TONECHASER – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen

Thanks,I buying it right now!!

Unheard Van Halen audio from 1985

New Update From Steve!

One final note for all your Tonechasers who have been so supportive of this book and project over the past couple of years.

I am releasing a collection of Eddie Van Halen-related interviews in what we’re calling “Tonechaser: The Audiobook, Volume 2 – Van Halen’s Voices”.

This is *free* for anyone who purchased the first audiobook—just log back into MySoundwise.com and you’ll see the new addition.

If you buy the first audiobook today ($39.99), you’ll get this new one for free, as well—and if you just want the second audiobook, it’s $14.99.

Included in this set is my six-part interview with Alex Van Halen from back in 1985, as well as a 1983 interview with the #VanHalen drummer, as well.

There’s a multi-part interview with Michael Anthony and a sit-down with David Lee Roth—as well as a slew of individuals who were in or around the band at the time; names very familiar to diehard fans of the band—Zeke Clark, Rudy Leiren, Wayne Charvel, Ken Deane, Lynn Ellsworth, Dan Martin, Terry Gilgore, Jose Arredondo, and Kim Fowley.

Kevan Hill was a boyhood friend of the Van Halen brothers. He played in Broken Combs with Edward and Al and had some great stories about the guys growing up.
Virtually all of these interviews were conducted back in the ‘80s for the official biography on Edward that I was going to write at the time—and I’ve also included interviews with both Sammy Hagar (1986) and Gary Cherone (2010)—so all three Van Halen singers are included.

Pre-orders for the new collection will begin on January 1st and the audiobook itself will be available on January 26th (Edward’s birthday). So head over to TonechaserBook.com tomorrow to place your pre-order or check the link in my bio to go directly to the Tonechaser page on MySoundwise.

Happy New Year, everyone. — Steve
