Read it. Know it. Live it. Highly recommended." rockandbluesmuse.com “Van Halen’s 1978 debut LP was, as former Kerrang! editor Brannigan puts it, the essence of teenage: ‘Fast cars and loose morals, cheerleaders, cheeseburgers and cocaine, Daisy Dukes, bikini tops, bongs and broken curfews’.” UNCUT 7/10 Look out too for Brannigan’s fully updated and expanded 2021 edition of his best-selling Dave Grohl biography This Is A Call : The Life and Times of Dave Grohl, available now.
