Van Halen News Desk has posted a review (including photos) of Van Halen's album release celebrations on February 1st at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood. Check it out at this location.
As reported by LATimes.com, Wednesday night (February 1st) at Henson Studios in Hollywood, a reunited Van Halen transformed real estate constructed in the silent film era by Charlie Chaplin into a high-tech rehearsal space and banged out a handful of very loud jams, old and new, for a few hundred VIPs as a launch party for their new album, A Different Kind Of Truth.
David Lee Roth acknowledged the venue's history between songs: "It's a little bit crazy making so much noise in the temple of silent film here, in the name of Charlie Chaplin." Roth then added a little made-up history: "Most people don't know Charlie Chaplin was a major Van Halen fan. He inspired 'Hot for Teacher,' which we're going to play in a little while."
