"I had a blast reading Van Halen Rising . Throughout my teen years, there were few things that meant as much to me as the first six Van Halen albums and the original line up of the band. Greg Renoff takes us back to the beginning of all that, to how Dave, Eddie, Alex, and Michael came to form the group, to what the rock world looked like at the time, and to that grit and commitment it took for them to break through. He also puts us right there in Pasadena, at the backyard parties where the big rock sound was born. If you are a Van Halen fan, a real Van Halen fan, this book is a must read." -- Brian Koppelman, screenwriter of Rounders and Ocean's Thirteen , director of Solitary Man , and podcaster at The Moment "I thought I knew a lot about Van Halen, until I read this book. It's exceedingly rare to find such a comprehensive portrait of any band's pre-history, even for canonical groups like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. So to stumble across this level of research about the early days of VH is like hearing studio-quality demos of songs you did not even know existed." -- Chuck Klosterman, author of Fargo Rock City and Killing Yourself to Live "From the outset of Van Halen Rising , it's clear Greg Renoff reveres the mighty foursome as much as their most ardent fan. With devoted accuracy, Renoff takes us back to the early seventies, when Pasadena kids literally danced in the streets to get a glimpse of their home-town heroes, while music industry execs proclaimed Van Halen had 'no commercial potential.' Van Halen Rising delves into the years of practice and perseverance that led to the 'overnight success' of Van Halen's debut album, one of the most successful in music history. Renoff's writing is consistently punchy and compelling, like Van Halen at its finest. If you've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad for Van Halen, get Van Halen Rising ." -- Martha Quinn, original MTV VJ, Sirius XM host "I really loved reading Van Halen Rising . I couldn't believe the insight Renoff has into the production process behind the making of Van Halen's debut. He truly gets it! The book is fantastic." -- Ted Templeman, Grammy-winning music producer for Van Halen and David Lee Roth, "I thought I knew a lot about Van Halen, until I read this book. It's exceedingly rare to find such a comprehensive portrait of any band's pre-history, even for canonical groups like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin. So to stumble across this level of research about the early days of VH is like hearing studio-quality demos of songs you did not even know existed." -- Chuck Klosterman, author of Fargo Rock City and Killing Yourself to Live, "It's a rollicking roll through the life and times of a group that mowed through more groupies and drugs than could possibly be good for a young fella ... a fascinating read." -- Pasadena Star News, "It's a rollicking roll through the life and times of a group that mowed through more groupies and drugs than could possibly be good for a young fella. . . a fascinating read." -- Pasadena Star News, "Renoff explores in depth Van Halen's reluctant journey from back yard band to superstardom and, in particular, the role of David Lee Roth's ambition and entrepreneurial skills." -- Forbes, "Renoff's book is a thoroughly entertaining read that will appeal to every hard rock fan." -- Publishers Weekly, "I had a blast reading Van Halen Rising .

So to stumble across this level of research about the early days of VH is like hearing studio-quality demos of songs you did not even know existed." -- Chuck Klosterman, author of Fargo Rock City and Killing Yourself to Live, "In an excellent new book called Van Halen Rising, author Greg Renoff argues that, in the era of disco and punk, Van Halen's arrival saved heavy metal. While that may be hyperbole, there's little arguing that the backyard party band from Pasadena put Los Angeles back at the center of American rock & roll, where it's largely stayed ever since." -- LA Weekly, "I had a blast reading Van Halen Rising .

You don't. At least not until you've read Van Halen Rising: How a Southern California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal , the forthcoming book by historian and self-proclaimed Van Halen diehard Greg Renoff." -- Van Halen News Desk, "Fascinating (even for non-VH fans) ... A book almost anthropological in its level of detail." -- Vulture, "I really loved reading Van Halen Rising .

It's the tale of hardworking kids with nothing in common learning to fuse pop and heavy metal into a new sound that completely changed the music world. It also vividly shows that the personality clashes that would later destroy the band were there from Day One." -- Rolling Stone, "The author draws on interviews with many key players to tell the band's story, and he does a fine job of showing what it must have been like for the members of Van Halen ... The lack of interviews with Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth is notable, but not a serious drawback; many good music biographies have been written about stars who did not actively participate in the writing. And this is a very good one indeed." -- Booklist, "This prehistory is usually glossed over in accounts of the band, but in Van Halen Rising, author Greg Renoff devotes an entire book to it. It's the tale of hardworking kids with nothing in common learning to fuse pop and heavy metal into a new sound that completely changed the music world. It also vividly shows that the personality clashes that would later destroy the band were there from Day One." -- Rolling Stone

Synopsis

  • Incredible Early History of VH!

    Wow! Talk about a COMPLETE and DEEP history into the childhood days on the VH boys, as well as the early history of David Lee Roth! Highly recommended if your a die-hard fan, because there is stuff here you've probably never even heard about. The early party days, the club days and the recording of their debut album, that even many in the record industry thought the days of hard rock and metal have past by. Have a much deeper respect for the creativeness and the drive and determination of David Lee Roth, after reading this book. He kept the guys up and positive when they felt deflated that nothing was going to break for them when even Warner Bros thought punk was the next hot thing. A bit Ohio Players, a bit Cream/Zeppelin, with some "Californian sun" pop lyrics and an awesome stage ...
