Saw one part of this the other day.....
Thanks for saving me the trouble of having to find all 8 parts..

[DlocRoth]

Well done, young man........

I got the transcript of this, but it's nice to hear SpEd speak on it.

[DLR2007]

I'm glad I could help make things a little easier.

[Nitro Express]

Back in the day when Ed and Dave could work together and put an album out in 14 days.

[Hummarstra]

I'm really enjoying this. Thanks alot.

[kamaboko]

I've only listend to the first three segments, but I thought it was revealing how Ed said Dave thought his solo's were a waste of time and to get rid of them. If I were a bettin man, I'd have to say more people would rather hear Ed do a solo than hear Dave blabber, something of which Dave tends to do a lot of.

[Baby's On Fire]

I couldn't care less about Eddie's solos. I'd rather be entertained.

[SRK]

This is one of the most interesting interviews I ever heard Ed do...

Very cool thanks for posting it.

[Hummarstra]

Isn't it fascinating to hear that early demo of "Jump"? Ed had the key changes, the bridge...everything. And to hear how their approach to recording changed on different albums was also cool.

[DLRdelight!]

listened to about 4 parts. fucking great stuff, i havent heard or read this one before. cant dave said that to him but whatever. great stuff

[Redballjets88]

i think Dave was saying he didn't want the ed solo songs, not the solos in songs

[Redballjets88]

hahaha 3:25 in the last part Ed bashes journey for writing ballads and such, and throughout the interview praises Diver Down. Fast forward 4 years after the break up and he is writing ballads and bashing Diver Down. what a dick
