With the Edward Van Halen cassette-like moments in life...good-grief, they're (for many of us) the very best parts of 80's media...Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Better Off Dead, Back To The Future...and you had an EVH homemade cassette personally handed to you (in STORAGE). So awesome. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT!!!!
(Side-note: Just the Warner Brothers-issued standard VH cassettes were a big part of my life. I used to, as a twelve year old in 1982, deliver afternoon newspapers with my Walkman on (& braces :-)). The machine wore batteries down quick. I had the 'Take Your Whiskey Home' tape-slowdown-ending effect going-on nearly every two songs, thanks to Sony!! Fun memories of simpler times...).
I think you're doing a great thing for us with a great (very much due) amount of reverence for the band. Can't wait for Nuno, Part 2. (I imagine you'll be talking about 'Mutha'. That song IS a proper nod...).
Part 1 with Nuno is yet another amazing podcast. I was crying happy tears listening throughout. As a fan and musical novice. The detailed analysis you guys make... help me understand more clearly how and why Van Halens music and Edward playing has captivated me. Thx Dweezil and Nuno. Cant wait for part 2.
DZ. I just finished the Nuno episode. Just tremendous. I loved how you talked about the “swing” and outside influences. Between that and the archives of alternate takes or live takes, it was magic.
I particularly like how you and Nuno break down the details on the riffs and the funky pocket. Do you know how Edward felt about this body of work (FW & W&CF) as time passed?
Thanks, Robert! When I talked with Edward about his music it was clear to me that it was just a joy for him to play guitar. He did say that he really liked the Fair Warning album.

The cassette tape..."Edward Van Halen, searching for something new"...fucking incredible. Thank you for this gem!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

the episode with Paul Gilbert is fantastic, great to hear you both discuss it while Paul is playing it on his guitar. He is a freak !!
