Eruption : conversations with Eddie Van Halen

Van Halen, Eddie, 1955-20202022
Book
When rock legend Eddie Van Halen died of cancer on October 6, 2020, the entire world seemed to stop and grieve the devastating blow to the music world. Since 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 heavy metal and rock music, but to performers across all genres and around the world. Van Halen's debut sounded unlike anything listeners had heard before, largely due to Eddie's mastery of guitar. Over the course of more than four decades, Eddie gained renown for his innovative guitar playing, and particularly for popularising the tapping guitar solo technique. In this book, music journalists Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill share with fans a new look at this music legend via this groundbreaking oral history, composed of more than 50+ hours of unreleased interviews that they'd recorded with Eddie over the years.
