    Tonight's the night, 9pm ET....

    I'm sure all you homos can come up with some great questions, and now that Greg has had the book party last weekend in Pasadena with guests like Ted Templeman and Mark Stone, there's probably some more questions that arose from that as well....

    If I can make a suggestion, not that you bastards will do it, but you might want to glance at the chat thread at the Links, so that we can bring up some new questions for Greg, here's the link:

    Hi all, Our chat with Van Halen Rising author Greg Renoff (VHLinks username "ffoner") starts at 6 PM Pacific TONIGHT! You can start posting your questions to Greg now! That will get us started and he'll have some he can answer right off the bat. The chat will last 60 minutes. Please don't post your same question over and over, give Greg a chance to answer the ones he can. And look to see (if you can) if the same question has already been asked or if Greg has answered it. Please be

      Outside of your interview with Michael Anthony, has there been any acknowledgement whatsoever from anyone associated the current incarnation of the band?

          During Dave's brief solo acoustic stint that followed the demise of Red Ball Jet, it is mentioned that Dave began playing Ice Cream Man and Honalulu Baby. The latter surfaced as a great unreleased VH song. Is that a Roth original or a cover?

          There have been so many unreleased gems that have surfaced over the years that most of us fans have figured we've heard them all. How on Earth did you find the songs that you've put out on You-Tube over the past few months and are there any more to follow?

            Semi-related: Was there anyone that was reluctant to be interviewed, but eventually agreed to talk? Don't need names...

                  How about just initials? Or "rhymes with?"

                      The book notes that one of the reasons Mark Stone was released was his insistence of not contributing vocals. Does this mean that all of the backing vocals on the Cherokee demo songs besides Angel Eyes are Edward alone?

                      Are there any other details about the Cherokee demo or the recordings with Jim Pewsey that aren't metioned in the book?

                              "For Van Halen, this is the kind of success story of talent and hard work winning out in the end. For David Lee Roth-who could have been bounced out of Van Halen in early 1977-it's a Rocky-like story of winning when the odds are stacked against you."

                              Having said that, what do you feel the brothers would have actually done had they been asked to ditch the man Ed once said, "we need this guy" of, who helped hone and propel their talents from nothing to something in three years time by crafting their brand of rock into catchy, fan-friendly sing-alongs?

                                Hi all - happy to be here. Thanks to VBVHF and Von for making this happen....

                                As of yet, I have not heard from anyone in the band. May never hear from anyone. Have heard that copies are going to be handed to them soon, FWIW.
