who the hell did this song originally?

[zackvanhalen]

@MrMattyHaze Van Halen.

Is this not Red Ball Jet? Got a bootleg of them doing Crosstown Traffic by Hendrix too.

[zackvanhalen]

@Gordfozzfoster No, this is Van Halen.

This song is supposedly from their first ever demo from 1973. Mike joined in 1974. The origional bassist was Mark Stone. I'm pretty sure this was back when the had a keyboard player in the band. There is another song on this demo that has keys in it. There is a slight chance I could be wrong though.

Amazing guitar playing with a killlertone. I wish music was like this to day more. It sounds like his influenced by Johnny Winter. I wish someone could put out more early demos.

1:34-204 reminds me of The Who's Live at Leeds Overture/Underture...quite a bit.....

@santageoc I think it is actually a well known fact that DLR was in a band called Red Ball Jet. I read that info way before you could read all kinds of facts on the web. It wouldn't even surprise me if i read it in a Guitar World band timeline or in some rock almanak.

[LedWilde]

They should have recorded this for one of their VH albums.

[santageoc]

David L. R joined before Michael A. True fact. As soon as they hit the Sunset strip is when Mark Stone left...(was asked to leave nicely). Too much drugs and booze. Just the facts people....

[santageoc]

@Gordfozzfoster Did U grow up in Pasadena, CA? Only a handfull know that David L. R. was in Red Ball Jet as the singer before VH band. Eddie never played with RBJ! I lived three houses from EVH when we were kids until signed with WB. Never heard him do Crosstown Traffic in my life. Would love to hear that one!
