Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In a 1996 "Guitar World" interview, Eddie Van Halen talked with Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins. In that interview, Billy disclosed to Eddie what his favorite Van Halen album is. Name the album.

Answer: Fair Warning

 Eddie told Billy in that interview that that was one of the darkest periods of his life. He would actually change things on the recordings at night, and none of the engineers would even notice when they came in the next day.
2. What Van Halen song appears in the movie "Over the Edge", starring a very young Matt Dillon?

Answer: You Really Got Me

 The film was one of Matt Dillon's very first movies. The song appears on both the film's soundtrack and in the film itself.
3. In 1967, the parents of Eddie and Alex migrated to what town in California?

Answer: Pasadena

 Originally from the Netherlands, the family migrated to California in 1967.
4. How old was David Lee Roth when the band released their debut album?

Answer: 23

 "Van Halen" was an immediate success, going platinum in a mere six months. Every album Van Halen released, from that time to the date of this writing in 2009, has gone platinum. David Lee Roth was a mere twenty-two years old when the band released "Van Halen".
5. In 1977, Van Halen recorded twenty-five songs during a demo session, including most of the songs from their debut, although not all. Which song from the debut album was NOT recorded during the demo session?

Answer: Ain't Talkin' About Love

 The demos feature a wide variety of music, with several songs that were never released by the band. Interestingly enough, "In a Simple Rhyme" from "Women and Children First" and "House of Pain" from "1984" are present and accounted for, as well as early versions of "Mean Streets" (under the title "Voodoo Queen") and "Beautiful Girls" (under the title "Bring On the Girls").
6. One of Sammy Hagar's solo songs was written for the 1995 album "Balance". However, the band did not record the song, and Hagar instead released the song as a solo recording. What's the song?

Answer: High Hopes

 According to Issue 6 of "The Inside", a Van Halen magazine, Hagar wrote "High Hopes" for "Balance", but released that song, as well as "Buying My Way into Heaven", as two new recordings on the 1994 compilation "Unboxed".
7. Sammy Hagar wrote some lyrics entitled "The Silent Extreme". Eddie hated the lyrics, and had Hagar come up with new lines for the music he had written. What Van Halen song features the replacement lyrics that Hagar wrote?

Answer: Humans Being

 Hagar wrote "The Silent Extreme" lyrics for the music of "Humans Being". Eddie thought the lyrics were horrendous and wanted Hagar to rewrite them. He rewrote the lyrics, which eventually became "Humans Being".
8. In 1996, Van Halen recorded three songs for the "Twister" soundtrack. The first two are "Humans Being" and "Respect the Wind". A third song was recorded but went unreleased. What's that song's name?

Answer: Between Us Two

 The song was entitled "Between Us Two". Hagar did not complete the lyrics so the song was left unfinished and unreleased.
9. In a scene in the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", some characters buy two Van Halen tickets. According to the movie's dialogue, what was the face value per ticket (in dollars) to see Van Halen?

Answer: 12.50

 Damone sells the two tickets for twenty dollars apiece. He tells his friend Rat that he just made sixteen dollars, which is a movie error, as in reality he would only have made fifteen dollars.
10. What unreleased Van Halen song was recorded twice, once for the 1977 demos and once for "Diver Down"?

Answer: Big Trouble

 The band planned to release "Big Trouble" on both "Diver Down" and "1984", though obviously it was released on neither. Once Sammy came in, the recording got relegated to the vaults and has been there ever since.
