Thx Mugs! This album is, what I consider, a hidden gem. Fantastic follow up to 5150.
Not many think so, however, I love it! Went and saw them for Monsters of Rock stadium shows at Tampa Stadium, the Big Sombrero!!
just needs more low end but great album with multiple styles
You said that Van Halen always gives you a good hook. Joe Satriani (another great guitarist) once said that Eddie has the gift of melody. He does a lot of weird stuff, but whatever it is hooks you in because it's deeply musical. Another great reaction! Can't wait for For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge!
I knew black and blue was gonna be your favorite!
Best band of all time! Thanks for this reaction series
Regardless of who is singing just enjoy the music. It’s all goooooooood!!!
Dave and Van Halen did a lot more heavier music punch you in your face music Sammy's more on the softer side of things but either way they're the best 🎸🎸🎸🎸👑 Edward VH the mighty Van Halen 🔥
Softer side??? On Balance and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge??
Especially on those@@blackeer6614
I’ve been a VH fan since I bought their debut album. Instantly hooked by the sounds of EVH - RIP.
When Sammy Hagar joined…something magical happened. Not only did our ears get the treasure of a truly great rock vocalist, but the songwriting became less juvenile…sophisticated! The compositions allowing Eddie the freedom to return to his first mastered instrument, the piano. In my opinion, this is the best Van Hagar era, and I was so happy I’d never have to hear nor see Roth again. I made a point to buy OU812 on the day it was released!
Sophisticated. Perhaps you and I have a different understanding of the definition. Ham fisted? Earnest? Straining to appear profound or sophisticated. Definitely. Sammy was even more juvenile than Dave, it's just that Dave did it with a wink and artfulness. Sammy's apparent earnest mask is just that, a transparent mask. Nothing at all grown up about straight on up to her lunch pail or them human toys. Zero artistic credibility.
"Black & Blue" is top of the line VH & so is "Finish What Ya Started". The ballad was good. For a slower VH groove, "When it's Love" was pop gold and had big radio play. It hit #1 on the charts.
Mugs, you make me laugh! Great show, love the special guest “the cat” 😂😂😂😂😂
Blue balls! On point!! Sammy introduced Finish What Ya Started in concert with the statement “if you’re left hangin w a set of blue balls on ya it ain’t no fun” and they launched right into the song. Nice reaction
Great album! I really think you will like For Unlawful Carnel Knowledge even better. I missed this live reaction again.
Love the reactions!!! Wish I could be present when you're doing it live!!!
Both versions of Van Halen are great. I love both! The Roth era is raw and edgey. It was something new back in the 70's. Sammy era was polished and more pop rock because at the time the musin was changing back in the 80's. They were both perfect at their moment in time! The thing that gets me is that, alot of people don't give Sammy any credit for keeping Van Halen alive. That's what he did! Without Sammy Van Halen would have died. We all saw and heard Van Halen 3. What a fucking mess! Both Van Halen were great, just sucks that we all have to get old!
Really enjoy and thrilled you are enjoying Van Halen as you are!! Love watching you react to their greatness.
Interesting theory out there about the album title. Former VH vocalist David Lee Roth had released a record called 'Eat 'Em and Smile' after leaving the band where he dresses up as a headhunter cannibal type character on his album cover. Van Halen's next album after that was this record here and since the band was beefing with Roth in the press a lot like rappers do today, there's a theory that OU812 is really a tongue in cheek response to Roth's album title as in 'Oh You Ate One Too?"
Love to hear your tier list by album and song. As a huge Van Halen fan that would be tough even for me!
You have to remember to do the the singles …that came off the greatest songs packages…Dave did “ Me wise Magic “ and “Can’t get this Stuff no more” and Sammy had “Humans being” one of his best off of Twister soundtrack…“ Up for breakfast “ , “ It’s about Time” and “Learning to see”
Mugs, you bringing out the lotion was hilarious.
Sorry I missed you guys live. I didn't get a notification til later
AFU is the best high energy track for me
Cabo has the cool swagger
A lot of these tracks were played in cockpit of US military aircraft on missions during the Gulf War. US Navy Blue Angels used a couple tracks for promotional videos.
Love this channel!
I need to see that full interview. Many memories of this album, feels so right is my favorite track
Right Now...great song, but from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge...we played "When Its Love" for our wedding recessional in 1992...still married so I guess it was good luck.
The circle version was terrible
@@jehudavis5422 thank you for the trolling...we played the 1988 version in 1992..."The Circle" band is a million years after that
I don't understand the Roth only camps..to me both Dave and Sammy era Van Halen's are great!! I love a good hamburger and I love a good cheeseburger..either way I'm getting fed and enjoying my meals!!
Because we felt cheated out of more hard, nasty, swaggery rock instead of love, love, love - not that that was all they played with Sam. I liked Sammy a lot prior to his coming into VH. Saw him twice in concert. Standing Hampton is an amazing record. Went to every tour with Sam. We were also just mad that Dave left. I've often said that had Dave been more like that guy on the cover of the first album instead of the vaudevillian kook he ended up being, VH could've challenged Zeppelin for greatest. Now they are part of the Trinity - LZ, AC/DC, VH. Also, many who question as you do, don't understand the initial impact. It was literally an atomic bomb detonation. All of 80's rock was a reaction to VH. P.S. Even Joe Dirt said "not Van Hagar!".
@@justme7185I understand..I was only 13 when 1984 was released so I get your point about not understanding the initial impact of the Roth era 💣
I agree totally. Both eras are the best rock and music in general. I think the Sammy era was musically where Eddie’s wanted to go. He was tired of the party band thing and hated doing covers.
The biggest reason I now hate on Sammy is because of his mouth. Constantly running down Dave throughout the decades. Like he needs to convince people he belongs. Dave doesn't do that. If he really believed in his standing with the fanbase he wouldn't keep telling us how much better he was than Dave. Lost so much respect for him because of that behavior. I loved the Van Hagar era in the early stages of it, because I couldn't understand it like I do know. That era just hasn't aged well.
“Accessible” is the word you’re looking for bro. 👍🏼
Your humming/singing of Unchained prior to AFU Naturally wired sounded like an elementary school choir LOL
Hope kitty is doing fine. ❤️ Enjoying the VH reaction! 🔥❤️
Big Van Halen fan since I was 10. This came out about 10 years later. I bought the cassette, but this was my last Van Halen album/cassette. My taste turned more to blues, which is still my favorite genre today.
Loving these VH reactions. Can't wait for the next one. While you are reacting to other groups, you should really check out Chickenfoot. It is a supergroup made up with Sammy, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). You have mentioned Deep Purple a few times. If you haven't heard Highway Star by them, check it out first. Then watch Chickenfoot perform it. You will see the same Sammy and Michael harmonies that are always on point.
I'm not sure when this album was recorded but it was after 1984 the live without a net video was in 1986. 1984 was the last album with David Lee
You can find a really good live video version of black and blue from 1989 in Tokyo.
Eddie's biggest influence was Eric Clapton, big time blues player
It has always been a battle between me and my husband about singers. He's all about DLR and I am such a big Sammy fan. The bottom line is they were both fantastic for the times they were with VH. Long live the king!!!!
When I saw them the first time they opened with this tune, awesome.
I was 18 when this came out. For unlawful carnal Knowledge is a banger
It's Montrose, the band was named after Ronnie Montrose he was the guitarist
AFU naturally wired stands for, All F...ed Up naturally wired 🤘
The AFU (Naturally Wired) was done because Pat Benatar had a song of the title “All Fired Up” in the summer of 1988
@@jerrytravelstead1075 I thought I had heard or read somewhere many years ago that it was the other AFU but, who knows thanks for the info
@jerrytravelstead1075 kind of like that Aerosmith song F.I.N.E. makes people wonder what it stands for I always thought that was pretty cool
David Lee Roth does play instruments. That’s him on guitar on “Ice Cream Man” and that’s him pickin’ with Ed on “Could This Be Magic”. Also plays piano and violin.
ooop we got ourselves a fanboy! 😆
@@raffyvalky4527 How about a fan? Fanboy is denying facts while wearing knee pads.
@@edwardblack9680 alright good point... ngl
The word is POP!
I was in high school in the early days of Van Halen. I loved them, bout killed me when they broke up. Then I bought 5150 and in my opinion. The Sammy Hagar years of Van Halen are my favorite by a long shot! 5150 and 0U812 were great albums! Dave was to much of a prima donna. He was poison, every time they tried to get back together he would screw it up! I despise the arrogance and everything about Roth! Sammy was just better! In the end though, no one can get along with the brothers for to long.
I saw an interview with George Lynch saying Eddie was always a socially awkward guy....He spent way too much time perfecting his guitar chops that other aspects of his life suffered, explains his issues with addiction.....George was part of the LA music scene from Day 1, they all supposedly learned from Terry Kilgore, the original "tapper"....
You heard a lie!
@@jehudavis5422 I guess you know more than George....lol
M, one video you must see:
Poundcake
You’ll see Eddie use a drill on his guitar!
Great reaction
I describe the Dave era vs Sammy era as, "Van Halen went from punk to prog". Meaning they went from the more gritty, edgy, shorter form song writing, to the longer more "progressive" deep thinking form of songwriting. Neither is better, they're just different. And all of it showcases Eddie's musical genius. For any flaws he had (he's human, c'mon, we all have flaws) he was truly gifted.
Mine All Mine has many layers to it. I hear one or two guitar tracks along with the synth track, throughout the whole song, plus the vocals and drums. That's fantastic song writing, how it's all knitted together in a musical tapestry. In fact Sammy had complained at one point that Eddie's music is too dense; there's too much music in what he writes and there's little to no room for the vocals. But in my view that's why we listen, to hear Van Halen's MUSIC. Because no one else made music like they did.
Deep thinking? Have you heard any of Sam’s lyrics ? Come on, now
@@edwardblack9680exactly! Nowhere near deep. Only difference is Sammy and his acolytes actually buy that shit. Say you prefer Sammy era or even that you dig it, but please for the love of all that is sacred, please spare me the deep, sophisticated, and meaningful crap.
My favourite Van Halen album with Sammy
Me too....I was 13 in 88. Introduced me to VH this Album did. Feel good album...no pun intended.
Next time you want to react to an 80s hard rock band check out Ratt. They were heavily influenced by Van Halen
the DLR-only folks are hard to deal with...I love them both and don't get the hate for one or the other...
Black and Blue was the song that won me over to Sammy...I kinda ignored 5150 when it dropped; like many diehards...but I was all in after this one.
Yup that thing on Sunday was crazy, I stuck with it, but yer right the live listers to this wouldn't have made it lol
Feels so good, ironically enough, really does make me Feel So Good!
This album was dedicated to Ed and Al's father, he died in between the 5150 and OU812 albums.
Mugs, Sam tells a lot of stories. Ray Daniels is also Rush’s manager and Al’s brother in law. You should read his perspective too. Sam contradicts himself a lot in interviews so you have to be careful.
Mugs, he’s 76 and he looks every bit of it these days.
You Rock man. Too many people reacting to B.S. Music. Keep it up.
Shame he didn't do video for When It's Love, but keep this up!!!!
Sammy is 76 according to Wikipedia he was born in 1947
should check out the live version of finish what you started and sammy’s other super group chicken foot
Approachable

Great album! The best is yet to come bro. They get better and better!
I don't know if you're planning on it already but if not, you've gotta do "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge!!!" I just say this and then let you draw your "own" conclusions from there..."They definitely EVOLVED!!!"🎸🎶🤟😝
I hate the people who say VH went softer with sammy... 5150 was almost as soft as DD... but some tracks on ou812 and then the two albums in the 90's were all heavier than the dlr era. (Except for the ballads like right now or not enough)
Ah, but they did do those weak ballads.
@@shawntripp4591 Of course they're not heavy, they're Keyboard songs! And honestly, how can you deny at the very least) EVH's songwriting for these songs!? They're beautiful! Grand, even! (Most of them)
Brad and Lex And Asia And BJ are good
Damn that circle right now absolutely was horrendous. Just milking the teet of eddie for a money grab. Absolutely embarrassing!
Black and blue is EPIC,
Try blue on black by kenny Wayne sheppard
I heard you say something about Montrose Great Band you should check them out
I knew Black and Blue would be your favorite
Huge ACDC influence I think
That's why OU812 is my favoritte Hagar era album, by a slight slight edge over Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Love 5150 though.
Van Halen was all about having fun, partying and sex! When I listen to them it puts a huge smile on my face and I see it does the same to Mug…good stuff !! I love both eras !!
Man......are you ready for next album ? This is great, but F.U.C.K. is a masterpiece (by my opinion)........
Did i miss something the last song is apolitical blues
def leppard , rolling stones , the who
Sammy and Mikey are still buds and have been rocking together long after Van Halen. I have tickets to see them both live in August this year ON MY BIRTHDAY.
The word you are looking to describe VH music with Sammy Hagar...is..."cheesy"..!!!.that's the word.
Trendy
The word you’re looking for about 30 minutes in…maybe REFINED?
Nope, refined isn't the word either
Sammy gave VH more musical flexibility. Especially going into the 90’s. VH never would’ve lasted the 90’s with Dave. The cultural landscape changed dramatically and his over the top ego driven attitude was out of fashion by then. Dave’s solo career took a nosedive by 92. But VH managed to continue being relevant.
They didn't last the 90s with Sammy either. One last weak hurrah in 91, before they fell off hard. I know Balance sold, but that was just old heads, nobody new, and even for a big fan like myself, Balance was a huge disappointment and no longer relevant at all.
Love this album (though I like "5150" better) and I LOVE Sammy's voice, but "Sucker in a 3 Piece" and "Source of Infection" are throw-away tracks. Musically, they're awesome, but lyrically/melody-wise, yikes. "Blowout!"?? wtf? Seems like they were added to the album, just to balance out the "softer" songs.
Replace those two songs with two from Sammy's solo album "Give to Live" and "Eagle's Fly" (with Eddie, Al and Mike playing, of course) would have made OU812 a WAY better overall album, imo.
David did not need to hit the high notes! His version of “high notes” were his screams and howls regardless of polish! He was animalistic with incredible energy and that was to be witnessed live. Something that STRANGELY you have yet to visit? Curious as to why no one has even suggested that Mugs watch the live in Oakland footage? It’s almost freaky that no one has even mentioned what is called the Holy Grail of early Van Halen live footage???
SMH 🤦🏻♂️… With that said, Dave was a martial artist/ gymnast who had a rap with the VH audience that was very personal. He was a hard partying cat who captured all the sensibilities of the era. Don’t get me wrong I love VH with Sammy as well. He had serious vocal chops and his own type of swag but to me it only translated audibly… To me Sammy didn’t have BOTH the unique, dynamic audio and visual sexuality of Dave. VH in the old days was a traveling circus and their show needed to be witnessed live. They throttled audiences in the late 70’s and early 80’s like no other. But I will never diss Sammy. The 70’s and early 80’s had its own unique vibe. The late 80’s brought about change and Sammy fit that bill perfectly. Love both eras!!!! regardless of polish! He was animalistic with incredible energy and that was to be witnessed live. Something that STRANGELY you have yet to visit? Curious as to why no one has even suggested that Mugs watch the live in Oakland footage?

@michaelpalermo354 you are not paying attention! We have been asking him to watch DLR live and the Oakland 81 concert - over and over. He finally said today at this live stream that he would do it (not the whole concert but there are links to choice songs.) We all need to buy him a coffee immediately to cement the deal!
@@vermontmoocow Huh.. I pay attention to the comments often and I haven’t seen one request for live in Oakland? With that said, I dont watch his videos in there entirety because he talks quite a bit so I may have missed during this episode where he agreed to give it a listen but it’s only three songs, so what’s the big deal?
Mugs, it is better when youre not dissing Dave and the original era. The band was not limited. You should probaby listen to more Dave solo music. It was more eclectic and took more chances and wasnt as focused on being as "commercial" as VH with Sam. The fanbase is divided, and a lot of it has to do with Sam fans always bashing Dave's vocals. There's more to singing than just hitting high notes. I guarantee Sam will never be able to sing Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now like Dave did, just as Dave couldnt ever sing Dreams like Sam. 🙄
Could not agree more. People are ignorant to what really made DLR special and Sammy pedestrian. That eclecticism.
Roth is a narcissist- Roth is about Roth. Sammy is about the music and the “Team”. Eddie wasn’t weak, he just wanted to make music…make sense? Congratulations to Sammy, he just got his Star on the Hollywood Walk yesterday.
Roth is a narcissist, but Sammy is as well, just more covert about it, which is worse. Dave always put the band first, it was his idea to call it VH. People talk about Dave's lack of musical ability and limited range, but he took them in so many different directions musically. Everyone talks about Ed wanting to evolve musically, but they regressed with Sammy. Creative differences between Ed and Dave, but don't tell me they grew artistically. Ed just never really accepted Dave's cultured musical influences.
Mainstream
Take everything with a grain of salt with Sam cuz he flat out lies from interview to interview. He's like Jekyl and Hyde. One interview he's bashing Ed or Dave and the next interview he loves Ed or he likes Dave and has no beef with Dave. Grade A bipolar is what Sam is.
Thank you. I've gotten sick of Sammy flapping his yapper, especially the last 20 years.
hilarious and sad watching live chat misquote so many lyrics.
David Lee Roth was the better of the two in my opinion! He sure could move as well as sing ,really sexy!
The level of the music is very weak compared to the level of your voice , so when you pause to talk your voice is blasting compared to the music. They should at least be equal. I want to feel the music. Instead I Have to keep the music low so you don't blast me with the talking. I was looking forward to rocking out and hearing the reaction. Just can't get into this when it's like this.
Sammy is 76 now. This is the weakest album from the Hagar era imo.
You skipped a different kind of truth brother!
that was almost 30 years later
So what!@@mattblatchley2061
@@mattblatchley2061your point?
@@jehudavis5422 he hasn't skipped it yet...it is much later...he's going chronological
The Hagar era in VH does not sell. The Roth era still sells. Sammy is a squeeling pig.
And if anyone says that Dave is a better singer than Sammy their crazy!
