Yes, please on:

Houses of the Holy, Jean Genie, and Superstition.

But only if DLR is fronting and only if I can get the Delorean up to 88mph.

I found this:

http://www.guitars101.com/vb/van-halen-bootlegs/32022-suckas-van-halen-cover-tune-compilation.html

That site has a lot of VH boots available, although I couldn't find Houses of the Holy. You have to sign up, but it only takes a sec.
