Kurzbeschreibung
Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived. -Zakk Wylde Van Halen is as American as apple pie, Ford Mustangs, and fake breasts. However, underneath all the fun and flash is one of the most important and influential, soulful and successful bands in history. With their explosive 1978 debut, they changed the face of rock. As of 2005, they have earned a dozen consecutive multi-Platinum albums with sales reaching in excess of 75 million copies worldwide. Van Halen 101 is a comprehensive guide to the amazing history, music, impact and influence of the Mighty VH. No hype, no b.s., just the facts. Includes a Foreword by Brian May of Queen and a tribute to Edward Van Halen by over 100 of the world's greatest musicians! From Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai to James Hetfield and Zakk Wylde, all the greats came forward to personally share their thoughts, memories and stories about the man simply known as "King Edward". "I liked what I read a lot. This book is a labor of love and all true VH fans will love it". -Alan Paul, Guitar World (Sept 2005) "A comprehensive guide written in an extremely conversational tone. Sanchez is a great raconteur". - Chris O'Byrne, Guitar One (May 2006) "Essential for any serious Van Halen fan". - Martin Popoff, Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles (Jan/Feb 2006) "You can't go wrong with this killer crash course on the band". - Jude Gold, Guitar Player (Jan 2006) "The exhaustive artist tributes make Van Halen 101 stand out from the pack". - Greg Prato, Classic Rock (Jan 2006) "All told, Van Halen 101 is a terrific encapsulation of Van Halen's storied music career". - Ken Sharp, FM Quarterback (October 2005)
Synopsis
"Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived." -Zakk Wylde Van Halen is as American as apple pie, Ford Mustangs, and fake breasts. However, underneath all the fun and flash is one of the most important and influential, soulful and successful bands in history. With their explosive 1978 debut, they changed the face of rock. As of 2005, they have earned a dozen consecutive multi-Platinum albums with sales reaching in excess of 75 million copies worldwide. Pound for pound, they also happen to be one of the most devastating live bands in history. With thirteen tours and more than 1,300 gigs under their belt, they consistently packed sheds from L.A. to Tokyo. The cast of characters is legendary. "Diamond" David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone - three very dynamic but very different frontmen. Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony - one of the most powerful and consistent rhythm sections in rock. Edward Van Halen - the only rock guitarist in history other than the great Jimi Hendrix to reinvent the electric guitar. "I liked what I read a lot. This book is a labor of love and all true VH fans will love it."-Alan Paul, Guitar World Van Halen 101 is a comprehensive guide to the amazing history, music, impact, and influence of the Mighty VH.No hype, no b.s., just the facts. Includes a Foreword by Brian May and a tribute to Edward Van Halen by over 100 of the world's greatest musicians! From Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai to James Hetfield and Zakk Wylde, all the greats came forward to personally share their thoughts, memories and stories about the man simply known as "King Edward."

Die geniale Einleitung schreibt kein geringerer als Brian May von Queen!
Auch wird Eddie Spieltechnik, sein Brown Sound, seine Gitarren und alles was ihn ausmacht beschrieben.
Das alles ohne Pathos und Fan Gehabe! Sondern klar nüchtern und Fach kompetabel!
Mein Tipp: Unbedingt kaufen!

Disappointing
14. Oktober 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I have to agree with the anonymous reviewer that this book reads as if a 16-year old wrote it. I expected a thorough history of Van Halen when I purchased this book and I got some fan's poorly-written, poorly-researched tribute to the band. The writing style makes the author seem like he's not even sure of some of the stuff he's telling us.
For instance, he totally left off the fact that in 1987 Eddie produced Sammy's then-untitled solo album and played bass on all the songs. Instead the author says something to the effect that they just rested up for OU812.
Also, Van Halen fans don't want to read a "Discography" section, we know what the music sounds like and if we like it or not.
And while the "Tribute" section is impressive, it's not what I call interesting reading.
Save your money. Wait for a Van Halen biography written by someone who is qualified to write one.

An arena rock-sized dissapointment!!
10. Januar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
The only reason I didn't give this book a 1/2 star is because it's not an option when picking the rating. I'm not one who usually jumps on reviewer chatboards to tell people how I feel, but I'm a big Van Halen fan, and was really excited to read this book, and was dissapointed to the point where I felt the need to warn the Van Halen fans of the world. If you're looking for a kick a** biography on this band...keep looking. It might not ever come, but not having anything at all is better than wasting your time and money on this bloated, 400 page turd.
The writing in this book is juvenile to the point of insulting. I don't mind coversational writing styles if it is done well, but it's like this author had only 5 different phrases to choose from in order to describe events in this book. When the term to describe Gary Cherone "...he can sing his d**k off!" appears twice within a couple pages, you have to wonder if the publisher of this book even has an editor on staff.
And ok, I get it, when the first Van Halen album was released in 1978 it ushered in a whole new era in rock music and single handledly reinvented the electric guitar. If I didn't know that the first time you said it, I sure as h*ll knew it by the fifth time I read it.
No interviews with the band members, no classic photos of the band, and I'm not even sure the facts I was given in the book were accurate. When the author uses the terms "I'm pretty sure..." and "I'm guessing..." on multiple occassions, it kinda feels like I'm being told stories by the old stoner guys back home who saw Van Halen in concert back in '81.
The history of the band feels like it was investigated using old Guitar World magazines, and classic video footage from MTV News. The discography section is redundant, and self-serving.
And the chapter entitled "Too Many Notes" should have been scrapped before publishing...again, where's the editor? Who cares if "Eruption" had 850 notes, and "Voodoo Chile" had 1000 notes?!! The only saving grace is the tribute section at the end. But even then, it only takes the first 20 or so "Eddie Van Halen is the best of all times" to get the point.
Van Halen fans, I know we haven't had much to cheer about in the last few years but stay strong, avoid this book, throw on your greatest hits CD and keep hoping for the "real" reunion tour sometime soon!!

Don't waste your money
4. November 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I am about halfway through this book and have serious doubts about being able to finish it.
The writing style is juvenile and irritating. The constant references to people as 'cats' and the reader as 'baby' is beyond annoying.
In a rambling dissertation about Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo during the 2004 tour the author didn't even mention that Eddie's son Wolfgang joined him onstage at many venues. That, to many, was one of the tours' most memorable moments. In the discography section he does not mention that on the Van Halen 'Greatest Hits Vol. 1' CD that in the original pressing "Running With the Devil" had verses two and three reversed. Facts like these would have been much more interesting to both the casual and hardcore fans than much of the ramblings presented. I keep hoping for something more insightful in this book but it obviously will not be forthcoming.
The tribute section seems to be the only section worth anyones' time.
