Apparently this was released in Japan today…

Thanks for the heads up! August ’24 issue.

[via google translate]

The August issue features a special feature on Van Halen’s 1991 masterpiece 9th album “FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE (F＠U＃C%K)”! The luxurious 5-disc “Expanded Edition” of this work will be released on July 24th, and to get closer to its appeal, we have an exclusive interview with the singer at the time, Sammy Hagar! In addition, Joe Satriani, who will be the guitarist on the “The Best of All Worlds 2024″ tour where Sammy will perform Van Halen songs, also talks a lot about Eddie’s charm! In addition, we have a special reprint of Eddie’s interview with this magazine conducted around the time of the release of “F＠U＃C%K”. The article on how to play the album will be thoroughly analyzed with a large number of photos of Eddie’s hands that we interviewed at the time. The score is the popular number of “Poundcake”, “Judgement Day”, and “Right Now”, and there is plenty of playing!

In addition, there is a feature focusing on Soldano, the amp brand that formed the basis of Eddie’s guitar tone in the 1990s, known as the “new Brown sound.” In a video-linked project on special techniques inspired by Eddie’s drill playing, guitarist Kuboty challenges the possibilities of new sounds using a handheld fan, a mini 4WD, and other tools.

Other features include the latest live equipment used by MR.BIG, who will be releasing their final album “TEN”, Tak Matsumoto, and Hiroshi Shibasaki of WANDS, as well as live reports by Enka singer Joe Yamamoto, who will be releasing a new metal song, NEMOPHILA, and SAKI. On the equipment side, we will take a closer look at a special feature exploring the true value of the “Profiler Player” released this year by Kemper, with footage of Leda.

The packed August issue of Young Guitar will go on sale on Wednesday, July 10th.
