    "Dirty Movies"
    "Hear About it Later"

    From the David Lee Roth era:
    "And the Cradle Will Rock"
    "Panama"
    "Hot For Teacher"
    From Van Hagar:
    "Runaround"
    "Poundcake"
    "The Dream is Over"
    Van Halen is pretty much a radio band. They are solid across the board but a lot of their stuff has a similar feel to it. Oh yeah, and I can't remember whether you guys have done "Eruption Live Without a Net" but if you haven't and you want to watch Eddie shred for a solid 10 minutes that should be your next watch.
    Happy Haunakwanzmas (or whatever variety of seasonal cheer you may go in for). Looking forward to seeing what you've got in store for 2020.

      No synthesizers. Straight up rock. The piano on “right now” was certainly called for.

    Everyone knows how good EVH is, and Diamond Dave is the essence of cool and one of the best front men ever. Not the best vocals in existence, but perfect. What doesn't get commented on is the rhythm section. Alex is a monster, and Michael Anthony is one of the best high harmonies in the business and thumps on that bass.
    Check out Hot For Teacher.

  • @V7avalon
    @V7avalon 4 роки тому +7

    Having seen Van Halen on their 1st 2 tours their music was fast catchy and fun. David Lee Roth was their vocal signature. His stage performances were highly arrogant. His lyrical style was like a Las Vegas stage act. The band truly does rock but the songs are all dedicated to pop radio culture.

    Everybody Wants Some

Try "Panama" if you want a banger that's also a big hit. Oh, and "Ice Cream Man" would be perfect for the next drunk reaction show!

    First time I ever saw the opening act blow the headliner away was when VH opened for Black Sabbath just before they got big. We had never heard of them and the audience was so blown away they were called back for an encore, Never saw that before or since. Amazing show. "Hot for Teacher" may be a tune you'd like, especially since you're still of age to have hot teachers. Banger.

  • @rbilleaud
    @rbilleaud 4 роки тому +1

    Interesting tidbit about the bridge where DLR makes the comment, "take look at this. Man, that suit is you. You'll get some leg tonight for sure," and the guy comes back with, "come on, Dave, gimme a break." That was totally ad libbed and real. While the band was recording "Unchained" (the used to record bands live back in those days), one of the engineers came into the control room dressed in a full suit. As kind of a joke, Dave used the intercom to the control room and uttered those famous words, figuring they'd just redo the take. The engineer responded and it was caught on tape. And the "one break, coming up," was a perfect segue into the chorus, made up on the spot. Everyone thought it was such a brilliant chance thing that they decided to keep it. Now everyone thinks it was written that way, but not at all. It's weird how cool things like that just happen sometimes. Unfortunately, now that bands mostly record instrumental tracks separately, you don't get that interaction between vocalist and band, and that's one reason why so much of what you hear on the radio these days is boring.

    There's a great interview with DLR where he talks about coming up doing music and theater in school being a fantastic backgroud to be a rock star. Growing up competing for first seat in band class trained them to perform correctly on cue.
    BTW, VH never really goes off script. They do tight, compact songwriting and they kill it.

    9.5 for me. Dave’s bridge knocks it down for me (especially after all these years), while the unsung instrumental layers breaking down and building up throughout the song take it from mere radio friendly hit to an epic rocker.

    Great reaction guys!! That beginning with the crunchy guitar riff ALWAYS gets me, then the bass & drums kick in, and you've got a rawkin' banger - the party has begun!! I still remember when my sister introduced Van Halen to me (I was 5 or 6...the album 1984 had just come out), and Fair Warning took a bit more for me to get in to (hey, I was listening to Smurfs & Sesame Street at the time), but I immediately took to Unchained!
    Speaking of 1984, I would LOVE to see you guys react to I'll Wait. It's more of a synth journey, but one of those darker, not as well known tracks that just kicks A$$!!! Cheers guys.

    Van halen songs that are more off the chain:
    Ice Cream Man
    On Fire
    Atomic Punk
    Everybody Wants Some
    Take Your Whiskey Home
    Mean Street
    Loss of Control
    Unchained is one of those songs where Dave would interact with the audience during that interlude part, hey man that suit is you... .
    That phrase by the way became a thing back then, also, I like the way the line runs up the back of those stockings. Dave was quite the character, dudes wanted to be him, chicks literally threw themselves at him, you should check out some of his solo vids like Just a Gigolo.
    Ive seen the original lineup once, Dave solo band with Steve Vai etc, Eat Em and Smile album, once (was amazing show), Dave touring with Sammy Hagar after Hagar got booted out of VH, and Van Halen reunited once, which was also a great show, Eddies son on Bass, no Michael though. I couldnt do Van Hagar.

      Unchained was absolutely not a radio hit.
      That's why Fair Warning was the worst selling VH album....because the songs were just flat out awesome rock and none of them was a surefire single hit.
      Unchained is arguably their greatest song....and it never even cracked the top 10 on the mainstream rock billboard chart.
      It was not overplayed, or it would have been much higher than #13 at the time.
      And yes i agree they should listen to Hear About it Later and Little Guitars....plus Secrets and So this is love?

  • @timsterrockstar

    In the middle of this song, David Lee Roth makes fun of an executive that walked into the studio while they were recording it ("that suit is YOU..."). Roth would add commentary on a separate track while the band played the instrumental parts, and his comments were sometimes added to the mix ("Everybody Wants Some" is an example). The voice that says, "Come on, Dave, gimme a break" is their producer, Ted Templeman.
    When Van Halen released their album 1984, they crossed over to the Pop realm, but Fair Warning (released in 1981, the same year Eddie Van Halen married Valerie Bertinelli) was very much a rock album. No singles were released from the album, but "Unchained" got lots of airplay on Album Oriented Rock (AOR) stations, which were prevalent at the time, and endured as a live favorite for the band.
    Van Halen made a video for this song, but the band barely cooperated as they had no interest in the medium. MTV had recently launched, so Van Halen's label hired the director Bruce Gowers to shoot one of their concerts and turn it into a video. He shot the concert, but the band provided no additional lighting on stage. Gowers handed the footage off to Robert Lombard, who owned a production company and pieced together the clip. The band loved the results and decided to make more videos. Their next one, which they had Lombard direct, was for their cover of "(Oh) Pretty Woman."

    Does anyone here remember David Lee Roths solo band after VH? The song "Yankee Rose"? Or have you ever watched any VH Live footage from the earliest days of their careers?? So fun, if you are a fan, check them out! I was fortunate enough to have seen them live in 1978, I believe. They were so new, it was the Van Halen 2 tour. I was so close, we had to crane our heads, could almost touch their feet!! We could walk around, move around, but ,Of course, I was glued down in front! David had those red and white striped bell - bottoms on! It was at the Jantzen Beach Arena in Portland Oregon.

I have played this song in cover bands and that syncopated section makes the song a really fun song to play. Can you guys review a VH song with Sammy Hager on vocals as well? Summer Nights, Dreams, Cabo Wabo, or Mine All Mine would suffice! Cheers!

I am a product of the 70's/80's and grew up with all this great music around me. Keep up the awesome work!
    I give this song an 9.5/10 for a Van Halen song. This was indeed a "radio song" but it wasn't a blatant radio song like Jump or Panama or anything from that album was. DLR was a phenomenal entertainer and arguably one of the great front men in all of music. Too bad all great things get old. Thanks for your interest in all these great songs... Cheers.

    Great song! 9.5
    This is one of those songs that usually gets the majority vote amongst VH fans.
    I’ve been a VH fan since 1978. If I had to pick just one of their songs that is the perfect representation of the band I would say it is “Hear About It Later” 10.0 off the album ‘Fair Warning’
    *This part goes to Andy who was interested in an “off the chain” banger.
    I gave this much thought and here you go:
    “Atomic Punk”
    “Light Up The Sky”
    Honorable mentioned:
    “Romeo Delight”
    “Fools”
    These four tunes are less likely to be radio friendly and are bangers! 🤘🏼

    This is my favorite VH album. Raw, dark, heavy. I will say I always hated the breakdown. 'You'll get some leg tonight for sure'. Just thought it took the momentum out of the song. Just my opinion. Still a good song. Dirty Movies may be my fave on this though. Now the breakdown in that, works. Great stuff guys!
