I remember using the line, “I don’t feel tardy.”
The teacher didn’t think it was as funny as I did.
I say it when I’m late to work to this day.
Hey you should go visit that teacher and play that song for her, see if she gets a laugh out of it then. If she's still alive.
My favorite back line from the song.
I've been known at work to say that, if a meeting is getting behind to start, and I've just heard about it. 😉
@@natalievegas I like
I heard ya missed us we're baaack
That relentless drumming is gifted to us by Alex Van Halen. One of the most underrated drummers being overshadowed by his fabulous brother Eddie. RIP.
Yeah but he ended up being a Beverly Hills Gynocologist
RIP Eddie Van Halen. One of the most innovative guitar players of all time.
Still shocked. Like we lost our fave uncle 😭
Who is here because he died. I've got a deep sad. I love you Eddie, have fun with the guys.
RIP EVH. Hope you're jamming with the other guitar greats in the sky.
mee....soaking up all I can get....ahhhh the memories..and damn good rock n roll!!!
Yes, revisiting some things and trying to find what I might have missed on the web. EVH was my favorite since I got into music over 30 years ago. R.I.P. to a legend
I guess I'm here indirectly because of Eddie's passing. There's definitely been a lot more VH in my feed the last few days. Liked them as a kid, and grew to love them as an adult.
All of us 😭
David Lee Roth is one of those people who is a born performer. He's just so talented it's great to watch him in everything that he does.
can't sing in pitch and miss every line live, love him tho, Hagar ain´t got shit on this dude
Joel Albinsson Hagar is a mediocre boring pop star with boring vocals
@@joelalbinsson9286 Bands are made to be seen live. I'll take the guy who can sing any day. Hagar was extremely underrated as a front man and i've watched them live 3 times in the late 80s early 90s.
The opening drums (listen to the album version, not the music video version) was made to sound like an idling Harley. I think he nailed it!
When I first heard the song thats what I thought it was
Absolutely.
Actually the first 5 secs is eddies lambo.
Alex is a BEAST on drums!🥁🤘
Yeah, fun fact did you know, the original intro is Impossible to play correctly? you would need to have 3 hands to play the Intro. Hertas on the floor tom, constant double kick and some low tom, but the Hertas are always going on the floor tom, so its Impossible.
:D
They missed reacting to one of the greatest rock and roll double entendres ever written: "I brought my pencil! Give me something to write on!"
yup. Right over their head.
I’ve been laughing at that line for decades.
Mark Cruz 😁
Mark Cruz I never realized that until you said it lol
Play this song at a bar and you get eveeybody yellin that part hah.
who came here after hearing the passing of Eddie Van Halen. Your music and legacy will be lived on forever. RIP Eddie , Love you.
Eddie Van Halen played the guitar solo on Michael Jackson's "Beat It".
yep
he was in a guitar shop and some kids went 'listen to that guy trying to sound like van halen' and he said 'that is me'
Even further (and more legendary), he showed up, did the solo in one take and didn't even charge for his contribution.
@@Big_Sierra : Eddie walked in, REARRANGED THE SONG, laid down two takes on the Solo, and walked out... No charge...
He caught slack by managers of VH for not charging. Ed never regretted it...stated simply "I had no idea it would be a no.1 hit" and laughed. He was just glad to record/work with Quincy Jones, and I`m sure Michael.
If by "did it for free" you mean got assed out of royalties, then yes.
The adult 'Waldo' was played by Randy Bachman, a guy I grew up with. He had a degenerative bone disease that kept one or more of his limbs perpetually casted because his bones broke so easily. Never slowed him down, though. The dude had heart.
In later years, he became quite well-known locally as a photographer who was highly respected in the SF Bay Area music scene, which was thriving back then. Because of his skill and his engaging personality, he was befriended by a lot of people in the industry and ended up doing cameos in other rock videos from this same era.
Sadly, he died fairly young when he was struck and killed by a car while doing a photo shoot on the streets of San Francisco.
And yeah, he did kinda look like Rick Moranis in this video. LOL.
RIP, brother.
Not sure what you mean. Waldo was portrayed by Keith Kessinger who now does a great cover of this song. He also has his own gig. th-cam.com/video/7MKU5ZCEQZk/w-d-xo.html
@@TeamOneFocus liar liar pants on fire. ..it's the guy who got hit by that car...The whole world knows this
@@abelesser69Are talking about the kid who portrays Waldo in the video?
www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Tribute-to-Rock-Image-Maker-3046502.php@@TeamOneFocus
Damn! Rest in Peace, Godspeed.
Eddie's big brother, Alex, on drums. The funny thing.....as kids, Eddie was playing drums, Alex was the guitar player in the family. One day Alex came home and heard little brother on the guitar and decided right then and there; he's the s**t, so he naturally switched to drums. A fortuitous switch by the brothers Van Halen.
Actually, it was the other way around. Eddie heard Alex on drums and gave his kit to Alex.
When this song came out every Van Halen fan's mouth dropped. This was incredibly original and very difficult to play.
I remember when I first heard it on the radio. I dont think any song blew my mind as much as hot for teacher.
Back when MTV actually played ... wait for it... MUSIC!
You mean before they played maybe 1 hour of music a day and before 23 hours a day of "reality" shows about pregnant teenagers ???????? You must be close to my age (64) if you remember when MTV really stood for music television.
@@billwilliams3884
I remember when this new thing called cable TV came to town. I finally got hooked up the same day MTV aired its first episode. Now cable TV is dying and it's primary purpose has become spreading political propaganda, same with MTV. But then I also remember when German monks brought the Gregorian chant to Rome.
Yeah, those were the good old days. There’s some much good music floating around out there now and so many places to find it, but I’m 52 and I remember when MTV was were it was at and most anything I loved I saw on MTV first. Now they’re a vapid waste land of trash tv that only no one that has any taste can stand. It’s blasphemy that they still call themself “music” television. Everyone should just reference them as trash tv now. I don’t think it matters much now days to be honest. Cable is about dead.
You just said one of my favourite lines, to ever say.
Yes it was very sad when Comcast turned MTV into a shit show.
Funny story about David Lee Roth: David Lee Roth went on tour about 10 years ago with another of Van Halen's singers, Sammy Hagar. They interviewed him and asked how they were getting along.
David said "You know, Sammy is alright, but he has this thing where he thinks he's the life of the party. And that's cool. But I AM the party, so he needs to learn that."
Mr. Charisma, even at his older age.
-Innkeeper Vase Odin
10 years ago he was back with Van Halen. that Sammy tour was almost 20 years ago
@@kevinwillson341 wow! Time flies! That's crazy,!
Van Halen - 1984 is one of the greatest albums of all time. Love them or hate them....you can't deny them boys could PLAY!!
yup!!! Drop Dead Legs my fav from the album
my first album I ever got. my dad came home one day with it and said listen to this!
IMO Fair Warning is the greatest album Van Halen ever made. They were at their peak in 1981 but declined with the next album Diver Down. Although 1984 was a good album in its own right, it pushed VH into a completely different direction musically (the synth era). I guess they did what they had to do to stay on top considering 84 was the height of synth driven New Wave Pop. Core fans who followed VH since their debut were less thrilled with 1984 and the band cemented that with the very next album .... Sammy Hagar and 5150.
You have one cool Dad!! I remember when VH burst onto the scene with the first album, I was a senior in High School....blew me away.
@@jlid1 same here. all of my friends were like wtf? 1984 is still killer though.
Eddie Van Halen's opening riffs at the beginning of the song is a master class in the guitar technique of tapping.
When this song came out we ended up getting a substitute teacher in 7th grade that was absolutely beautiful and only about 23 or so. We had the cut up class and there were constant references flying around from the wise ass kids that thought it was over her head. I'm sure she knew exactly what we meant looking back.
I REALLY like these dudes! It seems like they are actually hearing these songs for the first time and they what's good and they are very positive. The last one is a HUGE f'cking deal right right now
Actually, I think this song is experienced better without the video. Great tune! Do some Dire Straights - Money for Nothing or Sultans of Swing!
Right you are. The video, for a first time listen, is distracting.
100% correct, better without the video.
Agree. Better to listen without the video.
I agree, they need to do Dire Straights. I'd settle for Walk of Life as well 👍
Agreed!
RIP EVH, one of the greatest shredders to ever live. This is my favorite video of theirs. The story, the hilarious motown dance sequences, and the song itself are the perfect mix to properly showcase the band's skill and sense of humor.
"Lifting desks up with no hands!" Right?? Shit, I was juggling those desks!! Hahaha.
lol
Ya'll need to react to "Ice Cream Man".........aw hell, just react to the entire first album! You might recognize the beginning drums of "Jamie's Cryin'"
Jimmy Richards, I'll always remember Eddie Van Halen's reaction. " Wait, that's my brother's drums". " Holy Shit, that's my guitar"
Eddie didn't seek any lawsuits,he just asked for recognition on the next pressings. I believe also said that he was already rich, and to let Tone Loc have his success. If that is true,it doesn't get much better. Tone Loc probably had less to do with it than the record company.
Little guitars
Eddie Van Halen played the solo in Michael Jackson’s Beat It.
Steve Stevens was borrowed from Billy Idol's band to play on Dirty Diana. When MJ was on tour, Stevens often accompanied him to fill in for EVH, since they were on tour at the same time.
The 'Beat It' solo is actually my favorite EVH solo of all time, truth be told. (well, and all the guitar work during the second half of 'Me Wise Magic'.)
@@omnipop4936 me wise magic is amazing!! too bad it will never happen live..
No shit!? Thx for that. It seems farfetched until you think about it. Great rock musicians i believe are idoled by many musical gods regardless of style. Theyre fun.
No shit, asshole.
The kids are all the younger versions of the members of the band. Waldo has no back story other than being an anxiety ridden kid who is not with the "popular" crowd.
This was quintessential 80s debauchery. Best decade to grow up during. Don't forget The Mars Volta-L'via Drunkenship of Lanterns or the Widow.
Ain't Talkin' Bout Love is my favorite one, too. The guitar riff at the beginning is GREAT.
That's a great song!
Alex Van Halen is playing swung 16th notes on the double bass for almost the entire song...it's one of the most ridonkulous drum beats I've ever heard laid down.
I said the same shit! People don't realize how far Alex went in on this song. He's as good as his brother!
It was criminal that the attention David and Eddie got (even well deserved) hid the amazing talent that Alex had on drums. No doubt in top ten all-time rock drummers.
Supposed to mimick a hot rod engine idleing. Recorded in a racketball court.
@@sterlingarcher8441 In the late 1980s, I was walking through the local county fair with my ghetto blaster playing Hot For Teacher.
I suddenly heard the same rhythm from some yards ahead of me. . . it was a 'parade' of dune buggies. . . and one of them idled to the *exact rhythm*
Blew my mind.
80's music was just fun. It brings out the best in you.
It’s inspirational
It makes you want to pick up the guitar and start a damn band
I'm a bit shocked that you guys haven't reacted to Stevie Ray Vaughan! Texas flood or The Sky is Crying. And when you do, watch a live performance!!
Rory Gallagher!
Better yet, their "Live From Austin" of Riviera Paradise.
Couldn't Stand The Weather
I have brought that up a few times. It is crazy.
Ive mentioned Texas flood or voodoo chile live while back. Hopefully they could get to something by srv
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
EVH is one of the greatest and cleanest players of all time.
I graduated from high school in 1983. There was no internet then. We went outside and partied at the beach or at pool parties all summer. Van Halen and the B-52's were the soundtrack of our summer parties back then. Damn, I miss those days.
I laughed at Ryan trying to break down the video and find meaning there. The song is about screwing his teacher. That’s it.
Plus you missed one of the defining aspects of the song which is buried in the opening of the video which is the amazing drum intro. Still one of the greatest drum syncopations in rock history. Next time just listen to the song without the silly “we are completely high on cocaine” 80’s video.
I laughed aloud at that last sentence!
I remember there being a rumor back in the day that the beginning was a recording at the tailpipes of one of the band members’ Pantera. 😆
Rob Heiser it is actually a trick that Alex had created by using an electronic drum kit. I don’t know where he got the idea, so it could be to replicate a Pantera’s engine noise, but to me it always sounded like a top fuel dragster. The drum sounds on this song are samples created to replicate real snare, tom, and base drum sounds but they are activated by striking a rubber “drum head” trigger. Alex set up several triggers with slightly different base kick tones and played different time signatures using these triggers to get that cool sound. Really creative, and unless your kit is set up for these trigger sound selections, it is really hard to replicate live for other players.
LMAO
@@Sommertest It also has layering so nobody can get it absolutely perfect. Never seen Alex playing that part live fully.
Thanks for the throwback. Been about 35 years since I’ve seen that song. Try Van Halen “And the Cradle Will Rock”.
Check out Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads. Mr. Crowley or Diary of a Madman
Good choice. Little Dolls or Flying High Again though.
Sharon won't allow that.
@@bm625 Are they blocked? I was able to view both on You Tube...
@@adamtrombino106 They used to be. I hadn't searched any of Ozzy's songs recently because in the past when I did I'd hardly get any results. What I meant by my comment is that if Lost In Vegas reviews an Ozzy song, it would probably be taken down. It depends on what the copyright holder allows.
Randy Rhoads. lol.
Glad they gave props to how amazing Alex is on drums, as well as Eddie with his riffs and solo.
If you want a VH song you'd play over and over, either "Panama" or "Eruption/Really Got Me". Those are just amazing, as far as musicality goes.
Just don't do the Panama video lol. Had they left out the silly hanging from a wire it be ok of a video to play lol
How bout some Stevie Ray Vaughan??? Anything live by him. Voodoo Child, Texas Flood, Life Without You, Couldn't Stand the Weather.
Robert Schneider only one little wing
Couldn’t stand the weather FTW.
Look at little sister live at montreux '85 is the phenomenal.
Robert Schneider ,
If Voodoo Chile+Slight Return, it has to be from Live at El Mocambo. It's a great balance of his technical prowess and letting the emotion in the notes breathe out in the phrasing.
Robert Schneider Texas Flood live at ElMocambo is one of the greatest love recordings ever. I request it on all of their videos...don’t think they will ever react to SRV. Lol.
Love VH but prefer the earlier stuff. But they were one of the best bands in the day.....btw I am a teacher. 😊
LessThan Zero and...are you hot? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
.....I too, prefer the early raw Van Halen; The sound was so new, groundbreaking, and timeless. What they captured here is good humor within rock. They deliver a smile on your face... and that's okay by me! LOL. But the original VH has the most "grit". I crank that up when I need adrenaline. Thanks for the reaction Ryan & George!!
LessThan Zero I’m hot for you 😂😂😂
My teachers were all old. Its a shame
LessThan Zero Are you a Type O fan btw?
Soundgarden - The Day I Tried to Live
Redscorp71 oh hell yeah
Banger!
Hell yeah !!!!
VH for me was mind blowing technical music that put a smile on your face! Another master musician leaves the earth....I hope you and Neil Peart can have a jam! RIP Eddie! Gutted!
I am still shocked ans sad. Like losing a fave Uncle😭
The thing a lot of people miss too is what an engineer he was. Playing aside, modded amps, invented the super strat, created the drop D tuning switch - the man had patents!
Van Halen song I recommend Running with The Devil.
Hell yeah!
Yes!
Ice Cream Man!
Yeah, but technically, it’s not a hard song. I can play Running with the Devil, and I’m shit on the guitar. I can even play the solo!
YES!
you guys really need to check out "Mean Streets" by Van Halen. it's such a dirty groove, you'll love it.
My favorite Van Halen, bar none.
As a drummer I concur
The absolute best!!!! That groove is filthy!!!!
good intro, that song blows.
Yes
Iron Maiden- 'Powerslave' or 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'.
Whitesnake- 'Walking in the Shadow of the Blues'.
Fates Warning- 'Life in Still Water'.
You have fine taste my friend.
Life in still water....one of my all time favourite FW tracks.
Peace.
David Lee Roth is in fact still cool as hell.
Stevie Ray Vaughan- Texas Flood pleaseeee
I saw David Lee Roth singing for Bad Company in concert at Boise State University about 15 years ago. He was old then, I'm sure he's much older than 60 now. But even then, the concert was amazing.
In Kindergarten the teacher was so old she looked ready for the casket and I remember her saying, "Quack, quack" if your shoes were on the wrong foot. In first grade the teacher was so hot and I was in love. There were three little boys and I was one of them and the teacher was so wonderful to the three smallest boys except she announced at the end of the year she was getting married and I was heart broken.
Aces High- Iron Maiden(with Winston Churchill intro) or
2 minutes to midnight
Douglas Seebergh Love that song! I just scored tickets to their show in Houston next September. I hope they play it... with Churchill's speech intro!!!
I love the “Live After Death” version of “Aces High.” Churchill was such a bad ass. “We’ll fight them and We’ll never surrender!” And the guitars kick in. Such a brilliant idea to start the song that way. They were always good at historical songs like that. Check out the song Passchendaele. It’s about World War I and trench warfare.
Guns N Roses - Civil War
Accept - Balls to the Wall
Helmet - Unsung
That drum beat at the intro of Hot for Teacher alone makes this song too cool...
And, DLR, "I don't feel Tardy", lol...lots of comedy in the song... it's a playlister for me. Nice choice.
Definitely 'Mean Street' next.
Old school Van Halen, with an incredible groove. Definite playlist.
R.I.P Eddie Van Halen
1955-2020
One of the GREATEST guitarists of ALL TIME
passed away today 😔
You guys would like Meanstreet from Van Halen's Fair Warning album. Hell, you'd like every song from that album!
More pantera please, they deserve the second and third reaction!
I agree. But, Phil's racist outburst has pushed our friends, understandably, away from Pantera. I happen to believe Phil made a failed attempt at a satirical point, but the optics are bad. I honestly don't believe he's a racist. I've spent time with the dude, and I've always paid close attention to his writings..... Zero racism present.
@@derekn3336 Agreed. I don't believe Phil is a racist either but he's said & done some very silly things before & he's had a tendency in the past to speak & act without thinking, often when drunk &/or high. He's also often been provoked & happily takes the bait to the joy of the media & his own detriment unfortunately. I personally think he's quite misunderstood but he has also been the architect of his own downfall on numerous occasions.
@@derekn3336 What racial outburst? He commented on the Walk video and they exchanged some very nice words of appreciation as far as I saw.
BLACK SABBATH NEON KNIGHTS!!!!!😈
good choice
David Lee Roth is 64. He is still doing it and seems to be having fun. I saw a interview with him about a month ago. I was 25 when this song came out and it was so hilarious. But I loved their music, true professionals
Van Halen - Mean Street
Mean song, great at high volume in car
"Panama" by Van Halen is pretty rad.
nah... everybody wants some.
Could this be magic?
You guys are awesome. I remember the first time I saw this video on MTV, I definitely enjoyed watching it with you two more.
Thanks!
The musicianship is definitely off the charts...I get pumped every time i hear it
*I'm so afraid by Fleetwood Mac* : It's totally underrated, one of the best and most emotional rock songs and solos
For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica
It's time.
Yes
Yeeeees
Uh. Absolutely. It's PAST due.
Live shit binge and purge
SRV - Texas Flood! Or Running with the Devil if you want another Van Halen classic.
Best line "I don't feel tardy" lol. Like wtf does tardy fee like.
@neogalford Left behind.
About 10 minutes late, stoned AF
"I don't feel dirty"
Hahaha. I was in 9th grade and my best friend and I came strolling in late to Aerospace class(yes it was offered to us) and our teacher(whom I still hear his voice) says to my buddy Jared Davis who came in first.
"Davis, do you know you're tardy?"
Jared be like "I don't feel tardy" with the shrug and all. Lol
The whole damn class just cracked up. Bunch of us dudes in class had been jamming this song from the Album 1984 along with the other songs for weeks after its release. Man those were fun times. Rip Eddie. Like I lost a fave uncle today😭
"Awww wow man. I think the clock is slowwww. I don't feel tardy. CLASS DISMISSED!!"
One thing you can always count on, is David Lee Roth can and will put on a show.
He was born a showman.
Lost in Vegas has came a long way 🙌🏽
Next Van Halen song needs to be Mean Street!
Nicholas Kent if they loved Ain’t Talkin.... can’t wait for them to hear Mean Street
Or Unchained
i agree!
What about bottoms up or take your whiskey home?
Drop dead legs...
I forgot about DLR's vocal range. He really hits that high note. You guys wanna check out some early, OG Van Halen, "And The Cradle Will Rock." Hard. And heavy.
For the Love of God - Steve Vai
Chuck Howard Tender Surrender (live) is a better choice.
It has clean jazzy parts and wild shredding and much more complex shredding than FTLOG.
And has the same level of emotion.
They can do that one second.
They should react to the G3 version
This video is a shorter version of the song. Way better without the video. Try Van Halen "mean street". Also would love to see a reaction of Dokken "kiss of death" or "In my dreams"
The first six songs of "Fair Warning" is a must-listen for the Vegas guys!
Mean Streets, Hear About It Later, and Unchained are my all-time favs.
Def need to get to Dokken. KoD would be a good one.
Definitely recommend Dokken. My favorite song is “Tooth and Nail.”
Dokken: Mr. Scary (George Lynch's masterpiece)
Just thought I'd share, I can do the Mean Street intro on guitar AND I did this pointillism of the album cover in high school:
i57.tinypic.com/rmr4tf.jpg
Really great vid on how to do the intro, seems like they nailed the correct way I was doing it wrong for years:
th-cam.com/video/_7REzdVasTc/w-d-xo.html
If you do a Van Halen song, you should do "Unchained."
David Childers why didn’t I think of that??!
The mighty van Halen.
Never ever again will there be a band like this.
David Lee Roth was recently on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Interesting interview.
Just do the entire first Van Halen album. You'll love the whole thing
Temple of the Dog “Say Hello to Heaven”
Richo Suave yes!
Hunger Strike would probably be a better introduction.
Yes
Tyfunk 02 ehh, Hunger Strike is a good song, but it’s literally Cornell and Vedder singing the same verse back to back. Say Hello to Heaven actually has deep personal meaning to Cornell and you can hear it in his vocals as it’s arguably his best vocal performance.
Four walled world
I haven't heard this song or seen the video in a hot minute! I forgot how funny it was 😂 "I got my....pencillllll!"
Great reaction guys! How about some Motley Crue? Hmmm... maybe Wild Side, Primal Scream, Shout at the Devil.
Kickstart my heart or GTFO!
yes!!
@@youtubetrollking1880 that's a good one. I was just thinking of songs they probably hadn't heard :)
Kickstart my heart
Omg I laughed so hard when I heard “is that Rick Moranis?” You guys know your 80’s, I love it
do they, though? Rick Moranis was in GHOSTBUSTERS, the same year this came out. How can a kid be the accountant in Ghostbusters?
‘Cause he looks like Rick Moranis. The same way there’s a guy who lives near me who looks like Elvis. Wtf
@@angelan393 do you not understand the 30 year age difference? No matter how much he looks like him, the timeline doesnt add up.
Jason Michael Gomez Are you implying , then, that following your literal line of thinking that it’s impossible for long-dead Elvis to be living in my neighborhood? Screw your timeline- not only was Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters, but at the same time also performed in “Equine” on stage- and still had time to guest-host the Conan O’Brian show.
@@angelan393 yawn. lol.
If you want to do VAN HALEN right you need to start at the very beginning
ERUPTION/ RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL
You listen to that and you'll know
word. check out "Running With The Devil" for sure!
They just did. Rip Eddie
David Lee Roth once worked as an EMT ( Emergency Medical Technician) in NYC in the late 90s- early 2000s!
Do Panama by Van Halen. It'll have your head bangin throughout the whole song to the steady bass drum!!
Running with the Devil
Thst song was the 2nd video after Jump... Friday night videos payed it 19 weeks in a row
Dat bridge...
I saw DLR back in 2000 when he did a club tour. Hearing his band open with this song changed my life. When the guitarist did the intro descending run and the drums and bass kicked in.........my entire insides were resonating with the bass and drums! It was borderline religious what I experienced that night! Van Halen 1984 is one of the greatest rock and roll albums of the 80’s, if not all time! And this video is just icing on the cake.
Van Halen. Got dang. Can't go wrong with anything off 1984. Hot for Teacher is my favorite off there, but Drop Dead Legs is another with some really great riffs (who am I kidding, EVERY Van Halen riff is great). Top Jimmy is another. It was probably their biggest album (had Jump and Panama on it). Diver Down is another of their albums with zero bad songs.
You guys definitely should check out Running with the Devil, too. It's the first track from their first album. Fire.
hinney827 my fav jam is I’ll Wait
@@BRO77TX so many great ones. I've always liked Van Halen, but they've really become one of my top two or three favorites in the last few years.
DROP DEAD LEGS. Pretty smile. Hurts my head. Gets me wild.
@@wulfganglover did that steam, giant BUTT
Goddamnit Van Halen was fire in those DLR days.Forgive me, Lord.

Knows four languages, including Japanese. lived for a couple of years in Japan to fully immerse himself in the culture, has numerous martial arts levels and is certified as a master teacher, has a helicopter pilot's license, climbed K2, trained and worked as an EMT for the experience of it, has competed as an advanced level sheepdog herder (no kidding!) , As well as having advanced military tactical training, and a great artist, just to name some things people are aware of. He is a true Renaissance man as well as musician.
Audioslave - I am the highway
Alex. One of the best drummers in rock history. He never gets his due!
Waldo’s Voice was from SNL’s Phil Hartman.
This video was the shit back in the day. I don't think Van Halen would've made it without David Lee Roth. You would love almost everything from VH that has DLR. You can definitely see the difference in style when Sammy Hagar came along. That's not Van Halen, that's Van Hagar.
Can't argue with the charisma and spin Dave brought to the overall package. But whether with Sammy or Dave, the musicianship was top notch, because it was Eddie and Alex who were the music. And they're extremely talented musicians.
I totally love VH with DLR but Eddie had me sprung in the 80s. And I love Sammy without VH.
You're Van Hagar
Dave was the Prototype frontman of the eighties. Maybe not the greatest singer, but pure Entertainer with Charisma to spare. Definitely have the it Factor. Any music that comes on the radio and involuntarily makes you increase your speed 20 miles an hour. That's damn good music!
DAMN! This brings back such GREAT memories! Retro-GREATNESS!!
Ooo, Billy Idol-Rebel Yell. Need to listen to it LOUD, it's a experience
They would be crying "MORE! MORE! MORE!"

One of the BEST music videos of all time.... actually i think van halen has at least 5 of the best videos of ALL TIME. Rest in peace Eddie.... you were a legend.
if you do another Van Halen, try Mean Street. I'm sure you'll dig it.
I agree...Dire Straights Sultans of Swing has one of the best guitar solos...Love.
first one I ever learned.
I agree with the previous comment, you gotta hear the full intro in order to appreciate how badass Alex Van Halen is
several other people do these type of reviews, but I like watching you guys the best; especially when you review Rush songs. You seem like genuinely nice guys and it comes through on the channel while watching your reactions
Just listen to their first three LP's and you'll find several "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love" songs that'll make your play list.
Can we get some zz top reactions?
Completely agree. Some SRV would be great too. More Texas blues!
La Grange is a good starter
My head is in missippi, rough boy, blue jean blues!
Cheap Sun Glasses by them would make a great reaction video
Mark Clark no
"I don't feel TARDY"!
William Johnson I still laugh at that line
Adam Schulte it makes me giggle too.
I saw Van Halen 3 times in the 80's and their stage show was always AMAZING
keep in mind while most bands have a rhythm and lead guitarist Van Halen only had one. Eddie is playing it all.
Try Jump or Panama from them or some Sammy Hagar /Van Halen Summer Nights from the album 5150
OR Panama. EVery song off their first 3 albums is better than anything on 1984 or the shit w/ Hagar. ugh.
You guys should react to: In Living Color-CULT OF PERSONALITY
I've made the same suggestion myself a couple times.
I say we all keep bothering them about Cult of Personality.
Its such a great freakin song like...you hear the opening guitar riff and, you're throwing up the 'devil' horns and singing aloud. Thats why I love it, cause its also very singable.
Also, may have one of the best (and also my personal favorite) guitar solo EVER. Perfect mix of technical and feel. Okay, Ill stop blabbering now lol.
@@NashaWriter85 I agree with all of that.
No, do Love Rears Its Ugly Head by Living Color! One of the best songs ever made! I'm sure you'll love that more
One of my favourite songs and gives some nostalgia to me.
