Steve Rosen, the music journalist who did the first in depth interview ever with me for Guitar Player Magazine back in the day, has written a weighty book on the career and life of Eddie Van Halen, who he had a multi-decade relationship with. Lots of interviews, personal recollections and insights into Eddie, his band, his thoughts on music, his family and his life. I guess Steve was as close to Eddie as any writer got. Eddie was in my opinion, the Jimi Hendrix of his generation. Steve's book would be great for anyone wanting to know more about him.  |

I used to read GPM religiously back then. Steve was always the best. If I remember correctly the article Buck referenced is just after the release of OYFOOYK. Buck was 25 at the time.

Ralph, do we have this particular interview in the various archives ? Rock's Backpages has it, although it's behind a hefty paywall. Part of it ended up in one of Martin Popoff's books. It's "Guitar Player Magazine January 1976" if you're looking for it. I couldn't find much more than that. |

I have (or had) a compilation book from GPM with the article I think Buck references. If it's the article where he referenced EC and JP. Will look for it again and will post.

That article brought back some great memories, thanks for posting it; does anyone have the Keyboard Magazine issue that had interviews with Allen and Eric? I believe it had Peter Nero on the cover, circa 1980.
