Unreleased Van Halen tune - 2 different takes: "Red Zone" and "Act like it hurts"

They should have put a version of this on a VH album. I wonder if it was really recorded in 1980, though. I'm almost positive that Al is using Roto Toms in the intro (I play drums) and those didn't appear in his kit until around 1983 if memory serves. And Ed's playing here feels like it's from a later period in the VH timeline.

Act like it hurts is now what song on A Different Kind of Truth ? It’s a killer song with sub octave on the last album. Oh wait it’s honey sweetie song

The one riff sounds like the main riff but with a sub octave on it too . And some bends added it
