We've all read this interview re-transcribed 100 times, but it's so cool to hear young Ed talk about himself, his gear and how he does things in this audio recording. I hope Jas releases more of these old tapes!

 
Not only did ed have vicious chops but apparently he'd beat your ass on the ball court too lol.

Great interview, thanks for posting.
 
Love him, feel like I had a personal connection with him, just like 100 million other guitar players.

I cringe every time I hear him talk about how great his Marshalls sound at 140 volts.
I wonder how many vintage Marshalls blew up in smoke shortly after this article appeared🤔
 
Sorry to geek on details, but: All the times I've read this interview I missed the part where he talks about having 3 guitars he uses and the bit about the 3rd one. The Zloz pics in Sunset Sound during the VH2 sessions show that Dano neck still on the Strat body, but we see it in the (still white) Star body at the Fresno show kicking off the VH2 tour. So I wonder if he used that guitar in Strat form on that 1st tour. If so, I've never seen a picture.
 
27:35 - "I've never given up on rock 'n roll. I don't think rock is dead." Long live rock! Long live Eddie Van Halen!
