Hey Dweezil this has been such a passion project for you. A huge undertaking for just one person to do. In addition to editing your existing interviews, you liberally intersperse relevant (often rare) sound clips to illustrate the points being made. My question for you is do you need help logging time codes, or finding the relevant sound clips you need? I imagine just getting all the pieces in order before you even start editing must be a daunting task. You have a loyal community of friendly fans/friends here that might be able to help lessen the load if you ever needed it. Take care.
Thanks so much Mike! I'm sorry the wait times have been so excruciating! I'm at the very end of the process for Joe Satriani part 2 and I expect to be able to upload it by the weekend.
My computer has not been cooperating and keeps crashing every 20-30 minutes so that's been fun! You'll also hear it overheating on the episode, the fan is really loud in the background as I'm talking, also fun.
I was finally able to order a new laptop which will arrive in April. That is going to be a very good thing.
As for your question, I often don't know what clips will be needed until I start editing but I'm always open to seeing and hearing clips I may not have ever seen or heard so please do feel to post some links in the comments. Best, DZ
Looking forward to hearing what else is coming with the rest of the RWTD series… I’ll admit it’s been frustrating having to wait for such a time but it’s more the fact these interviews have been so glorious that we all selfishly just want more.. it’s been an amazing insight with your own anecdotes as well as the other great guitarists that have been graced by his presence..
I get it but I'm not giving up! You'll soon see why things have been taking longer than expected. There's more to the story than just a long editing process.
Dweezil, this series is simply the best! I have already gotten so much out of your thoughtful discussion and analysis, and I look forward to everything you do in the future. This was money well spent for me even if you never release another ep—although I know you will! All the best. -JP
Hi Dweezil , its without question you are doing your best to try to create the RWTD episodes. I wanted to enquire if you still are planning to feature George Lynch ( I recall when I originally subscribed he was mentioned as an additional episode) only, he's the one guitar player who actually played gigs with, shared stages with VH in the early days ( before being signed and in 1988 - just thought he could have some unique insight ?? I've also re discovered The Inside Magazine I had boxed away in the loft ( U.K ) if your in the U.S.A I 'm referring to attic ... what an excellent publication it was too ?? and a certain Dweezil is featured in one edition.
Terry Kilgore actually spent a lot more time with Ed personally during the early days. Though he is ill currently, I’d love for him to share his memories here as well…
When I purchased this bundle, I was very excited. The first batch of episodes really delivered. While I am not enamored with the lack of content updates in recent months, I trust and have faith that Dweezil is a man of his word. Hoping the second Satriani episode is forthcoming soon, and that it will spark positive momentum.
I totally understand where you're coming from. I am working hard to get back on track. I've been overwhelmed with a huge workload beyond just the podcast so I'm trying my best to catch up for all of the RWTD community members. I've blocked out this entire week to give you all more content. I'm very sorry for the lengthy delay!
Thanks for the honest response can't wait for new episodes.
Dave's Wish list:
Take another pass but every album with blues saraceno!!!
Also how about Dweezil does Ozzy *(Randy/Jake), Ratt, Zeppelin
Would love if you could compile a list of what guitar ed used on which song for every album. I know you have discussed such in the podcasts but a list would be amazing.
QUESTION: EDDIE OVER HAND TECHNIQUE JUDGEMENT DAY? I have seen ed do the finger work for Judgement Day by putting his hands over top of guitar? But seems to me you can play with regular finger work not hand over top. knowing ed is not one for flash why does he do this??
Dweezil, thanks so much for the podcast the insights and laughs keep them coming!
Thanks for your support. I like the ideas you suggested as well. I'll definitely include Blues in another episode or 2!
As for Judgement Day, the section you're talking about was originally played in a piano-esque way. EVH had a fold out tray on the back of his guitar in 1984 and played the guitar like a piano for part of his live solo. Even though he could have played it in a less piano-esque way while holding the guitar normally, it's probably a hold over from that technique he used to compose it. It does look fun though when played over the top!
He sort of answered it in one of his updates. I forget exactly what he said, but the same chaos that slowed production of the episodes has prevented making the presets. If I recall properly he’s setting up a new studio or some such. Hopefully there’s another update soon. He knows all the tones so well, having a few VH a presets covering every era would be awesome. I kind of have that now, but I know dweezil’s stuff will be more accurate.
Yes, I have been setting up the studio which is quite an undertaking. It's been under construction for almost 7 years. Anyway, yes I am still working on getting the presets together and I will be doing the most accurate versions I possibly can. It's a bit of challenge too because I'm working across a few different platforms and I'd like to get them finished all at the same time.
It’s starting to feel like we’re not getting anymore. I realize that’s not the case, but it just seems that way because I want to hear all of the great commentary on these great VH records. With no disrespect to the other guests, I would be totally happy if it were Dweezil and Nuno talking about all of them. They both were like so super nerdy (IN A VERY AWESOME WAY) over the smallest of sounds of every song. Blues and Paul were also outstanding.
I know it's been very disappointing to wait for extended periods of time in between episodes. It was never foreseen that this would be the case. So many things have transpired in the last few months that have been adding to the gridlock. I know very well that people aren't happy about the circumstances and I'm not either because I really want everyone to be able to enjoy the content in a timely manner.
I won't bog you all down with details about the gridlock or list any other excuses because I am focused on creating the solution.
All I can do is apologize for falling behind and make up for it by getting the next few episodes out the door in a more expedited manner.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that there will be a very exciting announcement on the horizon which will most likely give everyone insight as to why (beyond technical problems) there has been such slow progress on the episodes.
As I finish writing this I am going back to the final touches on Joe Satriani epsiode 2. Andy Wood balance is well underway too so the pace will be quickening for once.
Sorry for all of the disappointing absence of communication and slow releases. As a single person in the position to create all of the content and also involve myself in other facets of my professional and personal life, I have become overwhelmed. I am climbing back up the mountain now and I'm looking forward to getting into a better flow for all of you.
You all deserve to have the best content I can deliver and I want to deliver on my commitment to all of you.
I know there's been a long wait. There's a lot of balls in the air and The Joe Satriani Episode has been a real struggle for me. Joe Satriani part 2 will reveal even more about that struggle. In any case, like Sisyphus, I am still committed to pushing the rock up the hill. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
Absolutely love this series and am SO GRATEFUL for it, but with how long it’s taking between episodes, I’m a little nervous that the Helix patches and the 8 bonus episodes won’t ever happen
Just an update about the patches. I've been building a recording studio for the last 5 years and it is finally being tested and made ready for service. The patches for all of the guitar tone content will be far better because of the monitoring environment in the studio. It has been on hold because of the contstruction but I'll be able to focus my attention on that stuff soon. Sorry for the wait!
I downloaded the first two episodes with Steve and finally made the time to listen to them. I am absolutely blown away at the love and detail that went into all of this. Incredible. I rode the emotional roller coaster on these. I'm ready to buy another ticket and get right back in line. Thanks DZ.
Happy Birthday Eddie! Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than listening to Runnin' with the Dweezil today...and then Fair Warning turned all the way up to 11!!
I’m really looking forward to the break down of “A Different Kind of Truth.” I think that John Shanks figured out a way to put three gigantic titans of sound in the mix and still able to distinguish each. Alex’s snare, Eddie’s righteous guitar, and Wolf’s King Kong bass sound. I also love that the overall volume of the mix is LOUD. Unlike OU812, which I can never get loud enough with headphones. Even though I missed Michael Anthony, I was highly impressed with Wolfgangs bass playing. He definitely inherited the VH swing and swagger. The stuttered bass line on She’s the Woman he executed flawlessly. My only small complaint regarding Eddie is the overuse of the wah pedal, but that’s just me. I love to get Eddie’s notes as unfiltered as possible. His tone was heavy and I loved everything about his playing, but nothing will ever top the sound he got on “Fair Warning” and “Balance”
I can’t wait to hear Dweezil and John discuss this one. I’m also very curious to hear the VH 3 record thoughts!
I’m sure someone else has posted this here before, but I know I hadn’t seen this footage until very recently. I’m sure Dweezil will not soon forget all of this!
Ive been hoping to hear if Dweezil may have an inside story on why Eddie called his use of effects (particularly when recording) “Jape.” I remember hearing Eddie using this term years ago about effects. One of Eddies cool made up words. Dweezil if you happen to know anything about the origins of Eddie and “jape” I’d love to hear it! Thanks.
How funny! I TOTALLY remember when he used that term ( it was used in the July 88 Guitar World Magazine interview about the making of OU812 ). Never knew what effect he used that term for ( I always presumed it was for an earlier Eventide model ).
“Jape” was a general term he used for any effects on the dry “guitar-to-amp” tone. He did specifically refer to the Eventide detune chorus sound and echo as being among these, but really it was a “catch-all” term. He used that term to differentiate the “effects” from the meat of his sound which was of course his fingers, the guitar and the amp.
Best Christmas gift for me was seeing a new RWTD episode!! Since then, I've had that episode on repeat mode.
As far as I'm concerned, it's the episode I've DREAMED of. Since I'm more of a techy nerd guitar guy, I TOTALLY enjoyed this episode. Even though Edward was my primary influence for picking up the guitar, Satch is my main inspiration for all things music/legato/amp sounds/ to his interviews on his own albums.
Dweezil, I can't thank you enough for this episode. I've had the honor of having one lesson ( and a few meet/greets ) with Joe and I've always enjoyed his perspectives. The F.U.C.K. album was the disc that inspired me to work more on my own sound and the music on that album really jump started my own musical adventures. I cannot wait for part two. You have done stellar work here. Thank you again!

Ah I thought it might be something like that thanks for the insight.
Any word on the axe fx3 presets?
Same question here

Where's episode 16? I thought it was going to be released in January.
It’s starting to feel like we’re not getting anymore. I realize that’s not the case, but it just seems that way because I want to hear all of the great commentary on these great VH records.

If we could get an update on when the Satch pt.2 is going to be would be awesome.
As someone who has edited his fair share of podcasts with noise problems, it can be a pain in the ass for sure, but not THIS much of a pain in the ass
Hi Lee,
I know there's been a long wait. There's a lot of balls in the air and The Joe Satriani Episode has been a real struggle for me. Joe Satriani part 2 will reveal even more about that struggle. In any case, like Sisyphus, I am still committed to pushing the rock up the hill. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

You rule Dweez! Looking forward to the satch episode part 2. Can’t wait for the presets too. Keep rockin
OMG the lead guitar emulations of DLR in E3 are LOOLZ OUTSTANDING ^^^^^^^^^^
It reminds of when I 1st saw EVH making animal noises with his fingers on his guitar on Mtv. It blew my mind up!
^
Ya - that was off the hook crazy awesome.
I’m a little late to the party, but I have brought a six pack. I really enjoyed the 1st 2 episodes of the podcast. Nice job, Dweezil Z^pp^.

You don't really believe Wolfgang played a single note on that record, do you?
Wolfgang absolutely tearing it up on She's the Woman at the Cafe Wha? gig:
I’m wondering when to expect the next episode, does anyone know? Thanks.
Sometime between now and an eternity
I’m sure someone else has posted this here before, but I know I hadn’t seen this footage until very recently. I’m sure Dweezil will not soon forget all of this!
