It's the Right Time (Not sure if you'd consider this official Van Halen)

[Simon Ribeiro]

It's the Right Time and That's Why I Love You ... They do have a lot stuff in common.
Can't say 100% they are the SAME song, but they do share lots of similarities.

Between Us Two and Learning to See ... I remember reading that they ARE the same song with different lyrics.

Eat Thy Neighbor and Summer Nights ... I also remember reading something about Dave and the few rehearsals he went to over 5150 in 1985 and the band worked in a some tunes, this 01 (ETN) in particular and Dave had some lines and vocal melodies done that Hagar supposedly used on Summer Nights.

I guess there are some old threads here about these unreleased stuff. Right now, I only remember this one here:

[VH1986]

I'm ready for unreleased material from the Sammy years. I've heard all the unreleased material from the Dave years that I care to hear.

Same.

[JUNGLE DRUMMER]

Shocker.

I cant imagine not wanting to hear any unreleased VH material, regardless of singer.

If it were leftover 6 pack tracks then hell yeah but not more unheard shitty bootleg sounding demos from 1975. No. We got a TON of shit from the Dave years. I Want Some Action? That's it?

I can see that, but I was just assuming we were talking about unreleased studio tracks.

[PrideofPasadena]

I want it all! I'm sure one of those Gary tunes is killer.

[mike zack]

Release it all at this point!

[Dave's Dreidel]

The band was simply more prolific in their early years, therefore more unreleased tunes.

I don't think VH is the only band that falls into that description. The Stones are still releasing songs that they recorded in the early 70's that didn't make the cut, but I doubt there is too much unused material from 2015.

It is amazing how much incredible material the original band wrote in a short period of time, before they were signed.

What is the source of the Balance track "I Remember"? I don't recall seeing that mentioned anywhere.

[Railrunner130]

I suspect there's some confusion regarding "Out of the Ether". On the Japanese version of Marching To Mars, Sammy released the instrumental "Ether" as an intro to "Wash Me Down Again".

Are these two songs the same?

No that's just like a minute-long instrumental (is it even that?) before WMD. I think Sammy just like the word "Ether" since it was unused and felt it fit that instrumental or whatever the fuck.

I remember "I Remember" but don't remember where I saw it. Probably The Inside or some rock mag at the time. I'm pretty sure the Van Halen Encylopedia mentions it too.
