    #13 - Eddie Van Halen's Biographer Reveals What He Was Like in Private | Steve Rosen

    Get Steve Rosen's Eddie Van Halen biography, Tonechaser, on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4v0WXtz Journalist Steve Rosen spent nearly a decade as one of Eddie Van Halen's closest confidants, and the stories he tells here reveal a side of the guitar god almost no one saw. Eddie personally sanctioned Rosen to write his authorized biography, handing over phone numbers and telling him to carry a microphone and record anything he wanted. But the book collapsed when Eddie kept stalling with the same excuse: "If we sit down now, the next album won't be part of the book." The two had a bitter falling out in 2003, and the project sat dead until 2020, when Rosen rediscovered what he calls the "Twilight Tapes" and began writing again, just six weeks before Eddie passed away. In this conversation, Rosen shares the intimate moments that defined the real Edward: the night Eddie cried talking about his father's death, the chain-smoking that Rosen believes ultimately killed him, the time Eddie drove his Lamborghini to Guitar Center and had to borrow ten dollars for strings, and the painful end of a friendship Rosen still doesn't fully understand. He explains Eddie's "brown sound," his admission late in life that he was a "tone chaser" who never found the sound he was after, and why he lied about his own age to build the legend. It's an unguarded portrait of the most influential guitarist who ever lived, from the man who knew him when the cameras were off.
