Let the Music Take You

Let’s Get The Party Started (feat. Bring Me The Horizon)

Warren goes over the history of Eddie Van Halen and how his legacy has significantly impacted the music industry. Warren and Jamie Humphries also explain the technicalities behind Eddie’s guitar playing and how unique and different it is.&nbsp; Van Halen had only recently been signed to Warner at the time of Fowly’s review, and the Los Angeles band hadn’t yet released their landmark debut album. But they had created a tremendous following in the Los Angeles area with a massive heavy metal sound emerging from a small three piece band (David Lee Roth fronted the group as a consummate showman, but left the instrumental part to Eddie on guitar, Eddie’s brother Alex on drums and Michael Anthony on bass). By the time the band released their eponymous first album in February of 1978, Van Halen was poised for almost-certain commercial success. But nothing could have prepared audiences for the album’s completely instrumental second track, “Eruption,” in which Eddie groundbreaking guitar playing was showcased, full-force, for the world to see.

Tonight’s episode of Talking Guitars was all about inspiration—how gear fuels creativity!
Every time I get a new piece of gear, it sparks something. A riff, a melody, a full-on song. That’s the magic. I shared how, when I first started playing guitar, I was nervous—where would the ideas come from? But as it turns out, the gear brings the music. Every single time.

We also dove into some killer news: Billie Joe Armstrong recently played Randy Rhoads’ “Crazy Train” solo with one of his side projects—and absolutely crushed it! We had to talk about that legendary crossover moment.

Then I plugged in the Fender Acoustasonic through the Joyo Acoustic Amp, cranked it up, and played some of my newest riffs for you all—fresh, raw, and straight from the soul.

Oh, and we wished YouTube a big Happy 20th Birthday!

Today we have a full on legend on the show. Guitar God, Riff Master and Rock N Roll Hall of Famer, Mr Brad Whitford of Aerosmith. It was an honor to sit down with Brad last week in Las Vegas where they are in the middle of their Deuces are Wild&nbsp;residency at the MGM Park. Brad is what I call the glue of Aerosmith. His Rhythm and Lead playing have been the inspiration of many guitar gods today including Slash of Guns n Roses. Brad also wrote some of the great Aerosmith classic like Last Child, Nobody's Fault, Kings and Queens and many many more. I wanna thank Brad's Guitar Tech, Greg Howard for setting this up and being a fantastic friend and also Heidi Weaver my old land lady for the invite to Vegas.
