Dear former, present and future Roth Army participants:
We would like to invite you to a chat hosted by the Roth Army with Greg Renoff, Author of the new Van Halen Rising book that is now available in the Van Halen Store, and is a
#1 seller on Amazon. This book chronicles Van Halen's early years. The beginning. The trials, tribulations and pure fucking working ethic it took for a band that started out with the gay ass name of Genesis (thank goodness Phil fucking Collins ended up with that band name) then became Mammoth, and ultimately became the band we have known them
to be for over 30 years, Van Halen. This book is a must read for any true Van Halen fan. You may think you know all there is to know about this band, but you will learn a few things from reading this book. The book ends as the band gets ready to embark on its first headlining world tour. Everything in this book is concentrated on all the stuff you've heard about over the years, but had never really been investigated and written about. That's right, the backyard parties. Covered, in depth. Dave auditioning in the early 70's, and getting shunned by Ed and Al. The path that the Van Halen's and Dave took, that finally got them together. The Gene Simmons Demo's. The night after night of playing seedy bars. The other musicians that became famous rock stars too. It's all in this great book about our favorite band, in great detail. Greg turned over rocks (maybe even some fossils!) during his research. It's all here, in
Van Halen Rising - How A Southern California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal.
Greg will be here to answer any questions you have. Well, not any questions. We know some of you are real dumbasses, and might ask something really stupid, so that won't be allowed. But, if you have any book or VH related questions for Greg, join us on Saturday October 17, 2015 at 9:00 PM EST here on the Roth Army for this event.
If you haven't been in the Roth Army Forums in awhile, because you're too busy being in everybody's business on Facebook, or some other stupid social media avenue, or your Mom turned off the wifi in the basement, we're still alive and kicking. Granted, now that we're primarily run by a guy in a skirt, we're a lot more tame than we used to be. But hey, we're still the Roth motherfucking Army. We still honor the front man of the greatest American rock band on the planet. We still carry the Van Halen/David Lee Roth spirit.
We better fucking see you Saturday night, motherfuckers!
