Runnin' With The Devil, besides a good Van Halen song, is the title of Noel Monk's book about his time with Van Halen, as first tour manager, then band manager. It's a great read.

Noel Monk's book was written and published a few years before Eddie Van Halen's untimely death. It chronicles his years as Van Halen's manager from 1979 to 1985, after serving as their road manager in 1978. Are you willing to hear his point of view?
Sure.

While a lot of us see David Lee Roth as the bandleader, in fact, Eddie had the last word. He and his brother, Alex, cut bassist Michael Anthony out of much of the band's profits, forcing him to sign a contract in order for Michael to continue with the band. The idea was, Michael didn't write the songs, so he shouldn't have the same vote/power/profits. However, Michael sang backup to Diamond Dave; Alex didn't write any songs, nor did he sing, except for choruses. Pretty crappy behaviour towards a founding member?
Wow, yes.

Sammy Hagar took over as lead singer when Dave left to try a solo career. I think he sucked, especially when he tried to call them Van Hagar. YOU?
