Runnin' With the Dweezil

Premier Guitar and guitarist extraordinaire Dweezil Zappa, son of the legendary composer/guitarist Frank Zappa, have joined efforts to celebrate the life of this generation’s most influential guitarist, Edward Van Halen. Already months in the making prior to Van Halen’s untimely October 6 passing, the joint endeavor is a new podcast partnership in which, each week, host Zappa will invite a different guitar luminary to open up about their encounters with Edward Van Halen and his music.

Miss EVH

This helps to talk about the greatness-While everybody else played the guitar- Eddy drove sound out of Amps

Anything about Ed is 5 stars. Especially at the depths they go into.

I’m hooked but 7 to 13 minute shows is not enough...

Too Short

I love these conversations but they are too short. Would love to hear the full length conversations!

Just what the Doc ordered!

Dweezil, Thank you. I am so excited for you to drop this. You had a special relationship to Eddie and your perspective will be a perfect place to explore from. For those of us that love the craftsman and creator that EVH was - there can’t be enough conversation, insight and celebration of this work. I for one would be more than willing to pitch in for the longer conversations, the geeked-out dives into gear and any quirky random anecdotes that people who knew Ed could share with those of us that appreciate the playful, loving intensity of his music.
