The manager who shepherded Van Halen from obscurity to rock stardom
goes behind the scenes to tell the complete, unadulterated story of
David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, and the legendary band that
changed rock music. Van Halen's rise in the 1980s was one of the
most thrilling the music world had ever seen-their mythos an epic
party, a sweaty, sexy, never-ending rock extravaganza. During this
unparalleled run of success, debauchery, and drama, no one was
closer to the band than Noel Monk. A man who'd worked with some of
rock's biggest and most notorious names, Monk spent seven years
with Van Halen, serving first as their tour manger then as their
personal manager until 1985, when both he and David Lee Roth exited
as controversy, backstabbing, and disappointment consumed the band.
Throughout Van Halen's meteoric rise and abrupt halt, this
confidant, fixer, friend, and promoter saw it all and lived to
tell. Now, for the first time, he shares the most outrageous
escapades-from their coming of age to their most shocking behavior
on the road; from Eddie's courtship and high profile wedding to
Valerie Bertinelli to the incredible drug use which would
ultimately lead to everyone's demise. Sharing never-before-told
stories, Monk paints a compelling portrait of Eddie Van Halen,
bringing into focus the unique combination of talent, vision,
hardship, and naivete that shaped one of the greatest rock
guitarists of all time-and made him and his brother vulnerable to
the trappings and failings of fame. Illustrated with dozens of rare
photographs from Monk's vaults, Runnin' with the Devil is manna
from rock heaven no Van Halen fan can miss.
