The Johnny Beane Podcast

Our guests on "Exclusively Van Halen" tonight are Michael “Myko” Gutierrez and Robert Stoltz. They will talk about one of the rarest Van Halen guitars ever — a little-known-about Kramer Baretta built and painted in 1984 at 5150 by Ed and his then-guitar tech Rudy Leiren. This guitar was Ed's personal studio-use-only guitar that he played at 5150. And it's one of the only Kramers owned by Ed that's found its way into the wild. Michael won this guitar in a “dream-come-true contest” sponsored by Kramer Guitars and Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine, and Ed himself gave the guitar to Michael in person at the 1985 NAMM show in Anaheim, California. Robert has worked on several Van Halen-related publications and first wrote about this rare guitar in 1997 for The Inside magazine. He recently wrote a lengthy follow-up article, one delving into more details about the guitar and the history behind it. That article will appear online soon.

Michael Anthony Opens Up About His One Big Regret: Van Halen Deserved a Thunderous Farewell, Not a Whimper For Michael Anthony, former Van Halen bassist, the ride with one of rock's most electrifying bands was nothing short of a dream — until the ending, which still haunts him. In a recent episode of Get on the Bus, Anthony revealed his biggest career regret: how Van Halen's legendary run came to an unceremonious close. “It should have gone out with a fricking bang that shook the world,” he said, “and it was more like a whimper, the way everything ended.” Though he described the band's heyday as “living the dream” and even “a fairy tale,” the behind-the-scenes reality was far from perfect. As years went by, tensions and personal rifts—particularly with guitarist Eddie Van Halen—created a lasting fracture. “Unfortunately, Eddie and I never made amends,” Anthony shared. “We had some issues, and I'm sure that if he had not passed when he did, we would've reconciled… we would've calmed all that stuff down.” In a bittersweet twist, Anthony revealed that there had been talks of a massive reunion tour featuring the original members — a true full-circle moment in the making. “I talked to Wolfgang [Van Halen], and he said there were plans to bring everyone back together,” Anthony recalled. “At that point in Ed's life, he was more like, ‘Hey, the past is the past... water under the bridge.'” But time ran out. Eddie Van Halen passed away in 2020, and with him went the final chance for the ultimate Van Halen reunion. Now, years later, Anthony holds onto the music, the memories — and the what ifs. “That's the only regret I have,” he said. “We were supposed to go out with thunder. Not silence.” Michael Anthony - The TRUE Van Halen Story You've NEVER Heard! https://youtu.be/oKzjBY-OarA?si=TXZlTWyqxHjeu_tB EVH Van Halen guitar keychains - https://www.vanhalenstore.com/page/VH/Little-Guitars/KEYSET-456

"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.

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. #VanHalen #SammyHagar #WolfgangVanHalen #MammothWVH #EddieVanHalen #JoeSatriani #AlexVanHalen #OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath #RockNews #ExclusivelyVanHalen #JohnnyBeaneTV Want to create live streams like this?

In this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we take a trip back in time to May 29, 1983, the day Van Halen headlined Heavy Metal Day at the iconic US Festival in San Bernardino, California. This legendary performance drew over 300,000 fans and solidified Van Halen's status as a dominant force in rock history.

In this packed episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive deep into a pivotal moment in Van Halen history — the day Eddie Van Halen nearly left the band to join Kiss. Gene Simmons claims it happened on the same day Eddie played him a demo of “Jump,” a song that shocked the Kiss co-founders with its lack of guitar. “So you're going to add guitars?” Gene asked. “No, that's it,” Eddie replied — marking a bold shift in his musical direction in 1983. We trace the history of Gene Simmons' involvement with Van Halen, from the band's early days at Gazzarri's on the Sunset Strip to the now-famous Zero demo he produced. We also discuss the internal friction between Eddie and David Lee Roth that led Eddie to consider jumping ship and joining Kiss — a move Gene ultimately talked him out of. Then, we shift gears to honor the legacy of Rick Derringer, the American rock icon who passed away recently. Known for “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo,” Derringer played a surprising role in the Van Halen story. We talk about the early days when Van Halen covered Derringer's songs live, and we revisit the unforgettable moment when Rick Derringer and Eddie Van Halen jammed together at NAMM, a rare and electrifying meeting of guitar heroes. It's an episode full of deep cuts, rock history, and behind-the-scenes stories that link Van Halen, Kiss, and Rick Derringer in unexpected and unforgettable ways. I showed off some of my Van Halen striped guitars talked about each one a little bit.  And thank you to Bay Area Rich we unboxed a mystery “canned good item”. 

OU812 (pronounced "Oh You Ate One Too") is the eighth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on May 24, 1988. It is the band's second album to feature vocalist Sammy Hagar, following the success of 5150. Van Halen began work on OU812 in September 1987 and completed it in April 1988, just a month before its release.

Our guest on "Exclusively Van Halen" is none other than the Van Halen tone king himself — Jim Gaustad! A lifelong disciple of the Brown Sound, Jim's obsession with Eddie Van Halen's tone began the moment he dropped the needle on Van Halen I.

Now, Jim Gaustad & IK Multimedia bring that passion and precision to “The Brown Sound 78/79,” the first in a limited series of three TONEX Signature Collections. This set dives deep into the explosive sonic DNA of Van Halen I and II — with 50 meticulously modeled tones that feel like the records.

Sammy Hagar has shared his thoughts on David Lee Roth's recently announced 21-date summer tour, which will see Roth return to the stage performing classic Van Halen songs. With both former Van Halen frontmen now touring in 2025, fans are witnessing a rare moment in rock history where two distinct eras of the band are being celebrated simultaneously. Hagar, who is currently playing Las Vegas with a brand-new residency titled “The Best of All Worlds Stays in Vegas” at Dolby Live at Park MGM. —featuring Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Kenny Aronoff—responded on Instagram, offering his take on Roth's upcoming shows. In his comment, Hagar acknowledged the timing of both tours and reflected on the ongoing legacy of Van Halen's music, emphasizing the excitement of seeing both frontmen bringing Van Halen's sound to stages across the country.

Sammy Hagar Opens Up on 21-Year Rift with Alex Van Halen: "I'm Still Out Here Doing It—and That Bothers Him" In a candid new interview with Rolling Stone, Sammy Hagar has broken his silence on the long-standing rift between him and Alex Van Halen—revealing they haven't spoken in over two decades. Alex, who notably refused to mention Sammy by name in his recent memoir Brothers, has apparently shut the door on any form of communication, and Hagar is finally offering his side of the story. “I've asked people like Irving Azoff, ‘What's the problem?'” Hagar says. “Some say it's about Cabo Wabo—that the band gave it to me when it was losing money, and after I turned it into a massive success, Alex got mad. But they gave it to me! I signed off on everything and took the risk. Now they're angry I made it work?” But the Cabo story is only part of the tension. Hagar also points to his brutally honest 2011 memoir Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock, where he chronicled Eddie Van Halen's struggles during their final tour together. While Sammy says he's not looking to drag Eddie's name through the mud again, the damage may have already been done. Still, Hagar believes something deeper is fueling Alex's resentment. “I think Al's mad because I'm still out there doing it—with Mike [Anthony]—and he can't. He's not a frontman, not a songwriter. And I don't think he wants to—or can—play drums anymore. I'd feel terrible if I couldn't do it either. But I'm happy, man. And being happy really pisses people off.” Hagar adds with a smirk, “Al, I'm making you money out here—selling Van Halen records, keeping the legacy alive. Just leave me alone, and I'll do the same.” Alex, for his part, has offered a different vision of Van Halen's legacy. In interviews promoting Brothers, he explained why the book ends in 1984, skipping over the entire "Van Hagar" era and beyond. “The original band—that was the magic,” Alex told Rolling Stone and USA Today. “After that, it wasn't the same. We did good work, but the spirit, the fabric, the bond—it changed.” Asked about the Best Of All Worlds tour featuring Hagar, Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Jason Bonham, Alex didn't mince words: “I'm not interested. They're not doing the band justice. That's not my business.” In fact, Alex never once mentioned Hagar by name during the Rolling Stone interview. Instead, he referred to post-1984 Van Halen simply as: “We had a lot of other singers over the years.” Despite the cold shoulder, Hagar insists he and Eddie reconciled before the guitarist's death in 2020. “I'm at peace with Eddie,” Sammy says. “That was important to me.” Hagar fronted Van Halen from 1985 to 1996, delivering four No. 1 albums—5150, OU812, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and Balance—before the band's brief 2004 reunion. That tour ended on a sour note, with Anthony forced to take a pay cut and sign away rights to the band name and logo just to participate. As for Alex? Hagar isn't holding his breath for a reunion call. “Al's changed. And that's fine,” he says. “I'm just out here keeping the music alive.” "Exclusively Van Halen" is the ultimate destination for all things Van Halen.

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.

Sammy Hagar Releases Dream-Inspired Tribute to Eddie Van Halen – "Encore, Thank You, Goodnight." Just months after announcing his semi-retirement from touring, Sammy Hagar is back with a powerful new single, Encore, Thank You, Goodnight., out April 25 via Big Machine Rock. Co-written with Joe Satriani and co-produced by Satriani and Eric Caudieux, the track was inspired by a dream Hagar had about Eddie Van Halen. The result? A heartfelt, high-energy tribute celebrating their unforgettable years together in Van Halen. “This song is my final bow to that part of my life,” says Hagar. “It's a thank-you – with love, respect, and one hell of a guitar solo.” The track also features Michael Anthony on bass and signature Van Halen-style backing vocals, with Kenny Aronoff delivering hard-hitting drums. Satriani brings soaring guitar work that channels Eddie's spirit while staying true to his own sound. Fans attending The Best of All Worlds Las Vegas residency kickoff at Dolby Live will witness the live debut of the song at the end of the month.
