https://youtube.com/live/8Wd7ybIhDgQ?feature=share From Steven Rosen - As freaking psyched and excited as I was to share “Tonechaser” with the world a few years back, I think I'm even more pumped to deliver the news that “Tonechaser: The Audiobook” will be available for purchase on July 1st. At long last it is here and much of that has to do with your continued interest in an audiobook and reaching out to me and asking me if such a project was in the works. Admittedly, I went back and forth on this for a very long time. I finally made the decision to release all my rare, archival audio with Edward in what eventually turned into this 30-hour audiobook. With the help of my technical wizard Adam Roach, we figured out how to embed the original audio in and around my own narration. To order the book, you need to download the SoundWise app (or visit MySoundwise.com), create an account and search for the “Discover” tab in their app: “Tonechaser." Once you do this, Soundwise will send you an email where you can go through the steps of purchasing and downloading. The audiobook is $39.99. If you bundle it with a physical copy of “Tonechaser”, the cost is $79.99. If you have already purchased a copy of the book, please email me at scrosen@sbcglobal.net and I will send you a promo code that will drop the audiobook price to $29.99. This is a "thank you" for your early loyalty to my book. And a monster thank you to everybody who has come on the Tonechaser ride. Three editions deep and now the audiobook! You have read about what it was like hanging out with Edward and now you can hear those actual conversations for the very first time. I know you will be transported just as I was as I listened to all this archival audio once again. “Exclusively Van Halen" is the ultimate destination for all things Van Halen.

Welcome to Part 1 of Episode 45, featuring Steve Rosen. Steve is a highly respected music journalist and author of more than 1,000 articles and seven books, delving into the lives of iconic figures like Jeff Beck, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and Black Sabbath.  His latest endeavor, ‘Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen', was published in 2022. The book offers an intimate perspective on the guitar virtuoso and Steve's friendship with him from 1977 to 2003.  In the introduction to the book, Steve writes, “What you will read here is not a biography, a history, or an exacting chronology. You won't find discussions about tapping, taping, or touring. There are no in-depth analyses of album releases or his profound and absolute rewriting of the entire canon of electric guitar playing. . . . Rather think of this as a memory journal, a chronicle filled with observations, illuminations, and interpretations and what the hell does that mean? It means telling you about what I saw—the observing—shedding some first-hand light on what I was seeing—the illuminating—and trying to explain and decipher what I was witnessing—the interpreting” (XVII).

He reflects on the evolution of his career, juggling multiple creative roles, and how he ensures that his outputs remain authentic and engaging. Driven with passion and purpose in whatever he does, Gordon shares a powerful piece of advice to  aspiring artists: “All the things you think are your greatest liabilities are going to become your greatest virtues.” Gordon Greenberg is an accomplished writer, director, producer, and teacher, and has collaborated with people like Zachary Quinto, Calista Flockhart, Antonio Banderas, Steven Schwartz, Steve Rosen, Neil Patrick Harris, Jerry Seinfeld, and Gary Marshall among others.

The Jeremy White Show welcomes Journalist and Author Steve Rosen! Steve Rosen is a professional music journalist with a career spanning 50 years. During this period, he has published well over 1,000 articles in major periodicals originating from around the globe. Rosen was the West Coast correspondent for Guitar World magazine for four years during the seminal mid-‘80s, when he wrote eight cover stories—including three lead features on Edward Van Halen recognized as pivotal pieces on the legendary guitarist.    As a contributor to Guitar Player magazine, Rosen also wrote a prodigious 16 covers in a six-year span. A recognized authority on the eclectic world of Rock, Rosen has been tapped seven times to write books on several high-profile musicians, including Jeff Beck, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath, Free/Bad Company and Randy Rhoads.    The traveling troubadour's work has taken him to distant vistas in search of mysterious stories and elusive sagas—hand-selected to accompany numerous bands as a traveling wordsmith for the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Loggins & Messina, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, Alice Cooper, The Firm, Van Halen, and others.    Recently, Rosen's main focus has been organizing his incredibly extensive and rare collection of audio interviews dating back to 1973. The entire library represents well over 1,500 hours of content, with hundreds and hundreds of classic rock's most-engaging, enraging and entrancing characters, including Edward Van Halen. This archival process led to the unearthing of what Rosen called “The Twilight Tapes”—50 interviews representing hours of late-night phone calls with the Van Halen guitarist, who happened to become a very close friend over the years. “The Twilight Tapes” sparked the idea to sit down to write TONECHASER in 2020 and the rest, as they say, is rock and roll history.
