Description

Runnin' with the Devil: A Backstage Pass to the Wild Times, Loud Rock, and the Down and Dirty Truth Behind the Making of Van Halen The story of Van Halen's rise to rock stardom is one of the most thrilling in music history, with a mythos that was both epic and chaotic. At the heart of this story was Noel Monk, the manager who played a pivotal role in shaping the band's success. With seven years of experience working with some of rock's biggest names, Monk was uniquely positioned to witness the band's most outrageous escapades, from their coming of age to their most shocking behavior on the road. This behind-the-scenes look at Van Halen's meteoric rise and abrupt halt is told by Monk himself, who shares never-before-told stories about the band's most private moments. With exclusive access to Monk's own archives, the book paints a compelling portrait of Eddie Van Halen, revealing the unique combination of talent, vision, hardship, and naivety that made him one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. With dozens of rare photographs from Monk's vaults, Runnin' with the Devil is a must-have for any Van Halen fan.
