Eddie Van Halen Dissects His Playing on “Women and Children First”

If you haven't already heard them, I invite you to listen to Tapes 1 through 5 of my day-long 1980 interview Eddie Van Halen. In this final installment posted here, Eddie Van Halen pops in a cassette of Van Halen's as-yet-unreleased "Women and Children First" album. He cues up and dissects his favorite guitar parts and sonic innovations. I hope you enjoy this unique recording! A special thanks to engineer/producer Nik Hunt for enhancing the sound of the 44-year-old master tape.
