Eddie and Alex played jazz on the boat over here with their dad, got to sit at the captains table. Those two boys have always been special. Props to their mom, Eugenia was a hell of a mom to raise those two prodigies.
Always loved that riff at the beginning! Then the song kicks in and it gets even better! Ed's outro solo is probably one of the best released on an album! And this is considered a deep cut? RIP Ed. VH 4ever!
Mugsy, I am enjoying the heck out your Van Halen reactions! You are introducing me to some of their stuff I’ve never heard. You see back in the day I was poor and didn’t buy every one of their albums. And of course they only played of few songs from an album on FM radio. I love this song. I have to agree with you about Eddie as you eloquently said, flexing. 😂 I remember how I was introduced to them, I purchased an album from a store we had in NY called Korvettes. Well they were giving out 45 records with any album purchase. In case you dont know, 45’s were smaller disk that had only two songs on it. One on the front and another on tge back. 45’s played a slower speed than an album on your turntable. The 45 was Van Halen. I had never heard them before. This is when the band first came out. The two songs were eruption and running with the devil. Well when I got home and put the 45 on my player and I was blown away. I had never heard anything like it before. I was hooked and purchased their first album.
This one and Top Jimmy are bangers! (Wait until you hear the beat drop behind the solo in Top Jimmy!) But then so are House of Pain and I’ll Wait, and Hot for Teacher, and Girl Gone Bad…pretty much the whole album is a masterpiece!
hey M, I used to have the cover of the album in an oversized poster on my wall as a teenage kid, my neighbor used to manage Tower Records out here in SoCal, and I used to get all the promo posters for all the new releases of bands I liked...
Oh man, the best experience you'll get by listening this very "1984" album back to back, song by song, in its entirety! It's what's called "album rock" man! Led Zeppelin taught this to us from their very first album to the last, and even The Beatles already did that back in the day! And an album doesn't even need to be conceptual in order to be a Monolyth Masterpiece!
A lot of the songs off "1984" album were pre-written. Eddie had done the soundtrack for the movie "The Wild Life" (1984). Listen to the sound track (it's on youtube) and you will hear riffs from half of the 1984 album, not the songs, but the riffs.
Wow another one of my favorites I didn't get notified for this I don't get this. I'm just going to check everyday. Been working a lot but I didn't even know you looked at this album at this album

And yes. Van Halen swagger in its purest form.
That outro solo could arguably be Eddie’s best..technically, otherworldly 🤘
Always loved that!
and its sister solo on Summer nights
The greatest American rock band of all time!! 1984 is Edward's masterpiece!!
The greatest rock band of all time, American or otherwise. 🤘🏻😎
The greatest rock band ever! Absolutely! 🤘
They were the shit for sure !
Yessss! 1984 is the best album with Dave, and Balance is the best one with Sammy! They ROCK! R.I.P. Eddie...
The one and only king Edward Van Halen!!!!
Dave knew EXACTLY what kind of vocal delivery was needed to complement Ed’s guitar greatness. Ed & Dave = rock’s greatest duo.
Yep, that's Eddie riding the groove like only Eddie could do. The whole band knew how to swing. Great tune, great reaction!

One of my favorite VH tracks of all time… Eddie rips
I like when Dave sings "Nice white teeth, Betty Boop". It always cracks me up.
My favorite song off this album by a long shot.
all that head banging made me a subscriber! LMAO. How can you NOT move to this groove??
The solo at the end may be my favorite EVH solo
One of my favorites from Van Halen with DLR, you are getting ready to hit another with Girl Gone Bad.
When the drums come in, woah! And then Dave and his vocal swagger! Yes 💯 Van Halen!!!
You need to hear this on your own time on a hot summer day when you're feeling good about sh.
One of my favorite rythms Edward ever created.
Ya know, the more Van Halen reactions that I see you do, there sure are a lot of #1s that you have! 😂
So funky
My favorite's Van Halen song with "House of pain", Eddie is amazing there !
One of their best songs.
One of my favorite Van Halen Deep cuts, the solo out of song is nasty! ❤😂
Everything about this one is on point and the lyrics are hilarious! improves my mood every time 🤣
Best track on 1984!
The Guitar Riffs in This are Unique and Groovy!!!
Ah man. Secrets and Drop Dead Legs on the same day. Two of my favourites VH tracks. Both really strong but very different grooves.
@@paulburton5150 He wrote them on same day? Wow where did you read that?
@ ah no, sorry. I meant the reaction video for both on the same day 😊
A lot of great songs on this album!

Eddie said that the main riffs were a variation he was doing on ACDC Back in Black.
Love this song
Girl Gone Bad is also a great song from 1984.

Awesome to see this man’s body get taken over by the music at 6:00 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
This one and Top Jimmy are bangers! (Wait until you hear the beat drop behind the solo in Top Jimmy!) But then so are House of Pain and I’ll Wait, and Hot for Teacher, and Girl Gone Bad…pretty much the whole album is a masterpiece!
Have this on my driving playlist. Great rockin' song!
Absolutely love the reaction! Yea, just let Eddie go off!
One of their coolest tunes and you're the first I've seen react to it. Checking you out now!
hey M, I used to have the cover of the album in an oversized poster on my wall as a teenage kid, my neighbor used to manage Tower Records out here in SoCal, and I used to get all the promo posters for all the new releases of bands I liked...
You know its an epic album when a track like DDL is considered a deep track. 1984 is a masterpiece in every way.
Love this tune 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It don't get much better than that! But I've said that at more of their songs than you can shake a stick at🤣 We probably all have:)
Great song 🎵
Wow another one of my favorites I didn't get notified for this I don't get this. I'm just going to check everyday. Been working a lot but I didn't even know you looked at this album at this album
THE PAINT STILL WET 🎉
Favorite VH song.
Funk and Holldsworth all in one!
My fav EVH riff to play. This the McRib
It's a fuckin jam for sure
Van Halen also has pretty steady Bee Bop influence. If you want to hear them really swing, check out "I'm The One".
THE GREATEST VAN HALEN SONG EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 3:42, drum “riff” from D’yer Maker
HS jammin right there. Good times.
Ice Cream Man and Top Jimmy are a couple of quirky songs you should listen to…
That and so is the shit and I love the Betty Boop reference that was my nickname Arthur School😊
Just think if Dave never left cause these were getting better and better
Do THE FULL BUG!
Serious stomper. Bro you makin me hungry!
Great album, but this song is hands down my favorite song on 1984.
Well its plain to see Drop dead legs is your favorite Van Halen song
WELCOME AGAIN TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN AND THE INCOMPARABLE GENIUS OF EDWARD LUDWIG VAN HALEN...
You gotta listen to VH2!!!! Best record they made imo!!
Dude you make faces like I do! So funny
Don’t know if you done these songs yet my opinion best on album. Girl Gone Bad and House of Pain
@@johntheisen6791 Those have always been my favorite songs off this great album.
Wait til you get to "Girl gone Bad"
@@MatthewFierros-l1m My favourite tune on 1984!
I guess I can say Mugs that you like Van Halen huh!
These are replays from earlier this year.
