@@huchlvr SRV was a phenomenal player for sure however, Eddies impact and influence on other musician other than guitarists and a whole genre is the far greater legacy that will never be matched in our or any other lifetime...
@@CelticSpiritsCoven Mustaine wishes he had the impact on music EVH did, but he doesn't and won't. Very few will. He is a great player, but he didn't change the game.
@@pastorofmuppets13 Dave Mustaine not only understood death, but the subsequent upgrades he invented: deth and megadeth. He is the only constant member of Megadeth because prolonged exposure to his awesomeness produces near-fatal side effects in other, lesser beings. lol. Joking aside... At any rate, it is true that other bands have more relevance today. Yes he was a "good player". But just because he isn't on your favorite lists doesn't mean he lacked talent. Plenty of people see him as an idol. You don't. You like chocolate, some people like strawberry.
Eruption live without a net. Greatest of all time.. Not about tricks like playing behind his back, but about tone. The sounds a man can make with a guitar.
Sammy Hagar joined the band later, after the band achieved success. He made a couple of good songs with them, but David Lee Roth IS the singer most people think of when they think of Van Halen.
Have to look at them as two different bands. Don’t get me wrong, I loved both versions of Van Halen... two different bands to me. Fun fact, not one of the 6 David Lee Roth albums hit #1, but all 4 of the Sammy Hagar albums did. Just sayin’. Sammy did more than just a few great songs with Van Halen
@@Seanriver316 I wonder if having two sets of fan bases merging had anything to do with it. Sammy already had his own fan base and was already an established star.
Sammy Hagar did not sing on this ...this is David Lee Roth the original singer...Hagar took over for Roth after this MONSTER album Jump is on. There are 2 eras of VH...Roth from 78 -84...Hagar from 86-95 ...Personally I love the Roth era...the guitar player Eddie Van Halen became a GUITAR GOD! He passed away last fall.
@@RobSquadReactions Yes a David Lee Roth was much more a stage performer doing splits (at the beginning), jumps (3:01) and toe touches (at 4:19) He definitely had stage presence and was made to be on stage. You can see that about him in this video.
No problem bro! To see how amazing Eddie is on guitar react to his live solo Eruption...this is from Hagar's first tour with VH m.th-cam.com/video/L9r-NxuYszg/w-d-xo.html
This is before Sammy Hagar. This is the original lead singer, David Lee Roth. He is a big time martial artist as well. That's why he does the splits & can make those jumps. I've seen them over 100 times
Some feel David Lee Roth was the better frontman for the band, and I prefer the music they made with David at the mic. Check out Hot For Teacher, Running With The Devil, and Panama
Saw them in the 2010’s w David soooo good I was a kid but I totally understand now sooo good it was magic!!! Pure magic after all the years all the drugs pure magic how can a band after 30 years sound better than studio???
Damn i forgot how young Eddie was in this video...please react to his epic guitar solo "Eruption" 13min of pure mastery on the guitar....R.I.P Eddie!!!
If you want to see more of the frontman here, David Lee Roth, try some of his solo stuff too - "Just Like Paradise", "Just A Gigolo" or "California Girls"
David Lee Roth was the original front man for Van Halen. When the band split there was a time where a lot of people who did and didn't like Sammy joining them were calling the band Van Hagar. Dave also released a solo album at the time with a young Steve Vai on guitar. It was an interesting moment in rock and roll history because the band was already as established as it was when there was a very dramatic split between Dave and the rest of the band.
I remember when I first heard the first single, Yankee Rose, from that David Lee Roth album hearing Steve Vai making the guitar talk... "Hey Dave" "How are you doing" etc. Even making the guitar laugh. Blew my mind at the time.
David Lee Roth, in MY Opinion , was a good singer with a huge EGO ! He was big into karate and always did crazy moves on stag . I saw him once live. I'm more of a Sammy Hagar fan.
David Lee Roth is more a solo artist than a group artist. He’s a great performer and all but seems like he wants to be the center of all the attention.
The front man and Lead singer is David Lee Roth who sang Jump, and The Singer who sung I can't drive 55 is Sammy Hagar. Both sang with Van Halen, David Lee Roth first, then Sammy Hagar The song Jump came out in 1984
Van Halen is iconic. David Lee Roth was the original front man (my first crush - also, my first non supervised concert in '84) Then there was Van Hagar...lol. I guess they would have been considered a 'hair band' in some circles but I think of Poison or Ratt as 'hair bands'. Eddie Van Halen was truly a genius - one of the best guitarists ever ! RIP Eddie !
Great that you were about to pause and stopped yourself.Never pause hard rock my friend, Yes, great eighties band here with an amazing lead guitarist and am sure you'll learn more as you watch him.
Awesome.....this is the original Van Halen before Hagar. Both are good but I like them much better with David Lee Roth ...the original singer!..Nothing replaces the members that were together when the bands identity formed
Original singer *David Lee Roth* on vocals here😁!! A lot of people say one version is better than the other ( I personally like them the same a great band is a great band). So this was *David Lee Roth's* last album with the the *Van Halen* brothers *Eddie Van Halen* ( RIP) on guitar and older brother *Alex Van Halen* on drums. They had some good tunes *Panama, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, Mean Street and Ice Cream Man.* But don't count *Sammy Hagar* pronounced Hey-gar out cause their tunes rock too!! With gems like *Dreams, Why Can't This Be Love, Can't Stop Loving You, Not Enough, Finish What You Started* and *Right Now.* You'll be jamming to this version of *Van Halen* too. Love Peace and Happiness Y'all !!
One of the few 80s videos I can recall. Maybe it was the dynamic of David Lee Roth's posing/clowning/headlining mixed w/ Eddie's good humored mugging while providing virtuoso guitar licks... & how they all gelled as a band. But truth is JUMP has a helluva hook!
I was a working bass player when this song was on the charts, and obviously we played Jump. It was the purest, most fun song to play bass to, especially with the time changes in the lead.
And I did see them in concert in 1984 and this song was part of their 84 tour of course and did the same acrobatics on stage so I mean one of the best concert I saw. God memories fantastic memories
Van Halen formed in 1974. They are originally from Amsterdam Netherlands. They moved to Pasadena, CA when Alex and Eddie were quite young. Originally Eddie was learning to play the drums. Then his brother Alex started playing Eddie's drums and Eddie said, Alex you're better at the drums than me so I'll learn guitar. Their first album came out in 1978. This song "Jump" came out in 1984 from the album called "1984"
Only Alex and Eddie van Halen were from The Netherlands. David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony were American. Alex and Eddie studied classical piano at a young age before getting into rock. The band recorded their first demo at Gene Simmons (from Kiss).
@@gregharker1600 I agree completely. Sammy Hagar as a solo artist was better than Van Halen with Sammy. Van Halen with David Lee Roth was better than Van Halen with Sammy. David Lee Roth with Van Halen was better than David solo.
Lead guitar player Eddie Van Halen was a musical protege` . He was a competitive classical pianist in his child hood. I once heard him say in an interview that he really wanted to play the drums so bad that he took on a newspaper route and saved his money to buy a set of drums. He continued his paper route so he had money , and while doing so his brother Alex got so good on the drums , that he gave them to Alex, bought a guitar , and created his own playing style ( tap harmonics ) . This singer ( David Lee Roth was their original vocalist. The album that this song ( Jump ) was on was the last album before their falling out . The next few were lead by Sammy Hagar , Also , Bassist Michael Anthony is incredible .
This is a great video. In the early 1980s a lot of videos were overproduced. In 1984 this came out with the band simply performing on a stage set, having fun.
Diamond Dave Roth is the singer and he left the group in 1986 they started in the 70,s. This song is from 1984: Eddie Van Halen lead guitarist; drummer is Alex Van Halen, I think he is one of the beat drummers ever. Eddie is an G.O.A.T guitar player. He has a video out called ERUPTION it’s 13 minutes of him on his guitar. Highly recommend. Also watch Panama 1984.
As has been said, this is David Lee Roth the original frontman for Van Halen,after about a little over 10 years of success a rift developed between David and Eddie and Alex Van Halen. Not really sure of the circumstances but IMO David started believing the hype and got too big for his britches thinking VH couldn’t get along without him and the band disagreed and they split apart. VH took on Sammy Hagar(Hay-gar) and kept right on rocking, the flavor of the music changed but was still good, David had a short lived semi successful solo career and basically dropped from the music landscape, eventually Sammy and VH had their own musical differences and Sammy left and David rejoined the band. Eddie Van Halen can be touted as the G.O.A.T but again the title is subjective, “ to each his own” so there will never be a complete consensus as to who the GOAT is but Eddie ranks right up there with Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Prince, hell the list goes on and on with too many great guitarists to name them all and why worry? Just be thankful we’ve had all those greats to listen to through the decades! 🤘👍😎✌️
One of the very best rock songs of the '80s by one of the very best rock bands of the '80s. "Can't Drive 55" was made after David Lee Roth, the lead singer of Van Halen on "Jump," left the band and was replaced by Sammy Hagar. As far as I'm concerned, Van Halen became just another loud rock band once Sammy Hagar joined them. Most of their best songs were all done before David Lee Roth left the band. Eddie Van Halen, the dark-haired dude in the yellow top who played the guitar solo in this song, is considered one of the great rock guitarists of all time. Sadly, he died recently.
David Lee Roth was the original front man (The guy in this video) and then he and the Van Halen Bros. (Eddie and Alex) had some differences after almost 10 years. Roth was fired, and Sammy Hagar, who had been with a Band called "Montrose", was asked by Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth. So Sammy of course, brought some of his music catalogue with him, when he joined Van Halen. In this video, it's the original guy. (David Lee Roth.)
One of my favorite songs by Van Halen is Ain't Talkin Bout Love from their first album 1978. It's a great rocking song and I do my elliptical to it and for sure makes me move fast to the beat. Makes for a good elliptical work out.
Lot of opinions on who the better singer was , David or Sammy, personally I’m a fan of David Lee Roth during them years, Panama, and Hot for teacher are kick ass songs.
I am 51 yrs. Old, I remember when this was released (album&video) seeing it on Mtv for the first time at my friends house, and we were both, silent....loved it!! And still do!!! RIP EVH!!!!!! U were and are and always will be the measuring stick
That's a big reason he was so entertaining, his flamboyant "look at me persona." Maybe it wasn't as entertaining if you were to be around him most days in his real life but he was fun to watch and an original.
Hi jay , Van Halen was a staple throughout HS , they were one of those bands that 90% of everyone could listen to , go up to the park at lunchtime with our boom box and chill . That’s David Lee Roth the vocalist before Sammy Hagar
Great reaction. Van Halen is up there with my all time favorite bands so I really feel like I dropped the ball on you for this one. I was one of the ones spouting off about listening to VH before Sammy but it didn't even occur to me that you didn't know about them having another vocalist. My bad, let me make it up to you with some VH essentials.. 1. Eddie the guitarist and Alex the drummer are brothers. The band is named after them. 2. David Lee Roth is the original vocalist. He was trained in martial arts and used a lot of that in his performances. 3. VH were massive through the 70s and 80s and pretty much changed the face of rock with Eddie's innovative guitar playing. He is easily on the list of top 3-5 at most guitarists of all time, and has been voted #1on a list of top 100. 3. You don't really get to appreciate his abilities in this song because it more synth oriented, being released in the 80s.(Eddie is a classically trained pianist and self-taught guitarist, which is pretty mind boggling when you see what he can do) It is probably their most mainstream song of the Roth era and it has been in movies, commercials, games..I'd be surprised if you never heard it. 4. DLR is known for his dramatic flair and being one of the best front men in rock. Sammy is no slacker in that dept. Also very high energy and the better vocalist IMO, but...Dave is Dave. He brought a certain something to VH for sure. Sammy joined in 86, this song is from 84. 5. Watching Eruption solo, live without a net performance is absolutely mandatory for you to understand why EVH is considered a rock/guitar God! I see a few people have dropped links already. 6. Great VH video choices- Hot For Teacher, Panama, Running with the Devil with DLR. With Sammy on vocals (also known as Van Hagar) Poundcake, Dreams, Right Now, Finish What You Started. There are so many songs of theirs that are before the video era so there is a ton of audio I recommend. Mean Streets, Intruder/Little Guitars, Ice Cream Man, Ain't Talking Bout Love are a few. 7. Sammy's name is pronounced with a long A. 😊 PS, I've been singing Radar Love for 40 some years. Get used to it. 😂
Eddie Van Halen was a genius on the guitar. It came so naturally to him and he made it look so effortless but he also played other instruments very well and he passed his amazing talents on to his son Wolfgang who also played in the band when he turned 15 years old.
Hahhahahahahah!!!! It's funny that you say that about the 'hair'... The 80's was known as the 'Big Hair Band' era... I was a teen going into adulthood during the greatest decade for music, movies, and probably America overall.... Growing up 80's was awesome!
I remember like it was yesterday when this song came out in 1984. I went and bought the CD. I am blessed to have lived through part of the late 70s, 80s, and 90s music.
what?it seems no one here knew the band ,by this logic the first and still sold 1st Lp of van halen didn´t was known till the 2000´s but i remenber in the all world being a big success ,even here in juda´s ass we knew van halen when he released the first Lp or there wouldn´t be a second or a sixth like another world success 1984, jump wasn´t also heard in every disco i went all over europe or the U.S.what about that terrible hit single "dance the night away" ,it seemed they made a bet, "lets release the worse album we can and see if it´s still a success"the van halen II after releasing one of the best rock album ever
Yes Jay, they are considered a 80’s hair band. This band had many great hits over the years. Running with the Devil, Dreams, Right Now, Panama, Hot For Teacher. I can go on and on. Please listen to more of Van Halen you will not be let down at all.
This is David Lee Roth. He made Van Halen just like David Ruffin made The Temptations. When he left, Van Halen was never the same. I hope that you will love this song as I do. Fell in love with this song from the first time I heard it back in 1984. Still love it today.
As a young man just moving away to the big city to go to school after high school, I was so fortunate to afford to see Van Halen in concert on their 1984 tour! We had so-so tickets, very top row, looking straight across the front of the stage from the side. All of my friends left me to go down to the mail floor but, I had the BEST time ever! Van Halen in their prime, c'mon, doesn't get much better!!!
If getting your mind blown is something you enjoy...Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption from the 1986 Live Without a Net video, is the ultimate. You will never look at the guitar the same way again.
That "hook" bit was used by WGN when the Chicago Cubs games were starting up on the TV & used it for a few years. This song reminds me so much of when our first child was born in 1984 & this song was everywhere. I was on maternity leave & there was a TV station in Chicago that ran music videos pretty much 24/7 & I saw this video over & over. The song certainly brings back many happy memories to me.
70's band that grew into the 80's vibe. I saw them the first time they played a college stadium and they weren't even the headliner. Boston was the main attraction, and Van Halen blew the crowd totally away. By the time they left the stage, when Boston began playing, everyone just left. WQDR was the Raleigh station there and it was the most amazing live show of the 70's.
This song takes me back to my childhood watching my dad rock out to Eddie's,( rip,) guitar playing & Alex's drumming ( by the way both of them were so freaking talented.)
Lol...wrong singer...David Lee Roth is a great front man and hard to replace. But Sammy did a great job. Eddie rewrote the book. R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen...G.O.AT.🤟
They won a video award for this video. When asked Van Halen said, they did it on a empty stage with a 12 pack of beer. Yes, it's a great video because their joy in it is visible.
David Lee Roth was the original lead singer of the band, but the band was always about lead guitarist Eddie Van Halen one of the greatest to ever do it, and his brother who was on drums. Sammy Hagar took over after I believe their fourth album, and then toward the end of their career David Lee Roth returns to the band. Tragically within the past year Eddie Van Halen died, but his guitar work is Iconic.
Seriously? Eddie Van Halen, one of the best guitarists EVER!
EVER
"ONE" of the??? He IS the best guitarists EVER!!!

You've got that straight! If someone doesn't believe that, they need to listen to, "Eruption"!

Diamond Dave Roth is the singer and he left the group in 1986 they started in the 70,s. This song is from 1984: Eddie Van Halen lead guitarist; drummer is Alex Van Halen, I think he is one of the beat drummers ever. Eddie is an G.O.A.T guitar player. He has a video out called ERUPTION it’s 13 minutes of him on his guitar. Highly recommend. Also watch Panama 1984.
As has been said, this is David Lee Roth the original frontman for Van Halen,after about a little over 10 years of success a rift developed between David and Eddie and Alex Van Halen. Not really sure of the circumstances but IMO David started believing the hype and got too big for his britches thinking VH couldn’t get along without him and the band disagreed and they split apart. VH took on Sammy Hagar(Hay-gar) and kept right on rocking, the flavor of the music changed but was still good, David had a short lived semi successful solo career and basically dropped from the music landscape, eventually Sammy and VH had their own musical differences and Sammy left and David rejoined the band. Eddie Van Halen can be touted as the G.O.A.T but again the title is subjective, “ to each his own” so there will never be a complete consensus as to who the GOAT is but Eddie ranks right up there with Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Prince, hell the list goes on and on with too many great guitarists to name them all and why worry? Just be thankful we’ve had all those greats to listen to through the decades! 🤘👍😎✌️
I love your big smile - that's how this music made us all feel back in the day - not a care in the world, fun stuff.
One of the very best rock songs of the '80s by one of the very best rock bands of the '80s. "Can't Drive 55" was made after David Lee Roth, the lead singer of Van Halen on "Jump," left the band and was replaced by Sammy Hagar. As far as I'm concerned, Van Halen became just another loud rock band once Sammy Hagar joined them. Most of their best songs were all done before David Lee Roth left the band. Eddie Van Halen, the dark-haired dude in the yellow top who played the guitar solo in this song, is considered one of the great rock guitarists of all time. Sadly, he died recently.
David Lee Roth was the original front man (The guy in this video) and then he and the Van Halen Bros. (Eddie and Alex) had some differences after almost 10 years. Roth was fired, and Sammy Hagar, who had been with a Band called "Montrose", was asked by Van Halen to replace David Lee Roth. So Sammy of course, brought some of his music catalogue with him, when he joined Van Halen. In this video, it's the original guy. (David Lee Roth.)
You should check out Hot For Teacher. Off of the same album as Jump. I think you'd love it.
One of my favorite songs by Van Halen is Ain't Talkin Bout Love from their first album 1978. It's a great rocking song and I do my elliptical to it and for sure makes me move fast to the beat. Makes for a good elliptical work out.
The lead singer, David Lee Roth, is a Martial Arts expert which is why he can do those splits and kicks
Watch Eddie Van Halen guitar solo eruption you’ll be in awe
oh yeah! DAVID LEE ROTH....the bands original Vocalist.....his voice is what put Van Halen in the charts
Good video, Good song, Good band!!.....It doesn't get better than that!! Nice job Jay!! Radar Love is still my favorite song!! ROCK ON!!
that smile, that damn smile...Thank you Eddie for all you gave us.
Immediately takes me back to my teen years! It gets used a lot at sporting events. Back in the day WGN used it with Chicago Cubs games.
David Lee Roth is the ultimate showman. Great singer and the energy he brings to every song is AMAZING.
This is such a fun song! Great workout song. Love Van Halen and am so happy you're reacting to them, Panama is my other favorite by them.
Yes. React to panama
It was such a good song I cant wait to discover more from them
Panama is my favourite
This opened the door for a bigger crowd. For us real rockers it was the beginning of the end for Van Halen.
This is Diamond Dave the original, Sammy came later, he was known as the Red Rocker.
Yes 80's ... Love this song!!! I'm an 80's fan and I am 69 Yrs old...Love your channel!!! Takes me back to wonderful times!!!
Lot of opinions on who the better singer was , David or Sammy, personally I’m a fan of David Lee Roth during them years, Panama, and Hot for teacher are kick ass songs.
I am 51 yrs. Old, I remember when this was released (album&video) seeing it on Mtv for the first time at my friends house, and we were both, silent....loved it!! And still do!!! RIP EVH!!!!!! U were and are and always will be the measuring stick
DLR really loves himself!!
That's a big reason he was so entertaining, his flamboyant "look at me persona." Maybe it wasn't as entertaining if you were to be around him most days in his real life but he was fun to watch and an original.
Hi jay , Van Halen was a staple throughout HS , they were one of those bands that 90% of everyone could listen to , go up to the park at lunchtime with our boom box and chill . That’s David Lee Roth the vocalist before Sammy Hagar
Great reaction. Van Halen is up there with my all time favorite bands so I really feel like I dropped the ball on you for this one. I was one of the ones spouting off about listening to VH before Sammy but it didn't even occur to me that you didn't know about them having another vocalist. My bad, let me make it up to you with some VH essentials..
1. Eddie the guitarist and Alex the drummer are brothers. The band is named after them.
2. David Lee Roth is the original vocalist. He was trained in martial arts and used a lot of that in his performances.
3. VH were massive through the 70s and 80s and pretty much changed the face of rock with Eddie's innovative guitar playing. He is easily on the list of top 3-5 at most guitarists of all time, and has been voted #1on a list of top 100.
3. You don't really get to appreciate his abilities in this song because it more synth oriented, being released in the 80s.(Eddie is a classically trained pianist and self-taught guitarist, which is pretty mind boggling when you see what he can do) It is probably their most mainstream song of the Roth era and it has been in movies, commercials, games..I'd be surprised if you never heard it.
4. DLR is known for his dramatic flair and being one of the best front men in rock. Sammy is no slacker in that dept. Also very high energy and the better vocalist IMO, but...Dave is Dave. He brought a certain something to VH for sure. Sammy joined in 86, this song is from 84.
5. Watching Eruption solo, live without a net performance is absolutely mandatory for you to understand why EVH is considered a rock/guitar God! I see a few people have dropped links already.
6. Great VH video choices- Hot For Teacher, Panama, Running with the Devil with DLR. With Sammy on vocals (also known as Van Hagar) Poundcake, Dreams, Right Now, Finish What You Started. There are so many songs of theirs that are before the video era so there is a ton of audio I recommend. Mean Streets, Intruder/Little Guitars, Ice Cream Man, Ain't Talking Bout Love are a few.
7. Sammy's name is pronounced with a long A. 😊
PS, I've been singing Radar Love for 40 some years. Get used to it. 😂
Eddie Van Halen was a genius on the guitar. It came so naturally to him and he made it look so effortless but he also played other instruments very well and he passed his amazing talents on to his son Wolfgang who also played in the band when he turned 15 years old.
Eddie also did the guitar solo in Michael Jacksons beat it back in the 80s
For a case of beer 😂
Hahhahahahahah!!!! It's funny that you say that about the 'hair'... The 80's was known as the 'Big Hair Band' era... I was a teen going into adulthood during the greatest decade for music, movies, and probably America overall.... Growing up 80's was awesome!
David Lee Roth is the original singer. When Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen it became Van Hagar. Still like Sammy though - by himself.
Exactly!
I remember like it was yesterday when this song came out in 1984. I went and bought the CD. I am blessed to have lived through part of the late 70s, 80s, and 90s music.
Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love from their debut album Van Halen (1978). There isn't an official video, just the studio version.
what?it seems no one here knew the band ,by this logic the first and still sold 1st Lp of van halen didn´t was known till the 2000´s but i remenber in the all world being a big success ,even here in juda´s ass we knew van halen when he released the first Lp or there wouldn´t be a second or a sixth like another world success 1984, jump wasn´t also heard in every disco i went all over europe or the U.S.what about that terrible hit single "dance the night away" ,it seemed they made a bet, "lets release the worse album we can and see if it´s still a success"the van halen II after releasing one of the best rock album ever
the other songs are played live?
are they mr.Crane?
That guitar solo face...😯😀 Eddie is the master!! ❤🤍🖤
Yes Jay, they are considered a 80’s hair band. This band had many great hits over the years. Running with the Devil, Dreams, Right Now, Panama, Hot For Teacher. I can go on and on. Please listen to more of Van Halen you will not be let down at all.
They did form in the 70s though. Men wore long hair
Head on back to their 70s work, like Running with the Devil and Jamie’s Crying, sampled for a rap hit in the 80s, Wild Thing.
This is David Lee Roth. He made Van Halen just like David Ruffin made The Temptations. When he left, Van Halen was never the same. I hope that you will love this song as I do. Fell in love with this song from the first time I heard it back in 1984. Still love it today.
React to Dreams (Blue Angels) by Van Halen it has Sammy Hagar as lead singer. Same great group, different great lead singer.
As a young man just moving away to the big city to go to school after high school, I was so fortunate to afford to see Van Halen in concert on their 1984 tour! We had so-so tickets, very top row, looking straight across the front of the stage from the side. All of my friends left me to go down to the mail floor but, I had the BEST time ever! Van Halen in their prime, c'mon, doesn't get much better!!!
If getting your mind blown is something you enjoy...Eddie Van Halen’s Eruption from the 1986 Live Without a Net video, is the ultimate. You will never look at the guitar the same way again.
My first concert that I camped out for, and attended without my parents. 1984. I was 15, an AMAZING SHOW
This is my kids favorite Back in the eighties. Should do Eddie Van Halen’s “Eruption.” Guitar solo, he just passed away.🔥🔥
That "hook" bit was used by WGN when the Chicago Cubs games were starting up on the TV & used it for a few years. This song reminds me so much of when our first child was born in 1984 & this song was everywhere. I was on maternity leave & there was a TV station in Chicago that ran music videos pretty much 24/7 & I saw this video over & over. The song certainly brings back many happy memories to me.
80s rock bands are called hair bands for a reason😂
70's band that grew into the 80's vibe. I saw them the first time they played a college stadium and they weren't even the headliner. Boston was the main attraction, and Van Halen blew the crowd totally away. By the time they left the stage, when Boston began playing, everyone just left. WQDR was the Raleigh station there and it was the most amazing live show of the 70's.
yeah, ... I first thought it was Sammy Hagar, but quickly remembered it was David Lee Roth. Yes, 80s!
Jump!!! Van Halen musique d'intro du club de football français 🇨🇵 (Marseille) Olympique de Marseille 💙☝️💪🔥😁
Do a reaction on eruption live show you how Eddie Van Halen plays guitar he’s awesome!!
Hell yeah! Love David lee Roth great reaction!🙋🏻♀️🧨
Sammy Hagar also was the lead singer of Van Halen, But this is their first lead singer David Lee Roth, Both were great singers!
Running with the Devil. 1st song I ever heard from them back in early 80s. Still my Favorite
Check out eruption by Eddie van Halen
This song takes me back to my childhood watching my dad rock out to Eddie's,( rip,) guitar playing & Alex's drumming ( by the way both of them were so freaking talented.)
try hot for teacher - great song and a great video
We will for sure!
@@RobSquadReactions Definitely a good one for a next Van Halen video. The drum intro is great. Almost sounds like a hot rod engine.
The drummer went ballistic! You saw two hands but i heard eight! Amazing skills!
Sammy Hagar sang lead for just a little while... David Lee Roth was Van Halen's original singer and again after Sammy...
RIP Eddie Van Halen🔥🤘💜
10 years for Hagar, 11 for Roth. 10 is not “a little while.”
@@NOLAgenX no it's not
Yes, a BIG 80's Band!!
You should react to van halen dreams with sammy hagar as lead singer
Great band!!! Best with David Lee!!!🎼👍🎶🤞👌🎵✌️😎
Eddie Van Halen the guitarist is one the the worlds best
happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy
This song is made of joy.
Lol...wrong singer...David Lee Roth is a great front man and hard to replace. But Sammy did a great job. Eddie rewrote the book.
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halen...G.O.AT.🤟
They won a video award for this video. When asked Van Halen said, they did it on a empty stage with a 12 pack of beer. Yes, it's a great video because their joy in it is visible.
Jump was the opening song on the movie Ready Player One
I'm 53 and was lucky enough to see them in 84. They were the greatest to me. Listen to all that you can, you will enjoy all of it.
Van Halen then Van Hagar
One of the best front man performers in the business! Great concert!
David Lee Roth was the original then came Sammy Hagar then Gary Charone
Thanks For the info Dave!!
David Lee Roth was the original lead singer of the band, but the band was always about lead guitarist Eddie Van Halen one of the greatest to ever do it, and his brother who was on drums. Sammy Hagar took over after I believe their fourth album, and then toward the end of their career David Lee Roth returns to the band. Tragically within the past year Eddie Van Halen died, but his guitar work is Iconic.
Dont forget that brief stint by the singer of Extreme 🙃
I miss Eddie.
Oh Eddie💚🎶 he knew how to make that guitar sing✌🌟🌟 RIP ⚘
