Talking Guitars: Josh Freese OUT of Foo Fighters? EVH Auction Guitar, TEASE Guitar Unboxing! 5/16/25

🔥 This Week on Talking Guitars 🔥 We hit the ground running with BREAKING NEWS — Josh Freese is officially OUT of the Foo Fighters! We unpacked the shocker, shared our hot takes, and speculated on what’s next for the legendary band. That led to an epic convo about Nirvana, the Seattle scene, and the ripple effects of grunge. Then things got wild as we dove into the latest from Julien’s Auctions and their insane Music Icons event. Highlights included a Kurt Cobain acoustic guitar used in a rare radio session — a true grail for collectors. And yes… we actually looked at a beer bottle that Elvis Presley drank from in the ’70s. You can’t make this stuff up. But the crown jewel? A stage-played and signed Eddie Van Halen Charvel Art Series guitar — black with red and white stripes. The ultimate piece of EVH history. 🎸 In the gear spotlight, I showed off a couple of my prized Telecasters and talked about some future mod projects in the works! We also talked about the custom Kramer Beretta Special Ron is working on for CC — two epic builds coming together! 🎁 Then came the BIG UNBOXING… Something mysterious, something wild — you’ll have to see it to believe it. ⸻ 💥 UNBOXING TEASE: Is it vintage?
