The most exciting thing in the 80s was knowing there was a new van Halen record released. The 2nd most exciting thing was knowing the band would play in your city, in support of that record.
So True! Miss those days.
Something so simple!
Yep, it was like Christmas, your birthday, and the last day of school all rolled into one on the release date of the new albums! You could count on it pretty much every year from '78-'84. We'd put the release date on the calendar and run right out after school and grab the new album, then head right over to whomever had the best stereo and listen and lose our minds! Likewise when the tour promos started coming on the radio. You'd have to find somebody that was willing to camp out in line to get tickets back in those days and bribe them to get an extra for you, or you weren't getting into the show! They sold out fast back then.
That is one way to look at it. That and being with my friends. It is a miracle we are still alive.
@@danielabilez3619 dude I hear ya I was 13 years old my 1st van Halen concert. What was my mother thinking ! She actually said "you would have snuck out of the house anyway, so I just decided to let you go see them" SHE IS SPOT ON !
Man people, there are literally so many things about the 80s that I miss that It would take me hours to even list them all. But, the ones that stand out the most are first, Thank God I was born at a time that I was entering 7th grade when Van Halen's first album came out. That was my very first album I bought with my own money. It was a big deal back then to walk to Tower Records' and check out all the album covers and new bands. Tower Records' was blasting VH 1 that day and the second I heard it I was buying that thing!!! Ed's guitar work was literally mind blowing the first time I heard it!!! The very next day I bought my first Electric guitar, it was a cheap Strat Copy from China and was hard as hell to play but it looked cool as hell and only cost me 15 Buck's. That album changed me and my entire life big time!!! I'm still playing all these years later. There was only one thing bigger than a new VH record coming out, and that was making sure I was at every concert they ever played within 300 miles of my town where I grew up. Culver City CA. I was fortunate to see VH 12 times in my life. I've seen every line up that they ever had, and every single show was off the hook. Yes, there were a few shows where they were straight drunk off there ass and although those few shows weren't quite as sharp as the others they were still something to see!!! Eddie was one of the very few guitarists who could actually still play amazing drunk off his ass!!!! Back then every single dude that played guitar wanted to sound and play like Ed, and that's still true today. Back then it was so much harder to teach yourself to play because there was no internet or cell phones or any other modern devices that exist today where you could learn how Ed was able to play all of these crazy riffs and solo's we were hearing. Ed's guitar work was completely Magical, and almost impossible to picture or imagine how he was doing any of that stuff back then. I was obsessed with trying to learn how he was pulling this stuff off. Every show I ever went too was always a huge party, and the most important place you could ever hope to be at during those day's. I remember I was so focused about not getting to stoned, or to drunk to remember everything I was seeing. Those shows we're so huge for me because I was trying to see and remember everything Ed was doing. I managed to pick up so many kick ass techniques and tricks by watching Ed play but those didn't come easy. It took me almost 2 years and 4 concerts to actually figure out so many of them. Ed was doing so many different things that nobody had ever heard or played before so it was very difficult. I remember being completely overwhelmed with how he played every single song !!! Every single song had so many different elements and techniques going on all at the same time and he was doing so much shit while running and jumping and spinning around that it was absolutely mind blowing. It was so difficult to clearly see how or what he was really doing while he performaned. I remember being so blown away after watching Ed play because seeing it live was crazy because if you played guitar then, then you realized that he was actually doing mind bending stuff threw out every single song. It never stopped or started !! It was literally technique, after technique continuely throughout every single song. Every other bands guitarists would do stuff that I was able to see and digest and recreate later without to much trouble. After all of those shows I was able to still see and remember everything I wanted to take from them without making myself completely crazy !!! But, after watching Ed I was only able to really get small pieces of the puzzle while trying to sift thru all of the pictures in my mind. There were just so many goddamned things he was doing so fast and so effortlessly that you just couldn't even hope to remember everything you were seeing. Slowly but surely I began to piece many of them together so that I could actually play them and use them in a song !!! The biggest piece of pie for me was when they released the 5150 home video concert footage from there first record with Sammy. That entire concert was absolutely Epic !!! That was by far the best live show I had ever seen out of all 12 VH concert's I'd ever been too. I literally wore that VHS tape out, and had to buy a second one from me starting and stopping that tape over and over and over again. That concert footage really helped me and was a game changer for me because that period was when I was really finally able to learn and master so many of the techniques that I was struggling to put together. Those were by far the best day's of my entire teenage life and will always be some of the most defining moments of my entire life. Anybody who wasn't alive or the right age to enjoy everything that made the 80s and 90s so remarkably special will never really understand what they missed!!! Any humane being who doesn't think that Eddie Van Halen was the greatest Rock Guitarist to ever live is 100% wrong !!! Eddie was hands down The Greatest Rock Guitarist to ever live. That topic isn't even debatable people!!! It just Is!!! And, it's not even close people!!! RIP Eddie, We all love you and miss you every single day for the rest of our lives!!!!!❤😢
The early Van Halen breathed FIRE. The later Van Halen made cotton candy. :(
DLR IS Van Halen. No one else should've ever fronted the band: And I liked Sammy's own stuff - with his band. It's just not VH without DLR: He was so much more in every way -
@@markkukowski3710 I Agree, but could you imagine, being around dave all the time? I love the guy, but he stresses me out listining to an interview with him. He is a whole diffrent type of person. He moved to Japan for several years to learn the art of Sword making. Lol, gotta love the Nut. Sad thing is, if they kept making ROCK Albums, without half of the songs softened up for the ladies, they wouldnt be stinking rich. It's not selling out. It's growing up, and doing what's best, even if you are opposed to it. I'm 54 and I still want to ride dirtbikes and do coke of of strippers asses everyday, but the damn job is in my way.
I remember when the first album came out: We were all like "What the hell?" Never heard anything like it. Blew our minds! Grew up anticipating all the new VH albums. David Lee stuff is the real VH. Changed to more basic song structure and top 10 with Sammy. Just listen to "Can't get this stuff no more" or "Me wise magic" - Sammy could never write stuff like that in my humble opinion. More creative and crazy with DLR. Miss you Eddie! God be good to you -
DLR years are my favorite also!
Well said sir. Spot on.
The greatest band in history in my book.
definitely the best American rock band IMO 🇺🇸 🎸 🥁 🔥 🤘🏼
Brought back a lot of memories ..... Love the 80's with Van Halen in it
Never get over listening to the mighty V.H. and these live videos are proof this was the baddest band around ,..glad I was able to witness the mighty V.H. back in the day ,
Dave's spoken introduction to "So This is Love ? " is so badass sounding. The guy had soul and swagger.
Couldn't sing good live too save his life. Lmfao
@@mvela1235 from 78-82 Dave was great on stage and his singing was great until he suddenly wanted to be a vaudeville act the whole band sounded sloppy in 83 and the 84 your, all that excess had caught up to the mighty ones
@@robertragolia744 that's a lie both Eddie and Mike pretty much always sounded great but Dave on the other hand. That's why I like the Sammy years so much more, everything was better music and vocals
@@robertragolia744 76-84 was great the after 88 Voice was gone
@@mvela1235 Sammy Hagar years were VH lite. You really think 5150 or OU812 is better than Fair Warning or Women and children First? I understand if you don’t like Dave’s voice but even Ed’s guitar playing was so much more dark and powerful than anything he did after 1984. I’ll never understand people who say that the Sammy Hagar years were better. I think that they’re the kind of people who just got excited that they were hearing songs like “dreams”, “ love comes walking in” and “why can’t this be love” on the radio 24/7. Even “ jump” as much as I hate that song was better than all of those wimpy Sammy era tunes.
80s best band in my opinion. As a teen I got every new vh album as soon as it came out. Now wolf is carrying the torch and rocking it. The kid is a major talent. Wvh blew me away when I heard it,he played all the instruments and vocals. Just wow!!!
The songs make me so happy yet I'm tearing up, missing a legend that altered the course of my playing forever. RIP Eddie, you are missed!
Dear Lord. The richness of EVH's tone is STILL amazing.
It's like the deepest, sweetest chocolate.
Yeah back when he played Marshalls instead of chainsaws.
@@johnmarshall3903 Or drills.
THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN!! NEVER TO BE OUTMATCHED!! THANKS ED!! PEACE
Those were the days vh tix face value of $12.50 and scalping for only 20.00!!! I remember getting up early to go stand in line at ticket tron and get tickets for concerts I miss the 80s
General admission too🤗
I have a ticket stub for a VH concert from 1978 that says 8 50. Now that's a deal people. That's literally crazy people. It cost me a whole 8 dollars and 50 cents to be squished into the front of that stage with at least 4 or more super hot girls leaning on me for the entire 2 and a half hour show. Man, that show was so damn loud that I had expensive ear plugs in and it still was incredibly loud. Yah, I can't even begin to describe how incredible Ed's guitar sounded. It's almost impossible to beilve that Ed was creating every sound for every song completely on his own, by himself. You would swear there had to be more people playing some of the parts you were hearing. Everything that you here is Ed with one guitar, Mike, with one bass and Alex playing 1 drum kit. Absolutely mind boggling. It's a shame that most people really don't even have a clue how hard it is for the entire band and all of there songs and music were being created by 1 man playing 1 guitar. Straight friggin 😧
Those were the good old days. Glad I grew up in those days.
@@kmac4458 yes awesome
@@kmac4458 got general admission for guns n roses and Aerosmith in 89
Man the 80's was some of my best memories, I was in my 20's and it was great.
Eddie's elephant RAWWWKS! 🤘🏻🎸 🐘🤘🏻
The 80s -90s Where have all the good times gone? Everything after 2000 sux... 📼
We need the 80s more now than ever ✌️
"You gotta stick together..Dave,your fired!"..
Mike always sounds great
Amazing 🤩!!!!
I remember a few things in my life
The first time I heard Van Halen 1984, and the first time I heard best of both worlds with Sammy
I felt that was the peak Van Halen
1981. I was 14 years old and in the 9th grade. Van Halen was my first concert ever. It was the "Fair Warning" tour. Tickets were a whopping $7.50 (yeah that's right... seven dollars and fifty cents) !!!LOL!!!
Wow what a great deal ✌️
Man, that Oakland show is a classic. It really needs to be cleaned up and released. Fans would go nuts.
Yeah its probably one of my favorites would be really cool cleaned up ✌️
What date June 11th or 12th 1981
@@mikeskillings4437 either one really
what a naturally gifted guitar wizard ... unbelievable
I love 💕 80's 🤘😝🍻
I do remember the MTV footage - remember watching Eddie making his guitar sound like a horse!
Man, that drum break at 3:16. Alex still has the best sounding snare ever.
Something about the intro to “Hear about it later” whoa those summers of early 80’s. I was young then, old now. However, I’m glad I came up then. I don’t envy the young kids of this era at all. Something doesn’t feel right about what’s going on now.
One of my favorite intro is hear about it later ✌️
the 80s we're fun. Today it's all about Hate.
You know it brother. Can't believe the stuff they call music today. Besides, how many rap artists last more than a few weeks? We are still listening to Led Zeppelin, the Stones and AC/DC and VH. Am I right? Like 50 + years later! Real music - Real talent and actual instruments being played -
I got to see them 5 times in the 80s, the last time I saw them was 2007. R.I.P. EVH.
wow,,, The way things are now in the world, I realize that I really needed to watch this, it was very therapeutic to my general views of life today. Thank you.
Thanks for watching please subscribe ✌️
They were a fun band!
I agree ✌️
Greatest the USA every produced REST IN POWER EDWARD VAN HALEN

Well done!
Awesome! What a time in American culture. Hardly the case now, unfortunately. =\//-/= 4-Evuh!
We need it now more than ever ✌️
Love and miss ya, Eddie, but I gotta wonder who green lit some of those outfits back in the day.
Yayy, 80s lol
Ed could make anything look cool 😎
Awesome intro too!
Thanks ✌️
Wow, that first song w/ dlr the band totally kicked ass, cool cause the song was not an obvious choice.
I always love the middle part in “ hear about it later” with the break and Al starting off with that steady beat and showcasing that amazing sounding snare. Then Ed jumps in with his usual magic.
Wolf haven't forgot you.
great video mr. Kernan
Thanks ✌️
My neighbors don’t know it, but they’re fans too!!!
Good stuff!!!
$8.50 at Cobo Arena in Detroit 1978 1st time seeing and meeting eddie and the band I would go on to see 56 VH concerts I even worked for the band
That's very cool I'm from just outside of Detroit downriver area I could only dream of working for them that would be epic 😎
I saw them at Cobo in September of 78. Opened for Black Sabbath. Then twice in 79 at Masonic, and then every show for every tour up to 1984. I couldn't get tickets. Saw them once with Sammy.
Ahhhhh 😁
They all got Al's drums.i had a little buzz box (small car).the stereo had VH 1984 on cd.Set O lights start hot 🔥 for teacher on cd stereo cranked.muppet next to me for half second thought it was my car's engine.no sir it's the best drum intro EVER.btw the stereo was good also.
This. Is. Rock.
I remember this video of Hear About Later and a few other live ones on MTV back in the day of equally good quality. What concert is that from? If I remember, Unchained was another clip from this show.
Edward Lodewijik Van Halen
Alexander Arthur Van Halen
Michael Anthony Sobolewski
David 💎 Lee Roth
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tom Cruise in the audience 2:40
6:58 lol. funny how Alex told camera man to come here, cool they played Robert Palmer oh snap that looks like the live without a net show they probably edit it out
A Different Kind of Truth is a great album too
Love beats workin on that album great music period new video drops tonight at 6 check it out ✌️
My favs are Sammy and Dave's
Why does that dude look like Alex? Lol
that screem at 4'40 th-cam.com/video/62XoMx1WiR8/w-d-xo.html
is just crazy, Dave was able to split his voice in 2 and put distorsion in it.. that fit perfectly with the Eddy brown sound.
I seen them in 1982 in Toronto i was 13 the same age as those kids who bought the tickets for $20
That must have been awesome ✌️
@@MR.KERNAN it was, back then concerts were in were in there golden age. i also seen Black Sabbath and Kiss with Vinnie Vincent around the same time.
Oh Dave.....never could sing. This was the peak of V.H. the Dave version. Diver Down was their low point.
God Bless and RIP Edward, he was the Mozart of all Guitarists and Rock and Roll. We will never ever forget you. Also, God Bless Wolfie for carrying on the Van Halen legacy. 😻
I saw metallica when they played like men
Open for wasp in phx $16
VH without DLR is not VH.
Odd man out. m Anthony
What was the name of the movie at the beginning?
fast times at ridgemont high
What's the first song?
Hear about it later ✌️
@@MR.KERNAN thx
it kinda makes me laugh when I read about how people like one eara over another Van Halen eara. it's all Van Halen. Edward was ask once if he would do a solo keyboard album. he said he writes 90% of Van Halen music now . why do I need a solo album. my point is that if DLR and Edward were to kiss and make up . DLR was getting all the music and riffs that Sam and Gary got . so if DLR was singing on 5150 . the ? is would it be better . because he (DLR) was getting all those riffs that Edward had on 5150. or we were getting the dkot album after 1984. and I think that ship would have ran out after that. one. cuz we would gotten more than a live album in Japan in 2012 . so at the end of the day for me. it's all Van Halen. to me Edward wrote all good stuff no matter who was singing with him. he was a great musician from the first song to his last. with any of the 3.
I agree I like all era's of Van Halen equally there all very special ✌️
That couldn't be said any better!!! That is 100% the correct answer and that should be how every single VH fan should feel about VH entire catalog. We all love Dave !!! Yes, we do. But, with that said. We should all love Sammy and Gary too !!! In the end, All of it, and I mean, all of it is Eddie's music, period. All of it!!!! Discounting any of It. Down playing any era,album, or song is completely retarted and takes you off the list as a real VH fan. Your gone!! Your off!! You and your opinions are irrelevant!!!! All of it !!! It's all really 100% Eddie and Eddie's music. Without Ed, there is no music and there is no VH morons!!! Hating on any of there singers. Hating on any of there songs or albums really is only hating on Eddie. That's really what that is!!! Your literally only hating Ed when you take that position. Do you people really think that if you hate the Sammy or Gary era music because Dave decided to go solo makes you a true VH fan? Your clearly delusional!!! Eddie would spit on you, and laugh in your face people!!! Eddie would never accept you as a VH fan unless you love and respect his entire catalog!!! Anybody out there who doesn't agree or understand this obvious truth !!!! Is a complete friggin Moron !!!!!😮
I grew up with DLR Van Halen and I can't see anyone else doing what he did with them. The music was so much more creative and crazy and fun with DLR - no matter who wrote it. Just look at the "top 10" stuff Sammy did with them and then DLR came back briefly with "Me wise magic" and "Can't get this stuff no more" - I like and respect Sammy but he could never do stuff like that. My humble opinion -
@@markkukowski3710 I pretty much agree with all that sir. But, I'm pretty damn sure that Sammy would never ever want to sound like or sing like Mr. Roth. Sammy is probably extremely Greatfull that He sounds completly different than Mr. Roth singing anything
That first song was to good David never sounds that good live. Lmfao
C'mon bro this should all be Dave's Van Halen the only vh that matters not that Sammy crap he turned them into air supply lol
I've learned to appreciate all Van Halen era's
@@MR.KERNAN I'm getting there, but I still don't like early Van Hagar. I wasn't big on solo DLR either. They needed each other.
@@greatnorthern706 they had some good ones you can't deny it lol
@@MR.KERNAN Yeah. The band (The brothers and Michael Anthony) was great period. I just preferred the Dave era. I wasn’t a big Hagar fan to begin with. Have you read Templeman’s book?
@@greatnorthern706 No but Ted would definitely have some cool stories for sure I'll have to check it out
Image ratio fail
It's the only option we had to get the best possible image on all platforms ✌️
How quickly music degraded to microwaved canned crap.
Sammy should have stayed solo.
Yeah who needs x4 No.1 albums in row eh.
This was cool until Hagar appeared
And Gary Cherone.God bless I'd prefer to marvel at Whole Hearted.and he .an woman hater and get the funk out
I preferred Black diamond then after hearing both bands play in odd places.. Van Halen just got fortunate..
Not everyone can have great taste.
No. It’s what happens when you have the best guitar player in history.
Fortunate….. seriously?
WTF is this dude even trying to say here. Damn, there our some very unfortunate people in the world that not only think about dumb shit all the time, but, some of them even write there dumb shit ideas for everybody to laugh at. I'm naming this dude Mr. irrelevant
As soon as Sammy era started I got bored and took my up vote away..
I've learned too appreciate all era's of Van Halen give it a try✌️
@@MR.KERNAN I’m 51 lived both eras Sammy solo and with Montrose I liked but only a few with Van Halen….5150 was a decent effort…
hagar is cringe
