EVH: The Interviews,
By Roger Peterson (Pontiac, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guitar World Presents Van Halen (Paperback)
This book is filled with 12 different interviews with one of Rock's legendary guitar heroes: Eddie Van Halen. All of the interviews are culled from past Guitar World issues, and to my knowledge, are complete. They are arranged by publication dates, which range from 1981 to 1997.Most are filled with the typical questions, and more than a few touch on the David Lee Roth's departure. One interview is given by Billy Corrigan (Smashing Pumpkins)! Never would have saw that one coming! I have read most of these interviews from the magazine, but it was great to have them in one book. After reading several of them, I realized that either I hadn't read the orginal interviews completely, or I just plain forgot about some facts! It was a joy to go back and re-read them. It's nice to see a timeline of Eddie's progress from a childhood pianist to a full fledged guitar god. It's also nice to see a bound book with these gems, as the ink from a book does not smear from constant reading like a magazine does! While there were pictures peppered here and there, they were black and white. I would like to see more pictures (color), and the originals sidebars that accompanied the magazine editions (ie. equipment, setups, etc...) If the publishers had included that last bit of info, I would definately give this book a five. Who knows, Eddie is still kicking, maybe they will release another edition!
