Awesome hearing Al's intro beat to AFU dates so far back. I have a feeling all of this stuff is leaked from the Warner Bros Sunset Sound studio project from a few years back. Engineer Brian Kehew was interviewed at Sunset Sound a couple years ago and he worked on the project for WB and he said there was 4 or 5 cds worth of usable recordings all ready for release. WB is basically just sitting on it waiting for AVH's go ahead for release. Just incredible the amount of amazing music the original band wrote and recorded in such a short period of time.
Eddie is just like gilmour in the sense that he knows how to set the echo repeat speed and time just right to the reverb depth, and ride that wave all the way in. Thats why he sounds so thick and deep.
This is the VH gold we’ve been waiting for! Amazing - and where is it coming from? Shocking that Warner Bros isn’t packaging this, but having it available is a huge gift to all fanatics. Awesome.
Alex not doing anything proves yet another lie from his propaganda book saying the Halen Bros were only about $ . Ed was Alex's other half is best way I could describe Alex . He never could care only about $ , he just doesn't want to get ripped off anymore .
Please put out as much of your own snippets, and I’m in CPA. ❤ Nothing beats the G.O.A.T, and I agree life just got a helluva lot better in a heart beat! Seriously though if your whole story is out there somewhere….show me the path! 🫡❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
And Wolfie says there's nothing that he knows of that's worth releasing. He could make an albums worth of instrumental things like this and we'd buy it up like there's no tomorrow.
What he doesn't understand, and neither does Alex, this is exactly what fans want. It's rough and raw and it's not perfect but, (beautifully perfect in every way). Fans crave this because it's the band building songs and experimenting. Van Halen was so F'n awesome in so many ways, that we need to hear how it came together, how it worked. For the love of God I can't fathom why they don't understand this. There is everything musical about the unreleased stuff, warts and all. We all got the perfected VH with the albums, now give us the foundation of all eras of the unreleased studio demos. There is ZERO wrong with it. Wolf and Al could release 3 or 4 things a year of this type of stuff and 1. make a monetary killing from it and 2. keeping the Van Halen name relevant for newer generations to discover this incredible band. And that being said, this current generation is discovering Van Halen and they truly love what they're hearing. Edward's playing and song writing is really catching on still and these demos, studio videos etc...........is wanted, needed and has to be done, PERIOD.
@@chuckhalen9543 Agreed. I feel the same about not playing any VH music at this point. He has established himself and his sound now. Give the fans what they crave. Do it for the fans Wolfie. We'll love you even more than we do already.
@@RachelAnneAmbrose but people are missing something here. All these recently unearthed recordings are from the SUNSET SOUND recording era.( 1977-1983). NOT the 5150 recording era (1984-1998) which was Ed’s studio with him owning all the old tapes.
Ah man, that guitar sound takes me way back....I remember how we all got excited when each new album came out, wondering what Eddie had thought up next. Hearing this guitar sound again brings all the memories back. R.I.P Ed
I miss the spongey sound he got with the Marshall on those first 6 albums.It got too processed on the first two albums with Sammy,and by the 90’s he switched amps and guitars altogether.He always had great tone but those first 6 albums were just unreal
Begging my mom to take me to the mall to buy the new Van Halen cassette the day it came out, and we walk to the case and see a baby smoking a cigarette. LOL. She still let me buy it, thankfully.
Man..I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about their music that explodes with energy...always sounds like they going to blow right through the speakers...just fantastic
That first instrumental I would pay $500 for alone on iTunes. We will look back to Eddie and Van Halen’s recordings like many look back to Beethoven, Bach, Beatles, and other monumental Musicians of their time. I listen to these recordings, albums, and anything Van Halen I can get my hands on with a smile on my face as I enjoy the greatest guitarist who ever lived on this planet. Thanks for everything Eddie. We miss you forever.
These instrumentals are a testament to DLR's genius, as well. Who can honestly say they would hear these instrumental tracks and think of the Melodies and harmonies that Dave put on top of them?
What I'm afraid of hearing from Alex and the current VH camp is the whole "If we'd have wanted it released, we'd have released it" thing. Which I understand somewhat, but they don't have to worry about making a bad impression or anything! They already won, they're legends. Releasing stuff like this could be a great thank you to fans, showing some of the material that evolved into the music that we already know and love. Just my 2¢.
Hearing this unreleased unrealized music takes me to a different time and place when things weren't so hair trigger angry. You hear this and are uplifted to the happiest of places. Miss you Ed! RIP
I could listen to these instrumental outlaws for hours. Even outtakes of stuff that never saw the light of day. Don’t care on raw and disorganized they are! Long live EVH!
I was thinking the same thing. Would VH be what it was without Mikey? From being in many bands myself over 3 decades and told a killer guitarist myself, I'm going to say nope. Having a Mikey on rhythm allowed Eddie to explore and be creative. Mikey and Alex were an amazing rhythm section.
Footage might be coming soon aswell, a channel popped up claiming to be noel monks son, he said that his father had the copyright to alot the footage and left it all to him
Wow.. early rough takes of Jamie's Crying, Fools and Dance the Night Away..You can hear how Ted Templeman molded and structured them. Ted Templeman was such a huge part of developing the Van Halen signature sound.
I love the DTNA riff. Hearing it so raw with all the little changes, full bass, the crescendo into the chorus... just unassailable energy. MORE OF THIS PLEASE
TRUE THAT! Years ago, when EVH was going through his share of lead vocalists, he must've been still working on music and ideas. I believe we're all wanting to hear the EVH 5150 vault of treasures.
This is GOLD man. Ive heard really crappy like 5th generation dubs or alternate takes of some of this, but this is grade A stuff and it's amazing. Would love to know how this stuff is coming out after all these years! Very grateful we are able to hear it!
Man I love the way Alex plays the hi-hat. I’ve been drumming forever 40 years.. it all started when I heard Vh-1. This actually made me tear up. RIP Eddie. You left us gold. Wonderful.
Eddie stated in a interview at 5150, that the wall of tapes are filled with many unleashed songs and of course of them having a great time. The Tandy computer had all the information of the reels. Unfortunately, the computer crashed.
Bro the first two tracks… fucking speechless. Like tapping into pure joy of why I started playing guitar. Eventually these tracks & more will be released. It’s just a matter of time. None of this shit was out even 10 years ago on YT. Thank you for sharing.
I can't believe this stuff on TH-cam!! This is an absolute treasure. This is exactly what I want to hear. I want more of this. Do you hear me Wolfie???!!!!
Wonder if Ed’s son is letting some of this stuff out to keep VH fans happy and engaged. Bet this generates more interest than the recently released remastered box set
I absolutely agree with some of the previous comments: how the hell is this not making it onto albums I can buy and listen to over and over again? AVH or Wolfe; release these demos/previously unreleased tracks-they will be instant platinum albums!
I can’t help myself and I must get this off my chest I’ve been listening to all the leaked Outtakes more than the new Remasters . Wolf or Alex please show some respect to all the fans that made you so rich and open the Vaults!
Alex drives the ship.Its all up to him,why would he want to release unfinished demos,I love these recordings,lucky someone leaked ,we'll get small bits n pieces of recordings posted but thats it,Alex will never agree to official release any new meterial,This is as good as it gets,personally I prefer it love the mix,no vocals you can hear the effects on the bass for once lol.Its awesome The mighy VH.
I always figured these recordings were out there somewhere. Thanks for letting us that appreciate fine music finally hear these studio recordings. Hard not to turn it way up.
Wow - this is all pure gold... especially the first track - totally smoking!!! Sounds to be around Fair Warning / Diver Down time frame... Makes you wonder how much of this stuff is hanging around 5150 waiting to be released to VH fans, jesus christ - what a gift this is !!! Wherever it came from, thank you 👍
This is great to hear - an insight into the boys playing around with time signatures and remaining tight - delving into an edgy progressive rock style, at the beginning anyway and Alex adds the Drop Dead Legs roll to boot (0:57) - perhaps this is what worried DLR, that he would've had to put lyrics to prog-rock tunes if the boys were gravitating towards that style. But these are probably the sonic ideas he was hearing and trying to push away from... which would lead to the tension. Love how they were always about dynamics, varying tempos within tunes, changing it up from harsh to subtle, soft to hard and vice versa. Incredible talent... incredible sound... incredible compositions and sonic ideas! Van Halen... mighty indeed!

It really amazing how many of their songs were demos recorded before the 1st album and they wound up on later albums.

Release all tracks before we that love them kick the bucket. Few youngsters care.
and just like that , life got better.
Hearing eds energy is amazing!
Yes Sir!!! It certainly did!!! Stomping my heel and catch the audio buzz this UNMISTAKABLY !!!
VAN DAMN HALEN !!!
Agreed 👍
That’s the sound right there 🎸
Please put out as much of your own snippets, and I’m in CPA. ❤
Nothing beats the G.O.A.T, and I agree life just got a helluva lot better in a heart beat!
Seriously though if your whole story is out there somewhere….show me the path! 🫡❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
No Dave. No Sammy. Pure Van Halen. AWESOME!
This is just what us Van Halen fanatics want to hear. This stuff is just gold!
Nothing but magic
That first recording. Jesus Christ. Just guitar, bass and drums and it's epic. Long live the mighty Van Halen
Amen! It has been on repeat, now trying to learn it🔥🤘🎸
They should re-release every album instrumental only. Avoid the sam vs dave BS and we get to hear all the little EVH gems hidden in there.
@@sweetwilliam5150 that would be amazing 🔥
absolutely!!!!!
Left over song from Van Halen 2.

@@thomascullenjr544dude. Enjoy and be grateful for the evolution of sound. He took us on a tone journey for two straight decades
Man..I can't put my finger on exactly what it is about their music that explodes with energy...always sounds like they going to blow right through the speakers...just fantastic
They play with extreme confidence and authority, even when they're just jamming and figuring things out
I always attributed it to a brother thing....due to their upbringing and training they swing.
Smiles, smiles, smiles! Look at all those photos of ED back then, pure unbridled love for music! He'd rather do nothing more than play! Cheers!
I know what it is…they’re just good! Also original, now everything sucks and is derivative
thats it@@wallywallace7410

All these tracks surfacing lately have multi album potential. I’ve been listening to a bunch of it in recent weeks and I’m literally blown away.
Say WHAT now!??! There's more of this? Where can it be found?
@@drew_peabawls13 “eyes of the night “ album by Van Halen before they were signed in 77’
NOT literally. If you were literally blown away, then your guts would be all over the place.
Ed’s voice through the guitar as fresh as ever - so sad we lost the king of guitar
When bands talk about the "big" sound this is what they mean. Both instrumentals are just massive sounding.
Eddie’s instrumentals were the best I just wish we had moreeee
These instrumentals are a testament to DLR's genius, as well. Who can honestly say they would hear these instrumental tracks and think of the Melodies and harmonies that Dave put on top of them?
So true!
Saw DLR on his first solo tour and he sucked. His singing was horrible
@@ptech88True. Compared to what you pulled off on all your tours, Dave's a hack.
Sammy smoked dave vocally
You have got to be kidding me. I could listen to hours of this. This band was simply genius.
My GOD this first song is right up there with anything they ever did!!!
Again and again we are reminded ED was the Greatest. It is so humbling.
What I'm afraid of hearing from Alex and the current VH camp is the whole "If we'd have wanted it released, we'd have released it" thing. Which I understand somewhat, but they don't have to worry about making a bad impression or anything! They already won, they're legends.

I bet deep down that's why his death hit so many,so hard.
That first track is as good as anything I’ve ever heard from early VH. Holy smokes that gave me goosebumps.
I could listen to these instrumental outlaws for hours. Even outtakes of stuff that never saw the light of day. Don’t care on raw and disorganized they are! Long live EVH!
One of the Best days of my adult life hearing these in perfect quality!!! VH5150
yes and yes..keep your hagar the horrible box set and release this now!!!!! why wolf!?!
Thoughts Exactly!!🤘🤘 Man...now I'm reallly having a hard time buyin' that there's nothing in the vaults...
Tell me about it my fellow Van Halenite! It’s pure bliss! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😮
Mikey sounds really good.
I was thinking the same thing. Would VH be what it was without Mikey? From being in many bands myself over 3 decades and told a killer guitarist myself, I'm going to say nope. Having a Mikey on rhythm allowed Eddie to explore and be creative. Mikey and Alex were an amazing rhythm section.
His vocals and deep in the pocket bass really gave Eddie's riffs their secret punch.
More will be coming out and this will push the movement to open the vault !
Footage might be coming soon aswell, a channel popped up claiming to be noel monks son, he said that his father had the copyright to alot the footage and left it all to him
@@bigbigy58what's the channel? Can you put a link here?
Awesome !!! God bless the Mighty Van Halen !!!
Wow.. early rough takes of Jamie's Crying, Fools and Dance the Night Away..You can hear how Ted Templeman molded and structured them. Ted Templeman was such a huge part of developing the Van Halen signature sound.
Love hearing Mike's bass. A lot of songs you hear it a little.
I love the DTNA riff. Hearing it so raw with all the little changes, full bass, the crescendo into the chorus... just unassailable energy. MORE OF THIS PLEASE
Eddie’s life force coming through loud and clear. Long live VH!!!!
I'm in joyous tears hearing new OG Van Halen in perfect quality.
We've bern lied to since 1978.
Thank you for releasing these.
Lied too?
“A different kind of truth” was all old demo’s brought back to life!
Dance the night away is a beautiful piece of music .
Its so relaxed and easygoing.
It's what separates Ed from the rest. He could write a catchy melody. He probably would have written Happy Birthday if he was around 200 years ago.
THE MASTER ! NOBODY SWINGS LIKE EVH !
Just keep listening to all the Ted recordings over and over on high quality system.. Food for the soul !
The versions I've heard of this stuff sounded like it was a 15th generation mono cassette. Thanks for putting this up.
The bass in the 2nd track! 😻🥰😍
Wowww !!! EDDIE ,ALEX AND MICHAEL , MASTERS OF ROCK ,LEGENDS
Just WOW! This is incredible stuff!! God only knows what glory awaits us in the EVH vault! RIP, King of Six Strings 🙏🏼😔
TRUE THAT! Years ago, when EVH was going through his share of lead vocalists, he must've been still working on music and ideas.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Omg.....this was absolutely orgasmic to hear them raw and uncut like that in a studio, eternally greatful for sharing this.
I can listen to these all night Man I miss Eddie….this is a gift from Eddie, the band and to us all…thank you for posting these…more please of you em…
The intro to “Fools” is epic.
Man I love the way Alex plays the hi-hat. I’ve been drumming forever 40 years.. it all started when I heard
Vh-1. This actually made me tear up. RIP Eddie. You left us gold. Wonderful.
Dude, wherever you got these, there’s gotta be more. VH fans would pay mad cash to hear where our faves of life came from. Please! ♥️🎸
The first track is pure magic - not like messy Steve Vai style, just plain straightforward instrumental composition. What a genius.
Not to take anything away from Steve Vai or Nuno Bettencourt, but they always seem like they’re trying to hard for people to realize their genius.
@SuperGaleford it's all about melody. Not fun to listen to if there isn't any.
Such great musicianship. Ed was so much more than a great guitar player.
Eddie stated in a interview at 5150, that the wall of tapes are filled with many unleashed songs and of course of them having a great time. The Tandy computer had all the information of the reels. Unfortunately, the computer crashed.
Awesome, damn feels like that rush id get hearing a new VH album. Michael Anthony kicking ass on bass too. Just saying
Michael Anthony is so under rated
His backup vocals are amazing too!
Alex really in the pocket on that second song. Bravo gents!
soooo xmas just came early for us EVH tone junkies !! awesome stuff !!!
Bro the first two tracks… fucking speechless. Like tapping into pure joy of why I started playing guitar. Eventually these tracks & more will be released. It’s just a matter of time. None of this shit was out even 10 years ago on YT. Thank you for sharing.
Alex...this is what happens when u don't release things from the vault. This is magic!
Tapping with the pick @ 2:05 . This stuff is gold Jerry. Thanks for posting.
That's called a trill.
@@zapster2412111 It's a trill technically, but he's using pick tapping to do it. Even Eddie couldn't trill that fast with one hand.
Round Tine!!!!
I can't believe this stuff on TH-cam!! This is an absolute treasure. This is exactly what I want to hear. I want more of this. Do you hear me Wolfie???!!!!
This shit makes me so happy to be as old as I am (60) to have
grown up in the age of the mighty
Van Halen
Their tone is so fucking good! Spongy is the word coming to mind lol
I could listen to all of his material all day and NEVER get tired if it
Cannot stop listening! Just makes me happy to have these full-blast and on repeat. 😊
2:54 What kind of sorcery IS THIS ???? 😮😮😮
Wonder if Ed’s son is letting some of this stuff out to keep VH fans happy and engaged.
Bet this generates more interest than the recently released remastered box set
I m thinking the same.
I absolutely agree with some of the previous comments: how the hell is this not making it onto albums I can buy and listen to over and over again? AVH or Wolfe; release these demos/previously unreleased tracks-they will be instant platinum albums!
Brings a tear to my eye. Thank you VH for all your great music you gave the world
A.F.U. (Naturally Wired) intro!!!
Awesome! Thanks! "Act like it hurts" !
Van Halen forever ♥️
Please upload more of these gems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t help myself and I must get this off my chest I’ve been listening to all the leaked Outtakes more than the new Remasters . Wolf or Alex please show some respect to all the fans that made you so rich and open the Vaults!
Both performance and sound quality are high quality.👍🙏
Made my Friday night stumbling across this gem!!! Thanks so much for posting god bless EVH
So awesome! The second song "Red Zone 2 INST" has been circulating for years as "Act like it Hurts", but this version is slightly different.
Alex drives the ship.Its all up to him,why would he want to release unfinished demos,I love these recordings,lucky someone leaked ,we'll get small bits n pieces of recordings posted but thats it,Alex will never agree to official release any new meterial,This is as good as it gets,personally I prefer it love the mix,no vocals you can hear the effects on the bass for once lol.Its awesome
The mighy VH.
This song puts goosebumps on my arms.
The DTNA tracks at the end are awesome. That song has such a stratospheric groove. Great stuff!
I always figured these recordings were out there somewhere. Thanks for letting us that appreciate fine music finally hear these studio recordings. Hard not to turn it way up.
This is prime evidence of an incredibly tight band.
Damn ! Incredibly tight !! 3 piece band. My favorite of all time
Incredible stuff ! I could listen to it all day
Thunderdude - I love you SO much. I've never heard this stuff and I'm just melting right now. THANK YOU!!!!
Incredible... Please more! Sound IS fantastic! Thx!!!
First track is killer old school VH! Focking luv it!!!
I can hear the excellent bass work here. The albums did not seem to capture the bass parts like these recordings.
The bass tone was always underrated on albums.. it's crazy.
I Wonder when Eddie had time it to teach Michael all these bass lines
Wow - this is all pure gold... especially the first track - totally smoking!!! Sounds to be around Fair Warning / Diver Down time frame... Makes you wonder how much of this stuff is hanging around 5150 waiting to be released to VH fans, jesus christ - what a gift this is !!! Wherever it came from, thank you 👍
Just amazing stuff. I love that nasty little intro to Jamie‘s crying!
This made my day. Thanks for posting this. Hearing the brothers so locked in together is awesome.
Gosh, I miss “The Mighty Van Halen” - they had it all going on, like no one else. RIP EVH.
Everyone has to get our hands on these recordings and demand it...
they always sound better with michael higher in the mix, but then in the final mixes he always
gets lost.
I have to agree. We can hear how good of a bassist he really was. I love the tone and feel of it all
This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! ALL OF IT!! AWESOME MUSIC!!
Thank you Thunderdude, I was unaware "Act Like It Hurts" was also known as "Red Zone."
Amazing stuff!!!! Have heard other versions of these.
I love the first song with just a touch of flanger on it. Or is it a phase 90?
@@thomasjefferson3481 I think both.
@@JohnnyBeaneI hear bits of "A.F.U. (Naturally Wired)", "House of Pain", and "The Seventh Seal" in the first song Johnny, don't you?
I’m trapped in a Van Halen vault-a-thon… and that’s ok with me.
Got that right. Sitting here with guitar in hand right now listening
This is great to hear - an insight into the boys playing around with time signatures and remaining tight - delving into an edgy progressive rock style, at the beginning anyway and Alex adds the Drop Dead Legs roll to boot (0:57) - perhaps this is what worried DLR, that he would've had to put lyrics to prog-rock tunes if the boys were gravitating towards that style. But these are probably the sonic ideas he was hearing and trying to push away from... which would lead to the tension. Love how they were always about dynamics, varying tempos within tunes, changing it up from harsh to subtle, soft to hard and vice versa. Incredible talent... incredible sound... incredible compositions and sonic ideas! Van Halen... mighty indeed!
This displays there musicianShip simple put no one past or present cold touch Van Halen
The brothers were great. Fools was gritty and angry with the put your shoulder into it groove
Sends chills down my spine listening to these gems 50 effing years later!!!!
This is pure gold! Just listen to those drums! Damn I love Alex.
That brown cord at the intro song is the brownest, bestest cord I’ve ever freaking heard
Ahhhhhhh. More! Fresh! VAN HALEN for these ears!!!!! 👍🏻❤️🤟🏻
Is it crazy to say that some of these instrumentals are as cool or cooler w/o vocals/voice in there!!??
Awesome stuff🧩
Getting a bit emotional 😂 and nostalgic....nice.
