They were shitting on the album, bit stupid to have them on to talk about an album they obviously don't like and then upload it as part of a series for VH fans....
Wolfgang Van Halen just posted a photo of himself with Dave Grohl and Josh Freese to social media. So I did a google search on Josh to see what he has been up to and this old article from 1991 came up regarding Dweezil on the “Confessions” tour. Thought you guys would dig. Didn’t know where to post this but here it is…very tangentially related to VH just by virtue of how I got to it https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-04-05-ca-1828-story.html
The newer Tortex picks are cool. They help when it comes to pinch harmonics. But, when it comes to playing rhythm parts, you have to REALLY hit the strings harder to get those dynamics. I have been using Steve Vai's picks lately and those have a great balance to them.
To the best of my knowledge, the Fender pick material hasn’t changed. There was a brief period around 1955 when real tortoise shell was used to make the brown tortoise colored picks, but I believe it’s just the same old celluloid material and as far as I know the thickness has remained to within negligible tolerances.
I've listened to the Blues Saraceno & James Santiago episode.
It's one thing to criticize an album.
It's another one to do it "in style"...
I don't think EVH deserved that kind of treatment.
Oh my God, They Killed Kenny!

This was tossed out simply to check a box. I am not a big fan of the album, but it was a bit much.

I saw Z play at the old London Marquee club, in 1991. Awesome gig!
Apologies for not keeping up but I was trying to go back to an old comment about Ed's picks --the old Fenders.
Allen G.: do you know if the plastic formulation has changed since the late 70s/early 80s? .. and the thickness of the medium/thin Fender picks?
Semi-related question to the community: any thoughts or comment on on the striped Tortex picks Dunlop is selling these days?
Otherwise, thanks a bunch to DZ and the rest of you EVH nerds! can't get enough of this stuff!

Hi DZ! Any estimate when the Line 6 Helix VH presets will become available for us subscribers?
Ok Blues. I'll take VH3 over your TRANSMISSION OK any day of the fucking week. Two seconds of "swimming"... Marcus Is Out. Peace Brother.
