INFORMATION OM PRODUKTEN
Explore the extraordinary history of Van Halen through the groundbreaking band's 50 most important moments, brought to vivid life with photos and memorabilia.
Formed in Southern California in 1974, Van Halen became one of the best-selling bands in rock history and one of the highest-grossing tour acts with their rock-solid rhythm section, the histrionics of outrageous frontman David Lee Roth, and the wildly inventive and until-then unimaginable guitar heroics of Eddie Van Halen. In Van Halen at 50, prolific rock journalist Martin Popoff pays tribute to the band on the occasion of their 50th anniversary by curating 50 significant milestones, from their formation in 1974 to the passing of Eddie Van Halen in 2020. This volume features:
Across five decades, Popoff covers it all:
In addition, Popoff includes a selection of sidebars covering specialized topics like Eddie's finger-tapping technique, the band's album art, and the eternal Dave vs. Sammy question. Every page is illustrated with incredible images, including on- and off-stage photography, gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, ticket stubs, and more. The result is an apt tribute to one of the most popular bands in rock history.
