HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- This version was recorded for Spanish TV, "Mean Street"" was the second single from "Fair Warning".
Reframed and adjusted the aspect ratio, touched up the video, added a little bit of sharpening as well as adding enhanced audio.
Hope you enjoy!
This song doesn't get the credit it deserves, RIP, Eddie, the rock world misses you.
Mean Street is one of the most popular and powerful tunes. It definitely gets the credit it deserves.
This is their most original powerful album. It definitely proved that Van Halen was the greatest hard rock band on the planet!!
It did in the 1980s
Nobody misses a bully.
This is Van Halen at their pinnacle. This is Van Halen!
No Doubt, I have seen them many times, with Dave was the best!
Yes, it certainly is.
Late 70s early 80s they were the shit!!!!!
Saw VH in 81' Oakland just incredible in their prime!!👍💯♥️
There are great guitarists, but there will never be another Eddie Van Halen
He had his own style but there were better guitarists .don't believe the hype
You are a fn looser never speak of Eddie in the context of common , his only contemporary was Hendrix.@acdz
Never mind his playing, Eddie had to be one of the coolest live performers ever. His playing, his moves, his positive vibes. He had it all.
This video was actually the band playing to the recorded studio version. I'm surprised they did this, because like you said he was a good live performer.
@Darren DeMarco That's wild. I never knew that? When did that happen?
@Darren DeMarco Ah ok. Fair warning is my favorite album too.
Eddie's moves? Great guitarist no doubt, but who could take their eyes up "Jumping" Diamond Dave?
@@DaryMatera Well, he was a showman's showman, but I have a soft spot for guitarist, being a crappy one myself.
Fair Warning...my favorite album of the real Van Halen.
I had the 33, wore that bitch out!
With full respect to Van Hager, this was Van Halen at their best...raw sound combined with pop-like song writing...doesn’t get any better
Tell THAT to all the assholes that think the shitty noise being passed off is music today. They don't have the first fucking clue what real music is!
Can you imagine how much better they would be with CC DeVille on guitar?
@@tyronejefforeillyramirez7961 No one would've ever heard of them. CC DeVille and Eddie Van Halen were worlds apart in their style of playing and musicianship. Eddie was CC's inspiration. It was Eddie's guitar licks that put this band on the map!
@@solarismoon3046 was a total joke. I think CC is one of the worst.
What???? CC couldn't hold a candle to Eddie Van Halen. Go attend an NA meeting. Wow.
Sadly there never be another era of rock and roll like 60s and 80s. RIP Eddie!! Graduated in 87 and I'm so glad I had a lasting impression on my kids. They acknowledge and appreciate music from this era. My ears still ringing from blasting this full volume
Most likely will never happen again, years of playing out before going to the studio.
Every generation says this. Tons of Van Halen like bands out there rocking it. Billboard has many different charts, including heavy metal, etc. Wolfgang Van Halen's first solo album was Number 1 on one of those charts recently. Without a single radio hit.
I seen them in 1978 with black sabbath , Portland Oregon & at the jantzen Beach arena
What about the 70s
Well said 😢
1981... My Highschool years.. VanHalen ROCKS! ❤
RIP EDDIE ... YOU AND VAN HALEN GAVE ME MANY GREAT MEMORIES GROWING UP .... THE GOAT !!!!
GUITAR GOD. EDWARD VAN HALEN
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
REST IN PEACE BROTHER.

Uu
This is hard to believe. He was one of a kind. Tops in my book.
..tops.🎩
Yes
He was the goat!

Greatest of all 80's rock bands.
70s as well
@@killercross2323 no. Zeppelin, Purple, Sabbath get that title
Nope ..... DIO and IRON MAIDEN
@@NeverInvite5.0 I love Dio but he's known more for his total collaborations than his individual output. For example ( Sabbath and Rainbow) so as an individual artist there were people doing bigger things.
Iron maiden absolutely gets that title because without them you wouldn't have Thrash metal, Death, Doom, Technical metal, Speed metal, pretty much anything we can think about and they're still relevant and still giving out their 100%.
Their shows are better than most newer bands.
Sabbath created the genre but Iron maiden made Metal what it is today.
@@pinkled4429 I wasn't talking about Ronnie James Dio being a solo artist. I stated DIO as a group! When I was growing up and in my area, their output was very popular. I've seen them, twice, in concert and The Coliseum was packed. Back then, I never heard anybody say there were others doing bigger things, even if there was.
DIO was a band, led by Ronnie James Dio, putting out many albums that sold. Even with Black Sabbath (Ronnie James Dio), he was never considered a solo artist. They were acknowledged amongst the greatest, by many. Growing up, it's all I would hear.... DIO (The Band), Queensryche, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Dokken, Krokus, Molly Hatchet, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Ratt, etc.
Maybe, where you're from, that was your experience and what you believe, so I never said anything to you. Fresh out of high school, during that era, it's what we always listened to. The band, not considered a collaboration, at the time. "Holy Diver", "Last In Line" & "Dream Evil" were classics. DIO was a heavy metal band, mentioned amongst the greatest.
When they ruled the world. Classic Van Halen was/is unstoppable.
Van Halen rocks harder even when they're faking it than most bands today.
I'm a VH fan, from the beginning. They were special. I was saddened to see DLR go. Back then, no one could hold a candle to them. They were fresh. They were rockin. As far as I'm concerned... they're still relevant. There is no other.
We can let this slide because we all know that he did even better than this when he played live concerts. He proved himself many times over. This is obviously just to promote the LP at the time.😁
I love Sammy but he could never write a vocal melody like this. Sammy was too pop and Dave was straight up Blues/Rock
@@danielbrown1724 Sammy was a great classic rocker in montrose, and solo, but he had to function around van Helen's style which was formed David Lee Roth's style. David Lee and Eddie were straight cool hippies that once got high together. And, that's how they wrote music.
@@guitarttimman Exactly. But, sometimes I wonder if bands like VH were enthusiastic at all about lip-syncing. Ya know... faking it. Feel like Eddie would have been eye-rollin the idea. I guess if the price was right... they would have played with a ukulele and a bongo.
I remember when this album came out,
Mean Street blew me away!!
Fair warning
That guitar intro with that little dive bomb at the end still gives me chills. A killer opening track to an underrated album. Still miss you Eddie.
=VH= 🤘🏻🎶🎵🎸
2:18 Great😊❤
And drums didn't plug in. In These days. Microphone up
And plus you can tell that at the end they wasn't playing .
My favorite Van Halen album. Every sing is good.
I love Sammy but he could never write a vocal melody like this. Sammy was too pop and Dave was straight up Blues/Rock
One of the best 4 piece bands California ever released on the world!
The Best.
Most the other like Metallica came to be because they hated cali
@@reptar5124, that could be part of it for sure.
@@reptar5124 Ya, I liked that Van Halen embraced being from Cali..and I'm NOT even from there.
@@thismothafuckasaid7304 yeah I agree. David Lee Roth was on Rogan speaking east LA cholo talk. Very rooted and gave them the street wise attitude. It was before glam metal and I understand why ppl like Metallica rebelled against it and Dave Mustain said Glam stands for Gay L A Metal. The bands like Poison and Cinderella became annoying. Motley Crue and Guns and Roses even though not glam had elements of that glam era bc it was so dumb big. Thrash was a big finger to that and Cobain even more so. But Van Halen was the 1st and best the rest are wannabes
My personal favorite Van Halen tune R.I.P. mister Van Halen.
Mine as well , it's flawless and just so kick ass in every way imaginable .
With you on that man 👍
Panama?
Awww you dont have to call me Mr. Fuckface will do just fine.🤧
Gas, grass or ass. What was I talkin about??😅😅😅
True genius, no fakes, just real!
the instruments aren't plugged in
A little trivia... Eddie Van Halen said "Fair Warning" was his favorite album.
Mine as well!!!
Same
Mine too
Same! Too many underrated cuts on this album
Dirty Movies!
The greatest American rock band in their absolute prime. Fuck, they were amazing.
That talent came came at a tremendous price. Be careful what you wish for and who your asking.
@@davestreet7114 I don't really understand how your comment applies to early VH. Unless I'm missing something, they weren't sacrificing animals to demons or drinking blood for fame. Their success was talent in combination with busting their asses in clubs and refining their craft for YEARS. VanHalen busted their asses and put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into their success, Beyond that, you lost me.
Heaviest and greatest groove ever created in rock. End of discussion.
Let me set the stage. High school. Party. It’s goin ok. Suddenly. Van halen mean streets comes on. Party suddenly goes into a frenzy. A energy enters the room. And it’s electric. Bombastic. Boys. Thank you. You gave us so many endless hours of joy. Pure pleasure.
RIP EDDIE, Thanks for the memories! You were the best and most explosive guitarist ever, in my humble opinion! You were truly the best of the best!! RIP EDDIE......................
God Bless you Edward. Your guitar was so much a part of my youth. Van Halen was my fave band.
In my opinion this is their best album the whole album just flows, E V H rest in peace I don't care what they said about you you are a great musician. I don't give a s*** what anybody says this is the true Van Halen
When I heard Van Halen for the first time, I was blown away from the guitar sounds..!! Unbelievable sounds!! My favorite Guitar Player. RIP.
The best mother fr guitarist ever.rest in peace.thanks for all the memories.🙏
This is outstanding. I loved them with crazy Dave. Sure miss Eddie. But he's gone but never ever forgotten.
Hard to believe.
Sometimes feels like a lie.
F'king this one hits hard. Another chunk of youth & heart gone 😓😭 He was one of greats & the best 🎸🔥 RIP Eddie Van Halen 🖤🥀🎵🎸
Yes, tough loss.
This time brother big time you hit the nail on the head my friend f******* hits hard
Yeah well put this one hits real hard
Truth.....grew up starting w VH1.Been bummed since i heard.Watching vids all week.....sad.
Another chunk of youth and heart gone I really feel that statement well put thank you for that
King Edward cannot die! His spirit and one of a kind talent lives on through his incredible music! You truly are the King!!!
The absolute BEST. The Hagar fans don't get it. Who cares who can sing at a higher register, blah blah. DLR was a complete original, with both scream and swagger , When it comes to Rock And Roll, this is the definition of Cool Attitude, period. Rock On !
From this.... to that's what dreams are made of...Man was I bummed when Roth split. Tube...check out the spot on match, note for note, the new Eddie VH... ruclips.net/video/FFcaAhfKveA/видео.html
Well said man
Hagar made Van Halen into Journey 2.0 . It's more pop than rock .
Yea, saw VH in the early 80s with Dave! I like Sammy but Dave is VH....!!!
RIP Eddie ...saw you on this Tour Cincy '81. BEST ALBUM!
I saw the same tour Chicago '81 18 years old and stoned to the bone!! RIP Edward
Definitely best album I agree
@@MrMajikman1, musta put a new crease in your brain!
EVH inspired me to play music. 316 was the first song I learned on guitar. His influence and knowing his dad was a Jazz musician lead me down the rabbit hole to discover Jazz, R&B, Funk, and appreciate Country(finish what you started). RIP 🙏. I thank God for the gift to humanity your life was.
Love me some Van Hagar but THIS is Van Halen.
Van Halen sang f*ck songs and Van Hagar sang love songs
Profound statement
👍 Even years later, when Sammy was in the band and they let David come in again for however many songs, they came up with Me Wise Magic! Harder than ANY VanHagar tune!
I can’t stand DLR! Liked Sammy better! RIP Eddie!
Two different bands as far as I’m concerned.
Both rocked, but it doesn’t get any better than this!
i,m still blown away by there tenacious playing unity of the band and Gr8t music i was a kid during these great tymes of music and yes they are apart of that foundation work that,s known as Rock fundamentals... thank you Eddie,Anthony,David
That's a Jim Dandy! When their debut came out in 1978 I was 19 years old and would carry that album (which I still own) around in my car to parties and tell everyone, "you gotta hear this!" That album really turned rock-n-roll on its ear!
Agreed, and I'm 59. In Jr H/S that's ALL you heard in the hallways on boomboxes between classes. Saw them in '79 in a small venue in Boulder CO, and they RAWKED!
@@kx8960 I bet that was a good show! My first time was at the Texxas Jam in '78 along with 100K other maniacs in the Cotton Bowl! They should have called it the Hotter'n Hell Jam! Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, Eddie Money, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Head East, Journey, Heart. VH played at like 11 a.m. and it was a looong day! Cheech and Chong was the closer!! Oh, and tickets were $12.50 and we thought that was exorbitant!
@@madmax8949 Nice! I still have my VH hat from the show, it's a tad worn now as you'd expect. I paid $20 for the US Festival ticket (have the stub). Have a t-shirt from it in mint condition, wonder what it's worth... Oh, and way back in '81 my friends mom sold me her genuine Woodstock program (she went and there were 2 printings, one from the actual concert, and one done after, I have the real/first one). Cool bit of memorabilia. It's not in mint condition, it's obvious it got at least a little wet, but considering, it's still in great shape...and I've looked in all the vintage record/poster and book stores and have never seen another in the flesh. Rock on!
I was 10 years old, you remind me of my big brother back then, riding in his van on the way to one of his friends house for a pool party, we got there and his friend Terry said the same thing and put on fair warning " mean street"...man those were the best of times!!!
How time flies 😭, I'm now 56!
the best guitarist in history playing the best rock guitar song of all time... r.i.p. brother.
Besides Larry Carlton and 37 else and the new one mancuso
There are 35 else in other style than just this
Great song, but nah, Satriani's better, seen them both, in fact, seen almost ALL of the known guitar players over 4+ decades of seeing live shows.
There would be no satriani without ed. Ive known joe since 1988. I love his music and his style but he and vai are only doing what ed’s already done… he will tell u his self that ed was the one who started the whole aggressive guitar era. Everybody knows ed is the greatest guitarist of the 19th century.
@@salski70 There would be no Eddie without Jeff Beck and especially Jimmy Page. Having seen both Eddie and Joe several times, Joe's got technical skills Eddie doesn't. Besides, Eddie didn't "come before Joe", Joe is only a year younger. They played in the same era, Joe just didn't get FAMOUS as soon as Eddie did.
Just the best and most innovative guitarist ever known to mankind.....nobody will ever have the impact he did.
I share same birthday as Diamond Dave. He has 14 years on me. What a showman and what can you say about Eddie and the other guys. Old school from 1981!
The Wireless technology in 1981 was amazing.
lol...absolutely not performed live as it was performed.
Long live VAN HALEN.😊
So many greats but this is definitely one of the greatest
I love ❤️ 🎉this song ❤️ 🎵 💕 it's criminally underrated most definitely 🎉🎉. Eddie you brought some special to the music 🎶 🎵 world 🌎. Your style and stage presence is amazing 🎉🎉. The world will also miss your beautiful smile 🎉🎉. RIP,Eddie you are truly missed ❤️ ♥️ 💜, you are jammin up in heaven now ❤️ 💙 💜
Dam...RIP Eddie Van Halen. Thanks for the many memories with your awesome guitar riffs. Rock and Roll heaven gained another angel. Happy trails till we meet again.
2 of the absolute greatest guitarists of all time gone, EVH and Dime. Talk about a gut punch? Shit still hurts to this day. Rest in peace my brothers, you are missed big time!!!
OMG!! I never knew this existed! 1981! Love this song. Eddie, RIP, played incredible mind blowing guitar on this and the entire album. This video takes me back. I was 13. It wasn't their fault the video was so incredibly cheesy. They were still the most awesome band on the planet. My cousin was the first one to show me this VH album. And again, as Eddie always did, I heard the intro to Mean Street and I was completely mind blown. I've always loved how he ended the intro with that fade of feedback with the reverb. Eddie was awesome. He lives on in the music and in our hearts. RIP King Edward.
Thats not reverb, thats chorus and a phaser.
My favorite song by Van Halen!
One of my favorite tunes from VH but,...
I can't help but see Dr. Rockzo whenever I see Diamond Dave
and just start cracking up...
one of the best songs from Van Halen RIP Eddy
Best live performance ever, sounds just like the record!
🤣🤣
Ya think?
Lmao
This got me through high school 78-81...God what a rush it was👍👍👍
DESDE BARCELONA.SPAIN.
UNA DE LAS MEJORES CANCIONES. QUE TIENE MUCHAS.
SU DISCOGRAFIA ES LA BIBLIA DEL HARD ROCK. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸RIP. EDDIE VAN HALEN.
Eddie was such a great guitarist he could play rhythm and lead at the same time in the outro.
No he couldn't. That's an overdub.
Lol this is just a video played over the studio recording it's not live.
On a TV show, lip syncing; no surprise.
no shit, it says "subbed audio" in the video.
thank you captain obvious
@@Zero_thehero Well Cunterella the title reads "live" evidently you're not a strong reader.
@@TERRENCEJJR thank you again captain obvious
Dude, that was beyond sick. Your chops are off the charts. Incredible! 🤘🤘
One of my fav VH tunes, so bluesy, funky, awesome beat and riffs
Underrated album .... very progressive 👌
Progessivelly Progressive; if ya wanna get Progressive about it.🧐🧐
He was the Jimi Hendrix of my generation I'm 60 years old seen them in 1978 at Winterland in San Francisco for the first time🎸🎤👍
My Favorite Band & The Greatest Band Of All Time with the G.O.A.T. EVH
This has to be in my opinion, the best VanHalen song of all time! LOVE MY VH.
THIS SONG BLOWS ME AWAY
.😊
Van Halen The most ultimate Rock Band of all time R.I.P EVH
What a great start to a fantastic song.
Their best song from their best album
I don’t care who you are, even if you’re a successful professional artist, I’m looking at you, Hip Hop people among others, this is how it’s done, period.
These guys are another perfect storm band like all the rest of the best. You listen to their music and think, how the hell did this happen? How did these guys even Find each other? That question pops up with all the great Rock bands. Explain YES, Explain RUSH, Explain LED ZEPPELIN. You get the point. I’m glad the Classic bands are getting new appreciation from the younger generations. People, outside of us, are getting it. Getting the high quality of it. Recognising it for what it is. We knew it all along.
When VH debuted during the disco horror it's hard to explain the effect it had on us rockers. While Boston was kicking it up most of our rock heroes were getting burned out. Uncle Ted was carrying the weight for true rockers and then VH came. TGFVH. I guess the closest modern comparison would be Nirvana but they didn't have Eddie. Thanks, Eddie for giving us true pleasure as kids and into adulthood.
I get what you're saying, and there's no bigger VH fan than me, but don't tell me you didn't like the soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever.
Well, one silver lining is that Eddie passed away at a time when many of us needed to be reintroduced to this band of goofy, outrageous, mischievous, partying rascals. Personally, I needed a boost of out-and-out fun. So sad that he's passed, but it really did come at a time when people needed this burst of Van Halen.
Rest in peace, Eddie. You will always be a god among guitarists.
You know, your right. I feel really lucky to have grown up in that era .hope the kids today can find something to make them feel the same
@@blainebattams4648 I think often nowadays of just how lucky we really were. My son is 19, and I feel like his social world sucks compared to what I had. All the rock concerts all the time, for one thing. Talk about therapy and sense of community and just goddamn all-out fun; that's sorely missing for many young people today. But hey, they find ways to have fun; it's just a little harder than it was for us, I think haha.
RIP Eddie. Wonder how many times I hit rewind on my cassette player to this song.
At least 152 times 😜
This has got to be one of the top 10 songs ever made
So cool!!! Classic Van Halen!!!
Screaming guitar and commanding vocals they were the kings
EDDIE and the boys! This is about as badass VAN HALEN gets! Saw the tour and 1984 , also have both albums.
Always loved this tune... IT ROCKS!!!
That's me favorite album all great songs. RIP eddy
By far my favorite VH album!
I saw VH in '79 when they first started to make it big, in a small venue (CU Balch Field House) in Boulder CO. Back then they had recorded their second and part of the 3rd album if I remember, but had only released the first one. They were raw, primal, EXACTLY what was needed to usher in the '80's. Sadly the next time I saw them was at the US Festival in '83, and DLR was so f@cking drunk and they were finally able to sober him up so late that when they FINALLY took the stage in what SHOULD have been their biggest and best gig ever, one that made them legends, half the people had already left Glen Helen. Then DLR stumbled around so drunk he forgot half the words to all their songs. He even SAID that in one of the vids from the event. Eddie and Co. did their part in trying to compensate, but you could tell they were PISSED, and fired DLR shortly after. Too bad, because if they'd managed to curb DLR's drinking and stay together, it would have been epic. LOVE Sammy by himself, and when he joined we were all stoked at what the collaboration would bring....aaaannnd it turned into pop-rock, and we all pretty much ignored it and called it Van Hagar. Bummer, like Black Sabbath breaking up with Dio. THAT, was the worst one, those 3 (including Dehumanizer) albums they did were EPIC!
Totally badass and a great song from their best album
Breaks my heart! Such an amazingly talented man. One of my all time favorites! Thanks Eddie for the awesome memories you left us with. God got another angel 😇 and left a whole in our hearts.
Best album, Mean Street the Best Song. Fair Warning Along with Diver Down made VH fame in the 80´s
How did I never see this video? One of Ed's finest guitar parts.
It’s from European tv show. It’s been available on the bootleg circuit for years, but never officially been released by VH
Everyone in Van Halen was a super bad ass !!!
Eddie king of "tapping" my heart throb for the 80s my entire bedroom was plastered with him... I got your M&Ms my man ....
...
The Roth years were the best years, all four at the top of their game.
I'm torn between Fair Warning and Van Halen as the best Van Halen album ever. Certainly the bass Mike plays on Fair Warning is the most interesting bass parts of the studio catalog. He deserves credit as a top tier bassist and rarely gets it. His background vocals get most of the attention, but he's a jack of all trades. Songs like Running with the Devil, Eruption, Little Dreamer, On Fire and Atomic Punk elevate the first album to near metal, but Mean Streets, Sinners Swing, Dirty Movies and One Foot Out the Door swing like sledgehammers too. Can I like both albums equally?
I think Van Halen II is their best
You can like them both equally. I give the nod to Fair Warning as my favorite VH record with VHI a close second.
@@shewolfcub3 Absolutely!!! Love the first 4 Van Halen albums almost equally. But Van Halen 2 is the Shit!!!
Yeah the way the bass & drums drive this song is pretty fuckin cool
VH1 and Fair Warning top two no doubt…
My favorite Van Halen tune
Saw VH in 1982 and it was the best live show I have ever seen.
Man , they were all so young and full of life!
Que polenta tenía está banda, David una vos total,como otras👏👏👏
their best song
this is the best album van halen made...it totally kicked ass...every song on it rocked...dirty movies,push come to shove,,every fucking song kicked balls....everything was garbage after this..maybe not garbage but this was their high point..they never made another " fair warning" or anything closely resembling it after...women and children first and 1984 (yechh) were no comparison...🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼
Clearly the album version played over their performance, but still this is one of my top 5 VH tunes all time.. That GROOVE !!!
These guys were my 80's, seen them everytime they came to Providence
Ed's not dead....He's running a Taco stand down in Argentina.
Hahaha
I don't blame him. God Speed EVH.
They have a Two burritos and a root beer float special on Friday!
He cooks them by putting them in front of his amp.
Nice
No one could touch Eddie then and now. The greatest rock guitar player in history. Innovator, genius, great guy. Looking forward to seeing him in heaven.
One of their best.
Rock N Roll isn't as terrific as it was when Van Halen ruled the world...
Whoa. That opening gave me chills.
You've gotta be somethin else to come up w/ that intro.
I’ve listened to the studio song, so many times! This is an exact match! Which means, they are not playing this!
Everyone there looks like they're dressed for the mean streets. 😆
LOL!!
Looks like thier dressed like the Karate Kid
