I believe the story was that he asked a mutual friend,,,Steve Lukather, maybe (?)...to see if he could meet Glen and talk shop with him.

I was lucky enough to see VH 3 times, including the awesome Monsters of Rock tour. A great show each time. We used to cruise the mall parking lot in my Z28 with my Alpine cranked to 11, blasting OU812, 5150, and 1984. VH, along with Def Leppard and Guns N Roses, were essentially my high school soundtrack. RIP Eddie.
