Eddie Van Halen. Truly a man who changed the way we think of guitar playing. And yet, back in 1984, it was a song driven by an iconic keyboard riff that would go on to become Van Halen’s biggest single. It also had a fantastic EVH solo as well, so that helped… I’m talking about Jump, of course, taken from Van Halen’s 1984 album. And in its fortieth anniversary year, it’s that record we’re revisiting with a deep dive this month, including an exclusive extract from drummer Alex Van Halen’s new book Brothers.

Van Halen’s 1984
We investigate the full story surrounding the creation of VH’s legendary career peak and Alex Van Halen offers personal insight with an exclusive extract from his new autobiography.

A quick glance thru shows about 10 pages of VH content. Looking forward to sitting down with the mag.

I think they’ve done an issue like this before. It’s very well done.
