- From Wikipedia: "According to a January 4, 1977, L.A. Times article entitled HOMEGROWN PUNK by Robert Hilburn,[12] Rodney Bingenheimer saw Van Halen at the Gazzarri club in the summer of 1976, so he took Gene Simmons of Kiss to see Van Halen. Gene Simmons then produced a Van Halen demo tape with recording beginning at the Village Recorder studios in Los Angeles and finished with overdubs at the Electric Lady Studios in New York.[8] Simmons wanted to change the band's name to "Daddy Longlegs", but the band stuck with Van Halen. Simmons then opted out of further involvement after he took the demo to Kiss management and was told that "they had no chance of making it" and that they wouldn't take them."

Never has a background singer made such an impact on a group as Michael Anthony. Amazingness.
Van Halen , here in their early days , Raw , in your face & unpolished , was what us teens needed RIGHT THEN!! I was 16 in ‘76 & when they hit it big with their release nationwide , they blew up the airwaves all over . A total “ Fingerprint “ band if there ever was one , Like Jimi, the “ Mighty Zep” and a few others who came before them, when you heard the music begin you knew INSTANTLY it was V.H. , and none other . R.I.P. Eddie . You gave generations music that will never be forgotten. 👍👍
On Fire
Hendrix was only gone for 5 - 6 years when this was recorded. That means :
OMG!! this brings back SOOOO.. many memories!! LOL I remember when everybody was blown away, "Who is THIS"???? Right on, thanks for this classic post!! :)
Everyone sounds KILLER and Dave sounded UNREAL. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SH*T!!!!!
RIP Eddie!!! You got me through high school and further!! Never stopped listening since 1976! You are the God of guitars!! 🎸🔊🎶🎶
I can't start listening to this without listening to the whole half hour.
God I feel so old sometimes, in 1976, I was 10 years old since I just turned 50 last March , that makes this soundtrack 40 years old, Blows my mind.
I was a junior in HS when VH1 came out and it's hard to describe the impact it had on guys like me, who loved metal. They blew the whole thing wide open. This was before the internet and everyone in Boston was trying to get information on who the hell these guys were. When they finally came to town and we saw them live, it was insane. They were the quintessential So Cal band and their music seemed embody that.
On Fire
Cool to hear what they sounded like before they got big and had professional sound and recording. What a difference .
This is the best early VAN Halen I’ve heard so far and I’ve heard a few soundboards and demo recordings. This seems polished up more , clean and clear. It definitely sounds amazing. These guys were born to ROCK. and rock us all THEY DID !
One of the greatest rock acts ever. Where have all the good times gone?
I respect Alex Van Halen - Even on this demo (and every recording since) his drum sound is immediately distinct and recognizable. I saw VH in ... The tour supporting the second album - here in Seattle at the Coliseum.
Best band ever. Van Halen saved the rock music scene in the 80s
Wonderful tribute ! May you soar in heaven with rocking angels ! God bless your kind soul Eddie !
This show the GREAT importance of a good producer. Like him or not Ted knew how to formulate
Great Demo! They sounded like they were on Fire 🔥!
I am so glad I was raised in the generation with such incredible raw talent. Great tunage!
