    Straturday Night LIVE! 🎸 Home Studio Apps, OBSBot Mystery & Songwriting w/ Gemini! 2/21/26
    Feb 21 2026
    We kick things off diving into home studio recording—talking apps, simple setups, and the tools I actually use to capture ideas fast. I show off a couple of my go-to recording apps and how they fit into my workflow. Then… the mystery continues. 🤔 Ron says he sent an OBSBot webcam… but did I ever unbox it?! I have ZERO memory of this. Peggy is officially on the case, digging through year-old videos to uncover the truth. Did it happen? Did we miss it? The investigation is ON. From there, we hit your viewer guitar questions, talking gear, tone, and setups—then Gemini jumps in and starts fielding questions right alongside us. And it gets even crazier… Gemini and I start writing a song LIVE. I grab the acoustic, we pull lyrics straight from the chat, and build songs on the spot. Are they masterpieces? Are they terrible? You decide. 😂🎶 It’s creative chaos, guitar talk, tech talk, and total Straturday Night vibes. 🎸🔥 Welcome to STRATURDAY NIGHT — Your Saturday Night Guitar Destination! Riffs, mods, tone & mayhem every week — live guitar builds, screaming demos, wild stories, and nonstop laughs.

  • Talking Guitars LIVE! 🎸 Strap Locks, Humbucker Wiring Madness & Shatner’s Metal Album?! 2/20/26🔥

    Talking Guitars LIVE! 🎸 Strap Locks, Humbucker Wiring Madness & Shatner’s Metal Album?! 2/20/26🔥
    Feb 20 2026
    On this episode, we’re diving deep into the world of strap locks and serious guitar wiring madness! 🎸🔥 First up — strap locks! We’re talking about the classics and the ones we actually use, from Schaller to Fender Strap Blocks and Ernie Ball options. Which ones hold up onstage? Which ones have survived years of gigs? And which ones are we rocking right now? (Yes, I’ve personally been using the Fender Strap Blocks — affiliate link below if you want to grab a pack!) http://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNJ7yd Then we go full guitar-nerd mode 🤓 and explore ALL the different ways to wire two humbuckers in a dual-humbucker guitar. We’re talking coil splits, parallel wiring, inner/outer coils, series/parallel splits, out-of-phase, in-phase, parallel humbuckers — you name it. If you love modding guitars, this is your playground. And wait until you see the switch we discovered — the Free way Ultra Switch. A customizer’s dream with 28 terminals designed for insanely sophisticated wiring circuits… and it fits a Les Paul cavity without routing. That’s next-level mod territory. Affiliate link below if available! https://amzn.to/3OkeVXQ Then things get wild… 🚀 We read a story about William Shatner teaming up with 35 metal icons for a brand-new album. Yes — that William Shatner. There’s even debate swirling around a photo of him holding what appears to be an AI-generated Les Paul. And here’s the kicker: Zakk Wylde personally gifted the Star Trek legend a guitar, sparking the inspiration for the project. Strap locks, wiring wizardry, metal mayhem, and sci-fi legends — this episode has it all. Which strap locks do YOU use?

  • Exclusively Van Halen: Alex Confirms New Album from Unreleased Eddie Music – Details! 2/18/26

    Exclusively Van Halen: Alex Confirms New Album from Unreleased Eddie Music – Details! 2/18/26
    Feb 18 2026
    On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive into HUGE news: Alex Van Halen has officially confirmed that work is underway on a brand-new album built from unheard Eddie Van Halen material—for the first time ever. Alex revealed in a recent interview that he’s been teaming up with Steve Lukather to help bring these recordings to life. These aren’t scraps or demos either—this is music that was intended to become the next Van Halen album before Eddie’s passing. The foundation is already there, with drums, guitars, and bass recorded—bass handled by Wolfgang Van Halen. But don’t expect a quick release. Alex says nothing will come out unless it meets the same high standard the band always demanded. They’re carefully shaping the material into something worthy of the Van Halen legacy—no unfinished sketches, only top-tier music. The big missing piece? A vocalist. Paul Rodgers was considered but declined due to health and touring. Alex says he and Lukather are searching for the right voice—someone from the same musical era who understands the spirit of the band. He even mentioned Robert Plant as a dream fit, though nothing is set in stone. Notably, past Van Halen singers David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, and Gary Cherone were not discussed. Alex’s goal? To finish what they started and deliver something powerful, emotional, and worthy of the band’s history. If this project comes together, it could be one of the most important rock releases in years. #VanHalen #EddieVanHalen #AlexVanHalen #JohnnyBeaneTV #ExclusivelyVanHalen

  • Talking Guitars: Randy Rhoads vs Eddie Van Halen? The Real Story Behind the Guitar Rivalry! 2/17/26

    Talking Guitars: Randy Rhoads vs Eddie Van Halen? The Real Story Behind the Guitar Rivalry! 2/17/26
    Feb 17 2026
    On this episode of Talking Guitars, we dive into a wild rock-history moment: “Randy was trying to get backstage to meet him, but Eddie was bouncing off the walls in his underwear!” That unforgettable story comes from Kelly Garni, who sets the record straight on the supposed rivalry between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen—and the truth might surprise you. For years, fans and guitar magazines framed Rhoads and Eddie as head-to-head rivals: two young, groundbreaking players redefining rock guitar in the late ’70s and early ’80s. It made for irresistible headlines—just like the media-fueled tension between Metallica and Megadeth—but according to Garni, the so-called feud between Randy and Eddie was mostly fiction. Back when Van Halen was lighting up the Hollywood club scene and “Eruption” was blowing minds nightly, Rhoads was still shredding with Quiet Riot. The bands played the same circuit—Starwood one night, Gazzarri's the next—sparking rumors of a guitar war that fans couldn’t get enough of. Then Randy joined Ozzy Osbourne and helped launch Ozzy’s solo career into the stratosphere, and the “rivalry” narrative exploded. But Garni insists Randy had zero interest in competing. He respected Eddie’s genius—he just wasn’t wired to think in terms of beating anyone. The result? Not a bitter feud, but two legendary innovators pushing guitar into the future at the exact same time—each changing rock forever in their own way. 🎸 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!

  • Exclusively Van Halen: 3 Era-Defining Van Halen Songs That Rocked the ’80s! 2/16/26

    Exclusively Van Halen: 3 Era-Defining Van Halen Songs That Rocked the ’80s! 2/16/26
    Feb 16 2026
    On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive into an article spotlighting three Van Halen songs that helped define—and dominate—the 1980s. From Eddie Van Halen’s mind-blowing guitar wizardry to the band’s explosive mix of hard rock and pop hooks, there’s no question Van Halen had the entire decade in a headlock. Whether you lived through the ’80s or discovered them later and became obsessed, these are essential tracks every fan needs to know. First up, “Hot for Teacher.” It may have only reached No. 56 on the Billboard charts, but its music video became an instant ’80s classic. Featuring a cast that included Yano Anaya (the bully from A Christmas Story) and a Miss Canada runner-up, the video followed younger versions of the band and a nerdy kid named Waldo through a wild fantasy high school—bikini-clad teachers and all. Controversial? Sure. Iconic? Absolutely. Between the over-the-top visuals, cheeky lyrics, and Eddie’s blazing guitar work, it’s pure Van Halen magic. Then there’s “Unchained,” a powerhouse track from the 1981 album Fair Warning. With its swagger, attitude, and unforgettable riff, it stands as one of the band’s heaviest and coolest moments. Eddie’s use of the MXR M-117 flanger helped give the song its unmistakable sound, while producer Ted Templeman later called it the perfect example of Van Halen being “a heavy metal band with a sense of humor.” Raw, loud, and unforgettable. And of course, you can’t talk about songs that took the ’80s by storm without “Jump.” Van Halen’s biggest hit ever broke new ground with its synth-driven sound and uplifting energy. Set in the bright key of C major, it felt like nothing the band had done before—yet it still delivered that unmistakable Van Halen punch. Eddie’s one-take guitar solo seals the deal, soaring right alongside those legendary keyboards that hook you from the very first note. Three songs. One band. Total ’80s takeover.

    Exclusively Van Halen: #VanHalen 1985 Showdown: How Sammy Hagar Saved the Band. 2/12/26
    Feb 12 2026
    On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into one of the most intense turning points in rock history—when Van Halen lost David Lee Roth and nearly tore themselves apart in the studio. “He locked himself in the studio and threatened to burn the tapes…”—a dramatic stand-off that symbolized the chaos inside the band. But with the arrival of Sammy Hagar and help from Mick Jones of Foreigner, Van Halen regrouped, reloaded, and proved the April Fool’s Day announcement was no joke. We break down how the band rebounded from losing a superstar frontman and came back stronger—ultimately winning the “war” and launching a new era that took them straight to the top of the charts.
