I think to this day, Fair Warning is the only album that I took the needle (yes the needle) off 15 seconds into it to start again as I could not believe what I was hearing. That intro is other worldly.
Hi Dweezil , this series is truly excellent - you've put such thought and attention to detail into creating it I'm certain EVH would be very proud. I've listened only to the Blues episode in full - and your'e spot on I've had/ heard a version of WACF without the song Growth ! . Also re Dave being a great acoustic playing -didn't play and sing a tune called 79th and Sunset ? . Well done Dweezil - as I listen I'm taken back to high school with my friends and I discussing VH I and how they blew Sabbath away when they supported here on the U.K. tour in '78 .
During your Sunset Sound interviews you guys were speculating what songs Ed wrote on piano for “Fair Warning”. Obviously “One Foot Out The Door” was one, but Ed mentioned in an interview that the other one was “Hear About It Later”. I have also read Edward mention that the genesis of the intro to “Mean Streets” was as a slap bass part. Just amazing where he took it. Excellent shows thus far Dweezil. I am stoked to hear Nuno’s second episode. Very happy to hear you two together again (as I loved “Confessions”. Keep up the awesome!
It wasn’t until a few months ago that I realized just how much the “Hear About It Later” solo birthed the solo section of “Gotta Get To You.” As a kid in 1990 I only had a passing familiarity with Fair Warning. I was all about learning the 5150 and Carnal Knowledge stuff.
So great to hear you and Nuno together again. I hope y’all played some pentacostal scales. “No, dude, DON’T SAY THAT!!”

Nuno is such an awesome nice guy. I met him once and he told me a story of his first meeting with Frank. Amazing. Great stuff.
