New Book Brings Relief To Van Halen Fans.

PORTLAND, OR.
These days, it's tough to be a Van Halen fan. After the failed David Lee Roth reunion in 1996, the mercifully brief reign of frontman, Gary Cherone and Edward Van Halen's alleged battle with cancer, the future of Van Halen remains uncertain. And fan frustration escalates with every cryptic press release and comment from band members and other public figures in the know.

Van Halen fans finally have a reason to rejoice. Crank Farm Comics, an independant publishing company located in Portland, OR, has released a new illustrated book, entitled:

Van Halen: Strange & Twisted Tales.

The book is an epic parody of the entire history and future of Van Halen. Nothing is sacred and no band member (past or present) is left un-skewered. The book also features a hilarious glimpse at the much anticipated Van Halen/Roth reunion.

Brilliantly written and conceived by Lance Watts and beautifully illustrated by Garth Jones, Strange and Twisted Tales distills the entire Van Halen universe and all it's inhabitants into the most entertaining book ever written about The World's Greatest Rock Band. It's a must-have for fans and collectors.

At just $9.95 (US) no Van Halen, Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth fan should be without one.

Edward Van Halen speaks about David Lee Roth in Maximum Golf Magazine.

"The last time I spoke to or saw Dave was back in September of last year. I played him a few new tunes, we bullshitted a bit, had some laughs, and everything seemed cool. He was even kind enough to turn me onto his uncle, Jack Roth, a cancer surgeon and research specialist at - coincidentally - M.D. Anderson, in Houston, where I had been going once a week for treatment."

"Everything looked pretty positive about gettin' together. But before you know it attorneys are involved. These cats had me so beat down and confused, it made the cancer seem like a tiny zit on my ass. Everything seemed to fall apart once these guys got involved. I mean... we used to do it on a handshake. At this point, I don't have a clue what is going on."
