@@katherined800 Well, there you go; should have been higher. That 15 second interval at the beginning between the bass kicking in and Sammy's first lyrics is rock 'n roll perfection
@@katherined800 Ha! Well, I talk a good game. And I've lived long enuff to see most of the history of rock n' roll. I'm so old .. Van Halen was the stuff my kid sisters were into
Yes Van Halen was an awesome band growing up. I don't care to hear peoples opinions about who was better Dave or Sammy. They both produced songs with the band to make songs each one of us know to make us feel like we are part of the band. Either singing with Dave or Sammy or playing air guitar thinking we were Eddie. We can't forget about Michael with his Jack daniels bass or Alex behind the drums. This band produced many songs we know by heart and reminds us the great times we had to experience Eddie Van Halen and his God giving talent. Thank you EVH
@@tfjack97 I would agree with one caveat. The album with Gary Chevrons was terrible, and not one song is memorable or has a good hook. That being said, I have heard one song in rough form they recorded with Gary that never made it to an official release and it is better than anything on Van Halen III. It would have been better if they had toured with Gary before recording an album.
I never really though about how great Alex is until more recent listening, but wow he's good. VH is so guitar/vocal centric, Alex's genius can get lost in the mix, but he's easily one of the all time best rock drummers.
@@perpetualchangeband that's not the way Alex said it in an interview. At first Alex was playing guitar and Ed had a paper route to save up for his drum kit. Alex then got interested when he saw Ed playing so Alex wld get on it when Ed wasn't around then suggested they switch instruments and Ed agreed. He never mentioned anything about Wipeout
No He is not even the best of his era. People forget Eruption was released just 7 years after Jimis death. Your comparison is like saying the model A Ford is the best car ever because it’s the first 1 you took a ride in. Jimis skill level is that of a 17 year old kid these days. Time has passed him by.
Let's be honest. The Sammy lead VH when clicking on all cylinders was UNTOUCHABLE. Eddie's guitar 🎸 Sammy vocal range. Mike's background and Alex just doin what Alex does....Nothing better!!
Van Halen is a great band. Both Dave - Sam are wonderful singers & song writers! The rest of the band are terrific! Eddie is missed and he was a great talent on the guitar 🎸
Remember when men were allowed to make songs about wanting women without being called chauvinists or creeps? I miss alpha male presence like this in today's music. Im so grateful to have grown up in the era I did were we can take a joke and appreciate simple things.
I was born in 94 and my dad was a huge Van Halen and Sammy Hagar fan, I grew up watching these videos on our big screen box tv air guitaring wishing I was Eddie.
Great great tune! I highly suggest reading Sammy's bio ,"RED". Great stuff. RIP Eddie, such a wonder, you will be in our hearts says the Rock n rollers!!! HEY 42 years and counting since we first saw ya!!!
@Sammy Hagar Foundation OMG you did not just respond to my reply I am beside myself you are the ultimate Red Rocker long before Van Halen you just made that rock group that much better I can't wait to taste your tequila
That’s so cool! I was still pretty young when this was released…definitely remember hearing it, but don’t remember seeing the video (we didn’t have MTV until I was much older). Wondered why he was playing this, thanks for explaining! 😀
It would be hilarious and great. Too bad they didn't do an "All Hands on Deck" tour featuring both Sam and Dave actually singing and contributing on each other's songs.
I didn't use my imagination at all. I simply took when that song was released and compared it to each of their respective birthdays. Though having been in my 40's when that song came out, I think I've got a pretty good idea of home men look at that age 😉
My favorite VH song of all time! Eddie's guitars, Sammy's incomparable singing, Mike Anthony's bass.... and of course Alex's drumming were all just at their peak! Utterly fantastic. I'm glad I was alive when this was first released. Never. Gets. Old!!
Did you know it is the only song that Eddie didn’t write alone? Sammy and Eddie wrote it together and even the lyrics are a true story. Sammy and Ed lived next door to each other and Sam was gettin it on with a lady upstairs and Eddie was throwing pebbles at his window. So Sam came down and Ed said he had this riff he wanted Sammy to hear even if it was 2am. 😂... They sat on the porch and Eddie played it then Sammy and him collaborated on it over the next 2 or 3 hours. Then Sam went to bed and his woman was too tired to pick up where he left off. True story! 😂❤️
@@metalqueen8765 Don’t know what you’re smoking, bro, but you higher than a freaking kite. Sammy wrote or co-wrote five of the best songs from 5150 alone: “Why Can’t This Be Love?”, “Best Of Both Worlds”, “Dreams”, “Love Walks In”, and “Summer Nights”.
I remember back in the day,l used this song to start my shift at the gentleman's club or for bachelor parties 😂 Van Halen has been in my life since conception 🫦....! 4:24
I had almost forgotten how cool Alex is. It was refreshing to see him behind his kit in this video because, normally, he was hidden behind his massive kit. Kind of like Nicko is for Iron Maiden.
Imagine one day you just turn on Tv and there is such ad 0:52 for a toothpaste or anything 😄 ❤❤❤ Of course with this lovely song I can listen to over and over again
I fucking miss the 80’s
😂
Well, you ain't alone. That's for sure.
Drums on this song is killer
Bass too! Mike we love you!
Just gettin my Van Halen fix for the day!
And Sammy is still rocking with Michael Anthony today.
💯❤️🙏 keep rocking Sammy
This song stands the test of time...and Sammy was at his HOTTEST here!!
One of the most underrated songs of all time...love Eddie's guitar on this song...
Underrated how? It was #2 on the Billboard Rock chart and #13 on the Billboard Rock 100.
100%

Agreed, no matter the line up it was a great band, and if you can't have a great time listening to this band you must be Dead.
A lot of Roth fans can't accept the fact that they found success with another singer.
Brian, I totally appreciate both eras.

Gets overlooked by many just not me.
Only Neil Peart was better than Alex.
@@xxxYYZxxxHe’s my favorite drummer
never seen with traditional grip (left hand)
No one ever talks about the spine tingling perfection of Mike and Eddie’s backing vocals. Harmonious bliss for the ears
True! Makes the whole sound richer.
Actually lots and lots of people do. It's been said so many times it no longer needs to be said.
Damn Exactly
I do!
Oh, we talk about it!!!!
We love and miss you Ed
Eddie didn't have to have the amps on fire to sound good
I'm incomplete...finish me please❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is often overlooked but to me one of their best regardless of era
Agreed
@@findJLF yep 🎶😉
Best song of the Hagar Era that I have heard.
Amen
Agreed
When Cool becomes the coolest song ever
fun fact, this was actually the theme song for the short-lived 90s sitcom "Sydney"(which starred Eddie's then-wife Valerie Bertinelli).
He has such a great smile
Kinda vague considering there's 4 "he's" 🤦♂️
What a masterpiece...One of the BEST rock anthems of all time. Period!
Alex doesn't get enough credit here. That drum beat is sick.
The band is named after him. How much credit does he need?
@@bman3020 pretty sure named after Edward's last name too.🤣
Eddie and Alex switched instruments because Ed couldn't play Wipeout, but Alex could!
Always thought that as well

There are songs that don’t get old, this is one.
fantastic video...great times
RIP Eddie, greatest rock guitarist ever.
... and a real cutie! I miss a lot of people from this era.
I wish Eddie van Halen was still alive too
Hendrix was the best period
No He is not even the best of his era. People forget Eruption was released just 7 years after Jimis death. Your comparison is like saying the model A Ford is the best car ever because it’s the first 1 you took a ride in. Jimis skill level is that of a 17 year old kid these days. Time has passed him by.
All the Guitarist are great within their own right! The list is endless!
One of my top Van Halen tunes. Rest in Piece Eddie
What a great music
Peace
Also, really diggin' Poundcake!
I use to be an adult entertainer 👠👠👠
And l used this song all the time,so much fun and memories, great tune guys 🎶❣️🎶❣️🎶💯❣️💯

Van Hagar Rules!!!!!
Van gina
I’m 73. Used to sing it with my brothers band. He had the guitar down to perfection. Even though I was a girl it brought the house down. What a song!
The girls carry this music as well with their sexy dance moves!
It's bad when a Woman Makes a Grown Man beg for it like this 😪 😩
Yeah. But I bet that turns some girls on 😎
Hello there, Good day to you and it's nice seeing you here
Eddie was so cute in this, long before the cancer ravaged him.
This is the coolest video
Thinking back its hard to believe at one time you could turn on a radio and hear masterpieces like this
Just heard it on The Rebel.....104.9
I will never forget the riff or the girls in the video 😬✌️💯
Ed = 🐐
Van Halen is a great band. Both Dave - Sam are wonderful singers & song writers! The rest of the band are terrific! Eddie is missed and he was a great talent on the guitar 🎸
I agree. Sammy has the vocals.
Hard to believe Ed was only about 33 years old here and Sammy was around 40......Awesome
One of my all time favorite VH songs. It’s like the guys got together and said “let’s jam”.
No drama, just jamming!!
Def my favorite!
Sammy's vocal on this is insane. A classic song.
legend
We’re about done here.
Remember when men were allowed to make songs about wanting women without being called chauvinists or creeps? I miss alpha male presence like this in today's music. Im so grateful to have grown up in the era I did were we can take a joke and appreciate simple things.
Baby pkase cone get me so we can be together
To much...PUSSYS NOWADAYS PEOPLE
Quite honestly, this reminds me of a man that meant a lot to me. I goes both ways!
Goddamn right.
Someone put the freaks in charge. That's over. The tide is turning because, ummm, they're freaks.
Van Hagar the best "HANDS DOWN"!!
Truly shows the diversity of this band. They could write and play ANY kind of music. RIP Eddie; my hero.
Hard to believe it's been a year ago today we lost Eddie
The gorgeous Sammy Hagar! Love this music. Still rockin today.
You said it! Sammy damn fine here.
We miss you ed...!.
I wouldn't kick Sammy out of my bed, my mama would've said! This song kicks ass even in 2022.
Eddie is so adorable in this video 🎶🎶🎶👠👠👠❣️
Come on baby!!!
This video was my first exposure to VH when it came out.
Happy 33rd Birthday OU812!
I was born in 94 and my dad was a huge Van Halen and Sammy Hagar fan, I grew up watching these videos on our big screen box tv air guitaring wishing I was Eddie.
Best old school rock and rollers ever don't forget it Van Halen in the Red Rocker you can't beat that on any given day
Thank you for your support always love the fellow Rock and roller who knows their jam
Totally. The best.
Great great tune! I highly suggest reading Sammy's bio ,"RED". Great stuff. RIP Eddie, such a wonder, you will be in our hearts says the Rock n rollers!!! HEY 42 years and counting since we first saw ya!!!

No cymbals other than hi hats, killer tune
I agree with everything said about this song and video plus the girls in this are big-time beautiful!!
I love this song! Rest in Peace Eddie Van Halen.
It's all about that "Baby come on, outro
I miss the 80’s.... Music today sucks
You got it Pontiac
80's were great for music. These guys the creme of rock and were some of the few that survived grunge and this is from the 90s❤
You may not be listening.
I have to agree
Omg you’re so right!! Music today is hot garbage!!
Precision drumming from Alex in this one...one of my fav VH songs...and videos too hehe
Magic !!!
I miss da 80 s so bad.😊
I love this video because Eddy is using the first Guitar that was ever bought for him
That’s so cool! I was still pretty young when this was released…definitely remember hearing it, but don’t remember seeing the video (we didn’t have MTV until I was much older). Wondered why he was playing this, thanks for explaining! 😀
Dave's singing of this would be comedic.
It would be hilarious and great.
Too bad they didn't do an "All Hands on Deck" tour featuring both Sam and Dave actually singing and contributing on each other's songs.
Like most of his song leads. His clown act got real tired real fast
This is the best Rock song of the 90's can't believe it doesn't have a million views or more
Great song
Sammy was 41 when this song came out, but you couldn't tell that here. He has always looked at least ten years younger than his age
Well hes 73 as of now, he sure dont look or sound like he is 63 hahahaha... that 10 years has to expand to more years
What a great music
I met him in person a couple yrs ago . Looks good for his age but TV and make-up definitely make him younger looking
I think you have a wrong imagination how men look with 40 or even 50...they all could be over 40 in that vid
I didn't use my imagination at all. I simply took when that song was released and compared it to each of their respective birthdays. Though having been in my 40's when that song came out, I think I've got a pretty good idea of home men look at that age 😉
I love this video
A classic! I grew up on this video!!
I dream about that alot my love 💓
Keep the Van Hagar alive❗
We lost Eddie way too soon ! One year to the day after Eddie passed my father also went home! Man i miss them both

THE BEST BAND IN THIS WORLD: VAN HALEN IS.
seems like it was yesterday... what a crazy world man
My cousin and I played this song 10 thousand times
Always the best dancing song ever ❤
RIP Eddie, one of the finest rock guitarists ever to play.
One of the best intro’s ever created. Simple but solid- and the video locks it down.

All a really cool drummer needs is a kick , snare and hat , . !!! Just ask Ringo , Buddy , Charlie or Bonham.
@@paulrichards6826 thay all had toms, which is more than a kick, and snare, and hats!
Great van Hagar song. I know some people don’t like this era but this song has to make you want to dance and party.
This is Rock n Roll music 🥁 🎶
No.
An epic moment in MTV history
Classic, makes me wanna .....
This was my band growing up! Never be another EVH. Thank you Sammy for all the great memories with VH🤘
Me too, and still is!🤘
Me too... and quiet riot
EVH was and always will be the king of rock and roll an the master of the account, Eddie Van Halen the legend will never die. R.I.P. Eddie.
Master of the guitar 🎸🎶🔊
Yessir. I actually regret to say I never went and saw them in person in the 2000's because i wanted this very lineup. Jokes on me.
In all of human history, I got to live thru the entire Van Halen era. That’s pretty cool. Beats building big pyramids out of rocks for sure.

Goddammit, still perfect. And still one of the sexiest videos they made. Some of the BEST smiles in rock.
