THE BEAT GOGS ON

Van Halen: In Search Off The Baaad Chord NEW YORK—"I sure feel sorry for Mr. and Mrs. Van Halen, having to listen to that being rehearsed in the basement... "—random reaction to Van Halen's New York debut at The Palladium, 3/25/78. Face the facts, kiddos, when it comes to heavy rock and roll—y'know, the kind of stuff that sounds like a herd of dinosaurs engaging in some prehistoric S&M—a little bit of calculated outrageousness goes a long way.
