What a great interview. I'm a lifelong VH fan who remembers where he was when Eruption came out. I also have a purple Kramer Pacer circa 1982 (I have to check the serial # for the date). The guy was everything to me guitar wise. The Ice Cream Man stretches, the rhythm playing of I'm the One and Beautiful Girls and of course the soloing. And Fair Warning is my favorite album so can't wait to hear that one as I also remember picking the LP up and having to put the needle back to the beginning after hearing the first 30 seconds of Mean Streets.
And then to hear you've got 4hours with Nuno, who in my mind is the closest thing to an heir apparent to that style of playing. Great stuff and can't wait to hear it.(And if by chance you read this, your solo on Just the Way She is is brilliant)
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast so far. There's a ton of great stuff coming up! EP 2 with Steve Vai premieres tomorrow at noon PST and we go over the entire VH 1 first album song by song. Next week, my guest is Paul Gilbert who does a whole lot of guitar playing on the episode!
Glad you liked the solo on "Just The Way She Is." Best, DZ
The first episode with Vai was amazing! I bought the complete $51.50 package and am curious about the Premier Guitar subscription. I already have an online-only subscription to PG, but definitely want to get my hands on a printed version of the current issue with Ed on the cover. Should I head to the nearest magazine stand, or will this printed copy be included with the package that I bought? Thank you and keep up the great work.
Hi Steven, I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast so far and thanks for jumping in on it! I expect to hear from Premier Guitar today with the details for 5150 bundle owners. You'll receive an email about very soon. Best, DZ
Great interview. The Purple Kramer Pacer you and Steve mentioned. Rockinger Tremolo system. Heard Ed hated it. Picture of Ed on stage was from the Holdsworth show Steve saw.
Yeah. In the "VH Guitar Internet Universe", there never was an official name to it...few I came across... "The Purple Kramer ", " Kramer Multitape", "Kramer Multicolor". . I laughed when you referred to it as Fruity Pebbles. Yeah it it does look like the cereal, LOL. Got the 5150 package and look forward to the other upcoming interviews.
.....and then I find this?! 5150 bundle. Holy dental floss, Batman! I think we all need this right now. Thank you, Dweezil and Co.! All my favorite musicians AND gear talk...wow! Can’t wait to hear more about (I assume) the Circles/Rasta guitar. Keep up all the hard work. #floydandkahlerlivingtogether

Does anyone know if the 1-year subscription to Premier Guitar that comes with the bundle is available world wide? Is it hardcopy or digital? Thanks
Hi Vinicius,
Yes! If you have ordered the 5150 bundle, you will receive an email this week with info about your subscription options.
Best, DZ

I never knew that purple Kramer guitar turned into that fruity pebbles striped guitar.
Never knew it was called the Fruity Pebbles guitar.... It is now. I like it.
That's just how I referred to it.
