'The game changing guitar legend gets the biography he deserves ...
Diligently researched, perceptive and well-written.' 8/10, Classic
Rock 'An affectionate and unflinching portrait of metal guitar's
Mount Everest.' Mojo Arriving in California as a young boy in the
early 1960s, Edward Van Halen and his brother Alex were ripe for
the coming musical revolution. The sons of a Dutch,
saxophone-playing father, the brothers discovered the Beatles,
Cream and others. From the moment their hugely influential 1978
debut landed, Van Halen set a high bar for the rock 'n' roll
lifestyle, creating an entirely new style of post-'60s hard rock
and becoming the quintessential Californian band of the 1980s. But
there was also an undercurrent of tragedy to their story, as
Eddie's struggles played out in public, from his difficult
relationship with the band's original singer, Dave Lee Roth, to
substance abuse, divorce and his long-running battle with cancer.
With unique insights, Paul Brannigan's Eruption reaches beyond the
headlines to explore the cultural and social contexts that shaped
this iconic guitarist, while also turning up the dial on a life
lived at volume eleven.
