Plus, we talk about Wolfgang Van Halen opening up to Kylie Olsson about creating the new Mammoth album The End, the pressure of carrying so much creative responsibility himself, and building Mammoth completely on his own terms while pushing the band forward on tour. #VanHalen #DavidLeeRoth #WolfgangVanHalen #JohnnyBeaneTV

🎸 On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we read and break down Jason Newsted’s powerful vision for the ultimate Eddie Van Halen tribute concert — and why it STILL hasn’t happened. 🤯 Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted reveals he was personally contacted by Alex Van Halen back in 2021 about plans for a tribute show honoring Eddie. But according to Joe Satriani, the project ultimately “fell apart,” and now Newsted is sharing exactly how he believes a proper tribute should be done. Newsted says an Eddie Van Halen celebration can’t just be another rock concert — it has to be a true honor event. He even throws out an incredible idea: “Have Nuno Bettencourt and Tom Morello line up a bunch of bad motherf**kers” to perform Eddie’s legendary songs in a massive all-star tribute. 🔥 But Jason also raises a major question: Should the event honor Eddie alone… or celebrate ALL of Van Halen? On Johnny Beane TV, we read through the full story, react to the biggest moments, and discuss whether a true Van Halen tribute concert could still happen someday. 🎸 #VanHalen #EddieVanHalen #JohnnyBeaneTV #ExclusivelyVanHalen

🎸 On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into Alex Van Halen’s shocking new comments about Michael Anthony and Van Halen’s reunion with David Lee Roth! 🤯 Alex says the band DID reach out to Michael Anthony before the 2007 reunion, claiming “we owed him that” because of his importance to Van Halen. But when no response came, Wolfgang Van Halen stepped in — and according to Alex, it had nothing to do with family ties and everything to do with talent. We also talk about Wolfgang carving his own path with Mammoth, unreleased Van Halen music with Steve Lukather, and what the future could hold for the Van Halen legacy! 🔥🤘 #VanHalen #AlexVanHalen #WolfgangVanHalen #DavidLeeRoth

On this episode of Talking Guitars, we remember legendary producer Jack Douglas, who has passed away at the age of 80. Throughout his incredible career, Douglas worked with some of rock’s biggest names, including Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, John Lennon, Blue Öyster Cult, Patti Smith, and the New York Dolls. Born in the Bronx, New York, Douglas started out as a folk musician before attending the Institute of Audio Research and landing a job at the legendary Record Plant — first as a janitor, then quickly rising to become one of rock’s most respected engineers and producers. Along the way, he contributed to classic recordings by The Who, Miles Davis, Alice Cooper, and many more. Douglas is perhaps best known for producing Aerosmith’s classic albums Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks, Draw the Line, Rock in a Hard Place, Honkin’ on Bobo, and Music from Another Dimension! He also engineered and co-produced landmark albums including John Lennon’s Imagine, Double Fantasy, and Milk and Honey, while contributing to legendary records like The Who’s Who’s Next and Cheap Trick’s self-titled debut album. His close relationship with Aerosmith even earned him the nickname “the sixth member” of the band, and his influence on rock music can still be heard today. Join us as we look back at the life, music, and legacy of one of rock’s most influential producers. 🎸 🎚️ Legendary producer and engineer Jack Douglas worked on some of rock’s most iconic albums throughout his career.

Guitar Center just revealed the most-played guitar riffs customers constantly jam when trying out gear—and it’s probably exactly what you’d expect… with a few surprises. Based on feedback from stores across the country, riffs like Metallica’s “Master of Puppets,” Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and Nirvana classics dominate the list, getting played over and over all day long. Stairway to Heaven—long considered the ultimate “forbidden” guitar shop riff—isn’t even in the top spot (or the list at all), showing how player trends have shifted. The big takeaway? These riffs are everywhere in stores—and according to Guitar Center’s CEO, they’re “often not played well”… but when someone nails them, it really stands out. 🎸 TALKING GUITARS: Music & Guitar News LIVE! 🤘 Join us LIVE for another epic Guitar LIVE Stream — we’re talking guitars, gear, tone & mods, plus the latest music and guitar news from around the world! 🎶 👇 Tune in LIVE, jump in the chat, and let’s talk guitars!
