DESCRIPTION

The supervisor who shepherded Van Halen from obscurity to rock stardom goes behind the scenes to inform the entire, unadulterated story of David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, and the legendary band that modified rock music. Van Halen’s rise within the Eighties was one of the crucial thrilling the music world had ever seen – their mythos an epic occasion, a sweaty, attractive, unending rock extravaganza. Throughout this unparalleled run of success, debauchery, and drama, nobody was nearer to the band than Noel Monk. A person who’d labored with a few of rock’s largest and most infamous names, Monk spent seven years with Van Halen, serving first as their tour manger, then as their private supervisor till 1985, when each he and David Lee Roth exited as controversy, backstabbing, and disappointment consumed the band. All through Van Halen’s meteoric rise and abrupt halt, this confidant, fixer, good friend, and promoter noticed all of it and lived to inform. Now, for the primary time, he shares essentially the most outrageous escapades – from their coming of age to their most surprising habits on the highway; from Eddie’s courtship and high-profile wedding ceremony to Valerie Bertinelli to the unimaginable drug use that might finally result in everybody’s demise. Sharing never-before-told tales, Monk paints a compelling portrait of Eddie Van Halen, bringing into focus the distinctive mixture of expertise, imaginative and prescient, hardship, and naiveté that formed one of many best rock guitarists of all time – and made him and his brother susceptible to the trimmings and failings of fame. Runnin’ with the Satan is manna from rock heaven no Van Halen fan can miss.
