That is one, Diamond David Lee Roth...master of ceremonies, leader of the movement, our Fuhrer of dis tracks, rocker of Rock, our Supreme Leader, Diamond DAVE!
The heavier stuff is like, Romeo’s Delight, Mean Streets, Everybody Wants Some and Show Your Love from the Roth era. If you like heavier stuff, check Humans Being, Amsterdam, Seventh Seal, and Feelin’ from Hagar era, but they are more famous for the Hagar power ballads. Also some of the songs off their newest albums with Roth like Chinatown etc. Roth was the “fun” era, Hagar and Gary Cherone (from Extreme) were the more “serious” eras.
Bless you for taking the time to research the band BEFORE your reaction. You have my sub and I haven't even begun to watch yet. Keep up the vigilant effort! ❤️
Good and honest reaction. The problem that comes with choosing songs from a top five list is that inevitably you will get the songs that appeal to the most middle of the road audience. You are right, VH was making music in the late 70s. I remember when Jump came out, a lot of their fans had a cow because of the synth. It was not appreciated by some of the die hards. In fact a lot of them will still talk smack about Van Hagar days because they claim the sound got "soft" and "too much keyboards." Stick with the fans who will steer you past the top 5 lists and tell you about the hidden gems. This band is full of dirty, bangers galore. Yet they were pretty diverse and could change things up in a heartbeat. Jump didn't even have a true EVH solo. Pissed a lot of people off! 😂 But a VH marathon? I can't even tell you how here I am for this! Without a doubt one of my all time favorite bands. You want hard, react to DOA, Full Bug, Atomic Punk, Everybody Wants Some, Van Hagar days: Poundcake, Aftershock and I have a ton more but I'll leave at that for now. ☺
Thanks! I appreciate your comment. I think this is the first comment I've came across where someone has given another insight into how some of their fanbase felt about the synthesizers. So far, it seems like most people who have been commenting on my vids are very accepting of the sound. I was expecting most people to be like, "No! What are you doing?! You're reacting to the commercial stuff!" Haha I have to say that intially my most favorite song out of this marathon was "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love". Then as days went by I started singing the chorus to "Hot For Teacher". Now, "Jump" has grown on me a bit more also. This was a fun marathon. 🤘🏾
Video here cost 400 bucks to make. Poison was a semi-copycat party band from the East Coast. Both Eddie and big bro Alex on the drums used to play classical piano. Their dad was a professional jazz clarinet player. That '80 s synthesizer sound you referred to is now a standard preset voice on most beginner and intermediate keyboards. Eddie was very hesitant to show this song to the rest of the band because he was afraid nobody wanted to hear him playing keyboards instead of just sticking to guitar. turns out everyone wanted to hear him play keyboards because this song became their first number one hit.
Yup, you're right. First David Lee Roth, then Sammy Hagar, then for 1 album titled Van Halen 3 Gary Cherone. (Misspelled) lol My favorite era was with Sammy Hagar. Edit: I recommend some songs from their Balance album. Van Halen can change their tune. Very cool.
1st off, Van Halen was better than Poison. Poison try to copy Van Halen's style n it was not the same. 2nd, David Lee Roth was the original lead singer for Van Halen then came Sammy Hager. 3rd The song Jump was probably Van Halen's best hit in the 1980's. Me personally I like Panama.
Good explanation about my comparison to Poison. After doing some more reading about Van Halen and the Rock movement in the 80s I had read something about them inspiring those hair metal bands. Also, I'm still really digging Ain't Talkin' Bout Love (with Hot For Teacher coming in 2nd).

The most underrated yet hardest worker in any band is the drummer. Imagine working out with your arms for 2+ hours.

"Baby how you been?" = "So, uh...how you doing?"
Ren. Now check ('poundcake' - full length version' ) with Sammy...ohhh, your in for a treat.

I agree completely. And those were some great suggestions you posted.
@@babylonkid VH forever!!

@@markm4033 I was going to add that. A real banger! I love balance!

Edit: I recommend some songs from their Balance album.

Balance was an outstanding album. I'm a fan of all Van Halen, but Sammy Hagar is my favorite.
Dave making fun of the fact Eddie plays keyboards (by fake playing) and lead guitar at impossible simultaneous moments, is just classic Dave humor.
nice reaction!

@@renreactsmore6389 Thanks for ur response.
They soon broke up after this. Things would never be the same.
You talk way too much and totally miss the best parts of the video, which are the jumps. Won't be watching any more of your reactions.
Thanks for watching and giving my channel a shot! 🤘🏾
