its pure entertainment and i actually enjoy it even as im laughing my ass off when he's snapping his fingers and doing a little jig of a dance with a cheesy smile. Never though i'd see the day of high kicks replaced by this. Nice job!!
That finger snapping and vocal style is all swing and jazz. Not a Bluegrass thing about his vocals at all. It’s quite the juxtaposition against the very talented band.
@@user-jn8eg2tc8z read my post again. It’s all complimentary. Grew up with VH and they played in my backyard. Love them. Like a couple culture club songs too.
I have this patched through my stereo. It sounds great. I love the antics of Mr. Roth . He always entertains me and makes me smile. We should all be as happy as David Lee Roth.
I've been listening to Dave 4/35 years he's unique writer ...a happy person and has brought a lot more positive things into this world than a lot of other people ... think whatever you want... he still smiling and his toes are tapping!
Dude, That's a UNION SOLO... Musician's union. Props to the fellas who were honestly paid that night. John Jorgenson (mandolin) made this happen, you should lookup all the careers he's had.
This so AWESOME, like playing jump in an old pub before technology was even a thing! Imagine this with a time machine 😂 The locals would be shook. That banjo part has me shook for sure. The singer is also awesome and high energy, he makes me smile!
The coolest guy ever turns into an embarrassing skit with dentures falling out and all. This is not Dave being dave, it's Dave having a severe midlife crisis.
In high school (80's) David was a flamboyant rock-god to us so i didn't know what to think of this. Now i watched it a few times and actually like it a lot :) It's a good rendition of this classic song and DLR seem to enjoy it.
I just love this song,it doesn’t matter if it’s the Rock ‘n Roll version or the Country one… I just love the excitement he sings this song,he could actually use some jumps,but he’s not that young any longer,well,if I was 68 I wouldn’t be jumping around either. 🤔🤗😊
When they talk about some musicians needing to hit that absolute final "ROCK BOTTOM" before healing can begin, this will have to be the first referenced piece of material from now on! You can not fucking be serious..
Dave is like the crazy cult leader that makes the class sit down and do “ sing time”. Can’t help but love him. Will be a sad day when he passes through this realm.
Oh Dave, why would you do this. I wish I could un-hear it but the damage is done. Such an iconic song from my youth, some things should be left alone, this is one of them and Eddie is rolling in his grave. And now I’m gonna go slap my brother in the face for sending me this video.
So... after watching this, I felt lessened for having done so. Fortunately I continued on to the comment thread, and somehow find myself feeling a whole lot better. Creativity is not dead. At least not in the comment thread.
Ultimate blessing in disguise. Hearing this monstrosity forced Eddie and Alex to swallow their pride and get back with Dave to prevent him from further bastardizing the discography.
I remember seeing this when it aired. Went out the next day and bought the cd. Only thing I didn't like is Dave wasn't on all of the tracks. He did a great job here and had fun doing it. Great frontman.
This is easily the most disturbing thing I've seen all year, I had no idea it even existed. I wish it had stayed that way. Holy fuck, I don't know that I'll ever recover from seeing this. I'm going to go throw up now, bye.
I don't agree with you at all Joseph, sorry. Everyone executes this very well, except for one person, and his name is David Lee Roth. His energy is there, his confidence is there, but his talent is absolutely nowhere to be found. And I'm not saying this because I don't like the style, I actually prefer folk rock to synth/power rock, but David Lee Roth's vocal performance is very, very poorly executed. I mean VERY poorly executed.
Super Dooper!!! Can you believe Dave is 67 now? Some of the best concerts I ever went to back in the 80s when I was young and foolish. Saw Van Halen in Asheville and Johnson City. Gerry in Asheville, NC
Why haven't i seen this before? THIS is what UA-cam was invented for
its pure entertainment and i actually enjoy it even as im laughing my ass off when he's snapping his fingers and doing a little jig of a dance with a cheesy smile. Never though i'd see the day of high kicks replaced by this. Nice job!!
That finger snapping and vocal style is all swing and jazz. Not a Bluegrass thing about his vocals at all. It’s quite the juxtaposition against the very talented band.
We are not young forever my friend. Get over it or don't watch. Culture Club for you?
@@user-jn8eg2tc8z read my post again. It’s all complimentary. Grew up with VH and they played in my backyard. Love them. Like a couple culture club songs too.
This is a perfect example of artists not taking themselves too seriously!
I hope so.
But dave actually is
Dave's trying pretty hard.
Exactly!! Cheerful weirdo is what I love about Dave
He's an entertainer. Do you expect him to just phone it in?
As a musician, I have nothing bad to say about this! The musicians are enjoying it and DD is his usual jubilant self!
Your more of a dumbass than Dave then
Agree. The talent backing DD on stage is legendary.
Ok now we need bluegrass versions of "Dirty Movies" and "House of Pain". 🤠🤘
I have this patched through my stereo. It sounds great. I love the antics of Mr. Roth . He always entertains me and makes me smile. We should all be as happy as David Lee Roth.
Dave is a total goofball but I have to say i'm pleasantly surprised by how GOOD his vocals are here! Rock on Dave!
Agreed
David Lee Roth is the happiest guy on rock n roll, how much joy in singing !!!
I just love Diamond Dave. In all his incarnations. The end of Hot For Teacher, he was going to be a game show host. I can see that and I would watch
I've been listening to Dave 4/35 years he's unique writer ...a happy person and has brought a lot more positive things into this world than a lot of other people ... think whatever
you want... he still smiling and his toes are tapping!
And when you got that... Then you have The Attitude.
-Mike Damone
I just love David Lee Roth. His smile his voice his charisma he is always so positive
always smiling always
That's how you act being off your meds
Finally we discover the real reason Jay Leno was fired...
it's so nice to hear a familiar song of my youth preformed in such an unorthodox manner by the original artist.
Bluegrass musicians are top notch ! Good work !
I cannot believe this is almost 20 years old...
LOVE THIS. Especially the banjo solo.
Besides those musicians knocking my socks off the thing I like best is that David Lee Roth is having so much fun.
DLR is an icon.. Our generation needs him around... Appreciate while we have him!
Brilliant dave. Well done.
Dave kills this! What a great version with a fantastic band behind him!
Voice is "scherbele" German word for 🤮
Dude, That's a UNION SOLO... Musician's union. Props to the fellas who were honestly paid that night. John Jorgenson (mandolin) made this happen, you should lookup all the careers he's had.
There only is the band. That's the only thing worth listening to. And I loved Diamond Dave when he was the King of the Hill.
Good eye! Guy from 2012. Are you still alive?
@@crocopcowboy4837😂
After awhile it gets catchy,you got to admit the musicians are very good...so JUMP!
This isn’t bad at all! It’s super goofy and fun and I love it
This so AWESOME, like playing jump in an old pub before technology was even a thing! Imagine this with a time machine 😂 The locals would be shook. That banjo part has me shook for sure. The singer is also awesome and high energy, he makes me smile!
everyone dogging on david, but he's no different than he ever was, he is happy full of life, goofy, but in the end, he is uniquely extreme!
He's a self indulging baffoon
He could never sing .Van Halen was about edward.Sammy on the other hand was the singer.Why came off of potent guitar driven tracks.Band was good here.
Builderman912 ... and he still can’t sing.
The coolest guy ever turns into an embarrassing skit with dentures falling out and all. This is not Dave being dave, it's Dave having a severe midlife crisis.
I think this is a sign if desperation.
Bruh snapped tbh. Was only a matter of time.
In high school (80's) David was a flamboyant rock-god to us so i didn't know what to think of this.
Now i watched it a few times and actually like it a lot :)
It's a good rendition of this classic song and DLR seem to enjoy it.
If I ever decided to end it...this will be the last thing I will watch.
omg you are fucking hilarious!
Hahahahahahahhaahaha
You definitely can't blame the band. They did the best they could.
Gives jump a whole new meaning.
Please don’t jump!
Still sounds like awesome diamond Dave brings me back to the 80's !! God bless you diamond Dave keep on trucking!!!
I didn't realize how much i never needed to hear a country version of Van Halen sung by DLR & a grass band.
Why?? They are So AMAZING TALENT than u ussls
I love the guy doing backup vocals trying to get as off time, or whatever is wrong... as DLR. he actually pulls it off really well.
This is just awesum! Roth rules!
I just love this song,it doesn’t matter if it’s the Rock ‘n Roll version or the Country one… I just love the excitement he sings this song,he could actually use some jumps,but he’s not that young any longer,well,if I was 68 I wouldn’t be jumping around either. 🤔🤗😊
I couldn't just take everyone's word for it. Never get that time back!
When they talk about some musicians needing to hit that absolute final "ROCK BOTTOM" before healing can begin, this will have to be the first referenced piece of material from now on! You can not fucking be serious..
Dave is like the crazy cult leader that makes the class sit down and do “ sing time”. Can’t help but love him. Will be a sad day when he passes through this realm.
It will be.
Eruption on the banjo was phenomenal. Don't know the banjo players name right off but he's great. The album was genius.
Scott Vestal
😆😁that smile is killer !
Sent this to an old friend who loves bluegrass and hates rock n' roll.. He loathed it...called it pop grass....mission accomplished.
I'm a musician, love Van Halen, this is actually pure musical genius.....
But Dave can't sing
I'm the biggest VH fan on the planet...but please...fill my ears with concrete!
I think it would be cool to hang out with DLR. This guy was my hero back in the 80s.
Never drink at Acapulco's before performing one of the greatest rock songs ever!
I always loved the original version but I also thought this was very entertaining.
havin fun and being real... he looks clean and fit. nothing tops a good dobro/banjo combo...
Oh Dave, why would you do this. I wish I could un-hear it but the damage is done. Such an iconic song from my youth, some things should be left alone, this is one of them and Eddie is rolling in his grave. And now I’m gonna go slap my brother in the face for sending me this video.
Why??? They are SO GOOD..SO TALENT..NICE BANJO'S SOLO
Just go listen to the original on a big sound system and then ask me that again 😞😖
Everybody works with someone who looks, dresses, and acts like Dave in this performance
So... after watching this, I felt lessened for having done so. Fortunately I continued on to the comment thread, and somehow find myself feeling a whole lot better. Creativity is not dead. At least not in the comment thread.
THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO 'JUMP' OUT THE WINDOW!
.....make sure your on the 20th floor, moron!
timgraysontv 😂
David Lee Roth looks like a registered homosexual...
@bill lyons Nope. I'm perfectly normal.
normal for a homosexual.
Wow I just completely surprised 😁 really didn't expect this. Wow awesome ❤️🤘
AWESOME! THANKS FOR THIS MUSIC MR. ROTH!
That goofy grin ! I love it !
I jumped while watching this. Think I broke my hip.... Oh dear.
Did someone put some acid in my coffee??
Best reason I've ever seen for uninventing the interweb.
How good are these guys ?? That was a killing !
My brain cannot comprehend what I just saw.
Some things just can't be unseen.
Looks like a fun time had by all.....also this was just 2 years before Tim Russert's shocking passing.
He was in the prime of his career at NBC.
DLR is such. Goofball! Love him! 🥳
Bluegrass rules! 🪕 🎸 🎻 🎶
If Hell has MTV, this is the only video. 24 hours, 7 days a week.
I love this & I Love Dave... We need more people in the world like the joyful crazy Dave x x x x
Dave is so happy. Love the guy.
Fully support. Ok 97% support. Incredible musicians
To each his own. I love both versions. X
Look who's on bass! Charlie Chadwick! Hi Charlie! We miss you in San Diego! Y'all sound great and havin' fun~
Génial ,ça déménage .👍👍👍🇫🇷👏👏👏😎.explosif !
This is giving me goosebumps, it's rockin'!
Your daft
Actually it's scary how good this fits Dave. With hin it was always about goofing around and entertaining above anything else 😂
My soul hurts.
This version is kinda fire I wasn’t expecting that
Wtf? I can never unhear this again. Fuck.
Absolutely overwhelming to hear sucha Masterpiece re-done this way,Talent has no Genre,it's MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now we reaòòy have to Jump!!!
When the diabolical interrogator says ,”We have ways of making you talk” that’s what this is.
That was awesome !!!! Well done Dave .
Finally the most over played 80's song of all time given a nice twist .
IN country music everyone takes a solo on their instrument. I love this!
It's only on DLR.. I grew up with him. He's the best one ever!
awesome!! love ya dave!!
I never liked this song but this is so entertaining. Great job dlr.
Fantastic!
Ultimate blessing in disguise. Hearing this monstrosity forced Eddie and Alex to swallow their pride and get back with Dave to prevent him from further bastardizing the discography.
The musicians are really impressive. Dave seems completely out of his element.
Todd Humphrey you’ve got to be kidding. he’s awesome in this, loving it! totally IN his element.
Coldacre lmao 😂 which performance were you watching?? He looks like he has a corn cob up his butt
@@StrawberryJam806 that's how we do things in bluegrass
Dave digs this shit. He's an all music lover.
I remember seeing this when it aired. Went out the next day and bought the cd. Only thing I didn't like is Dave wasn't on all of the tracks. He did a great job here and had fun doing it. Great frontman.
People hating on this clearly have no respect or appreciation for music at all.
Why? Because they have a different opinion than yours?
I think Eddie would've loved that banjo and violin solo rendition! I know I definitely loved it
YEAAH 😎😎🎸
This is just way toooooo goooood!!
This is awesome!!!!
Love it!
This is easily the most disturbing thing I've seen all year, I had no idea it even existed.
I wish it had stayed that way. Holy fuck, I don't know that I'll ever recover from seeing this. I'm going to go throw up now, bye.
Ha ha ha y read my mind.. But it's like an addiction ..I cant stop
OMG.. I'm on my husband's Google!!! Sorry honey..
man he can still hit those high notes...
Comment didn’t age well
So can most cats in heat.
This is the exact moment we entered the alternative time continuum...
the greatest thing these eyes have ever seen
This album is wonderful - just because we're used to the standard versions , it shouldn't take away about how well executed it is.
I don't agree with you at all Joseph, sorry. Everyone executes this very well, except for one person, and his name is David Lee Roth. His energy is there, his confidence is there, but his talent is absolutely nowhere to be found. And I'm not saying this because I don't like the style, I actually prefer folk rock to synth/power rock, but David Lee Roth's vocal performance is very, very poorly executed. I mean VERY poorly executed.
He is having fun. I love it.
Super Dooper!!! Can you believe Dave is 67 now? Some of the best concerts I ever went to back in the 80s when I was young and foolish. Saw Van Halen in Asheville and Johnson City. Gerry in Asheville, NC
This needs to be stricken from the interwebs. It's just...bad beyond words.
WOW!! THAT BANJO SOLOOO!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😎😎😎😤😤🎸🎸🎸
Grt stuff “ mr wigs and shoes !” Your voice sounds great no matter what style u apppy it to ; but , totally made for rock and roll
My favorite version of Jump. What joy. It appears that David Lee Roth is enjoying himself. What a happy song.
This is great..pure DLR! Diamond Dave rules, rock on!!!
I love Van Halen, and this is AWESOME! Feel good clip! :D
