Mean Street is also a great song that is also on this Fair Warning album, you guys definitely have to listen to that one!
Yes!
If they think Unchained's riff is good, wait til they hear the riff on Mean Street! It'll blow them away!
2nd that!
The best
Michael Anthony’s bass work in “Mean Street” is so. damn. funky. Some of his finest work ever is on this song.
So many Van Halen songs.
Drop dead Legs, Hot for Teacher ( the drum entrance is a thumbs up )
Only scratched the surface.
Their album 5150 features Sammy Hagar on lead vocals..
Also the albums OU812 and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.
Drop Dead Legs is so great!
Hagar era was garbage, you can't beat or replace roth
@@BrainMeltGaming 🤣sure you can
It’s not hard to replace someone with limited vocal range.
"Blue eyed murder in a size 5 dress" - one of the most obscure, yet killerest lyrics ever!
Right up there with Mouse wife to Momshell...
Since Summer is now here...try Van Halen's "Ice Cream Man" for a real COOOOOOOL guitar solo plus David Lee Roth's voice...it's guaranteed to satisfy!! 🍦🍦
Stop me when I'm passin' by...
I never stop
Amber was wondering about a softer side of Van Halen. First half of this song is about as soft as they get.
@@williamtaube1411 In Van Halen yes. Van Hagar was quite soft.
And Dave on the acoustic guitar intro
If you want a Van Halen song that really cooks, it’s got to be “I’m the One” off the first album. Would love to see you guys review that one.
One of there best and most guitar orientated. Kinda underrated with reactors.
Been requesting I'm the one for awhile now. They will lose their minds! 🎸🔥
Right on!!
Awesome tune ! I won an air guitar contest back in the 80's at Diego's in San Diego
'Light Up the Sky"
Michael Anthony just beating the crap out of that Bass the whole song.
This one is a definite Jam and the live version is awesome to watch
They need to hear "Sunday Afternoon In The Park", then "Ultra Bass", the live rendition.
Always love the way Michael Anthony plays. Very under rated. Even their touring manager bad mouthed his playing.
Back when I was taking bass guitar lessons, the guy who was teaching me said Michael Anthony only plays one note per song , so maybe the touring manager was on to something.
He plays more than one note per song, and even so the ones he plays he plays perfectly
He may only be playing one note, but his background vocals are peerless
Late 70s high school.... Van Halen was the best... Running with the Devil and Jamies Crying ROCKS
💣💣💣
I believe they did both of those songs.
That candid moment you mentioned is actually Dave spontaneously calling out the band’s producer in the recording booth. They decided that it sounded cool and kept that take. Classic. Genius. This is my favorite VH riff amongst many, many, many brilliant VH riffs.
I think you will both REALLy enjoy the the official video for Right Now. If you react to the song definitely do the official video because it really adds an important element.
I think it was Ted Templeton, Not sure if my memory is good enough.
@@trastonwarrior Yes it was
@@trastonwarrior That is correct. It was Ted.
Yes, I was going to point that out if nobody else did....thanks for doing so.
My favorite Van Halen song!!
J& Amber, you'll love their "You Really Got Me(Kinks cover) and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" !!
Kinks "Summer Afternoon"
Don't forget Where Have All The Good Times Gone!
This country could use a big dose of Van Halen, Led Zeppilen and AC/DC right now
You’re not kidding
Well at least we got a new ACDC album a few years ago.
Sooooo agreed
The SNOWFLAKES will MELT!
Yes indeed
If you feel like hearing Eddie at his most explosive, "I'm The One"........off the 1st album is a track that displays the tone, aggression and chops that put EVH at another level.
I'd put the guitar work in that song against anything in the genre.
Agree. One of there best. Kinda underrated with reactors.
Absolutely agree, Eddie pulls out all the stops!!
FACTS! I'm the ONE SLAPS!
@@POWER-LINKS Great song, but guitar wise, not in the same league as "I'm The One".
@@geneticrex Exactly why I'm keeping up hope they'll do Mean Street
Van Halen is awesome, both with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. RIP Eddie Van Halen.
Horrible Hagar are you kidding me
@@robertbreedon9137 It's been 30 years. Can you please grow up?
@@robertbreedon9137he was not horrible. Sammy Hagar was a great singer & musician. Dreams is one of Van Halen’s best songs.
VH is all good!!!
Alex and Eddie Van Halen...
Eddie actually started on the drums and when he got home his brother was always on his drums so he started playing guitar.
This was my first rock album. A friend got this as part of his Columbia House membership and he didn't like it. He asked me if I wanted it. I listened and it not only blew me away . . . it totally changed my life. I've been a rock and roll fanatic ever since. Thanks Joe! 😃
Ah man! The Columbia House reference brought back memories! Started with 8 tracks then upgraded to cassette!
As a 63 yr old metal fan since 1974 I saw Roth era Van Halen 4 times in Cincinnati! Eddie’s playing is truly indescribably epic! His tone & technique are groundbreaking & unparalleled IMHO!!! R.I.P. Eddie! You are truly missed & our hearts are still shattered at your passing!
Guys, as a 50-something Black male whose favorite band is Van Halen, you have no idea how happy it makes me to see the joy you get from listening to in my opinion, the greatest rock band of all time! Love it, keep it up!
One break...coming up!!! What a super line that carries the song into the change in pace. Super fun.
The bass here is phenomenal...
This has a great riff. I suggest "Dance The Night Away" and "You Really Got Me." So many great hits even the ones with Sammy Hagar.
Awesome song, as a teen in the mid 80s had a double sided cassette with Fair Warning album on one side and Women and Children First on the other side. when getting in shape for basketball season. Every night I would start running from the house listening to one album on my Walkman, when that side finished I would flip the tape and run back home to the other side. Some of y’all already know I went through a ton of AA batteries.
Sinner's swing was for wind sprints!
Remember the white covers with pink lines on the spine of the tape covers from Colombia House?
I also had that double sided cassette from Columbia House...brings back memories from the mid 80's
Please try "Little Guitars" and "Where Have All the Good Times Gone", both from "Diver Down". As others have written, so many songs in the VH catalog. "DOA" from II is awesome, and some great Sammy tunes are "Poundcake" and "Judgement Day".
Don't forget "Little Guitars Intro", right before.
Where Have All the Good Times Gone is a Kinks cover. Ed & the boys have a real knack for covering a song, regardless of the era or genre, and making it their own!
Was 14 in 1980. A new VH every summer. The greatest party band of all time.
Fair Warning was the dark album, gritty and dirty with the full brown sound.
You have only scratched the surface my friends.
One of my favorite Van Halen songs!! ❤❤
Oh and the cradle will rock and I do love drop dead legs don't really hear that much
Written by the Van Halen lineup of the first 6 albums. Produced by Ted Templeman.
The sound is raw because this was improvised.
Ted Templeman speaks, "Come on, Dave: give me a break!" L0L
RIP Eddie van Halen.
Suggested next song: I'll Wait. Live in Montreal.
“Big bad Bill” With Alex and Eddie’s father Jan Van Halen on clarinet.
or
“Could this be magic”
Two totally different from what you would expect from VH.
two great ones there!
Love how the band shows versatility with styles.
Could This Be Magic features the only female vocals VH ever used. Nicolette Larson was also working with Ted Templeman and Eddie traded work with her by appearing on her song Can't Get Away From You.
"one break coming up" classic Diamond Dave the ultimate frontman/showman! Love that you all appreciate VH
That 'interaction' in the middle of 'Unchained' was Eddie Van Halen... his brother is drummer Alex Van Halen.
This album was their 4th album 'Fair warning' in 1981. Despite the playful lyrics, this album was regarded as Van Halen's "angry" record... Van Halen was not a band that exposed their internal turmoil publicly; their image was "America's party rock band" and they kept their issues private. Years later tho, it came out that in 1981, Eddie Van Halen was frustrated w/ David Lee Roth's constant demands and Eddie wanted to work on new songs w/ keyboards and effects. The song "Jump" was actually composed that year, but Roth refused to sing on it...
The story was that Eddie wanted to 'branch out' and record a solo album w/ different singers... but Roth put a hold on that and quickly wrote lyrics for the new songs to make it a Van Halen record. In the studio, Eddie reflected that the producer Ted Templeman was really not serious about the record - one instance, he claimed that Templeman kept rejecting this guitar solo in the studio... After Templeman went home, Eddie came back, recorded the same solo... and the next morning, Templeman came in, heard that same solo on tape and said, "That's good!"🙄
The album 'Fair warning' is a favorite amongst Van Halen fans... but it was not a big commercial hit as the previous 3 albums, despite selling platinum in the US.
In 1982, Van Halen's next album 'Diver down' was half cover songs, mixed in w/ originals... and Eddie was really not happy w/ that record. The Roth era of Van Halen was over after the '1984' album was a mega hit, selling 10 million copies... But David Lee Roth could not work w/ Van Halen any more. Insiders in Van Halen were surprised the original band lasted until 1985...
Dave said you'll get some leg tonight for sure. Ted Templeton the producer said come on Dave, give me a break
The Brown Sound Album !!
Damn shame they split and same with Gunners young guys who if only they knew that the window for being brilliant is a small one
The reply to Dave in the breakdown is Donn Landee, the album engineer.
This is the one Van Halen song I never ever get tired of. I can listen to it 20 times in a row. There’s always something new every time you hear it.
I've been lucky enough to see Van Halen with all three different lead singers: DLR (twice), Sammy Hagar, and Gary Cherone (from Extreme)
That’s awesome 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I have also seen all 3 singers. 4 times with DLR , once with Sammy & once with Gary. I love Gary Cherone and he & Eddie had more time to mesh before putting that album out. I think the record company rushed them to release that record cause Sammy had released his solo album Marching To Mars , which is a great album by itself. Love Gary's other bands - Tribe Of Judah & Hurtsmile as well as of course Extreme. One of my favorite singers.
@@rogerdaly6326 the closest I’ve seen Van Halen is when I saw Sammy Hagar at Rock the Bayou in Houston back in 2008….Michael Anthony was already playing bass with him & half the set was Van Hagar hits & the other was Hagar solo hits….you can’t go wrong 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Closing my eyes and transported back to my teens wearing my Walkman turned up as loud as possible listening to one of the all-time best bands ever! Van Halen was my go-to for all out rock and roll. They never ever disappointed. Alex, Eddie, Michael and Dave. I swear i can STILL recall every guitar sound, every word, every drum beat like it's yesterday and no time has passed. Their music always made me feel so alive and into it!
Another band you'd love to check out is Mammoth WVH. Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang Van Halen, wrote and recorded his own album, playing every instrument on the album and singing all the vocals. He formed a band to tour with and used the name Mammoth which was one of the original names his father and uncle used before they decided to just use Van Halen for the band's name. For a real tearjerker, check out his video for "Distance" which is a tribute to his father. And for a really fun video, check out "Don't Back Down." Just make sure you keep watching the end of the video after the song ends.
your reactions after, "One break, coming up!" bopping to to the beat and riff was perfect. That's what Van Halen is, too me! Thank you again!
Can’t forget Micheal Anthony Thumping on that Bass!! The Whole Band was and still is one of my favorite’s!! And yes I grew up in the 80’s!!!🤘🔥
Wife here..This song is pure 🔥FIRE 🔥!!!..My FAVORITE Van Halen song..!! .Everything they do is AMAZING!!.."One break coming up"...The ad Libs in this song pure genius!!
This entire album, "Fair Warning", has a little different feel than their others, and is one of my favorites.....like an "I'm a bad ass" vibe.....but also like living your life as a young adult....you're finished with high school but you remember it so well.....and now you're trying to figure your life out....living another stage of it...and having as much fun as you can, along the way........that's what I get out of it.
This album was release in early 1981, a few months before I graduated.....so it carried on with my friends and I as part of the soundtrack to our lives as I described.
And yes, the brothers, for whom the band is named, are Alex on drums and Eddie on guitar....Alex is older by a couple of years.
As a player, you truly appreciate the genius. Not just of his playing, but of his sound, his "tone". To get those "tones" Ed butchered and created not just on his guitar, but on the electronics. The deep guttural growls of low mixed with distinct, clear, mid-range and high end? Unreal. That's why it sounds like two guitars, he chose where and when in his equipment to split, separate, and bring together all three. The sound was his. He owns it and always will.
Probably my favorite VH song! They opened with it when I saw them 10 years ago.
Women in Love is a gem, especially when you realize what the songs about 😁
Awesome!!! They were so great in concert!!!🤘🔥
"Blue-Eyed Murder in a Size Five Dress".... one of the coolest lines in rock and roll... EVER!!
I'm the One -Van Halen (studio version ) and...the song also features barbershop quartet vocals from the Band 😁😁
I recently started watching you two and I love your reactions to the music I listened to as a teen. You're my favorite..lots of love
Greatest Van Halen riff of all time! The rhythm during the lyrics is played almost like guitar solo. Ted Templeman the producer pots the sounds with guitars out of one side of the speakers and the vocals on the other
None stop talker, what a rocker
I was a teenager when this came out and it was listened to non stop. Amber you are so right, each member has personality. More than just rock, VH mixes in blues with a funky rhythm swing that almost is disguised! 🔥 ❤️🎸
Van Halen's best song ever!! Gets me pumped every time I hear it.
What I really appreciate Van Halen in the DLR era is how guitar forward some of the songs are, and this is no exception. Great choice, great reaction.
I bought both Van Halen 1 & 2 together in 79 or so -and was blown away - they have always been one of my two top fav groups 🤘🤘🤘
Van Halen is quintessential brothers! Edward and Alex! It’s still refreshing to hear newbies talk about Van Halen! My son who is in his 30s doesn’t even talk about Van Halen! However my youngest son in his 20s talks about Van Halen all the time. Keep going and doing what you do my friends
Van Halen has been my fave group since the mid 80s.
They absolutely have a light side- Eddie's jazz musician father's influence, and even his playing, show up in many songs. One of my faves is Little Guitars, which begins with a guitar intro, also call Little Guitars (that is acoustic)- all light and fun.
They also have Big Bad Bill- very jazzy, with Eddie's father playing clarinet (his father was so nervous, he couldn't get it right, and Eddie told him it was the mistakes that made it good and real.)
There's an acoustic song Could This Be Magic, and also another acoustic guitar solo called Spanish Fly that are lighter, as well.
Mark Anthony, the bass player, was the real backbone of the band. Awesome backing vocals and the driving bass made him the glue for their music!
Michael Anthony
The guitar in the left ear was the way engineer Don Landee recorded the guitars was to pan the guitar left and there is the eco, reverb of the guitar in the right side. It was to give it a live, on stage type of feel.
I wore out sooo many VH cassettes cruising around the main loop in my '73 Cutlass, both windows down, mullet blowing in the wind, and looking through my mirrored aviator shades for some leg back in the 80's. I went through 3 or 4 Woman and Children First albums. My favorite.
This is probably their heaviest album with David Lee Roth….the riff is so bloody heavy. Their tour with Black Sabbath & Eddie’s friendship with Tony Iommi influenced his tuning his guitar lower & making his riffs chunkier. Very cool!!!! Great reaction. This is definitely my favorite song in the Roth era 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Definitely my favorite VH album. Not a bad song in the album. Mean Streets is my favorite VH song, this is a close second.
@@melprophet1936 I concur sir!!! It’s miles above the 1984 album or anything else from the Roth era 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Cool info!
Saw them open for Black Sabbath back in 1978. Amazing concert.
@@markwilliams6394 damn. I’m jealous. That sounded like the dream concert. I’m sure it upped Sabbath’s game(they got a little more flashy with Dio) & influenced Eddie to create heavier riffs 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
My suggestion for the next VH, would be Mean Street. It’s off of the same album, Fair Warning. Monster tune!
AIN'T TALKIN 'BOUT LOVE is a must!!!
"Take Your Whiskey Home".... from Women and Children First... great blues tune from VH.
I was a senior in HS when VH's first album came out. After that I was lucky enough to see them 3 times. Donington park in 1984 (in England), In Shreveport, LA and St. Petersburg, FL. Once with DLR and the other two with Sammy. Eddie was a force of nature! RIP. Alex is Eddie's brother and the drummer. Alex is trying to get a tribute tour going. We'll see how that works out? VH has had its problems with getting things like this to come to fruition as of the last decade. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Running with the Devil has some really good EVH riffs!!
One of Van Halen's absolute bests!!
Eddie & Alex (drums) Van Halen were the constants throughout every incarnation of Van Halen.
David Lee Roth was lead singer 1974-85, 1996, 2007-2020.
Michael Anthony, bass 1974-2006.
Sammy Hagar sang 1985-‘96 & 2003-‘05.
Gary Cherone sang 1996-99.
Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie’s son, played bass 2007-2020.
This song ruled my world from day one as a 14yr old all the way through today. It just sprays fire while still retaining a fun edge! I feel so fortunate to have seen them 7 times.
Apart from holding down the bottom line on bass, Michael Anthony is also responsible for the signature Van Halen high-pitch harmonies in the pre-chorus and chorus, "Thought you'd never miss me till I got a fat city address..."
Fair Warning is, by far, my favorite Diamond Dave era VH album. Cover to cover, just nothing but killer songs.
That other "give me a break" voice belongs to Ted Templeman, VH's producer. The band recorded this album (and others) with live takes in the studio. During that moment in the song, Dave sees Ted all suited up behind the glass in the Sunset Sound sound booth and, voila, that spur of the moment jive is captured forever.
I'm sure the "you'll get some leg tonight for sure, tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo!"
part came in the song was for their female fans looking to get with the band members after their concert gigs!
Best VH song imo. RIP Eddie. The greatest.
The energy - and honesty - of you two is refreshing. And admirable. Instant subscribe…
That little break in the song, where they say "Come on Dave, give me a break"...DLR was in the studio singing and one of the label's executives came into the sound room with a fine suit on. DLR made the comment about his suit and they kept it in the recording.
Bass is Michael Anthony, drums Alex Van Halen who holds the rights to the name after Eddie's death. Mammoth Wolfgang Van Halen is Ed's son; distance is the song for Wolfgangs band about Eddy.
This might be my favorite VH song...that riff is otherworldly hard rock like no other. It might be tied for #1 for me with Runnin' With The Devil (for its hard, breakout sound for 1978), Panama (best song off of 1984), and Outta Space from the 2012 album (honestly, it's amazing).
Cool again. :) One thing you might want to know about Eddie is that when he recorded his tracks, he played the solos on the same track as the recording and recorded the rhythm for the solos afterwards on a separate track. It gave a more "live" feel to the recorded tracks and defo worked well for them. :)
So we've got Eddie, and brother Alex on drums. Their father Jan (sounds like yawn) was a Jazz musician.
He joins them on the song, Big Bad Bill (is Sweet William Now) on clarinet. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The drummer is Alex Van Halen, Eddie's older brother. This is an awesome song! I also recommend: DOA, Mean Street, Ice Cream Man, Everybody Wants Some, Humans Being (with Sammy Hagar on vocals).
Can't forget who the drummer is...Eddie's older brother Alex with KILLER drum beats highlighting and enhancing Eddie's masterful riffs. He's one of my favorite drummers ever!!
They had sooo many good songs. Try Dreams (The Blue Angels video), Can't Stop Loving You, Right Now (Cool piano intro), Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do) with a beautiful clean guitar distortion in the beginning and I think you should do Jump again but this time together with Amber. Van Halen Rocks!
Sadly every one of those choices sucks besides Jump because it’s the Vanfaggar era…..
That's all tame Van Halen for kittens. There's no Van Halen like their first era, it was simply incomparable.
@@MrDantres I meant only DLR era…Van Haggar not on the radar
Michael on the bass and Alex on the drums always get overlooked, but the bass riff on this song is a killer.
Amber’s reaction to Eddie’s solo when she just freezes in her tracks at 3:42 and then just laughs a few seconds later at the sheer genius of EVH makes me so satisfied
I could've sworn that y'all already heard this live.
I have "Woohoo! Take a look at this!" as my notification ringtone.
*Check out "Sunday Afternoon In The Park" from the same album.*
I heard their 1st single just before I turned 13 in the spring of '78 and was an immediate fan. I have several of their albums that have been played so much they're nearly see-through.
Another satisfied customer on van halen. There is vanhalen in all of us. High octane rock enjoy!
Off the first album "I'm the One" and "Atomic Punk" are great songs from EVH. The whole album rocks but those two show off his unbelievable talent.
So right!! You can never go wrong with Van Halen!! ✌❤
The drummer is Eddie's brother Alex, very underrated drummer. And Michael Anthony is superb on the base and has excellent backing vocals arguably sings better than their normal front men
My first concert. They were in their prime. Thank you God I got to see most of the cool bands!
Great example of the fun vibe that was Van Halen. Diamond Dave is such a ham. Greay reaction
I went to a concert for this tour. Loudest one I ever attended. My ears rang for two days.
Trust me it was a blast growing up in the 70s and 80s. Saw Van Halen several times. They were so magical and full of energy. Eddie was so talented and so genius not only on the guitar. But the piano and keyboard, there was nothing he couldn't do. RIP EDDIE we miss you.
Van Halen is soo ANIMALISTIC,..Brings it out in EVERYONE : )
Love watching you both react to songs that I grew up with!!! Reminds me of the first time I heard these songs.
"Ain't Talking 'bout love", "Top Jimmy", "Mean Street" and more! So Many VH songs still waiting for you!
Van Halen with David Lee Roth & Sammy Hagar we're just INCREDIBLE!!! ❤
A teenage boy band at a time when I was a teenage boy. They were on top along with Boston, The Cars, The Police, Boston, Blondie, Heart, Led Zep, Robin Thrower, Pat Benetar, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Ted Nugent, Kansas, Floyd, Jethro Tull.... I'm sure I left out a dozen or more bands..... Any of which is better than any current musical options. Every week there was another epic song newly dropping by some epic band simultaneously on all 3 rock channels in Seattle (KISW, KZOK, KJR) that are being validated by all y'all reactors. You two especially would have loved it. My playlist hasn't changed much in 40 years.
W024- THEIR MASTERTPIECE!
The FILTHY RAW side of the BEST Hard Core Rock Band of our Era🤘
the drummer is eddies grandfather -and the bass player is his cousin -the singer is his stepfather ....amazing band - they were formed by eddies mother Jan van halen with clarinet in 1966
And the cradle will rock! It jams. That was 1 of my 1st 8 tracks
Glad you discovered the magic of the original VH lineup! They were simply unstoppable i “n that era.
Amber & Jordan, First of all, RIP to the Greatest Guitar Player of all time. Period!!!! Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen's still has great music that U guys have to do. God Bless The Van Halen Fam.
This is one of their best. Thanks for reacting. I really enjoyed this one. :)
The stereo effect you talk about is based on how The Beatles would isolate the sound as if it was a live performance. So, Eddie would be stage left, thus the riff is coming at your left ear.
I was looking for someone to address this . I heard this before but also wasn't sure if it was because of their headphones 🎧.
