Badass ...

[Diamondjimi]

I stand corrected. The interviewer is Jas Obrecht from Guitar PLAYER magazine. He was one of the first dudes to interview Ed when VH broke in '78.

Great revealing interview.

[jonnypop]

This is AWESOME. THANKS

2:10 on the third one...

"Dave said no more guitar solos" "We're a band...fuck this guitar hero shit"

Didn't know this happened...Shit. sounds like it's the truth.

He's talking about how he showed Ted Cathedral and put it on Diver Down anyways

[Eyes of the Night]

It was unreal hearing Ed talk about how he cheated in making his albums by putting intro's and outro's n' shit just to make the album "not boring" ...

It's fucking hillarious when dude said about cathedral, "yeah it reminds me of an old catholic church", in reply Ed's all "yeah, that's why it's called cathedral!" ... lmfao! ...

[Romeo Delight]

Ed's playing a future #2 song in Jump to some writer over the phone, bored out of his mind in a hotel room in #6.

That was pretty cool actually. Sounds like Jump was about 30 minutes long, lol

Actually the 1984 track (called 1984) was originally over 30 mintues long and Valerie had a title for it.

[Eyes of the Night]

Ed keeps dropping the fucking phone! Lmfao ...

Fuck that guitar hero bullshit! Lmfao ...

The notes at the beginning of #6 actually sound like Vai's riff from "Hina", just slower.

[Eyes of the Night]

I didn't know =vh= broke a world record by being the first band to go platnum in each of their first 5 records! ... part 8
