Exclusively Van Halen: US Festival 1983! Heavy Metal Day Setlist, Trivia & Rock History 5/29/25

🎸 On This Electrifying Episode of Exclusively Van Halen… 🤘

We go deep into Van Halen’s hometown legacy with an epic article from Van Halen News Desk—spotlighting the legendary Pasadena landmarks where rock ‘n’ roll history was born! 🔥

That took us straight to VisitPasadena . com, and from there, I shared exclusive footage from my live stream adventure, where I walked in the footsteps of the mighty Van Halen!

Here’s where we went:

🏛️ Pasadena Civic Auditorium – Where Eddie & Alex rocked one of their first major shows. There’s even a memorial plaque honoring Eddie Van Halen himself.

🎶 The “VH” Sidewalk on Allen Avenue – A sacred slab of cement where Eddie and Alex carved “VH” back in 1976, before the fame exploded.

🏡 Van Halen Family Home on Las Lunas Street – The garage that launched a million riffs. This is where Eddie and Alex woodshedded the sound that would change rock forever.

Guitar Center Hollywood where they have band handprints in the sidewalk and a signed Kramer guitar!

And then some of the places mentioned in the article were -
🎤 Diamond Dave’s Childhood House on Bradford Street – Where the swagger and charisma of David Lee Roth first took shape.

💿 Canterbury Records – Pasadena’s vinyl paradise since 1956. A must for crate diggers and rock historians.

📍 Van Halen didn’t just come from Pasadena—they put it on the rock ‘n’ roll map. Over 80 million albums later, their legacy lives on, and I got to bring you along for the ride!

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into an article where Steve Vai recalls the moment he knew he was destined to join David Lee Roth’s band after Roth’s split from Van Halen in 1985.

Vai shares how, the second he heard Roth was searching for a guitarist, he told his roommate, “That’s my gig.” The very next day, Roth himself called. We also talk about Roth’s ambitions to “beat Van Halen,” the challenges of filling Eddie Van Halen’s shoes, and why Vai believed he was perfect for the role.

Tune in for this deep look into one of rock’s most iconic stories—Steve Vai’s early days with Diamond Dave and the legacy of Van Halen.

On this Straturday Night episode of JohnnyBeaneTV, we debut our brand-new show intro! Let us know what you think in the comments—this one’s longer so I can handle behind-the-scenes work like tweeting out the live feed, activating Nightbot, and getting the studio lights dialed in before going on camera.

🎤 We kick things off talking about the David Lee Roth concert at Mountain Winery on Friday night. The band was on fire, Roth was legendary, and if you’re a Van Halen fan who missed it—you seriously missed out. We also dive into other classic 70s and 80s artists who shaped the era.

🎥 Then we roll some exclusive b-roll footage:
 • Music Therapy Laz, Bay Area Rich, and I exploring Guitar Showcase in San Jose, digging through the parts bin.
 • Octopus Ears, Alex Radford, and Laz joining me at Danville Music in Danville, CA, checking out killer guitars.

🛠️ Back at the workbench, it’s guitar mod time! Ron swaps pickups in his Crackle Jackson, while I install a Squier Telecaster neck onto a Strat body—using a leftover loaded pickguard from a Leo Jaymz kit. Everything snapped right together, but I’m already eyeing another pickguard for a future upgrade.

🎬 Plus—we had a blast in the chat guessing my all-time favorite movie. Did you guess it right?
