This is the best Van Halen. Y'all can keep your Jump.
@@PANIC_aka_PinD How do you get that with Jump? You get that is DLR singing?
All other VanHalen songs are better than "Jump"
ABSOLUTELY.
Yeah we ain't into those Jump ass Keyboards.
You picked the single lamest Van Halen song to call out…and even still jump is a decent song
This was Van Halen at their absolute peak. This whole record is a master class of guitar playing
💯👍🏻
got that right.....i saw them on this tour...in june at the boston gardens...i was 16 😋👍
An absolutely classic. Love this album.
This not really remastered brother, guitar is right in you face, not in the back.
Every classic VH album was a masterclass in not only guitar, but attitude, songwriting and swagger. Loved those days.
I cannot believe this song was not a major hit of The Mighty Van Halen, however, for the true VH fans... it's one of their best!!!
This song got a lot of airplay on Philly radio when it came out.
Proof that 80 % of folks can't handle the best music. They want something softer, simpler...
That's because Broadcasting Executives didn't accept the way that Van Halen kicked the door in on the industry.
Didn't matter though, we all know they were #1.
The whole album wasn't a hit. They had to pay radio stations to play songs off it.
Ya. I get it that these aren't what the mainstream wants to hear, but as a VH fan since 80 this is where it is at! My friends fave song and my 3rd gave. Whole album is great. Heck. To me the first 6 albums were great.
Love it when David Lee Roth sings "Lord, strike that poor boy down" and Eddie strikes with a zap of guitar lightning!
I was thinking the exact same thing as I was listening!
Gives me goosebumps. 😅
@@KRUZradio That’s been giving me goosebumps over 40 years!
yeah that pick slide was pure aggressive precision in its attack for sure.
ELECTRIC!!!
This album was from 1981. Probably remastered in 2015. Amazing album. All 4 band members at the top of their game!!!
Bought all the remastered CD's for the car way back when but ended up recording my original vinyl to disc instead 'cause the remasters were lacking that _edge!_
Big Mike lay'n down those fat ass bass lines. Crushed it!!!!
100%
Nobody in this band was slacking here for sure. Michael and Alex tend to get overlooked, but everybody's giving 100%.
But at least he mentioned Mike's harmonies on vocals😂.
Mike is often underappreciated and overlooked, he deserves his due. He was a monster player and his vocals were incredible.
This is one of my favorite Van Halen songs!!! Thanks for the reaction!!!
100% 🔥
Their best album, imo! You would love the whole thing. 🤘🤘Sinner's Swing, Dirty Movies, Unchained...so much funk, groove and hard rockin throughout. Please keep going, Mugs!! Thanks.
Oh man.. I was just going to say the same 2. :)
Saved me the typing. Hah
It was a great time to be 15 back then.
Hear about it later is also a nice track off the album (Fair Warning)
31 minutes and change of 80s awesomness!
"Hear about it later" and "Push comes to shove" are my absolute favorites. And if I had a coming-down-to-the-ring song it would be "Sunday afternoon in the park"!
Hear About It Later
The guitar work on this album is sick. Eddie's tone is untouchable here.
100%. Masterpiece.
Damn right. This is their best album. I was a kid, 11 years old when I heard this in 1981, but still listen today.
Check out their debut album. That's the real ticket.
Same here, same age too. I just haven’t listened to this on in a very long time. I’d forgotten how bad ass this was. 🎶🤘😎⚡️🎸
Pretty much same. Born late Dec 68
That intro came about when Eddie Van Halen wondered what would happen if you did slap bass technique on guitar. He was a constant experimenter and was always trying new things on guitar. This song is also a great example of Eddie's prowess as a rythym player. It goes without saying he was a monster lead guitarist,but his rythym skills are often overlooked.
Yes, if you get down to it Eddie was really a music geek, happy experimenting with new things.
I sometimes wonder what would have happened if he'd have ended up in some progressive rock band like Rush, Yes or ELP.
Maybe I smoke too much weed😂.
Some of Eddie's best guitar work!
Eddies dad was a jazz musician and mom was classically trained, VH is the offspring. I love it!
DLR in one of his Rogan interviews talks about when they were playing local bars, having to play pop, rock, funk, disco and whatever the club owners wanted, and having to master all those styles.
One of my favorite Van Halen songs. Glad you liked it so much!! I've had Eddie's opening riff to this song as my phone's ringtone for like 15 years, lol
Me too!
"Mean Streets" will rock you into the next county. Killer song beyond next level!🤘🤘🎸🎸🔥🔥
Hey M, back in 1983, i used to bump this loud out of my 68 Cal Style VW in the parking lot of my high school when we would leave for lunch and then coming back, and the school security used to always give me shit for playing my rock music to LOUD ! those were the days ...
Hot for Teacher in my midnight blue '81 Trans Am a few years after you. VH was the 80's.
that's awesome brother, yeah I'm from SoCal and remember when they called themselves "Mammoth" @@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer
Those were the days!!!! I’m sure every generation feels theirs was the best but in this case I feel confident, the world will never see another musical era like ours!!!
@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer awesome !
Van Halen has and always will be my favorite band. The more I listen, the more I love it. 45 years and still blows my mind how good they were.
💯🤙🏻
❤❤❤
Nailed it. 🤘🏻😎
The guitar, bass and drum work in this banger is phenomenal
And DLR sprinkling his flash + bullsh*t over the top. 😂
The intro is a showcase of Eddie Van Halen incredible talent... no one can recreate that sound.
The outro is amazing too
man i heard this song a million times never gets old.
I think what makes reaction videos so popular, especially on songs like this one, is people are able to relive hearing it for the first time through someone else. We've heard it dozens of times and love it, but can never have that first experience again, and let's face it, everyone we hang out with has already heard it, too. It's what makes it fun.
Now I want hear the song Dirty Movies.
more Van Halen MORE!! thank you for the great reaction
I loved all their albums but fair warning was their most raw album
My favorite!
This was Van Halen at their absolute peak. Having received their Fair Warning release when it first hit the shelves in 1981...when I dropped the needle on the first groove of that killer opener of " Mean Street ", I was hooked for life. This cut really defined my tough teen years. Well into my adult years. This was Eddie at his absolute finest. Before Dave sold out to himself.
Every song in this LP was incredible. Sumner of 1981 my buddy bought this on 8 track for his car and with a booster and my stereo speakers in the back seat we jammed to this lp all summer.
81? Wow these guys were way ahead of their time. This song holds up in any era.
Fair warning was their best lp imo. Every song was good.
People don't put enough shine on Eddie and Michael, esp., Mike's background harmonies. Best in hard rock.
ALL Time Playlist 🔥🔥🔥🤘
Fair Warning was said to be a message to Dave that he was on the verge of being fired. Even if not true, this whole album plays as angry and raw. Eddie was on fire, Alex pounded the skins, Michael's harmony vocals are perfect, and DLR had serious soul and richness to his lead vocals.
Untrue,there was friction over which direction to take there music but there wasn’t any firings or issues
Michael Anthony said this is his favorite album
One of my favorite VH songs!
Hands down, the best Van Halen song.
My 3rd fave.
1) Ain't Talkin Bout Love
2) Unchained
3) Mean Streat
4) Panama
5) Simple Ryhme
@@rothed16I approve of this list. Sneak Jamie's crying in there maybe? 👌💪🤘
My absolute favorite VH song. I was 12 years old when I first heard this in 1981. My sis bought the cassette on a vacation road trip to Montana. We were rockin' out! Seen them 5 times with Dave, 5 with Sammy. All killer! Check out Unchained, from the same album, and Top Jimmy from 1984 album. They rock!
Yea it’s heavy but super funky. That’s why Van Halen was my favorite band in high school (1983). Saw these guys live 3 times in high school
Try " The full Bug" " Outta love again" " Take your whiskey home" "Romeos Delight" " So this is love" " Drop dead legs " the list goes on and on . 👍
I was blasting the Full Bug yesterday. That song makes Christopher Reeve tap his toes!
Hang ‘Em High … listen to the isolated guitar track on UA-cam
No van Hagar we are talking Van Halen
The original had all the panoramic stereo effects as well. I just heard the remaster for the 1st time! 😎
The magic of EVH on full display. Shout out to Michael Anthony on this track for sure.
When this album dropped it changed everything for me regarding music and storytelling. To this day some of the best concerts I've ever seen, even if I have absolutely lost a portion of my hearing from their excessive concerts in the 80's; if you know you know.
Love this stuff so much, one thing VH always had is a really damned strong groove. You could pick a song at random and always find something interesting in it.
Check out Runnin' With The Devil for a great all-rounder on their sound with the first singer (David Lee Roth) - They changed directions with Sammy Hagar and it's like a different but equally awesome band
Been a =VH= fan since I was a kid. I'll be 54 in 2 days,, this is still my favorite Album and song!
Favorite album by VH
Favourite song as well
Man, I can feel you FEELIN' this song! Thank you for helping me refeel this amazing song!
Does my heart good to see how much you enjoy this song!
The Album Cover is a collage of some images from a painting called The Maze from the 1950's (William Kurelek) It depicts his tortured youth. It's quite a disturbing painting. It's fun trying to pick out the bits in the painting that Van Halen used for the cover. It's not as easy as you'd imagine.
This Man definitely gets it!!! Especially getting off on the outro!!! Pure brilliance. Most reactions talk through it. Likely the best part of the song. Love that you replayed it! You da man!!!
Glad you enjoyed
Great reaction. I know other VH songs, but I first heard this a year ago from a reaction video.
Im 52 now but back in the day this would be blasting out of the speakers of my 78 Trans Am, t-tops out, cruising the mean streets of Philly in the late 80s and early 90s. Brings back good memories. I was also jamming some Run DMC, LL Cool J, and NWA. I listened to it all. Still do. Check out Van Halen's Tattoo and Me Wise Magic. Great songs that Van Halen did with David Lee Roth on vocals later on after the Sammy Hagar years.
Me Wise Magic. That song still sometimes gives me the same thrill I got back in ‘96. That rug pull hurt almost as bad as when they split in ‘85
That my friend is the raw power of VH! Glad you liked it! 😎💯
One of my favorite songs by VH. The whole album is good too. Good job dude. Rock on. Jam this in you car. REAL nice
Haha, you’re hooked! Welcome to the club, saw them in 1981 with this album. Unchained live 81 Oakland , gotta check them out live ✌️
I grew up with this music, it's AWESOME to wtch MUCH younger people enjoy this as much as us OG's do!!!
This is why I love reaction videos. Home run. It’s fun seeing someone react to each part. I knew this would get him hype. Good 1
Favorite album by them for me ! I was 16 when this came out and times were kicking ! Then saw them live for the next album and tour in '82 !
So glad to see people recognizing the funkiness of this tune. One of my fave VH tunes of all time.
Crunchiest hardest intro ever imo. No one sounds like EVH! One of the GOATs
This is my favorite VH tune of all time!! I was in high school when this came out!!
Great reaction, my absolute favorite Van Halen jam.
Listen when says Lord Strike That Poor Boy Down, and Eddie makes his guitar sound like a lightning bolt!!!! Awesome!
Thank you, young man, for the memories. Remember the first time hearing this riding around in my friends Mustang. This was way back in 1981. It never gets old. Van Halens 'best" album! 👍
Classic Kick-Ass Van Halen. I was in high school when I first heard this album. I believe I owned the vinyl LP. Every song is great on this record during their darkest effort. Ed was getting married, the beginning of a power struggle, drugs, alcohol issues etc. Read the book, Running with the Devil. Eye opening if you're a DLR-era VH fan.
This was the album Edward said he released a lot of pent-up, pissed off energy on. Saw them live in' 81, on this tour. First thing that caught my eye when the lights went up, was the massive mountain of P.A. speakers right in the middle of a busy city street backdrop. Edward was primed from the start, wasnt even wearing a shirt when he hit the stage. Mind blowing show.❤️
I was driving to the Jersey shore. Long Beach Island on the Garden State Parkway. Just bought the cassette and my buddy popped it in as soon as we hit the Parkway. I had to remember I was driving. Banging my head lol. Great times
Van Halen's best album, so of course, the one that sold the least and panned by lots of critics.Eddie Van Halen at his best, wrote and performed most of this album in seclusion and cocaine crazy, arranged ,recorded and mastered by genius's, so wonderfully balanced.
I love how short(sort of) this song is, give you a taste and wanting more.
My favorite Van Halen album. It ROCKS!!! 🤘😠
This is my favorite VH song with Dave.
Really glad you liked it,keep on rockin!!!!!
Some of eddie’s outro’s had some of his funkiest riffs too, gotta listen till the end on every track.
I was 12 years old, we built a quarter pipe, for skateboarding, it went to vertical, we were having fun, trying to get to the top. A local newspaper reporter came by. I was delivering papers, I was on the front. We were inspired by this album, back when you had albums. 1978.
VAN HALEN D.O.A.
Yes!
Watching your video just gave me an epiphany as to why I like reaction videos so much. First of all, VH was my very first fav band as a kid in the 80s. And in that era one of my favorite things to do was to listen to music with my friends And I can remember the day I heard this song, where I was, who I was with and how we felt about it. It was almost as if you were a part of our crew (picture The Stranger Things kids 😂) but this is an activity adults don’t really do anymore and I think I crave it and it’s an itch that is ever so slightly fulfilled hanging out with you and listening to these songs for the time again. Thank you my friend! ✌️ 🙏🏼
i remember the day i heard this, having brought it home from the record store. I purchased it with Billy Squier, Don't Say No . Another amazing full on classic record. You should take a listen to something off of that as well. Every VH record for a while, had some groundbreaking guitar work on it. Glad you enjoyed this and discovered the amazing VH.
Best album , long live Eddie Van Halen, thanks for the reaction
This was originally called Voodoo Queen from their club days before they were famous.
David Lee Roth IS a Black artist. You could tell that from Runnin With The Devil. By the time Fair Warning came out, he was honorary in my house.😁
It only Rock and Roll but I like it🎶🎵💯
EVH & AVH absolutely locked in. 🔥
Looooving your Fair Warning reactions. I've binged them tonight and subscribed. Love your enthusiasm for the mighty VH. You grasp right away what truly set them apart from their "peers". Even nearly half a century later, they're still crazy fresh and ahead of their time. I've seldom actually encountered people who really get their genius the way you've captured it.
Great reaction! Reminds me of when I first played this album to a friend back in about 1981 or 1982. Dude couldn't believe it. So funky, so much swagger.
This album is a definite go to.
I've been bumpin "Mean Street" in my ride since the 80's. All time CLASSIC groove
Glad you jammed. Van Halen! I grew up on this.
that huge-ass smile you had was what van halen is all about \m/
Bro, you made my day! That's the reaction we all had back in the day.
Yeah I was a teenager in the early 80’s when I first heard it on the radio, then all the kids walking to school with their boomboxes. 40+years later, it’s still great. There will only be one Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen R.I.P.
Listened to this album for hours! Back in the day!!
That’s a great Van Halen song to start with.
Nice. My favourite song from my favourite VH album.
So good to see a brother enjoying some prime VH the way I do man.
This song is gritty, funky, and mean.
Tickle my ears.
The greatest hard rock band of them all. The greatest rock guitar player of them ALL!! Long live the king!! Eddie Van Halen!!
As much attention as Edward was given for his guitar work, he always always always turned the spotlight away, and praised his big brother, Alex, for his work behind the drum kit.
Reverend Al had his favorite drummers, and now he's one of your favorite drummer's favorite drummers.
He had a way of sounding like he was playing fast and loose, which he had to do in order to keep Ed's guitar tethered to the Earth or it might wander off into the cosmos and they'd never finish a song.
The brothers played with an uncanny connection, able to embellish each others' musical phrasings as though Al was playing the guitar part on the drums and Ed was playing drum parts on the guitar.
The more you listen, the more you'll hear and appreciate that aspect of the band.
Every member of the band was overloaded with talent, effectively making it a Supergroup.
Enjoying your reactions to Van Halen, the GOAT of Rock bands.
Great song
You put a smile on my face when you heard the main riff!!! You could tell you were into it!!😂😂😂
My favorite Van Halen song . Pratt st in Baltimore
Fair Warning came out in 1981 remastered 2015. Agree awesome outtro on Mean Street. 💀
I'm 55 but back in 1981 when this came out, our whole neighborhood went to the local department store and misappropriated an 8-Track of Fair Warning, the new album from our favorite band Van Halen. The 30 minute walk home along rail road tracks was awesome, as we took turns checking out the album cover. That 8 track blared on an old player we kept stacked with batteries all summer at the playground. Not one bad song and arguably the best guitar rock album ever. It made us tough in the Mean Streets of Carbondale Pennsylvania. Great times until Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth on vocals and their sound went top 40 rock
When I was in junior high school, I won a talent contest doing Eddie VH air guitar on a tennis racket...lol They were my favorite band by far, and I would draw their logo on everything.
It's been a while since I heard Mean Street, and it just gave me goosebumps hearing it here.
No question, Fair Warning is my favorite album and, in my opinion, their best work and sound. They made Rock and Roll fun. Never anything like VH before or since.
Rock On 😎
Reaction at its best! True appreciation brother!
Being a guitar player Eddie was a big influence. Alex ,the drummer I thought, never got the recognition he should. He complimented Eddie’s guitar style so much. I don’t think a lot of their songs would have been as good if it wasn’t for Alex.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amen !
