🎸 What’s inside the latest Johnny Beane TV jam?

🎂 Honoring the legendary Les Paul on what would be his 110th birthday—thanks for inventing the solid‑body that started it all!

🥁 Big birthday shout‑out to drum powerhouse Greg Bissonette (David Lee Roth band) for keeping the groove alive.

⚡️ Michael J. Fox—the first guitar hero who lit my fire. Remember that epic Rolling Stone cover of MJF leaping mid‑air with a Fender Strat? I drooled over that axe for years.

🏷️ I break out my own Fender “#1” Bullet, the faithful workhorse Bay‑Area‑Rich handed down to me—the spitting image of my very first guitar.

📦 Plus: fresh unboxings straight from the mailroom—new toys from Lekato and the game‑saving Drop Strap that’ll star in upcoming vids.

Hit play, crank it up, and let’s celebrate the riff‑filled life together! 🤘

"It was pure rock ‘n’ roll heaven."

That’s how guitar legend Pat Travers describes the most unforgettable gig of his life—a scorching summer day in 1978 at Oakland Coliseum, sharing the bill with Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Foreigner, and his own Pat Travers Band. Five powerhouse bands. One stage. Over 65,000 screaming fans.

“It was the best show I ever played,” Travers told Rick Beato. “It started at 11 in the morning and didn’t let up. Just hit after hit, band after band.”

Van Halen. AC/DC. Nobody remembers who went on first—and it didn’t matter. What mattered was the energy, the music, and the wild backstage scene, where legends mingled like it was just another day in the park.

🎸 Larry DiMarzio vs. Eddie Van Halen – Who Did It First? 🔧

Guitar legend Eddie Van Halen was known for his revolutionary playing and his groundbreaking guitar mods – but what if someone else had the same ideas before him?

In this video, we dive into a fascinating story from pickup pioneer Larry DiMarzio, who claims he made the exact same bridge mod Eddie later became famous for — reducing string spacing to improve tuning stability and string alignment. DiMarzio’s redesigned Strat bridge addressed the same issues Eddie tackled with his famous Frankenstein guitar and Floyd Rose system.

💬 DiMarzio says:

“I literally made the change that Eddie Van Halen was known for and was thinking about.”

We’ll explore:

DiMarzio’s early innovations in pickup and bridge design

How Eddie Van Halen’s mods mirror DiMarzio’s solutions

Why the Floyd Rose won in the end — and why DiMarzio didn’t love the tone

The legacy of both inventors in shaping shred-era guitar performance

🔥 Whether you’re a tone chaser, gearhead, or Van Halen superfan, this episode is packed with deep insight into guitar history and tech.

🎸 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, we talk about Sammy Hagar's bold invitation to Wolfgang Van Halen to join him for a special Van Halen-themed residency, the dream that inspired his emotional tribute to Eddie, and why he still holds out hope for more musical magic—even without Alex Van Halen.

Sammy Hagar is turning up the heat again—and this time, he’s calling out to Eddie Van Halen’s son, Wolfgang, with a heartfelt and electrifying offer:

“Hey Wolfie, let’s do a residency someday—just one show of Van Halen songs!”

In a new interview with WRIF, the Red Rocker didn’t hold back his admiration for Wolfgang, praising the Mammoth WVH frontman for blazing his own trail.

“He’s not trying to be his dad, and I love that,” Hagar said with genuine pride. “Let that boy boogie!”

Despite Wolfgang’s past statements that he won’t perform Van Halen songs live, Hagar is holding out hope for a one-night-only celebration. But that’s not all. Sammy revealed something even more surreal—his new song Encore, Thank You, Goodnight was inspired by a dream he had where he wrote a song with Eddie Van Halen himself.

“I had a friggin’ dream and wrote a song with Eddie!” Sammy shared. “That’s as real as it gets.” He describes the track as a final chapter, a spiritual jam session that gave him the closure he needed. “The ‘what if’ is gone now. I feel good. Healthy, even.”

The track features none other than Joe Satriani, who Sammy says completely captured Eddie’s essence.

“The intro… I don’t even try to figure out what Joe’s doing,” Hagar laughed. “I ain’t torturing myself with that.”

One person not involved? Alex Van Halen.

“Al and I… we’ve got a problem,” Hagar admitted. “You’d have to ask him what it is. I don’t know. But I knew he probably wouldn’t be part of it.”

Still, when asked if he regrets his time in Van Halen, Sammy didn’t hesitate:

“Oh, hell no! The only regret I have is that we didn’t make more music. Eddie and I were just getting started. We were capable of so much more.”

And as a bonus, Hagar revealed he’ll be part of Black Sabbath’s farewell show, originally planning to sing No More Tears until Ozzy Osbourne himself asked to sing Hagar’s Rock Candy!

So now? Sammy’s cranking up the volume on Flying High Again.

You won’t want to miss this episode of Exclusively Van Halen—packed with heart, history, and one seriously rocking dream.
