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. From gigging at age 12 to reverse-engineering Marshalls and launching the Brown Sound Quest YouTube channel, Jim has spent a lifetime chasing that iconic tone. 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.

Fair Warning Turns 44! Released April 29, 1981, Fair Warning may not have been Van Halen's biggest commercial hit, but it's become a fan favorite and a cult classic. Gritty, dark, and aggressive, this fourth studio album captured the band at their rawest—and showed just how far Eddie Van Halen could push the boundaries of rock guitar.
TONIGHT on Johnny Beane TV! We kicked things off with a deep dive into the killer EVH 5150 Series guitars—you know I had to talk tone and playability! Then things got even better when I shared a couple of awesome new additions to my collection from Bay Area Rich: a rare Epiphone Stratocaster and an Epiphone Telecaster, both from the late '80s! Total hidden gems. We took a trip down memory lane as I showed some throwback photos of my childhood guitars and reminisced about one of my very first axes, the legendary Fender Squier No. 1 Bullet. So many memories! After that, we scoped out some cool Reverb listings—you never know what treasures you'll find there—and then I unboxed something wild: the TEASE SBH-E, an orange silver-burst Tele-style guitar that looks and plays like a dream. Huge shoutout to Bay Area Rich again! If you're into guitar talk, gear drops, unboxings, and a whole lot of fun, hit that follow and join us LIVE right here on Johnny Beane TV!

Why did Eddie Van Halen leave Peavey? In this episode, we dive into the real story behind Eddie's departure from Peavey in 2004, taking the iconic 5150 amp and Wolfgang guitar with him to launch EVH with Fender. According to a new Guitar World interview with Peavey CEO Courtland Gray, Joe Satriani's endorsement deal may have played a key role in Eddie's decision to walk away. Was Eddie upset that Peavey signed another guitar legend? Did the launch of the JSX amp cause friction? We'll break down the timeline, the behind-the-scenes tensions, and how this split shaped the future of EVH gear.

Naturally, every recording Eddie Van Halen ever played on has been pored over by legions of guitar players of all styles. It might seem funny, then, to consider EVH solos that might require more attention. But your 100 Guitarists hosts have their picks of solos that they feel merit a little discussion. Some of these are deep cuts—get ready for some instrumental bonus tracks and Van Halen III mentions—and some are among the biggest radio hits of their time. Just because their hits, though, doesn't mean we don't have more to add to the conversation.We can't cover everything EVH—Jason has already tried while producing the Runnin' With the Dweezil podcuast. But we cover as much as we can in our longest episode yet. And in the second installment of our current listening segment, we're talking about new-ish music from Oz Noy and Bill Orcutt.Supported by ToneSpeak: https://www.tonespeak.com/Follow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickmillevoiFollow Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jasonshadrickGet at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.comCall/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.

This week the guys resume a conversation begun in Episode 13! What's it like to be a book club of one, and what are the social dynamics when two book clubs of one meet temporarily to discuss, uh, books? Well, it's time to gorge and gourmandize on the written page, and it's not just Classics this time around. Jeff starts us off with some selections from Erik Larson, Jeffrey Toobin, Paul Jeffers, and Noel Monk, before finishing off with a bit of David Grant (Alexander's tomb) and Greg King (Leopold and Loeb). It's a main course of true crime, freemasonry, Alexander the Great, and EVH, as the book club dances the night away. Then it's Dave's turn, with volumes from Ed Feser (Five Proofs of the Existence of God), William Kauffman (American Brutus), Gaven Kerr (more Aquinas), and Richard Newman (Alma Rose). The tastes may not be similar, and dentistry gets more than a little airtime, but what's not to love about a garden, a library, a good cup of brew, and a wide-ranging discussion? Join our book club for an hour or so, or start one of your own.

The topic? Tribute bands! Hear why these stellar musicians LOVE their cover bands, and the lengths they go to convey the vibe, spirit, look and sound of their respective bands! James Durbin shares stories from the ultimate cover band experience, American Idol, what it was like fronting Quiet Riot, the advice he got from Judas Priest's Rob Halford, and why yacht rock is his favorite genre of music to cover. Rich Ward shares the secret to Guardians of the Jukebox's success, and explains how they put their 80s set list together. Femme Halen's Roseann Aldrete talks about all the studying and practice she does to get that Eddie Van Halen sound and tone down, her favorite EVH solos to play, and the most difficult songs for her in the Van Halen catalogue. And Nick Rich of the Fooz Fighters reveals why he gave up his Mick Jagger gig to take on the Dave Grohl role fulltime, how he manages to maintain that Grohl energy onstage, and why he felt it was important to grow out his hair and get the same arm tattoos as Dave.

Being born into rock royalty doesn't make you a rock star—you've gotta earn it with your own chops. And whether it's the classical pedigree of his first name or the hard-rock infamy of his surname, Wolfgang Van Halen has a long lineage to live up to. As he displays on this episode of Shred With Shifty, he's more than up to the task. Wolf joins Shifty to teach the blistering, tap-heavy solo for his song “Take a Bow,” from 2023's Mammoth II. It follows in his dad's footsteps, sure, but it also shows Wolf has a voice and vision of his own—both of which are just as potent and theatrical as his father's. Wolf treats us to a tour of his new signature semi-hollowbody EVH model, the SA126, with details from EVH managing director Matt Bruck. But he doesn't hold out on the family jewels: Wolf shares the story of his father's iconic Frankenstein Strat and brings it on the show, with some extra dirt on his dad's journey from Marshalls to his signature Peavey 5150 amps. When Shifty asks who's stewarding his father's invaluable gear, Wolf eases our concerns: “If the world ended, they would still be okay,” he grins. Click below to subscribe to the podcast!

Session drum ace Aaron Sterling might have fusion roots, but his bread-and-butter work lives at the top of the charts, where's he's featured on tracks by artists such as John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and Lana Del Rey. He tells Cory what brought him to Los Angeles, why he's “meant to be in the studio” instead of the stage, and he shares the surreal story of playing with EVH in a florist's parking lot for Tracy Morgan.Sterling defines his approach to recording in his studio as a “pedalboard approach” and explains:“When guitar players started getting more pedals, in the old days, and then they started getting a pedalboard. And then there's the rack. This was this evolution where you guys started controlling more and more of your sound and it was less waiting for a mixer to do interesting things later. And you were just like, ‘Here's the sound.' You have your own plugin, you have all this stuff that you're doing to control your sound so that there's less work later.I got inspired by that concept when I started recording, even before I had my own studio, to give an engineer the most amount of stuff that's done. So that when I started recording myself, my philosophy was always the pedalboard philosophy, which is I'll give you the sounds, I'm not just gonna play the drums and let you do stuff later. I don't wanna think of myself as a drummer. I'll think of myself as a creator using drums to give you sounds that hopefully are the right thing for the song.”Stick around for the drummer's opinion of the Beatles' “Now and Then” and learn why he prefers large cymbals.Get 30% off your first year of DistroKid by going here: http://distrokid.com/vip/corywongVisit Aaron Sterling: https://aaronsterling.com/Hit us up: wongnotes@premierguitar.comVisit Cory: https://www.corywongmusic.comVisit Premier Guitar: http://premierguitar.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/wongnotespodIG:
Wolfgang Van Halen joins Cory for the season 7 premiere of Wong Notes! Chatting before the release of Mammoth II, the duo discuss guitar trios, 5150 studios, cloning, touring with Metallica, plus: Who's that playing wah on the record? What's WVH's rig? And much more.On his new record, WVH has lots to share. When it comes to writing and recording rhythm tracks, he's says, “It's all groove.” Later, he adds, “I've always championed myself as more of a rhythm player than anything.”And on what's next for EVH gear, he promises that there's much more in store.But the most profound thoughts come when the pair go deep on music. WVH shares his soloing philosophy, which he learned from his father: “Something I follow … when I write guitar solos that my dad taught me … is you can shred all you want, but if you can't sing the solo, then it's usually not working. There's always a moment … that you can do the wankery of a shreddy solo, but it's important to be able to hum the melody, you know? That usually, with the way that I write solos … is really deliberate in the way that I write … I'm a pretty poor off-the-cuff soloist, I like to really plan things out and have it be this nice piece. It kind of forms up with a melody, then it crescendos, then by the end it wraps up with … maybe a tapping section or a shreddy sort of passage. Basically, the main thing is you should be able to hum it. The melody should be in your head.”Get 30% off your first year of DistroKid by going here: http://distrokid.com/vip/corywongVisit Wolfgang Van Halen: https://mammothwvh.com/Hit us up: wongnotes@premierguitar.comVisit Cory: https://www.corywongmusic.comVisit Premier Guitar: http://premierguitar.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/wongnotespodIG:
