Episode 259 – Van Halen Rising
Van Halen Rising, How a California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal. That’s the claim laid out on the cover of the new book by author Greg Renoff. A pretty ballsy statement to be sure but this week Greg stops by Focus on Metal to defend that statement. It’s an excellent and well researched book on the origins and early years of Van Halen and we highly recommend it. You can swing by http://vanhalenrising.com/ and check out some great early VH pics and also score yourself some cool swag. It’s an all VH week this week so strap yourself in and prepare to head back to 1978.
