Notes: This is really cool stuff. The demos sound fantastic, and offer some great perspective on the band's early years. They have survived very well, too. Almost no tape hiss even. The stuff toward the end of disc 2 has aged a bit more, but still wouldn't rate worse than an A-. If you dig the band, you'll go crazy for this.

They sound somewhat cleaner and are from a better generation source then the original demos. This is a professionally done CD-R with silk-screened art on the discs, no sticky labels. The track listings presented on the back cover differ slightly from those above. The listing above is correct for what is on the discs. The quality of the 25 song demos is the same as those tracks on the bootleg disc called, "Blueprint". Tracks 5-8 on Disc 2 are from an old KMET radio interview that has shown up in various forms on some older bootlegs and includes Dave doing the intro to the "Full Bug" on acoustic guitar and changing around a bit to make it an advertisement for KMET. These particular tracks are excellent quality. Tracks 7 & 8 on Disc 2 are an interview with Lisa Robinson that includes Eddie doing the Elephant, Horse and Mouse sounds on guitar. Track 12 on Disc 2 is King Crimson's "Discipline", not Van Halen! Track 18 on Disc 2 is a poor sounding soundboard recording from the Jacksons' Texas show in 1984 which Eddie played "Beat It" live with the band. Tracks 19-21 on Disc 2 are from a radio interview where a caller claims he has a tape he recorded from Van Halen in 1975 while doing sound for the other band on the bill called "Air Castle" and has "Superstitious" and a small part of "La Grange". Also included are songs straight off of their respective CDs. Including Nicollette Larson's "Get Away From You" that Eddie played on in 1978 and all 3 tracks from the Brian May "Star Fleet" LP (CD versions used). One bad thing about this set is the inclusion of a few dubious tracks (11,14,17 on Disc 2) from "Eddie solo in his studio" that are fakes done by a guitar instructor and appeared on the "Guitar Man" bootleg a few years back. Even though "Feel Your Love Tonight" is listed on the cover art for Disc 2, it is not on the set. Also, If you look closely on the songlist for Disc 2, there is no Track #16 listed!

Notes: "Zero" boot. Gene Simmons studio demos. Tracklist: 1. On Fire 3:37 2. Woman In Love 3:25 3. House In Pain 3:27 4. Runnin' With the Devil 3:33 5. She's the Woman 2:53 6. Let's Get Rockin' 3:08 7. Big Trouble 3:35 8. Somebody Get Me a Doctor 3:03 9. Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone 2:55 10. Put Out the Lights 3:38 Total Time - 33:14 Notes from vhboots.com: AMAZING sound quality! Many people have heard the two tracks from this demo, "House Of Pain" and "Runnin' With the Devil", and have commented that the tone is very different than the WB demos and eventual pressed versions. This is extremely evident throughout this set of demos. Eddie's guitar tone is far from what it was to become and there are several instances of multiple guitar overdubs. In some cases, there are as many as three guitar tracks at one time and some solos are actually laid over one another at times. Dave's vocal delivery is dramatically different on many tracks such as "Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone" and "Somebody Get Me a Doctor". "Runnin' With the Devil" is slightly different that the version that normally follows "House of Pain" on the other boots. This version starts with the band singing the chorus in the fourth measure of the song, before any of the verses are sang. There are a few very slight, almost unnoticeable drop-outs in a couple spots of the disc. Also, there are two strange skips in "Let's Get Rockin'" where about three seconds of a phrase is back tracked and repeated. All in all, 4.99 out of 5! A recording that puts the WB Demos on "Looney Tunes" and "Blueprint" boots to SHAME! Even the "masterered" tracks on "Looney Tunes" don't have the crisp, clear sound that these tracks have. In May 2002 the errors on this disc were corrected by a member of the Van Halen trading community.
