Everybody Wants Some - The Van Halen Saga

A history of one of the all-time great rock bands - Van Halen

Authors:
Ian Christe

Description:
This is the first definitive biography of the ultimate American rock band - now updated with a new chapter. Fresh from their 2007-08 reunion tour playing to sellout crowds and recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Van Halen remains an outrageous force of nature. How did a pair of Dutch boys trained in classical music grow up to become the nucleus of the most popular American hard rock band of all time? Are all those stories about groupies, midgets, and contract riders true?

The naked truth is playfully laid bare in this 'highly recommended' ("Chuck Klosterman", "Esquire") book. Ian Christe (Brooklyn, NY) is the author of "Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal" (978-0-380-81127-4), the 'bible' of heavy metal music and culture. He has written about music and technology for many publications and appears frequently on VH1, VH1-Classic, and MTV2. His "Van Halen" radio show airs weeknights on Sirius Satellite Radio.
