As a 12-year-old, Dweezil fell in love with Edward Van Halen’s guitar playing.
Then, one random night, Edward called to speak to his famous father, Frank Zappa.
20 Minutes later, a 27-year-old Edward Van Halen showed up at his door with a guitar and looking like he just walked off the cover of Van Halen’s Women and Children First album – jumpsuit, Van Halen necklace, and all!
The young Dweezil was so excited, he immediately started asking Ed to play his famous solos for him.
This night would turn into a lifetime of experiences and a close friendship with Edward.
Dweezil Zappa joins Jeff Goebel for an excellent discussion about Edward Van Halen’s musical genius.
