Hey dweezil going to start off by saying you got to be one of the coolest guys ever. And I just stumbled upon this today I was just surfing through the web. And want to say thank you very much for putting this out and sharing it with us. I'm 49 years old I live in the Bay area and I'm just another guy you still can't believe that eddie's gone. I'm a left-handed guitar player who really sucks, though I try to play everyday in between being a chimney sweep during the day. Actually I play a neon slime green Jackson just like the one you play. I just wanted to tell you that you're one of my influences along with Eddie, Jerry Garcia, buckethead, Trey from phish and last but certainly not least frank zappa . I got turned on to your pops like 10yrs ago and fuck n holy hell when I picked up ( shut up and play your guitar ) shit change in my mind . There are no wrong notes lol. My buddy Dave has a 24/7 Zappa radio that he broadcasts at burning man every year . Just wanted give a shout out to your dad man , ZAPPA RULES.. But you are the man and like I said you seem so fn cool , you like one of us . Your real , honest and talk from the heart. I just subscribe to your podcast .The early years for which I am listening to right now. . I can't wait to listen to the rest of this you have made my day. THANK YOU
Dweezil, when I first read that you were doing this I had to buy it. I knew that you were one of “us”. You understood. You knew. No one’s sound and playing has touched me like Eddie’s. He spoke to me and their music spoke to me like no other music has. When you first hear it, you just know, and you know. He is the GOAT. No one will ever have the complete package of talent, tone, feel, musicianship, and shear virtuosity like he did. I wish I would have been able to know him like you did. Thank you so much for bringing this podcast to us and for your passion and love of the music I love. You are a brilliant player that really comes the closest that I’ve ever heard to capturing his sound and playing.
When I was younger I remember saying that same thing about those one foot solos and friends going “huh?” I would just say, never mind I know they rip. Go listen to that other crap it’s fine.
I have a hard time listening to the whole episode, because every 5 minutes I have to go play one of the albums or a song you are talking about. You get me fired up to hear the songs so it takes a long time for the episodes lol...
Oh man, fair warning part 2 may be the best episode yet. My favourite VH album of course and exactly like Nuno said, seperates the fair weather fans from the rest.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. As you know from listening to it, there was a lot of extra post production to really bring it to life. I wanted to do that for a number of reasons but mainly because Fair Warning is my all time favorite VH album and it was so inspirational so I wanted to reflect that in some way for the listeners. I wish I could do stuff like that for every episode but but there aren't enough hours in the day and I've already fallen behind schedule. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode though! Now you know about the Godzilla connection!

Hi Jason,
I'm sorry we got you so fired up and made you love Van Halen even more. We shouldn't have done that. LOL
