Get a completely new look at guitar legend Eddie Van Halen with
this groundbreaking oral history, composed of more than fifty hours
of interviews with Eddie himself as well as his family, friends,
and colleagues.When rock legend Eddie Van Halen died of cancer on
October 6, 2020, the entire world seemed to stop and grieve. Since
his band Van Halen burst onto the scene with their self-titled
debut album in 1978, Eddie had been hailed as an icon not only to
fans of rock music and heavy metal, but to performers across all
genres and around the world. Van Halen's debut sounded unlike
anything that listeners had heard before and remains a
quintessential rock album of the era. Over the course of more than
four decades, Eddie gained renown for his innovative guitar
playing, and particularly for popularizing the tapping guitar solo
technique. Unfortunately for Eddie and his legions of fans, he died
before he was ever able to put his life down to paper in his own
words, and much of his compelling backstory has remained
elusive-until now. In Eruption, music journalists Brad Tolinski and
Chris Gill share with fans, new and old alike, a candid,
compulsively readable, and definitive oral history of the most
influential rock guitarist since Jimi Hendrix. It is based on more
than 50+ hours of unreleased interviews they recorded with Eddie
Van Halen over the years, most of them conducted at the legendary
5150 studios at Ed's home in Los Angeles. The heart of Eruption is
drawn from these intimate and wide-ranging talks, as well as
conversations with family, friends, and colleagues. In addition to
discussing his greatest triumphs as a groundbreaking musician,
including an unprecedented dive into Van Halen's masterpiece 1984,
the book also takes an unflinching look at Edward's early struggles
as young Dutch immigrant unable to speak the English language,
which resulted in lifelong issues with social anxiety and substance
abuse. Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen also examines
his brilliance as an inventor who changed the face of guitar
manufacturing.As entertaining as it is revealing, Eruption is the
closest readers will ever get to hearing Eddie's side of the story
when it comes to his extraordinary life.

This volume makes available Rodrigo's writings to English-speaking
readers throughout the world. The generous selection reveals an
outstanding critical mind, equally illuminating on the main
developments in the history of classical music and its most
important composers, from Bach and Mozart to Verdi and Puccini, as
well as Rodrigo's contemporaries. Rodrigo's writings also cover
many aspects of the culture and music of Spain and the country's
major composers, as well as being an invaluable guide to an
understanding and appreciation of Rodrigo's own works. The
composer's style of writing is extremely varied: by turns incisive,
eloquent, poetic, or delightfully humorous. Given the world-wide
