Book Reviews of Van Halen: A Visual History: 1978 - 1984
Book Review: fandamntastic
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited when I got this book for Christmas. After waiting 23 years f or the band to get back together, and finally seeing them in NYC in November (minus Michael Anthony, plus Wolfgang), I felt my life was complete. Then seeing all these fantabulous pictures of them in their glory days- I just couldn't put the book down. I read it cover to cover, and soaked in every picture. The author was not just a hired gun photographer, but a friend, and you can tell this by the photos he took and the tidbits he collected from a wide range of people in the biz. He captured the guys' personalities, on and off stage. I used to have posters of clippings all over my walls of these guys during their prime, but I never got to seethem live- only van Hagar and the DLR band, which were great, but not the same. Between the band's reunion, however long that may last, and this book, which is awesome, I feel a missing piece of my youth (not seeing them before they split in 85) has been replaced. This book is truly a labor of love and not just somebody seeing a chance to make a few bucks off the band's reunion. And yes, ladies, there is more than one picture of Dave in buttless pants (chaps) and even one of him in a bathrobe and the tiniest pair of men's underwear I've ever seen. oh yeah, and a foreward by Diamond Dave, the man, the icon, the philosopher as well as one by Pete Angelus.
Summary of Van Halen: A Visual History: 1978 - 1984
From their eponymous 1978 debut through their colossal 1984 album (they've sold over 75 million albums worldwide), Van Halen rewrote all the rules. Nobody rockedor partiedharder. Photographer Neil Zlozower first met the band in 1978, worked with them again on Van Halen II, and soon became their friend, hanging out in L.A. and hitting the road on tour with them. Van Halen collects more than 250 backstage, candid, and full rock-out photos of the all-powerful, spandexed, high-kicking, guitar blazing, stadium-shaking, original Van Halen lineup. Accompanying Zlozower's amazing photos are an introduction about his wild ride with VH, a foreword by David Lee Roth, and testimony from the rock pantheon paying homage to the band, including members of Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, KISS, Motley Cre, and more.
