CommentTitle: "Zero" or "Gene Simmons Zero Demos".

* Many people have heard the two tracks from this demo, "House Of Pain" and "Runnin' With the Devil", and have commented that the tone is very different than the WB demos and eventual pressed versions. This is extremely evident throughout this set of demos. Eddie's guitar tone is far from what it was to become and there are several instances of multiple guitar overdubs. In some cases, there are as many as three guitar tracks at one time and some solos are actually laid over one another at times.
* Dave's vocal delivery is dramatically different on many tracks such as "Babe, Don't Leave Me Alone" and "Somebody Get Me a Doctor".
* "Runnin' With the Devil" is slightly different that the version that normally follows "House of Pain" on the other boots. This version starts with the band singing the chorus in the fourth measure of the song, before any of the verses are sang.
