As y'all know, this was the one "New Song" they played last night. It's an old song that was done before their debut album....It was one of the famous Gene Simmons Demo recordings.

For those who have not heard it, here it is from 1976:

Did you see Andrew's news? Kool and the Gang will be joining Van Halen on select dates. WTF? I assume it is a joke.

That's a great song...Shame it hasn't been officially released before now.

I got the 76 version of this song on a cd called "Demo Daze."

Good move. It's still "new" to te general public who have never heard it.

Doesn't look like a joke at all but it does seem to be a rather odd pairing.

I remember some years ago when The Rolling Stones played at Fenway Park in Boston, they had the Black Eyed Peas open for them. I think I read that Kool is opening on "selective dates" which means your city may have a rock band open for VH.
