“This is a great book for any Van Halen fan. It has interviews with current and former band members, which give some good insights into the group’s history.”

Author Michael Christopher has culled quotes from a litany of interviews with Van Halen members past and present, as well as other music industry notables, to build his story. It’s interesting reading, especially if you’re into over-the-top hair metal.”
