Drawn from more than than fifty hours of unreleased interviews with family, friends, and those who knew him best, Eruption: Conversations with Eddie Van Halen, gives readers a new look at the late rock guitar god. It covers his greatest triumphs—including a deep dive into his masterpiece 1984 & takes an unflinching look at his early struggles as young Dutch immigrant unable to speak English, which led to lifelong issues with social anxiety and substance abuse.
