|
|
I downloaded some mp3s from a VH-fan website, supposedly the Gene Simmons demos. Let’s seee... Big Troubles, She’s The Woman, House of Pain, Runnin With The Devil. Ok, that sounded like VH and My jaw dropped hearing the sound quality!!
But Black Star? Sleepless Nights? All That I Need? The guitar sounds “somewhat� Eddie-like. I don’t hear Dave, is this before DLR? :confused:
Now I have 2 “distinct� versions, maybe 3 of: House of Pain & Runnin’ with the Devil. The mp3 sounds incredible, especially when I compare to my old boot tape I bought through the mail back in 1988! When did the fresh or *remastererd* or “Gene� version surface? So, my old version is not the Gene demo? My tape sounded bad since the day I received it :confused:
and now I'm hearing about the Zero and Complete Zero compilations.
note I'm jr, can anybody clarify any of this? Thanks! |

Ok friend. I got a cassette back in the early 90's that had Aint, House, Run, On fire. I thought it was awesome. Then, I got 2 boots called "That's all folks" and "At the best", they contained more demos but the sound varied a lot. Ok then in 2/03 I joined this trading community (after downloading a couple tracks from Audio Galaxy, I was floored and I had to get more.)
So, when I joined there was ZERO (which is the Gene Simmons produced demo from 76) and then After Zero (the WB demos from late 77). Thank GOD for these cd's because they were awesome. Then in like 5/03 I got some mastering software and decided to clean up these cd's (After Zero is too slow.) BTW Zero and refers to recordings before VAN HALEN 1 (Clever!!!)
I tried some tracks, had some luck but then started messing with EQ. I scrapped the whole project. I really learned the software and started again.
So now I offer the ultimate set called COMPLETE ZERO. Check out www.vhboots.com and look up COMPLETE ZERO to see the song list. I am so proud to be on VHBOOTS (Thank's RON)
I go under the name "S.T.O.H." Prod.
So far I have remastered
Pink Floyd - Collection of bricks (Wall demos)
Pink Floyd - The Wall ALT. soundtrack
Mr. Bungle (every demo and a collection cd)
Van Halen - Complete Zero
Scatterbrain - unreleased 3'rd album
etc.

| Black Star, All that I Need and Sleepless Nighs were a band called the Boyz with George Lynch and Mick Brown (pre-Dokken).There is a Dokken collection with multiple versions of these songs I've been trying to get ahold of. The tracks were mistaken as Van halen, but the band themselves set the record straight it's not them. |
