@cford1992 How do you download music from youtube? I would love to get some of these unreleases and burn a CD to have to listen to them. Any help is appreciated. thanks
Doesn't surprise me - the ending riff for the instrumental demo "Fresh" (see sidebar) is exactly the same as the ending riff for "Up For Breakfast", which came TWENTY years later.
i love it..unreleased and still better then pretty much anything thats come out in the last 20 years...nice job finding this and listen to how good the bass is...
Just noticed that starting at 1:18 Ed is playing the intro to the lead solo on "Get Up" with Hagar and Alex is playing one of the drum patterns to "Mean Street" at the same time. Cool!
Sounds weird without the horn section, but it definitely rocks harder than the original. Nice nod to JB in the break and it's cool that Ed didn't stray too much from Zappa's solo and the signature EVH licks he did add to it were appropriate. Really cool cover.

Van Halen is so cool. The title "Act Like It Hurts" is amazing. I and most guys learned to act like it doesn't hurt. They can truely cover the whole spectrum.
@MrMedusaLvamp , youre looking at their dicks....when all i hear is fucking great rock n roll???? Thats about a 9 on my " weird shit-o-meter", do you know a guy named Adnoydall?
@Lucicsux I love the music too...I was just admiring the view just like any "normal" guy would do when he sees a bunch of girls with their cunts and titties bustin outta their swim suits...right? What I think is weird is that you have a "weird shit-o-meter" in your head and that U go around measuring other peoples ideas to your likeing and then trying to call them out on it? Are we in church or kindergarden? I'll say and think anyfuckingthing I want to...UNDERSTAND?
This is brilliant it amazes me they dont release it , man they cld even rerecord it release it on the new cd w dave , it wld rock , some of the old stuff they didnt trelease is great . Listen to RISE , eddies solo thing , its fantastic , Eds still got it
yep... this was the problem. Problem is, dont tell the founders, the namesake of the band, the CREATOR of the music - dont tell him when he can or cant play solo's, or you end up like Dave - FIRED
oh noes some one didnt like my speaking out against the man that ruined van halen, by tryin to be in the spotlight of a band name after the guitarist/drummer
@ad30279 ruined van halen??? im sorry but who was one of the founding members. dont give me anything about how eddie sang before dave but without dave van halen would have been nowhear. eddie would be playing for some other band, still revolutionizing the way the guitar was played. the reason gene simmons picked to recored van halen over george lynch's band in the starwood is because he thought dave was a better frontman.
You can start by brushing up on your rhythm!! Because King Eddie is about RHYTHM!! Riff's come natural to those that have rhythmic quality's!! Good luck with your course and that was a free lesson!!
This is some surreal sh*t!!! This song is a hybrid it has House of Pain (1983-84), and the intro. for You're No Good (1979). Where are you getting this material? A VH fan for 30 yrs. and this is the first time I have heard this song. Thanks a bunch.
that intro kicks ass, all this old unreleased stuff is a thousand times better than these fuckin whinin fags like 3 doors down and what not put out now VH RULES
None of the so called "rock" bands today can hold a candle to the music Eddie Van Halen brewed up in his brain 30 years ago! And that's not even considering the
no talent ass clown auto tune record a whole album in 3 days rap diarrhea the
Amen to that! I play guitar (have for 20 years almost) and Eddie's style is phenomenal and extremely hard to half way copy. Plus even without the dizzying solos.. it's still kick ass rock n' roll. Something we haven't seen in years (AC/DC, Maiden, etc. still touring not part of that though).
Nice, I have played 28 years and to me its the same story. Eddie is SOO important for rock guitar. As the years go on--having experienced the 80's shred fest--Eddie's vision is still ahead of anyone now. He is like everything and nothing at the same time. Mainly because it is his own vision.
Gene Simmons did not almost play in Van Halen. He financed their first demo, Kiss was already well established as one of the biggest bads in the world, why leave Kiss to go play in some upstart club band.
Also, Eddie never thought of joining Kiss, he jammed with them once and according to Eddie they used some of his riffs in a couple of their songs.
You can like Dave or hate him, I don't care, but to say he is a lyric hog my only response is go listen to the six-pack again.
great job spotting that. The very beginning of 2:43 isn't exact but as it continues on it mimmicks the riff you noted, note for note. Trademark Eddie using and reusing riffs. I guess when your style is so defined, it is bound to happen.
It's definitely Eddie. 100%. I'd love to sit and listen to all his unreleased stuff he has stored in his studio. He could probably release 1 CD a month for the next 5 years with it all, and fans would buy 'em up.
seriously? pfft. Had nothing to do with Dave hogging lyrics. no lyrics were ever intended to be included with this outtake. It was meant as an instrumental. VH always had a clever play on Led Zep. Notice at 1:32 its the piece from House of Pain where Dave does lend his vocals. Get ur VH facts straight or dont comment just sit back and read on and learn.
yeah you are right. Dave wasn't an attention whore at all, and it had nothing to do with the fact that he had NOTHING to contribute for this song.......I know what an instrumental is. What you are hearing at 1:32 is a bass mr. mistaken. As far as "facts" go, I happen to know for a FACT that Gene Simmons almost played in Van Halen (got the demos to prove it), and Eddie talked about joining KISS when he couldn't take any more of Dave. Sorry I don't know my "facts".
Itd be cool if Eddie Van Halen released alot of this stuff. No it's not top of the charts material and the quality isnt 100% but to the collector and fans, who cares, this stuff is priceless. Thank you for sharing it. Im really suprized how much of their unreleased material, most thats never been heard, is now popping up on You Tube lately. Maybe it's Valerie
Sounds like legit VH to me. I hear parts from Women and Children First all the way up to the stuff they did on the best of with Hagar. Either way is outragous riff and very cool..Five stars!!
this is fricken brilliant , gees they shd release it on the next album with roth . some of there unreleased stuff is great , even thats why i love u is great better then half the shit on 3
no your an idiot. and that is undisputable. I only asked where is the song that went with video in this clip. And once again, you prove that kids need to stay in school.....dont worry about what I do kid.
"so where is the song that goes with the video?......lame "
might be wrong, but i think the actual audio for the video is vh lip syncing to their own songs on some danish? tv show. they did several of them, and probably a little embarassing, but maybe not.
sounds real.anybody i've heard trying to play in the vh style something is slightly off or doesn't mesh.even michael anthony's high bass note choices are there.that's one hell of a band if it's not vh because the drums and guitar are in total sync
This is most definitely Van Halen. I have a ton of the unreleased bootleg stuff and this is without a doubt Eddie's playing. One thing I notice from all the early bootlegs is how kick ass his rhythm playing is. He was just a riff monster.
hey man how the fuck can you say this is lame stuff ... dude this is vintage VAN HALEN MAN ...GOD BLESS THE BOYS IN RARE FORM THEY STILL KICK SOME MAJOR ASS.
That is not Van Halen...anybody who buys this is not a real Van Halen. That is a bunch of mish mash crap. Ed is much better than that. This isn't even recorded right for them. pretty much all of the early stuff he did was solid, great riffs. He didn't start coming out with crap like this until he got 5150 bulit...but by then his sound and the quality of recording had grown way above this. The snare in this isn't right for Al's sound either...GREAT JOB, BUT SORRY WHOEVER MADE THIS....
EVH guitars:: I guess you can't tell how obvious it is that Alex is playing the drums, or that the effect on the bass is EXACTLY like the Your'e No Good intro either... And you are a =VH= purist? Please...
This is as angry as Fair Warning and the tastiest funky rhythms you will ever enjoy hearing from Eddie V...whoever dug this up deserves a medal and whoever puts it down is an ass punching clown!
Ed must have thousands of songs that never saw the light of day. As huge a VH fan as I am I never heard this before. I do remember a song they did called Down In Flames from around 1978 that was never released but later Eddie used alot of those same riffs and ideas in their cover song You're No Good on the Van Halen II album.
there would be no zepplin without chicago blues check willie dixon hubert summlin ect...besides van halen have more of a zz top uli roth, holdsworth influence than zepplin
by Dave saying he didn't like this instrumental, that makes him sound like an asshole... this is good, Dave should have tried to make lyrics for this song
This anin't them! Listen to the exit. Not alex and eddie! I am an expert on Micheal Anthony and this is not his playing or anybody else from VH. There is a reason why there is no singing in this. Sorry!
This wouldn't have been appropriate for W&CF. I think it would haven been a better fit on Van Halen or even Van Halen II. kinda sounds like a cross between "On fire" and "House of pain" to me
Thats just it. It has too many signature traces from EVH and Mike and at 2:10 its using too many delays on a solo that is supposed to be this early. If you have listened to true VH early bootlegs its almost completely raw. This is kind a like those famous painting that people duplicate. Plus Eddie expressed how he doesn't like to much delay like U2 in interviews.
I wuld say that the only doubtful thing I took from this is Eddie's solo and how Alex drums seems to be too simplistic in there yet that's about it.Many things from here aside from the wierd solo come from 1978 and 1984 something that has Edd signature all over it.Wich is too much chores but very few slides and full hammer ons.Besides first 30 seconds of the song Mike sounds the way It shuld be IMO.Althouhg all this is just a thought cause I can't go to USA and ask Eddie himself about this.
I have been a huge fan my whole life, but this doesn't sound legit. Its great I give it that but it is too predictable. One thing I have learned about VH is any time you listen to something for the first time, you can't predict where it will go. I think this is a knock off.
The intro thing that Eddie does is so insane, where does he come up with this stuff? Shit! Amazing, that's all, amazing. The greatest guitarist ever=Edward Van Halen
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
zeppelin sucks most over-rated band ever...did nothing but blues rip offs...the only thing that held any of their music together was john bonhams drums
ok...i chose my words poorly,zeppelin doesn't suck.I just find them over-rated....black dog rocks,fool in the rain is one of my all time favorite songs...i just am tired of stairway and kashmir...half of zepps tunes bore the crap out of me,half i like...as far as knowing anything about music..i own about 300 cd's... but,you're right,i don't play an instrument and when trying to play one,i am a complete spazz
Without Zeppelin Their Would be no Van Halen. Led Zeppelin is and will always be the pioneers of Hard rock ! Dont say Deep Purple they were later Sabbath to do Sabbath is great. Zeppelin took Blues or blues rock and made hard rock out of it. they might be booring but dont talk shit about zeppelin thats just something you dont do
True my friend. However, the difference with Eddie and Jimmy Page is that Eddie revolutionized the way we approach rock guitar much in the same way Hendrix did before him. I do think the two guitarists have different strengths. Jimmy had a gift at creating and orchestrating his ideas in the studio while no one can argue the virtuosic 'chops' Eddie has as a live performer (Eddie is on record speaking to this point as well).
always one goin on about zeppelin, two different bands, Eddie done something for guitar that page didn't. there's no comparison different bands, you could sit and say "without this there would be no" all fkn day.
92% of teens have moved on to rap! if ur still one of the 8% that still listens to real music then copy and paste this comment into 1 other video box
there are alot of sites to get van halen bootlegs. these are actually common songs on the bootleg forums. just go to google and type van halen bootleg
No, this was NOT reworked to become "House of Pain" I have demos of House of Pain from 1976. The original version hit a lot harder that the one on 1984. House of Pain was reworked some, but it orgignally had the same main riff and never sounded anything like this song.
This has become Honeybabysweetiedoll on the new album. If you loved this but hated that it never got released. Your prayers were just answered. :)

"so where is the song that goes with the video?......lame "
might be wrong, but i think the actual audio for the video is vh lip syncing to their own songs on some danish? tv show. they did several of them, and probably a little embarassing, but maybe not.

sounds real.anybody i've heard trying to play in the vh style something is slightly off or doesn't mesh.even michael anthony's high bass note choices are there.that's one hell of a band if it's not vh because the drums and guitar are in total sync

This is most definitely Van Halen. I have a ton of the unreleased bootleg stuff and this is without a doubt Eddie's playing. One thing I notice from all the early bootlegs is how kick ass his rhythm playing is. He was just a riff monster.

That is not Van Halen...anybody who buys this is not a real Van Halen. That is a bunch of mish mash crap. Ed is much better than that. This isn't even recorded right for them. pretty much all of the early stuff he did was solid, great riffs. He didn't start coming out with crap like this until he got 5150 bulit...but by then his sound and the quality of recording had grown way above this. The snare in this isn't right for Al's sound either...GREAT JOB, BUT SORRY WHOEVER MADE THIS....

Ed must have thousands of songs that never saw the light of day. As huge a VH fan as I am I never heard this before. I do remember a song they did called Down In Flames from around 1978 that was never released but later Eddie used alot of those same riffs and ideas in their cover song You're No Good on the Van Halen II album.

That riff that starts at 1:28 (or there abouts) ended up at the tail end of house of pain on 1984. This is okay, it ain't great.

iownallnoobs 3 years ago 2
This wouldn't have been appropriate for W&CF. I think it would haven been a better fit on Van Halen or even Van Halen II. kinda sounds like a cross between "On fire" and "House of pain" to me
wwemagazine 3 years ago
This sounds good, but not as good as the rest of Women and Children first. I love that album it's very underrated.
I would almost have to agree with Dave, this sounds like a Zeppelin/Boston song or something.
Of course the guitar is Eddie's signature sound but the song structure isn't a lot like VH.
ACEDIMEMUSTAINE 3 years ago 2
Thats just it. It has too many signature traces from EVH and Mike and at 2:10 its using too many delays on a solo that is supposed to be this early. If you have listened to true VH early bootlegs its almost completely raw. This is kind a like those famous painting that people duplicate. Plus Eddie expressed how he doesn't like to much delay like U2 in interviews.
jjbbuu 3 years ago
I wuld say that the only doubtful thing I took from this is Eddie's solo and how Alex drums seems to be too simplistic in there yet that's about it.Many things from here aside from the wierd solo come from 1978 and 1984 something that has Edd signature all over it.Wich is too much chores but very few slides and full hammer ons.Besides first 30 seconds of the song Mike sounds the way It shuld be IMO.Althouhg all this is just a thought cause I can't go to USA and ask Eddie himself about this.
BurnRoddy 3 years ago
I have been a huge fan my whole life, but this doesn't sound legit. Its great I give it that but it is too predictable. One thing I have learned about VH is any time you listen to something for the first time, you can't predict where it will go. I think this is a knock off.

Without Zeppelin Their Would be no Van Halen. Led Zeppelin is and will always be the pioneers of Hard rock ! Dont say Deep Purple they were later Sabbath to do Sabbath is great. Zeppelin took Blues or blues rock and made hard rock out of it. they might be booring but dont talk shit about zeppelin thats just something you dont do
Trashmetalmilitia 3 years ago
True my friend. However, the difference with Eddie and Jimmy Page is that Eddie revolutionized the way we approach rock guitar much in the same way Hendrix did before him. I do think the two guitarists have different strengths. Jimmy had a gift at creating and orchestrating his ideas in the studio while no one can argue the virtuosic 'chops' Eddie has as a live performer (Eddie is on record speaking to this point as well).

always one goin on about zeppelin, two different bands, Eddie done something for guitar that page didn't. there's no comparison different bands, you could sit and say "without this there would be no" all fkn day.

No, this was NOT reworked to become "House of Pain" I have demos of House of Pain from 1976. The original version hit a lot harder that the one on 1984. House of Pain was reworked some, but it orgignally had the same main riff and never sounded anything like this song.
