1982 EVH radio interview with Guitar World

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I had never heard this anymore, it's got some really interesting comments from Ed, on the Diver Down album, the Pretty Woman video, Warner Brothers, and some eyebrow raising comments on Randy Rhoads.... It's right after Diver Down was released....

Sorry if this is very old news, it's new to me....

The more I think about it, the more I agree with Dave's assessment that Ed seemingly has never enjoyed two minutes of his success.

He always had something to bitch about, even back in the day.

[Nitro Express]

Ed sounds more sober than Jas Obrect who's interviewing him. He sounds like he was smoking weed on the phone.

[indeedido]

that pot head from guitar world doesn't even sound like he's paying attention

[Romeo Delight]

Pretty damn cool to heat the seeds of Jump.

Think of it though,Ed playing that to someone he knew was lkely recording the conversation.

I like the part about the studio costing $150 bucks an hour. 46k to make Diver Down, like it should matter at all.

Give Ed his due though, no matter what you think of Diver Down, it is a great album, with a flow in large part to Secrets, Spanish Fly.

Can't say that Ed would make that part up about Dave not wanting guitar solos, even after all that has happened and been said.

Dave used to have one of those AIWA walkmans that you could record off the radio onto a caset tape. I had one and it was $280 when I bought it in the early 80's. Built like a Swiss watch and the thing had great reception. Dave use to walk around listening to AM stations and would pick up this station in Louisville, Kentucky and if he liked the song he would hit record and play it for the other guys in the band. This is where Big Bad Bill and some of those other songs came from.

[ELVIS]

I still have one...
