I’m really looking forward to the break down of “A Different Kind of Truth.” I think that John Shanks figured out a way to put three gigantic titans of sound in the mix and still able to distinguish each. Alex’s snare, Eddie’s righteous guitar, and Wolf’s King Kong bass sound. I also love that the overall volume of the mix is LOUD. Unlike OU812, which I can never get loud enough with headphones. Even though I missed Michael Anthony, I was highly impressed with Wolfgangs bass playing. He definitely inherited the VH swing and swagger. The stuttered bass line on She’s the Woman he executed flawlessly. My only small complaint regarding Eddie is the overuse of the wah pedal, but that’s just me. I love to get Eddie’s notes as unfiltered as possible. His tone was heavy and I loved everything about his playing, but nothing will ever top the sound he got on “Fair Warning” and “Balance” 

I can’t wait to hear Dweezil and John discuss this one. I’m also very curious to hear the VH 3 record thoughts!

You don't really believe Wolfgang played a single note on that record, do you?

I’m wondering when to expect the next episode, does anyone know? Thanks.

I’m sure someone else has posted this here before, but I know I hadn’t seen this footage until very recently. I’m sure Dweezil will not soon forget all of this!

Ive been hoping to hear if Dweezil may have an inside story on why Eddie called his use of effects (particularly when recording) “Jape.” I remember hearing Eddie using this term years ago about effects. One of Eddies cool made up words. Dweezil if you happen to know anything about the origins of Eddie and “jape” I’d love to hear it! Thanks.

How funny! I TOTALLY remember when he used that term ( it was used in the July 88 Guitar World Magazine interview about the making of OU812 ). Never knew what effect he used that term for ( I always presumed it was for an earlier Eventide model ). 

Allen G.

“Jape” was a general term he used for any effects on the dry “guitar-to-amp” tone. He did specifically refer to the Eventide detune chorus sound and echo as being among these, but really it was a “catch-all” term. He used that term to differentiate the “effects” from the meat of his sound which was of course his fingers, the guitar and the amp.

Best Christmas gift for me was seeing a new RWTD episode!! Since then, I've had that episode on repeat mode.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the episode I've DREAMED of. Since I'm more of a techy nerd guitar guy, I TOTALLY enjoyed this episode. Even though Edward was my primary influence for picking up the guitar, Satch is my main inspiration for all things music/legato/amp sounds/ to his interviews on his own albums.

Dweezil, I can't thank you enough for this episode. I've had the honor of having one lesson ( and a few meet/greets ) with Joe and I've always enjoyed his perspectives. The F.U.C.K. album was the disc that inspired me to work more on my own sound and the music on that album really jump started my own musical adventures. I cannot wait for part two. You have done stellar work here. Thank you again! 

 

Best wishes and happy new year!
