This one surprised me: "I think that ["Pretty Woman"] and “Dance the Night Away” are the only two songs ever recorded by us that has no guitar solo." Because DTNA not only has a solo, but it's one of my favorites. In fact athough I saw him play an entire show in '78, it wasn't until I saw his solo in the DTNA concert video on TV in '79 that I fully understood how special his finger-tapping technique was ... not just musically, but it also looked so cool. (Footnote: "Happy Trails" had no guitar solo!)
"That was my regular old faithful, red-striped, garbage Strat." I like the honest, impromptu sound of GarbageStrat rather than the more-contrived sound of FrankenStrat! 😀
A treasure to hear the full interview and EVH's thoughts. Diver Down is an underrated gem of music I will always play loud✌️🧡 #evh4evr
