I just finished this book, having consumed it as soon as it arrived. (Well, as fast as I could considering I work full time and have three little kids and a wife, but you know what I mean). I am a Van Halen fan and gained a deeper respect and appreciation for the band after reading this book. I've always loved their albums but have taken them for granted until now. I was three years old in 1978, so pretty much every memory involving the band or hearing their name and their music came with the assumption they are undisputedly awesome. They defined hard rock for my entire life. Just the name "Van Halen" was synonymous with ass-kicking.Now, having read this book, I realized what set them apart from so many awful clones: They worked their asses off for years before hitting it big, against the crazy tide of commercial music that hated what they represented. It seems like most bands since Van Halen want fame immediately and are unwilling to put in the work to build their name up. Having read this book it is absolutely NO WONDER they exploded within a year of their debut album hitting the stores. I absolutely loved the stories from the "big" bands at the time for whom Van Halen opened -- Black Sabbath, Journey, etc. -- regretting having to follow these young upstarts. Van Halen were starving by the time they landed a tour, and were primed and ready. The big bands at that time -- and no disrespect is implied here -- hadn't seen anything like them and were on automatic pilot, it seems. (Such a kick that Sabbath were supporting an album called "Never Say Die" when they were clearly dying a slow death night after night.)Probably the biggest thing I came away with after reading Van Halen Rising was a deep respect for David Lee Roth. Look, you either love him or hate him. I've vacillated between one or the other in the years of being a VH fan. I now can say I love the guy. He's taken his licks since Day One when he took voice lessons in school. No one has ever praised VH for vocals the way one praises Led Zeppelin, Journey, etc. But without a doubt were it not for his style, incredible DRIVE, and an unfathomable amount of faith and hope (and those aren't just the names of a couple of strippers in Vegas) Van Halen as we know it would not exist. He changed their look and broadened their soundscape. He compensated for his vocals with incredible charisma. The man is smart and savvy, and I can tell he knew he was lucky when Ed and Al let him into the fold. They no doubt knew they were lucky to have a guy fight so hard to help them become a best-selling act.The interviews are well-sourced. I loved hearing Ted Templeman's stories, including that he wanted to replace Roth with Sammy Hagar but relented when he heard Roth's lyrics. To this day that's one of the biggest differences between those two iterations of Van Halen. Good to hear from Michael Anthony -- who I felt sorry for when I saw the pics to the clothes he had to wear the first concert he played in -- and good to hear from Mark Stone, the guy he replaced.I'm giving this 4, not 5 stars for aesthetic reasons only. This looks like a vanity press, self-published book. I know it is not endorsed by VH, I get it. But the ink on some of the pages were lighter than others and at times somewhat difficult to read. I would have loved for this to have been published by a better publisher, and certainly in hardcover. It was clearly written by a fan who took it upon himself to fill a void that many of us wanted filled, but the quality/presentation of the book FELT like it was written by a fan, if that means anything. I'm that specific kind of book nerd. So sue me. Of course most of the photos in here were not professionally done -- probably taken from a friend at the party, but as a rock bio fan I would have killed for a middle section of some color photos.But I hope you hear from this review that the quality of the story itself is very satisfying and made me appreciate Van Halen more than ever. I read that the author is considering a sequel. I would LOVE to read about the rest of the Roth years in similar detail.Thanks Greg Renoff for taking the time to write this book.
I saw Van Halen at least 20 times at backyard parties and small venues that they sold out themselves. I then saw a dozen shows of the first tour alone. This book nails what I saw and the people like Rudy Lieren who was Ed's longtime guitar tech that I spoke with. His research is truly amazing, his sources are listed throughout this book. It takes you from the band members early days right up until they get signed. It's the most comprehensive book on those early days I have ever seen. A must for VH fans or any rock fans.
First and foremost, I am a lifelong Van Halen fan since 1978.I have been following the band since I moved to L.A., and my youth was formed around the music scene there since 1978 to 1985.The book provides me some refreshed memories of backyard parties and auditorium gatherings where bands played live. I wish I had seen the mighty Van Halen in its formative years but this book takes you back in time.I have my memories of what bands I saw but now I can certainly see where all the luster and bluster for hard rock comes from. I just saw them in concert this year and was glad that the book plus the tour made the summer even more special for me, as a fan.In researching the young Van Halen's youth, particularly bringing us in to their teens years, you can learn so much about who they are today.Especially their relationship as brothers, as band mates to each other, and their relationship with one David Lee Roth.I am glad Greg Renoff put this well written story of my favorite band together.I am on my second re-read and much like Dave's Crazy from the Heat, I cannot put it down.If you love music, and if you love success stories with great background I strongly recommend Van Halen Rising!
As a music lover and miserable wannabe player I read a lot of this type of book. In fact I read Sammy's and Valerie's works quite a while ago. I don't know what to even say about this effort. I've never seen anything like it. It's SO well-researched, and written by not just a fan but someone that knows something about music.I jumped on this because of the great reviews and never considered that it might not be a complete biography of the band. You click on this before all synapses are firing if you are some of us. I was in a world of book-reading where "it's too good to be true". Then we were done and it dawned on me that the title of the book indicated the scope. Bummer, but it is still one of the most fulfilling books about one of my music heroes that I have ever read and I am going to scour the landscape for another Renoff project.
This is a great book on Van Halen’s early days. I have always been a huge fan. I grew up in Pasadena/San Marino and was 10 when Van Halen’s first album came out. It is great to have addresses because I know so many of these locations, but I had no idea exactly where the parties took place. I still live here now and have driven by now that I have the addresses. I’ve known where the Roth mansion is for years. It was a Pasadena Showcase House many years ago when Roth was at the height of his career and you could buy tickets and take a tour. One of my moms friends was volunteering at the showcase house and a gardener came up to her in his dirty overalls and asked her for a quarter for the vending machine. She gave it to him. When she told one of her friends about the gardner and pointed him out, her friend said “That’s not the gardner, that’s the owner of the house, David Lee Roth.â€Greg Renoff has done a great book job with this book and for someone like me it’s perfect. I would like him to write a book about the next chapter of their career - the studio recordings and what took place in the studio and during this time with as much detail as he has this first book. I know he’s writing a book about Van Halen’s producer, Ted Templeman, who I’m also a huge fan of. So I’m really looking forward to that book.
