The first episode with Vai was amazing! I bought the complete $51.50 package and am curious about the Premier Guitar subscription. I already have an online-only subscription to PG, but definitely want to get my hands on a printed version of the current issue with Ed on the cover. Should I head to the nearest magazine stand, or will this printed copy be included with the package that I bought? Thank you and keep up the great work.
Hi Steven, I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast so far and thanks for jumping in on it! I expect to hear from Premier Guitar today with the details for 5150 bundle owners. You'll receive an email about very soon. Best, DZ
.....and then I find this?! 5150 bundle. Holy dental floss, Batman! I think we all need this right now. Thank you, Dweezil and Co.! All my favorite musicians AND gear talk...wow! Can’t wait to hear more about (I assume) the Circles/Rasta guitar. Keep up all the hard work. #floydandkahlerlivingtogether
Just finished part 1. So good...it was so interesting to hear you and Steve (I call him Steve like we’re buddies) discuss the different challenges in breaking down VH and then Eddie have the same challenges trying to breakdown your Dad’s music. Something that intellectually makes sense but I had never considered. Can’t wait for part 2. Be well.
Really looking forward to the content and the Helix presets...I have both Native and the Stomp running through a 5150iii. Hoping to see a 4CM preset that will take advantage of that setup. If not pretty sure we can just reverse engineer the reverse engineer to suit our needs. FWIW Like you Fair Warning is my favorite album, but I do think his tone and the mix on Diver Down is way overlooked. Looking forward to other's perspectives. BTW a murders row of guests...thanks for putting this together.
Thanks for jumping in. I hope you enjoy the series. I'll keep your suggestions in mind when we make the presets for the Helix. I too love the tone on Diver Down! Especially "The Full Bug." The tone is still mean like Fair Warning but doesn't have the richness of the mids and low end. A different sound but still a very good one!
5150 bundle instabought! Thank you, Dweezil for putting this podcast together. Your unique insight into Eddie's music is warmly welcomed by all of us VH fans!!
QQ1: Will you (pretty please) release this awesome a cappella version of runnin with the devil/Dweezil? :)
QQ2: Will the brown sound presets be Axe-FX II compatible? (vs. only for the most recent versions of the Axe)
Thank you for the kind words! QQ1 - Maybe I will. QQ2 - I had not planned on that but now that you bring it up I will keep that in mind so that the presets will work for both AXE II and Axe III. Enjoy the bundle! Best, DZ
Man-oh-man, I fit the demographic!! I'm an EVH nut...I was twelve in 1982 and have been acting hypnotized, by all things VH, ever since. I have thoughtfully viewed the VH phenomenon, as an outsider, from all sorts of angles and tangents over the years. I think my most favorite, most unresolved, fascination with him is contained in this thought: we (the world at large) witnessed, first-hand, the good...the widespread powerful good...that can come from journeying to the center of yourself (introversion) and courageously sharing the results. What EVH unearthed within himself and shared is astounding. To me, it's the sound of frenetic enthusiasm. How fortunate are we to be the beneficiaries?
I am really looking forward to what you endeavor upon!! It's gonna be GREAT!! Einar William Freberg (Billy)
Got the whole 5150 package and I've just finished listening to the first episode, amazing stuff!! I can't wait for the next one, really looking forward to the brown sound episode too! Thanks Dweezil!
Glad you're enjoying it Rocco! The Brown Sound episode is going to be a lot of fun and will be very educational as well. The next episode is part 2 with Steve Vai. Premiering next week.
Thanks for your note. I'm actually speaking to Billy Corgan tomorrow about Fair Warning. We will see what we can dig up? Haven't recorded W&CF yet but I'll keep your questions in mind!
WOW 7 months of in-depth VAN HALEN geekery !!! I am signed up and ready to listen. I am really looking forward to what ya have to offer as far as Kemper Goodness. I promoted the podcast on my instagram. This is really great. Thanks brother Zappa
Hi Mark, Thanks for your support! I'm excited to share all of the goodness with everyone. One more great thing to share with everyone is that we are donating 5% of proceeds to Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation (EVH's favorite charity) and also another 5% to Feeding America (VH supported food drives on their tours). All good things!
As far as the Axe-FX III presets go...please include in the presets the proper (as is possible) panning of guitar/reverb etc...And if you personally use anything other than the onboard factory cab IRs, then please name the exact commercial 3rd party IR cabs that you use to help nail that classic early tone, so that we can purchase them. It's only logical that a Axe-FX III Brown Sound dialing in session by Dweezil is in your near future. I know it would be a big seller!
Thanks for your support. I'll definitely include the info you're requesting. I haven't made the presets yet but I'm looking forward to doing that and will be excited to share them with you.

Does anyone know if the 1-year subscription to Premier Guitar that comes with the bundle is available world wide? Is it hardcopy or digital? Thanks
Hi Vinicius,
Yes! If you have ordered the 5150 bundle, you will receive an email this week with info about your subscription options.

Hi Scott,
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! I just finished putting together episode 2 (part 2 with your buddy Steve.)
Best, DZ
This is so awesome Dweezil!!!! 5150 bundle ordered!!! How often are you going to post the podcasts? Thanks!
Thanks Charles! We are going to post episodes weekly!

Hi Billy,
I agree, EVH was brilliant in many ways and we are lucky that he found a way to share his talents with all of us.
Got the whole 5150 package and I've just finished listening to the first episode, amazing stuff!! I can't wait for the next one, really looking forward to the brown sound episode too! Thanks Dweezil!

DZ I am so excited to hear this especially insights into W&CF and FW. What external influences helped create his ear and style.
