    Van Halen Was Mentioned To Star In "Rock And Roll High School"......

    Am reading a bio of Joey Ramone, written by his brother.

    At the same time the Ramones were in New York City, future filmmaker Allan Arkush was in Hollywood working for Roger Corman, B-Movie King....."I wanted to make a movie about blowing up a high school......at a meeting at Warner Bros., " Alan remembers, "a guy named Carl mentioned some bands like Van Halen and Devo, which I passed on."
    WB had just bought out Sire Records, and the Ramones were on that label.

    The rest is history.....

    FYI that bio is essentially a work of fiction for the most part.

    Wasn't Cheap Trick the initial choice for that movie?

    I dunno about "initial" choice, but yes, and amazingly enough Todd Rungren was considered as well.

    Rock & Roll High School is a classic! It couldn't have been anyone else but the Ramones.
