I lived through the Eighties (barely) without once hearing Van Halen referred to as "Halen." Is that a Millennial (or whatever the hell you fledglings call yourselves) thing ?

in the 'burbs I heard plenty of hesher dumbasses refer to them as "halen" in the eighties.

doesn't make it right, though.

I proudly grew up hesher in SE Portland in the day, with a Showcase Music 1/2shirt circa 1985 to show for it, and quite often heard Van Halen referred to as "Halen", similar to Black Sabbath being referred to as simply "Sabbath".

OK, OK, maybe I just blocked it from my memory, along with the aftermath of that 1983 New Year's Party OH CHRIST IT'S ALL STARTING TO COME BACK TO ME NOW!

Please wait...
