Episode 40: 'Fair Warning' with Will Wallner

'My Classic Album' crashes into the 1980's as we look back at the
most underrated jewel in the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen:
1981's 'Fair Warning'.


Guitarist Will Wallner joins Mike to discuss an album that took
Van Halen away from the carefree vibes of their early work
towards a darker, heavier and at times more sinister sound. A
conversation recorded three months to the day since Eddie Van
Halen's passing, 'Fair Warning' stands as a testament to the
legendary guitarist's creativity and sheer vision.


 


Did tensions within the band contribute to the sound we hear on
'Fair Warning'? 


How did David Lee Roth come up with the iconic breakdown in
'Unchained'?


How did Eddie come up with the iconic introduction to album
opener 'Mean Street'?


 


PLUS: Hear 'Back On The Strip': a world exclusive from Will's
band Vain Wallner.


 


Hit the ground running with another episode of 'My Classic
Album'.
