When is the tour and new album gonna happen?? I saw them on the 07-08 tour in New Orleans. It rocked ofcourse!! Jamie's Cryin and Running with the Devil were killer. Unchained was pretty damn good too!!

[EliCurrent]

I wish this was on the new album:( man:(

[vanhalen515084]

this is such a great van halen song, hope to hear this on there new album, that would kick ass

[reviewteen]

Guys this is actually a demo from 1976.

[tylerdurden3891]

I hear a lot of talk of the *supposed* new VH album that it's gonna sound like early VH. I REALLY hope this song, or something like it makes it onto the album. There's SO MUCH great unreleased stuff they did from roughly 1973-1977 that people NEED to hear. These gems cannot and should not be lost over time. Thanks for keeping this stuff alive!!

@tylerdurden3891

Its going to be hard to sound like original VH without Mike. I hope the new album is good as well but disappointed they have dubbed it like their old music without Iron Mike.

[tylerdurden3891]

@MrJobu73 To me it's just a shame that people (some Vh fans included) didn't appreciate how important Mike was to the band until after he was gone, as the old cliche' goes.

[bbutters2]

@tylerdurden3891 It's like that awesome Cinderella song "Don't Know What You Got Til It's Gone"!

[Jblaylock777]

Agreed it does sound a lot like Ted nugent

[mikr671]

you keep it rockin kid

[wizzzeeee]

Want some more of this song, huh?

[Yapostadodat]

Eddie don't mess.

[zzyzxx13]

Sounds a lot like mid-70's Ted Nugent.

[nitroangus23]

Best Song Never Made.

Dave sounds so young here,despite it being a '78 demo.

Love It, Put It On The Next Album you fuckers...

[Frankopinion]

This FUCKIN ROCKS!!!!

The poster at 2:08 reveals the future Van Halen vocalist.

[DarthKazi]

It's a conspiracy that this song was held back. Scientists using Chuck Norris as a test victim (RIP, Chuck), realized this song, properly produced and mastered would have killed everybody who heard it. In fact..gafdgjqrid

[glueforall]

Pre-tapping Eddie...I think Eddie started the tapping in '77? This is probably summer of '76

[havertrace]

Mindblowing!

[515OVanHalen515O]

this is funny, this is such cool stuff, i bet this album could of sold a shit load, idk if it would of out done ther 15 million seller VH I but u never no

[ginobasile]

Hey Everyone,

This is from 1976 - Gene Simmons financed demos.

Thanks!

[aNdYmAtTeR]

Put this and some of those other great tracks on a remixed and SENISIBLE remastered "Van Halen Zero" album!!!

[smithdsmit]

Man I didn't want that one to end. what a rocker

[RastaCole]

wow that solo was phenomenal...

[ac71952]

this song is fucking awesome!

[slingkey]

Ed doesn't have his signature tone in this one at all. Really unusual to hear Halen without it.

[pavonini]

Amazing tune , Love it , and will Love the Mighty Van Halen Forever ; this same version posted before by someone else is shorter , you can´t hear that wonderful ending that you hear in this one , Thanks a lot and peace to all VH hardcore fans all around the World !

[515OVanHalen515O]

go VH

[romeosdelight]

great song! I heard this was once named something different...maybe "Lady Loose"? Either way, thanks for the post man.

[bornbrit777]

Sweet. Glad you like it. I'm posting more in the very near future.

[dunskie]

I frigging love that picture of Alex on the drums in the studio with the BIG hair. Just a rocking rolling kid at the time.

Thanks for putting this stuff up here dude. I've never heard any of this old shit.

5 stars.
