520    "Arriving in California as a young boy in the early 1960s,
       Edward Van Halen and his brother Alex were ripe for the 
       coming musical revolution. The sons of a Dutch, saxophone-
       playing father, the brothers discovered the Beatles, Cream,
       and other icons as they bound together as musical partners,
       forming identities for themselves in their adopted home 
       along the way. From the moment their hugely influential 
       1978 debut landed, Van Halen set a high bar for the rock 
       'n' roll lifestyle, creating an entirely new style of post
       -'60s hard rock and becoming the quintessential rock band 
       of the 1980s. But the high-flying success was fraught with
       difficulty, as Eddie struggled with alcohol and drug 
       addiction while simultaneously battling David Lee Roth 
       over the musical direction of the band, eventually taking 
       the band in an entirely new direction with Sammy Hagar and
       scaling new heights, before that iteration of Van Halen 
       disintegrated. Acclaimed biographer Paul Brannigan tackles
       the dramatic story with respect and affection for one of 
       rock's greatest musicians, pairing original interviews 
       with meticulous research to bring the story of Eddie Van 
       Halen completely up-to-date. Unchained: The Eddie Van 
       Halen Story is a remarkable account of determination, 
       genius, and single-minded commitment to the music." --
