MGS 2019: SIMON HOSFORD on playing Van Halen's 1 live

Ahead of Fair Warning’s much anticipated performance of Van Halen's debut album at the Melbourne Guitar Show on August 3, Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips sat down with ace guitarist Simon Hosford to dissect the album.
It’s the album which introduced us to Eddie Van Halen’s stunning finger-tapping guitar gymnastics. The same album which gave us Diamond David Lee Roth, one of rock’s greatest frontmen. It was Van Halen’s debut album, featuring so many great songs and so many classic guitar riffs. It was released back in 1978, after Kiss’ Gene Simmons had financed the band to make some demo recordings. ‘Van Halen’ was eventually recorded in the studio as a live album, in just one take with all members playing together in the studio. Michael Anthony once recalled how the band didn’t have many songs so they just recorded the songs from their live show in the studio. It has gone on to sell over 10 million copies. At this year’s Melbourne Guitar Show you’ll be able to hear each track played live back to back by some of Australis’ most respected musicians. Simon Hosford’s Fair Warning will play the entire VanHalen debut album live on stage at 4pm on Saturday August 3 at Caulfield Racecourse in the Whammy Bar. https://australianmusician.com.au/melbourne-guitar-show/tickets/
