Happy Birthday to our favorite Van Halen photographer, Neil Zlozower!
Watch the author of our two favorite Van Halen books give you a virtual book tour!
Legendary rock photographer Neil Zlozower has published two hardcover coffee table photo books on Van Halen (Van Halen: A Visual History, 1978-1984 & Eddie Van Halen) both of which are absolute must-have items for fans. Even if you own both books, you’ll love these two videos we made of Zloz (as his friends call him) guiding the viewer through a sampling of the books. These videos are your own personal sit down with Neil—an intimate conversation with the author!
Ever wonder what it would have been like to be lucky enough to befriend Van Halen in the young and wild early days and hold on for the ride of your life? Well, Neil Zlozower had that thrill – he was part of their entourage in the heyday—and he captured it all on film! All those great shots – and HE WAS THERE! What an experience all that must have been. And it’s not just that he was there… he’s one of THE most accomplished rock ’n’ roll photographers ever. Thankfully, he worked hard to get these classic shots, and now he’s sharing them with fans through these books.
Watch the videos below and let Zloz guide you through a sampling of each book. It’s very cool to see him reminiscing over some of the shots.
Not only are these books photographic journeys through the early years of Van Halen, but Zloz has gathered testimonials from many of the biggest names in rock regarding their personal recollections of the impact Van Halen had on them. Come for the photos, but stay for the exclusive homages!
