Van Halen Put Out The Lights from their 1978 demo "zero"

I know Gene produced this and all, but it kinda has a KISS sound to it. Very 70's, I can hear the Aerosmith resemblence as well. 70's Aerosmith sound + KISS sound + VH Creativity = Awesome song. I agree with the Van Halen Zero idea

Wow. Great, great song. Eddie really should clean these demos up (sonically, fixing any dropout or EQ fluctuations from the 30+ year old tapes - not altering any of the performances) and release this as an official Van Halen rarities album. Yeah, call it Van Halen Zero, that would work.

They should just release this next...VH will always ROCK everyone's socks off.

It's a little Aerosmith-ish, but that's good stompin' ground... They surely kicked Simmons ass on this demo!!

A bit of D.O.A riff in there

They shouldn't even redo these..just clean em' up in the studio and release as you indicated . Best of VH 1 Sessions (Zero). You can't recreate that youthful magic. That is PURE VAN HALEN

I totally agree with you. Clean up the original demos, not sugarcoat it and I think it should be named Van Halen Zero (the demo sessions). Of course, thats up for debate with the VH band members.

I wonder if I can download these songs on Limewire?

they should name their next album "Zero" and include these never before released songs or make a Van Halen "Best of Van Halen II" album.

Without all the crazy reverb like they did on the debut, the production sounds more like 1984 era
