    Being a vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist myself and playing in bands from back in the 80's and 90's I do remember hearing his solo eruption for the first time along with some other guitar player friends of mine and we all thought the same thing; "What the heck is he doing?" The only people I knew that did know what he was doing was two of my musician friends, which one was a guitar player, who had studied jazz and classical guitar and another musician friend of mine who could also play guitar but went to college on a bass guitar scholarship. They were the only two musicians out of everybody I knew, who knew how he was doing some of these things. And then I have guitar friends who eventually went to see Van Halen in concert and saw it for themselves. Their first tour was as the opening band for Black Sabbath. Also, if you want to actually see how Eddie is doing the guitar work for the beginning of this song, then you watch his video where he's doing his live guitar solo, and he does this in part the solo. You'll recognize it as soon as you hear it. And there is also a live video to this song that you can watch too. Cool reaction.

    The "secret" to this era van halen sound is that rhythm parts are single layer guitar only, no doubling (which the vast majority other bands do) , gives it that characteristic rawness.

    Hey, young brother...a bit of trivia for ya: the instrumental breakdown right before Ed's solo was originally the break in their tune "She's the Woman." You can still hear it if you look up VH demos...super cool stuff!

    That "Dance, baby!" bridge is as funky as rock and roll gets. Check VH's "D.O.A." for an equally badass riff. I always think of Mean Street as a "hidden gem," since it never got much airplay. I seek out reactions to it to witness dudes like u getting gobsmacked by it, lol.

    Fair Warning is my favorite album of all time. This is my favorite track on the album. The whole album is badass, not a bad one on it. This would’ve been the greatest time ever to be a teenager. I was 10 years old when this came out and I was 16 before I got the album. Great reaction man,I’m glad you’re getting to know “The Mighty Van Halen!”

    Van Halen had SWAGGER. It was effortless. Rare were the bands that possessed it as well. Aerosmith comes in close. Nothing like it since. Today's rock bands look and sound like library science majors. RIP Eddie.
