times!
You are correct. It was Mark Goodman, J.J. Jackson, Martha Quinn & Nina Blackwood. Those were the first 4 original hosts for Mtv.
I remember well because I was already 16 and a sophomore in HS when MTV launched.
There weren't any VH videos at that time in 81. But in 1983 they started showing VH playing "So this is Love" (live mix) from the US Festival in California.
This is how I remember it anyhow.
Peace.
Shit I was 23 back then and didn't remember it being in '81.
I love how Dweezil, despite being the son of Frank Zappa and growing up in Hollywood, is every bit the gobsmacked fan that I was, a transfixed guitar kid from Minnesota.
I'm 51
I feel very lucky to have grown up with EVH'S music
R.I.P King Edward
Ed said he got it from the guy upstairs, watch the video of him with Jason Becker. I really don't think he even knew why he was so unique.
Well, talent and hard work will do it...
@@theboofin hard work and odd influences? While everyone else was doing Clapton, Jimi, and zepplin Eddie took Clapton, mixed in some Debussy, and Allan holdsworth. He added that to a great base of music theory and learned the "standards" to stay relevant.
Interview Mike - he lived it.
We're all waiting for Donn Landee now !
Him and Ted!!!
Yess!!
@@mikes51501 Yes both together in 8 three hour clips ;)
The Van Halen stories gave me chills and made me smile, FANTASTIC!
This Is So Organic and Real and Entertaining!!! I love these talks, No intro or wasting time or BS scam, these guys just sit down and share EPIC stories and I feel like I'm sitting right there.
“When I die, sprinkle my ashes over the 80s” - DLR
A-f&ckin'-MEN!
David Lee Roth area was the only Van Halen I liked.
DLR the most unlikable person ever in VH
I've always wondered if DLR is as big a douche away from the spotlight as he is when he's in front of it?
@@commentfreely5443 I dunno, Eddie was pretty shitty to Michael Anthony. I thought that seemed pretty unlikeable.
Dweezil...
... wow. Very likable guy. Going to have to dig deeper into his work.
PS. Thanks for NOT wearing a STUPID mask.
Great vid!!! Thanks so much!!! 😁👍🎸🎸
yes fair warning out takes would be amazing a full albums worth, Wolfgang please make it happen.
Dweezil is so awesome, I love all of the little insights that he is able to give. He still sounds like that excited 12 year old kid when telling them, and I feel like one listening.
I'd love to see Rival Sons perform at Sunset Sound. I'd pay to see that.
It's crazy that for the past 15 years I have been living 5 or 6 blocks from Sunset sound, and living within a few miles of Eddie Van Halen, one of my heroes. I really regret never getting, no I mean, making the opportunity to meet Eddie. I took Eddie for granted. I thought he would be around forever. I was wrong. RIP EVH!
This was great! Dweezil is such a nice, down to earth guy. And his enthusiasm for all things Van Halen - I feel it too!
I am a HUGE Van Halen fan so these recent posts/interviews have been great. I also love history so it has been so fun hearing the stories, getting the deep facts (some never heard before) and learning more about music I love. This was a great episode and enjoyed listening to Dweezil. He had an interesting perspective in life. You have a Dad that is Frank Zappa, you have people like Steve Vai hanging around and you get one on ones with Eddie Van Halen. What a influential position he was in. Envious. There was some great stories here and need to listen to the part 2. I did look into that mention Dweezil made on the Greensboro 81 show. Meanstreets started like the album with no intro, but what a cool version. The outro section was wild. Then I got to the Meanstreet intro in the Guitar solo and heard what Dweezil was talking about. I have got alot of boots of VH and like him never heard a version like it. These are the kind of gems to look forward to. I appreciated the man while he was alive and my study of his creativity continues to the day I die. Thanks Sunset Sound...that place is truly a Mecca for Rock n Roll...next time I am in LA I need to drive by to pay my respects...truly a special place and rock n roll history
btw here is a link to the show
czcams.com/video/_g2c9MZtpIw/video.html. Meanstreet is around the 1:05:30 mark with the solo to follow right after
Had the exact same experience as Dweezil when he reminisced about Fair Warning as a 12 year old. Set the standard for me.
Yep, me too. That album changed my life! 1981 @ 12-years old, and IMO those early albums still hold up to this day, but that album speaks to me.
Same here. I remember feeling like I "had to have a favorite band". My freshman year in high school was coming to an end, and I remember there was kind of an "AC/DC...OR...Van Halen" type debate going on. AC/DC had just put out Back in Black and of course that was the follow up to Highway to Hell. Van Halen had I, II and Women and Children First...so it was a bit of a quandary. But when Fair Warning came out, my decision was made and it was final - I had my favorite band, and they still are to this day.
This channel is a GOLDMINE. It’ll have a million subs in no time. So many great vids and history.
Hey Dweezil.. look up the early Warner demos, it has a goofy outtake (a prank song) called ‘Gonna take a lot of drugs’ from the VH boys .. seems like the goal was to play a prank on Ted Templeman.. it was likely done with only Donn Landee present at that particular session
‘Gonna take a lotta Drugs’ is basically Nicolette Larson’s hit track with her voice omitted so that the boys could pull off a “Weird Al” version of her hit song ... so.. it would seem plausible that the session was in 1977
I love Running with The Dweezil and I can say I listen to Van Halen everyday and love his passion for Eddie as well.
This collaboration is amazing and not to have known about it for 30 years is incredible... I can't believe I stumbled upon this thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!! Priceless stuff!!
Dweezil's dad, Frank, is the person who made me want to play. Frank was his own man and sang about what he wanted to. To my ears - one of the most expressive guitarists. And the variety of influences in one human was astounding. Those was the hooks for me. I never made any serious money, but I got to work with and around people I respected in bands and as a night club employee for three different NY venues. I got to do some memorable gigs. Dweezil's right. Musicians did their thing because they HAD to. Back then, everyone was experimenting. I got to see great odd acts that went nowhere all the time. Early to mid 1980s was a great time in music on the coasts. The point about doing whatever was necessary isn't lost on me.
MTV aired in 1981...but really took off and exploded with the help of MJs Thriller! .
It took a while before a lot of people had cable at all and not every cable provider carried MTV. I was lucky as a 9 year old to catch the premiere. Dont remeber who the first video was but I remeber Pat Benatar was the second.
Dweezil said - and it's true - that The Buggies "Video Killed The Radio Star" was the very first video that aired on MTV.
Edward learned How to swing.He also had humor.
Thank You Sunset Sound!! I love These!!!
MTV was launched 08/01/1981 according to Winkepedia. I was 10 and was obsessed with it lol
Hell yeah!
Video Killed the Radio Star ♫
We watched it in our dorm rooms my freshman year. It was cool!
DWEEZIL is the best. Thanks from Sweden! ☃️
Dweezil-
Much respect for your Zappa plays Zappa band. Lots of work; rehearsal. And it shows. Gold star for your playing ⭐️
Ed had mucho humor in hisPlaying.That why people just love him.
amen to that
EXACTLY!!😎
He was always in his element. Dam I will miss all his new stuff. New songs , new gear. Etc. I started listening to VH in 1980. I was 9 . I had the 8 track of WACF. I’m a guitar player. But Alex’s drum kit is what caught my attention . Then I said “ dam who is this bad ass guitarists?”
Dweezil nails it as usual...Great videos Sunset we all love these videos!
We love you Eddie! And Dweezil is just the coolest.
Much LOVE Dweezil! Thanks for keeping it going from the "Z" family. R.I.P. to your Dad, loved him also, thanks for chatting with me back in the days when we ALL could hang out w/o a mask and be ourselves...and R.I.P. to EVH of course... Happy 2021!
The live stream studio at Sun Set is a great great idea, would have been great 6 months ago but it is still FANTASTIC!
Absolutely killer interview !
Dave would hate this interview, because none of it is about him.
He got his credits for being poppy frontman persona and his unusual lyrics
Van Halen's Pretty Woman was the first video banned on MTV! March 1982.
Just got through part 1. I was privileged enough being 56 to see Van Halen EVERY TIME they played in Milwaukee WI. 1st time was them opening for Black Sabbath. I "believe" my facts are correct. Silly story but an old man security guard wouldn't let Ed down the ramp at the arena/auditorium because he had no pass! I convinced the old dude saying "you don't know who EVERYONE is here to see?!?" Also, met the MASTER Frank on the Joe's Garage tour. He signed 22 lp for me! So cool as was Steve, Ike etc. Been a drummer since I was 10 & got turned on to Frank's Live in New York album and have been a devoted fan ever since! Looking forward to # 2. Great informative interview! RIP Eddie & Frank. 👍🥁✌️
Epic
Yes!
EVH was my guitar hero as a kid. Then I heard FZ and he became the overlord. Legends.
then you also need to check out John McLaughlin ; Alan Holdsworth and Jeff Beck . All of whom are highly respected by other great guitarists as some of the best influential of all time .
@@markpetersen5055 definitely an Alan Holdsworth fan. Haven't listened to much Jeff Beck but he's been recommended a lot so looks like im gonna have to. Idk McLaughlin at all tho.
John Mc. has done solo and also formed Mahavishnu Orchestra .
This is so insightful!🎸🎸🎸🎸
Fair warning my favorite as well love it!
I love FZ and VH. My favorite VH song is mean streets. So kool that Dweezl loves that song too.
I think dweezil is a great guitar player. Highly underrated.
This whole thing is gold, of course, but if there was a "worth the price of admission" moment, it would have to be the story @ 39:15 where Eddie, Steve Vai, a 12 yr old Dweezil and his dad are sitting in a circle talking music and passing a guitar around. Dweezil saying he decided to play guitar for the rest of his life and said "Why would you not?" Eddie was the reason I started playing guitar so I couldn't agree more! rip EVH.
Eddie always had that something extra that made him a standout from everybody else on the planet . There have always been amazing talented guitarists but none have been anything like Eddie . He was just super special and different and his major impact on Dweezil despite having Steve Vai around really proves just how ridiculously amazing Van Halen was compared to everybody else.
This deserves a major HELLZ YEAH!
HELLZ YEAH
Hello yeah!
Saw Dweezil's Zappa does Zappa concert. Great band, good times. And I had a great dog I named Evelyn, about 25-30 years ago. Gotta get that t-shirt from his site!
Amazing as always SS. Cant Wait For part 2 tmrw and hear about Dweezil's " What The Hell Was I Thinking"
Nice seeing this site today. Cool cool !!!
I'm a member now for sure
Much love and light,
H.L.

🙏🙏🙏
@@sunsetsoundrecorders Happy Spring
🍀
I had that same experience with Mean Streets. That freakin G chord. It IS the best ever. Thanks Dweezil for pointing that out. I thought I was weird for thinking of it that way.
Dweezel is so cool to share !
Been a fan of DZ since his first record. Really enjoy seeing him on the ZPZ tours. The guys a phenomenal guitar player.
This is not exploitation, this is sheer love and respect for the greatest rock guitar player who will ever be. Thank you for doing this.
Man, the Ted Templeman feature is gonna be epic. I hope they're trying to get Donn Landee in there, too.
Be a little hard to get Don there
@@freddenman5503 Why’s that?
Ted's book is great, but to hear Don would be amazing.
Donn Landee is said to be reclusive or introverted . Eddie ALWAYS gave the most credit to the Van Halen sound to Donn often behind every one else's back . Ed said in interviews he and Donn would remix the tapes when everyone else was gone at night to Ed's approval .
Great start of 2021. Very rich interview. Good interviewer too, he gives a lot of space to Dweezil. Awesome stories, such a positive vibe.
"Eddie van Halen reinvented the electric guitar" - Frank Zappa.
Don’t miss pt 2 czcams.com/video/vLTK8DZwEwU/video.html
This reminds me of just how important Rick Beatos musician interviews are , getting the history and the facts from the source, the musicians themselves
Dweezil!!! always a bearer of positive positive +++ Thank you for light !!!
Sunset Studio should be acknowledged and classified as a historical building .
Thanks, Sunset Sound. This stuff you're doing is great. So much fun to hear.
Looks like Dweezil has not only been carrying his father legacy (because he is that talented), unlike Wolfie who doesn't want to carry the legacy and that is understandable, no one, not even Wolfie is his father, and we are OK with that.
I love "Confessions" btw Dweezil , Great album that helps me forget 2020!
Dweezil & Wolfgang would be a phenomenal conversation
Best interview I've ever seen. Thank you for this.
The " mighty G chord" .. Top Fuel dragster wired to a guitar....still UN touched !!!
Very cool insider prospective, love this early VH talk. Thanks!
Thanks for this great video! Would love to see an interview with Dweezil and Don.
Wow..amazing stories..never knew you & frank Steve vai&eddie had such close ties??..Steve introducing ed to frank..ed coming to your school giving you a guitar and teaching you how to play it..wow!
Thanks for doing this!
❤️
Yes sir Eddie and Alex are such great guys , just ask Michael Anthony .
Yeah , Mike ain't a lying crybaby and makes up BS stories and lies . Remember , even Mike said Sam quit . And Sam told a reporter he didn't want to and wouldn't do a greatest hits album like Warner Bros DEMANDED .
August 1, 1981 for MTV's launch. I remember that day. Cable Was $19. The channel changer box was on a 10 foot cable. Ahh the good old days. Staying up all night for world premiere videos....
FINALLY thank you dweezil! Someone else that has wondered a good bit about what happened to ED from 1976-77?
His playing skyrocketed far beyond what he was doing in the clubs?(i have heard all the club recordings) In 77 when VH I came out he had a finished,very polished and UNIQUE as all hell style of playing! as well as his gear and tone! What bright this on is such a short span of time?
Did ED take the Robert johnson method at the crossroads?🤪😂
I just think that Eddie's unique playing style just gelled at once during that time and he continued to learn from and experiment with different sounds and techniques as time went on. Remember the electric drill he used on Poundcake? Innovative!
His technique makes me think Piano influence. Improvising in the moment is what us musicians live for especially with other creatives. I know, you know!
I think the reason why we all love Fair Warning so much is that none of the songs (accept Mean Street) were on the original demos, which means these songs were written at a different stage of Van Halen's musical maturation.
Wow .. wow.. no words !
Emotional!
Frank Eddie Steve Dweezil
OMG .. so honest and humble
I already was a fan ! But now it’s religious !
🌷🌷🌷
@ 33:10 I concur!
@ 1:18:19 The lick in "One foot out the door" I think Dweezil is talking about is @ about 1;27 then again on the fade out at 1;49 of the song...
One foot out the door - czcams.com/video/euXtj2a8oiM/video.html
I think i just may be as big a fan as Dweezil
Long live the king!
LOVE the Stories! Thanks Much!
There is NO ONE who understands and can articulate EVH like Dweezil. If a tribute to Ed/VH happens. He (imo) is the ONLY one to do it with 100% justice...
PLEEEASE get the incredibly talented Donn Landee on the show..
It would be great if you could get Michael Anthony on the show. He's the only person from the origonal four that would do it.
Please don’t misunderstand your viewership, we LOVE your video’s of VAN HALEN & Sunset Sound!!! We just found the (Fan Halen) episode distasteful, like having a Michael Jackson impersonator at his own funeral!!!
Keep up the good work!!!!
That Guy Was Awful!!!!!!! They were supposed to have Rage Against The Machine on and replaced them with him? BOZO
