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.

Året er 1978 og vores tunge rockverden åbenbares af den himmelstormende debut fra amerikanske Van Halen med vidunderguitaristen Eddie i spidsen. 1978 byder også på det sidste Black Sabbath album med Ozzy ved mikrofonen i 35 år, mens bands som AC/DC og Judas Priest stormer frem med to x to topsolide albumudgivelser. Ronnie James Dio laver sin sidste plade med Rainbow, og Brian Robertson tager afsked med Thin Lizzy. Inden da laver han lige “verdens bedste guitarsolo”. På årets sidste dag indspiller Iron Maiden deres første demo. Det tunge rock år 1978 bliver behørigt vendt af studievært Jens “Jam” Rasmussen og vores faste og fabelagtige gæsteduo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - Van Halen debuterer med et af 70'ernes absolutte hovedværker, hvor guitar virtuosen Eddie Van Halen danner skole for tusindvis af metal guitarister. - Den sidste heavy rock-energi klemmes ud Black Sabbath med Ozzy i front på “Never Say Die!” - AC/DC leverer rusten, beskidt bluesrock på “Powerage” og rødglødende rock'n'roll på “If You Want Blood”. - Judas Priest skærper deres definerende metal-lyd endnu et hak, og designer deres tidlige heavy metal-outfit med læder og nitter. Michael Stützer Hansen inspireres af både look og guitarlyd. - Den unge guitarist Hank de Wank (f. René Krølmark) udfolder sig i det københavnske punkband Brats og inspireres af både KISS/Ace Frehley, The Ramones… og Judas Priest. - Mens Hank er ved at omdirigere Brats i heavy metal-retningen, udgiver københavnske Zig Zag Band et hårdt rocket album med titlen “To Streger Over Den Fede”. - Den europæiske metal-scene anno ‘78 præges af blandt andre schweiziske Krokus, tyske Scorpions og walisiske Budgie. - I Amerika udgiver Aerosmith “Live Bootleg”, som bl.a. indeholder den funky rocker “Walk This Way”, der kommer til at inspirere New Yorks hiphop-scene i det efterfølgende årti. - Ronnie James Dio laver sit sidste album med Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, mens David Coverdale sammentrækker ordene “White” og “Snake”. - Thin Lizzy udgiver det dobbelte livealbum “Live & Dangerous”. Brian Robertson forlader bandet kort efter udgivelsen, hvorpå han laver “verdens fedeste guitarsolo”. Steffen Jungersen føler og forklarer. - Iron Maiden indspiller deres første demo på årets sidste par dage, og gør sig klar til at erobre Londons metal undergrund i det nye år. Vi byder på en lille times tråd-snak fra 1978, og ønsker god lytning! Og dernæst på genhør til seriens sidste afsnit, fra 1979, om ca. 14 dage Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

BulletBoys exploded onto the scene in 1988 with their self-titled debut, produced by Ted Templeman (famed for his work with Van Halen and David Lee Roth). The album went gold, fueled by hits like “Smooth Up in Ya” and a blistering cover of The O'Jays' “For the Love of Money.” With comparisons to Van Halen swirling, it was no surprise when Marq eventually struck up a friendship with Eddie Van Halen himself — stories of which he shares with candor and admiration.Torien opens up not just about Eddie, but also his encounters with others like Dave Grohl, members of KISS, and many more.

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

She likes to say that “music found me”.It didn't take long after her arrival to be called up to the Cabo Wabo and other popular hot spots and trendy bars. Her band pushed me to challenging rock songs, such as; Metallica, Iron Maiden, Journey, Van Halen, Toto, Queen, you name it! The biggest voices in Rock history.She was called up on stage by Sammy Hagar, the “Red Rocker” sharing the stage with him on about 3 occasions. And of course thanks to him taking her under his wing her career had a major boost.In 2019 she did a 6 month contract on Celebrity Cruises. That gave her the opportunity to travel the world. In 2023 she attended the NAMM in LA.

Tony recounts what it was like rubbing elbows with David Lee Roth of Van Halen at Club Med Paradise Island in 1982, as well as the fierce Olympic Day rivalries with a future Chief of Village at St. Lucia in 1992. Tony also reveals the origin story of the iconic “Super G.O.” t-shirt that he created and talks about the unofficial "Youth Hostel" he ran out of his place in Miami, offering a crash pad for any G.O. passing through town.

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.

The Five-Phase Journey to Becoming a Confident Guitarist

Send Steve a Text MessageWhat really holds most guitar players back? After teaching thousands of guitarists, I've discovered it's rarely about technical ability—it's about confidence. That feeling of certainty when you play, knowing who you are as a musician, and being comfortable in your own skin.The journey to guitar confidence follows five distinct phases, each building upon the last. It begins with curiosity—that moment when you hear Hendrix, Van Halen, or whoever your inspiration might be, and think "I want to do that!" This natural motivation fuels your early development. Next comes foundation building, where you develop the essential skills needed for your musical goals. This is where many players get distracted by "bright shiny objects" instead of focusing on the fundamentals that will truly advance their playing.The third phase—developing actual confidence—is where most guitarists get stuck. It requires something scary: being vulnerable enough to play for others and receive feedback. "I'll play with people once I'm better" becomes a perpetual excuse, creating a cycle where improvement stalls because you're not getting the feedback needed to grow. Breaking through this barrier transforms your playing.Once confidence develops, you enter the creative expression phase, where your playing begins to sound more human and personal. This naturally evolves into the final phase—musical identity. The liberating truth is that even guitar legends have limitations. Tommy Emanuel doesn't play like Eddie Van Halen, and Joe Bonamassa doesn't sound like Steve Vai. These players succeeded not by mastering everything, but by embracing who they are musically.The guitar truly is Pandora's box—endless possibilities that will outlive us all. Don't let that overwhelm you. Finding your center and developing confidence in your unique voice is the real path to becoming the guitarist you want to be. Where are you in these five phases, and what's your next step toward confident playing?

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”.

Youtube FacebookImaginepeakstudios.comMatthewhartleymusic.comBio Born into and immersed in music, Matthew Hartley, Charleston-based Christian Rocksongwriter, embodies the importance of valuing your journey. His own life runs parallelto his creative process, and while he may be curious about the outcome, he's notconcerned by it.Rather, he's ignited by the lessons, growth, and opportunities that come from honoringyour process and pursuing your passions regardless of your circumstances.As young as 8 years old, Matthew recalls always having a notebook by his side to writedown lyrics anytime they channeled through. He grew up in the era of vinyl records andcassette tapes, jamming to hair bands like Poison, Whitesnake, Van Halen, and BonJovi. He was enamored by the power of rock and listened for sheer enjoyment.Influenced by the genre's raw energy at a young age, we timelapse to Matthew as anadult, where his life experiences led him to rediscover a faith he had always carriedwithin him. While the emotional conviction of rock shaped his guitar playing andsongwriting style, it was his life's journey that naturally integrated Christian themes intohis music.He shares an example of when he wrote his first Christian rock song in 2001 called“Rise Above," which marked a reckoning with his own sins, and an acknowledgmentthat things had to change. However, while he was growing in character, he recalls that itwasn't until later in life that he embraced the true blessing of faith when faced withanother hardship.He elaborates on a time he went through a debilitating divorce, and as he navigated thepainful disentanglement from the complexities of family separation, he found himself athis lowest point. And in that moment of exhaustion and total breakdown, the lyrics:When your heart is bawling,You know that Heaven's calling …out your nameRepresent a pivotal point in his story. In his newest single, “Heaven's Calling,” Matthewshares that when you're at your most vulnerable it's exactly when God speaks theloudest. Heaven is calling your name to show you there is hope and love even in thedarkness.“God is working on you and he will get you through it. You have to have faith throughthe storm,” he states encouragingly.Another theme in “Heaven's Calling,” that Matthew unravels is the humanity that birthsfrom devastation. In the May 18th premier of the “Heaven's Calling” music video, thereare images of hurricane damage, flooding, and rescue missions from the disaster.Hitting close to home, literally and figuratively, Matthew shares that after the destructionof Hurricane Helene in 2024, he witnessed firsthand the valor of those rescuing, theheart of those helping, and the resilience of those who survive a natural disaster.“Love is powerful; the best of people through devastation is remarkable,” he says.“And for those, Heaven's calling [too].”In conjunction with the hurricane footage and rescue scenes, other parts of the musicvideo feature Matthew performing on rooftops around downtown Charleston withdifferent historic backdrops like St. Michael's Church, Cannon Park, and the CharlestonCity Market.After building a storyboard and scouring the city for permits and approvals to shootdifferent church features and historic sites, Matthew and his team creatively, andthoughtfully sewed all the pieces together. Part of obtaining those permits involvedsubmitting the song's lyrics, and it was serendipitous, almost as if the city was equallyonboard about spreading his message. With the success of it all, he was able to literallysing from the rooftops that “Heaven's calling out… your name.”While reflecting on the development of the project, which he shares was his favoriteaspect of it all, he emphasized the gratification of creating something from nothing.“To do that is such a blessing. It's a process of creation, and you have to be flexible andfluid and enjoy the ride. It's not about the money or the outcome - it's about the journey”he says.He also humbly noted that he couldn't do it alone. He knew that bringing his vision tofruition required collaboration and the culmination of many parts from key producers andsession musicians, to cinematographers and municipalities.Pulling back the curtain even more, Matthew began writing the song at the beginning of2025, and with his melody, lyrics, and chord structure in place, he set out to find high-quality professionals to level up his creation.He gives a shout-out to David Kershenbaum, renowned producer for Tracy Chapmanand Duran Duran, who livened Matthew's vocals and musicality. Excited by the result,Matthew shares that “Heaven's Calling,” will be the first single in an upcoming EP.What's more, Matthew shares that a goal of this is that after learning from hisexperiences, he wants to share and impart lessons and resources to other musiciansembarking on creative endeavors through his production and publishing company,Imagine Peak Studios. When asked what words of advice he'd like to leave for readers and listeners alike, he reminds us: “Do not let your circumstances dictate your journey. Age or time is irrelevant, and if you have a passion for something just do it. Praise God. Love your family and neighbors. And, live your life.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Along with playing a set for some very lucky WMMR listeners, Wolfgang Van Halen sat down for a conversation with Pierre Robert in between songs, recorded in front of a live audience full of fans. The pair discussed Mammoth's latest single "The End," including the wicked music video directed by one of Wolf's favorite directors, Robert Rodriguez. They also talked about the legendary 5150 and how Wolf incorporates vintage Van Halen gear into this new music. When Pierre brought up Mammoth's very first single, "Distance," and moving through grief with music, you'll hear the impactful moment that brought the room to a standstill; anyone who's lost a loved one will be able to relate. Wolf is always honest about how the loss of his father, Eddie Van Halen, has affected him, but he's also hopeful and the future is bright for the band. He's preparing for the Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne tribute in Birmingham, touring with Creed this summer, and putting out more new music.

In 1985, David Lee Roth was out and Sammy Hagar was in. One of the biggest lead singer shakeups in music history led to some of the biggest sales of Van Halen's career. It also led to more drama, to Lamborghinis and Ferraris racing through the streets of Los Angeles, to military assault vehicles storming Beverly Hills, to crazed fans and loaded guns – and at the middle of it all, a modern-day warrior, a man with a code, trying to orchestrate his own survival.

On the backs of one of rock ‘n roll's greatest innovators and one of its greatest ringmasters, Van Halen made some of the greatest music of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen chased the perfect sound while lead singer David Lee Roth chased the next party. They were also ruthless when it came to protecting the unique thing they had created. Nothing was allowed to stand in their way. Not bullies, bootleggers, cynical guitar manufacturers, record producers – even the members of Van Halen themselves.
