“Mean Street” Intro:
In the interview below, Sherinian talks about his covers of “Mean Street” and “Spanish Fly.” And about performing at Eddie’s 2006 house party, jamming with Eddie and getting a personal tour of 5150 Studios by the King himself. The thrill ride for Derek continued with Eddie showing Derek VHS tapes of Eddie and Wolf rehearsing for the upcoming reunion tour (the 2007-2008 tour) with David Lee Roth.
