Dweezil Zappa

Hey Dweezil, thought you might enjoy this. A few days before I listened to episodes 4 and 5 with Blues Saraceno, an interview of Eddie with Steve Rosen from 1980 popped up on Youtube . About 10 minutes in, Steve asked him if he used the Strat on Women and Children. Eddie said, yes, but "I played the 335 on the solo to 'Cradle.'" He also said, he intentionally didn't go crazy with the whammy bar on the record. Love the podcast! Thanks.

Any chance talking to Sammy, Dave, Mike and Wolfy?  It would be pretty sweet hearing from them.

What a fantastic podcast!  So many of my favorite players sharing their love and respect for EVH.  Thank you!!

It's eerie how similar 'experiencing"  Van Halen was for all of us.  1984 was my first concert and it literally changed my life.

Listening to Blues describe his experience at that same concert at the same age (he's two months older than me) was exactly what I felt.  

It really takes me back to that magical time.  Glad have skipped the paper bag experience though!  So funny =)

One thing that hit me when going back to Fair Warning is that starting around 25 years later tons of French electro artists like Daft Punk, Justice, DJ Mehdi, Mr Oizo, Alex Gopher,  Yuksek, etc were able to run with EVH’s sonic synth & guitar concepts for decades, just using updated synths and squelchy filters.  That’s millions more parties where Eddie was still moving the crowd, whether he was aware of it or not.

I'm all caught up and am just loving the series! It makes me dig back into the albums and even though I've listened to them a million times, I'm still discovering little gems. How did I not hear the rain on  "Could This Be Magic?!" Duh! One thing that occurred to me-are you going to discuss the 2 songs that DLR sang on for the Warners Best Of-Vol 1, namely "Can't Get This Stuff No More" and "Me Wise Magic?" I think both are cool tracks, have interesting Ed moments and sound a bit different to what came later on ADKOT. Thanks for putting in the time Dweezil.
