Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ted Templeman, who produced all the Roth records as well as the Sammy Hagar fronted "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", worked with Sammy Hagar before he worked with Van Halen.

Answer: True

Ted Templeman produced Hagar's band Montrose in the early 1970s, several years before he began producing Van Halen discs.

Answer: 5150

The song is "Love Walks In". Hagar states that in 1968 aliens downloaded all the information in his brain, and during this brain download he woke up and discovered them. Hagar's musical publishing company is named Nine Music after narrowing the aliens in question down to a specific group simply known as the Nine. Hagar believes these aliens are from the Ninth Dimension.

3. What was Van Halen's first number one album on the US Billboard Album charts?

Answer: 5150

Though the debate over which frontman is better can never be definitively settled, there are some hard sales facts that prove both singers were quite popular. Between Sammy or Dave (no one ever mentions Cherone, can't imagine why), Sammy took the boys all the way to number one in the album charts in 1986 with "5150", a sentimental favorite for myself.

Answer: 10

"Humans Being" was Van Halen's eleventh number one song on the Billboard US Mainstream Rock Charts. "Without You" from "Van Halen III" was the band's final number one hit from the 1990s.

5. In 1977, the band recorded demos for Gene Simmons of the band Kiss. How many songs were on this demo tape?

Answer: 25

Gene Simmons produced the band's demo tapes, which comprised of 25 songs.

6. "Act Like It Hurts", an unreleased instrumental, was recording during what album sessions?

Answer: Women and Children First

"Act Like It Hurts" is the working title of an unreleased instrumental that went into circulation in 1995. It is unknown if Roth put lyrics to the music. All circulating copies have poor sound quality.

7. During what album sessions was the outtake "I Want Some Action" recorded?

Answer: 5150

The band recorded this unreleased rocker for "5150". The song went into circulation in 1999.

8. Van Halen played what solo Sammy Hager tune on the 1995 tour, from the following list?

Answer: Eagles Fly

Eddie produced Hagar's 1987 album, "I Never Said Goodbye", which the above songs are drawn from.

9. Name the song. This song from "Van Halen II" was written in 1973 by Eddie, Alex, and Dave, before Michael Anthony joined the band.

Answer: Outta Love

This song is one of Van Halen's earliest songs, written in 1973, predating even Michael Anthony. "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" was written around the same time as "Runnin' With the Devil".

Answer: Secrets

It's hard to imagine "Secrets" on "Fair Warning", as the tone of the song doesn't match with that album at all. Roth plays the guitar intro and harmonica on "The Full Bug", a personal "Diver Down" favorite of mine.
