Van Halen: The Eruption and the Aftershock by Michael Christopher

Van Halen: The Eruption and the Aftershock by Michael Christopher was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. I am of the age where I grew up with Van Halen, saving my money in advance so I could purchase their next cassette (small plastic thing with spools and "tape" inside it that played music), whenever it dropped. The music was awesome but was one of the shorter new music offerings each year or so. This book is for the Van Halen fan who never read any other books about them or paid much attention to music mags in the past. The book covers the band's ups and downs, their shenanigans and everything about them over the years. I recommend it as a coffee table type book or for your book shelf if a collector.

4 Stars.
