Episode 59: Understanding Eddie Van Halen - Interview with Steven Rosen


In the newest episode we have the absolute pleasure of chatting with and interviewing Steven Rosen - a renowned rock journalist who has finally released his long-awaited book about the friendship he shared with the late great guitar player Edward Van Halen.


Steve has previously authored seven other books including biographies on Jeff Beck, Free/Bad Company, Black Sabbath and Randy Rhoads, and writes about what it was like being friends with one of the most iconic guitar players in the world - with whom he shared many hours at his Hollywood home, his 5150 studio, on aeroplanes, in cars - and even jamming on several occasions with Van Halen!


Steve was authorised to write Edward’s biography back in 1985 but due to several delays by Eddie, followed by his illness and then a disagreement with Rosen, the book never came to light. In order to tell the story accurately, Steven pored over hours of interviews and peered deep inside distant memories to create a book unlike any other out there.


Laz & Felipe are delighted to have Steven on the show and to talk about all things Eddie Van Halen!


‘Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen’ by Steve Rosen is out now and available for purchase here: TONECHASER BOOK ([ Ссылка ])  (tonechaserbook.com)- a must have for any Van Halen, Guitar or Rock fan this Christmas!
