From the wikipedia page

Rodney Bingenheimer saw Van Halen at Gazzarri's in the summer of 1976, and convinced Gene Simmons of Kiss to see them perform. Impressed, Simmons produced a 29-track Van Halen demo tape, entitled "Zero", at Village Recorder studios in Los Angeles, with post-production overdubs completed at Electric Lady Studios in New York. Simmons suggested changing their name to "Daddy Longlegs." However, a very disappointed Simmons could do no more once Kiss management decided that Van Halen "had no chance of making it".
