Van Halen - Act Like It Hurts (Unreleased, 1980)

Ойындар

Unreleased song from the 1980 WACF recording sessions. Originally brought to my attention by the channel VH Rarities. It is known mostly as "Act Like It Hurts", but also has an alternative title "Red Zone". Both are the same song, but the titles for this song have never been fully confirmed or decided on, as far as I've found. Red Zone was a prototype name.

    I saw a video and he said how his archive of ideas HAD been semi categorized, but the computer it was on fried. So it was only in his head, and he just had to get around to organizing it. (my memory of that is very loose, it's been awhile since I saw it) So would Wolfgang be the most likely person to be in charge of any unreleased demos to be shared, if that ever even happens?

    I have a feeling that eddie would have told Michael to simplify his bass parts for this song if VH were actually gonna release it. I'm going by what Sammy said regarding Eddie and Michael's professional relationship. Just speculation of coarse haha but I agree the bass parts here are kinda proggy in a great way. Great phaser? tone too.

Eddie dished Mike Anthony all the time, he would say stuff like Mike is just an average player & I (EVH) had to write his bass solos. Before the 1984 album came out, Eddie made Mike sign a document stating that he would get none of the royalties from the 1984 album, because as EVH said, he contributes nothing! Mike had no choice, either sign the doc or get kicked out of the band! EVH was harsh on him, & everyone said that Mike is the nicest guy you could ever meet! Check out the Doc, its all in there.

I mean anyone who’s seen VH live knows what Michael is capable of. He can really play those 4 strings, and deserves to be held in the same regards that his bandmates were held in (with their respective talents). Instead they just pushed him so damn low in the mix that if you strain really hard, you might be able to make out root notes. I never understood the reasoning behind it.

    Especially since Anthony's previous bandmate in Snake, Tony Codgen (Guitars) said in the "Van Halen:The Early Years"-documentary, that it was 'Eddie' that came up to him one night at a show Snake was playing, when he and Roth were looking for a bassist, and said to Tony "MAN! That guy is f**king GOOD! Does he play guitar?" Nah, those rumors gotta be false. Mike Anthony was probably forced to 'underplay', by Templeman maybe. Then again, if the bass gets 'too' busy in a mix, and the 'busy-ness' isn't 'adding' anything to the particular piece of music being played/recorded, then it just becomes a painful distraction. Most Bass players know this. But what was done on this track by Anthony was 'adding to' the sound of the track, in a 'good' way. Like what Geddy Lee did for RUSH songs. Those are the level of Bassists I'm always looking and listening for, and want to create songs/music with. And I agree, there's gotta be 'MORE' stuff like this! Will be up to Alex and Wolf to dig it out of 'The Vault', and release it, I reckon.

    EVH took electric guitar playing and tone to a place nobody else would have….in fact when you heard it the first time it was obviously new, different, uncharted and almost incomprehensible- I had no clue what was going on - all I could do was grab ahold, hang on for dear life and hope not to drown. Nobody will ever capture anything like he did and I say that with the utmost certainty. Nothing has come close….he was a true wizard, a gift from God and never to be imitated or eclipsed. Not only do I pity those that think they are good because they try to copy something they did not create, I laugh at them because they are missing the whole idea. EVH was EVH and nobody else….and he allowed himself to find his own way and that is why we all revere him as we do.

    Same here. I’m very familiar with most of the bootlegged, unreleased/outtake stuff from the super early days and the first four albums era (1974-1982), but this one is brand new to me. I’m a bit baffled too, because this isn’t just some half-baked lo-fi demo. It’s professional studio sound quality. I’m guessing it’s from either the WACF sessions or the Fair Warning sessions. It sounds fully arranged and developed, aside from missing a vocal track. This period of VH has been heavily bootlegged and scrutinized through the years, so the fact that I’m only just now hearing this, or even knowing of it’s existence is perplexing to say the least.

    Well, as far as that last bit goes (the thrill of buying the latest album as it hit the racks), those days ended for me in ‘82 when Diver Down came out. That was the first time I remember ever feeling let down by a new VH album, but it happened again not much later, when 1984 came out (though 1984 was an improvement on DD)… and then Van Hagar became a thing and I just quit buying the new albums. However yes, I do find myself getting a bit nostalgic for those days during the first 4 albums, when I couldn’t wait to get home, tear off the cellophane, pull out the record, smell the jacket, slap it down on the turntable, and blast it at max volume.

    I don’t know if Mike is on bass here. Ed used to record a lot of bass parts himself (as many hard rock band guitar players do).

    @@WhyTheHorseface I thought this was recorded Live though (as opposed to Ed overdub playing both the guitar and bass at different times separately). Although later on Ed definitely was recording the bass for himself…Like on the VH 3 album in 1998….and on the three Best of both Worlds tracks in 2004 ….And even in Jas Obrecht’s old tape interviews of Ed you can hear him playing ‘bass parts’ on guitar and telling Jas to imagine them an octave lower.

    The riff at 2:06 made its way to Amsterdam, just before the solo. Also, the part at 1:26 sounds pretty similar to the part after the solo in House of Pain.

    The riff at 1:26 is slightly similar to that part in House of Pain , but not quite. It is actually the same riff as that short intro of the main guitar solo in Get Up. Listen to Get Up starting at 2:42. It is sped up considerably more than the original version here.

    That bassline and the filthy dirty funky riff and tone. As others have said its the Fair Warning era and that was my personal favorite album. It was all very dark and dirty with killer solos. Eddie and Wolfie did a video of all the tapes from the 5150 era. Im sure sooner or later some of that might be released. It couldn't be better than this older stuff.

    Wolfe did a interview with Eddie Trunk on Sirius XM radio a few years ago and they talked about all the material in 5150. Wolfe mentioned that some of the tapes are so old they need to be restored or as he called it, baked. He said he will get around to it eventually and will need an engineer to help him. He's still young enough that he has time to go through all the tapes but he mentioned before he does that he's focusing on his career like his father wanted him to. 🎤🎶🎸🥁🤟🏼
