Tonechaser: Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen

By Steve Rosen

Book Overview

Tonechaser is not your typical biography. Rather, it is a strikingly personal account of Steven Rosen's twenty-plus year odyssey with Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest and most enigmatic musicians of the 20th century. What was it like to call Ed a friend? Rosen tells all in this fascinating and unique memoir. - Brad Tolinski, author of Eruption: Conversations With Eddie Van Halen, former editor-in-chief of Guitar World Magazine.

I love this book because it details in Eddie's own words how much he loved and cared about making great music with his guitar. - Joe Satriani

An unparalleled collection of early and essential EVH interviews. Passionate, unfiltered, and uncensored, this is the real Eddie, confiding to his friend. - Jas Obrecht, Talking Guitar

Steve was an insider during Edward's most mythical days. It's certainly a pleasure to join them vicariously for adventures musical and otherwise. - Paul Gilbert

This book is awesome Makes you feel like you are right there in the room with Edward. Steve is such a honest author and writer. He really details the vibes that were going down in his view but also leaves room for our interpretation. Great read - Doug Aldrich
