520    Van Halen’s rise in the 1980s was one of the most 
       thrilling the music world had ever seen—their mythos an 
       epic party, a sweaty, sexy, never-ending rock 
       extravaganza. During this unparalleled run of success, 
       debauchery, and drama, no one was closer to the band than 
       Noel Monk. A man who’d worked with some of rock’s biggest 
       and most notorious names, Monk spent seven years with Van 
       Halen, serving first as their tour manger then as their 
       personal manager until 1985, when both he and David Lee 
       Roth exited as controversy, backstabbing, and 
       disappointment consumed the band. Throughout Van Halen’s 
       meteoric rise and abrupt halt, this confidant, fixer, 
       friend, and promoter saw it all and lived to tell. Now, 
       for the first time, he shares the most outrageous 
       escapades—from their coming of age to their most shocking 
       behavior on the road; from Eddie’s courtship and high 
       profile wedding to Valerie Bertinelli to the incredible 
       drug use which would ultimately lead to everyone’s demise.
       Sharing never-before-told stories, Monk paints a 
       compelling portrait of Eddie Van Halen, bringing into 
       focus the unique combination of talent, vision, hardship, 
       and naiveté that shaped one of the greatest rock 
       guitarists of all time—and made him and his brother 
       vulnerable to the trappings and failings of fame.
