my buddy gave me the Gene Simmons demo back in 2001. It was/is awesome. much drier signal/tone. Also hearing the the early versions of some of the songs is great. We used to debate if it was michael Anthony on bass or gene simmons. It was definitely Gene saying "PAINNNNN" on House of Pain.

the way teddy tells this story about “…the van halen” and not being able to recall the name of the only vh song his voice is featured in seems like a veiled arrogance while feigning indifference to the golden ticket of his career.
“c’mon ted, give me a break”
this is more like it:

back to the tone, i hope the new AVH project includes a bulk of archived gems recorded during this era of tone:
listening to ADKOT again makes me appreciate how crucial his old tone was to the big picture FOR ME as a crusty old vh fan

A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUTH VINYL MIX. This sounds better to me. Waaaaay heavier. And it kicks off with a fuckin' banger.
This is the rip yer face off mix. LOL
This link takes you to the playlist for the entire album.

I always thought this song was written about Wolfie.

it does sound great. although they should have ducked dave’s vox further back on the choruses, brought mike back on bass/bk vox and had wolf on rhythm gtr./bk vox2.
that would have been the move.

EVH could choose to play metal zone through a pignose and he would always be eddie.
but i can definitely say i did not enjoy the post 5150 years much. Finish what you started and cabo wabo seemed like Sammy trying to turn the band into a Jimmy Buffet retirement house band for his club, and we won’t get into the cherone years.
so yeah metal tone aside AKOT was a breath of fresh VH air indeed!
I just listened to Alex Van Halen's audiobook and am in the middle of Runnin' with the Devil. What a bunch of hedonists they were in the DLR days!
I can't imagine living like for years nonstop.I like Van Hagar also, but it's not the same machine. I have to say 5150 is awesome, the best of Van Hagar. But when I heard Me Wise Magic and Can't Get This Stuff No More, I thought, the REAL Van Halen is back!! Sadly didn't happen in '96, but they did a great job with ADKOT, full stop.

I have to say I've always kind of overlooked the last DLR VH album; never really liked it but this thread made me listen back and honestly I now think the few examples shared here are not that bad! I'll have to listen to this album again with fresh ears. Being "a little nostalgic" of EVH those days could play a part in it that's true, but anyway 
That being said, always wished that they would have reunited with DLR way before when you listen back to those couple of new songs they had put in the '96 compilation... THAT is what I wish VH would have been made of in the 90's after the Sammy period was over.

besides the old tone, i sure liked DLR better in the early years when he remembered the lyrics and sang on the beat!

I love this video but always wondered if had been doctored. I believe so. There are some guitar and vox parts that are way too close the original album to not be. Do I care? No.

perspectives.
my first rock memory was my sister letting me and my other sister in to the theater she worked at for free to see Woodstock when it came out.
next, i still remember sitting on our front porch hearing this new hit come on the radio when i was 4 and thinking this must be what hippies call heavy metal because to my young ears it sounded more intense that the Woodstock music:
you gotta marvel at what the singer Chuck Negron (who recently passed away RIP) must have been thinking as he performs for the stoic church-like audience of older folks showing zero emotion.
the band didn’t even bother to use pretend mics!
the good old days of rock star bravado = flowing mustaches and long sleeve shirts!
