Has anyone been able to save this audio clip? Apparently you can’t listen to it without setting up an account on Spotify :-?

Love you Al and everything VH but if the book finishes in 1984 and he doesn’t acknowledge the Sammy and Cherone eras it’s not telling the complete story of Ed’s life..

As Al has said

“We had a toothache, we had it replaced with a Gold Crown”

“This is the Real Van Halen like real whipped cream “

Al 1986…


EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.

JasonA: I just noticed there is supposed to be an audio CD released


It’s available as a set of regular CDs (5 of them), or as a single CD with MP3 audio on it.

Audio sample from Chapter 1: https://dsxuu8etcj8kw.cloudfront.net/i/p/ip11/ip11-sample.mp3
