A bunch of people blogged this last week, but I thought that it could not go without being noted here. This is the raw, and I’d imagine ‘comped vocal* of Diamond David Lee Roth’s vocal take for ‘Running With The Devil’ from Van Halen’s first self-titled LP.
I don’t believe there is any fancy processing on this vocal, so all the overtones you can hear here are made by DLR himself.
It’s totally freakin’ awesome! I really need to go back and listen to this record again…

Also, while we’re on the subject of Van Halen - you probably need to see Yacht Rock #9 as well.

* ‘comped - short for compiled. This is audio nerd talk for when you take a bunch of recording takes and edit them together to make one final track to be used for mixing.
