Van Halen Goofiness You Could Not Perceive Back in the 80′s

A friend sent me this link to a YouTube of a take of David Lee Roth’s vocals from a Van Halen Running With the Devil mix session.

It’s not as funny as they make it out to be, but I am sort of astounded at how hard it was for me to tell back then that David Lee Roth sounded so ridiculous.  But don’t get me wrong: it is funny.

What’s with the security at vault facilities these days?  Entire movies get leaked out to the internet in between post-production and their official release date, and now this raw audio archived over 20 years ago.

UPDATE: For the record, I like old Van Halen quite a bit.  I used to have “Van Halen 1″ on cassette tape.  And I still have a CD of Fair Warning in my collection.  Given that I don’t have any Van Halen MP3′s you might think that I don’t listen to Van Halen too often anymore.  And you’d be right.
