Their most underrated song imo. Great choice!
I agree... You hear in this song the direction Eddie wanted to take the music.... It sounds like Van Hagar BEFORE Van Hagar....
This happens to be my favorite Van Halen song.
@@2869may - Yeah, I always blamed the great Sammy Hagar for the demise of VH... Sorry Sam, Eddie was already selling out. One of the top rock guitarists in history, and he's faking his way through some basic 1980's keyboards. Makes perfect sense to me. 😉
@@_Common_Logic_ Come on man... they just grew up... Van Hagar made some great music, weather you like it or not... Numbers don't lie... I was HARD rocker myself DIO was one of my fav's. Old VH was GREAT
"Drop Dead Legs", "Everybody Wants Some", And The Cradle Will Rock".....
But some new VH was good too..
@@2869may - Listen to the arrangements in songs like Everybody Wants Some, The Cradle Will Rock, Mean Street, etc., and then listen to the keys, bass and DRUMMING on the bubblegum, Talylor Swift love songs VH regurgitated when they "grew up". "Is this Love?" WTH?😄
Music went mindless, fun, and "easy" to listen to in the late '80s, never recovering from the MTV effect. Not always bad, but it is what it is. Van Halen and bands like ZZ Top who's "top sellers" were arguably backed by a drum machine followed the trend.
I'm Not blaming the 'logical' business decisions, but I'm also not letting the sonic results slide. Even fun songs in "jest" like "Ice Cream Man" back in the day had more flair and technicality then MOST of the later releases. Some of the better songs allowed to sneek through in the later years were actually written by Eddie Pre-1983.
As record sales are concerned, you can't use the number with any real accuracy. Sales coincidentally SKYROCKETED across the industry in the the late 80's and continued to rise at unprecedented levels until the mid 90's when CD prices had hit 20 bucks and people had the ability to record them with NO loss of quality...
The internet put the nail in the coffin, as most sales figures are figured by DOLLARS and not numbers. Game over. Due to this, the spike in music sales across the board coincidentally mirrored Hagar's years with VH. EVERYONE had a chance at their "best selling album" coming out in those years.
5150 sold 11 million units (by most accounts) Britney Spears slung 20 million copies of "Oops! I Did It Again". VH was following a demographic. The money. FEMALES had also, for the first time ever started buying more music than men.
The funny thing is that Oops I did it again was more "edgy" than a number of VH songs of the time. Hahaha.
More proof of sales not being a good measure... Johnny Cash enjoyed his HIGHEST (by far) grossing album in 2003. That was AFTER he died with no new material. ;-)
As for anything and anyone POST Hagar, no-one cared... Those sales (despite streaming) would never reach the Hagar or DLR days. They could have returned to the roots, but losing Anthony's harmonies and putting up with the unqualified nepotism (being Eddie's son fumbling his way through the catalog) was "jumping the shark".
We understood the youth of the band and the trash talking of Eddie vs DLR, as BOTH were insane in their own right... But when they threw M.A. under the bus AND publicly trashed him, most had either given up on the brother's nonsense, or just focused on the VH they had grown up with.
They SHOULD have taken a lesson from AC/DC. It can be done. I still love classic rock, but I'm a (weekend) jazz musician. I understand "growing up" (getting old). I'm just looking from a musical standpoint. I would have welcomed a "refined" VH as I matured, but I just was NOT impressed.
My laptop is out of ink... I'm done. 🙂
Alex's drumming and Eddies Keyboarding stands out so phenomenally in this song and David Lee Roths Vocals, Come on Forget about it, such a great banger from the 80s.
Probably not popular opinion, but this is my favorite song by them.❤❤❤❤ synthtastic
As a true Van Halen fanatic, I totally hear you! It has such a unique feel, and unstoppable energy. The drum sounds are truly a gift from god!
I like it pretty well... Maybe not my "fav" but it's up there.
@@choppingpenguin You hear in this song the direction Eddie wanted to take the music.... It sounds like Van Hagar BEFORE Van Hagar....
Not unpopular, it's my favorite VH song!
Agreed
What stellar vocals from the one and only, David Lee Roth!💯
Yeah he was an excellent frontman. I never got into the Hagar thing. They lost their wildness
They became the best band ever with Sammy.
Dave was not a contributor, just a distraction. Van Hagar was relevant for another decade after DLR hit the road. DLR did an album of covers to keep himself on Mtv….
@@GNXXRAY Dave was a major contributor to Van Halen. He was the lyricist plus the front man. Sammy Hagar was good also. The band had two different phases with the same guitarist, bassist and drummer, that's all. Plus DLR came up with the name Van Halen!
Diamond Dave !
Van Hagar sucked.. it was the downfall of a great band.. They would have been better off finding a Filipino clone like Journey did …
The drum sound was awesome on this whole album, not to mention the brilliance of Alex Van Halen's playing!
To this day, I am still blown away by the drum production on this record. It sounds unfuckingbelievably good!!!
@@choppingpenguin Absolutely! I know Alex used rototoms but that snare is a real killer!
@@choppingpenguin I'm blown away that Jay and Amber don't know Alex is a Van Halen. Amazing.
@@allenwhitmer8192 Right, I don't believe they've ever made that acknowledgment.
@@magneto7930 Nope, the last one they did before this one, they said they didn't know the drummers name.
Drum work on this song is a pleasure to behold. A super tune from VH off of an amazing album. Alex holds the whole band together with that powerful beat and drive.
Alex was always the decision maker and leader of the band in the background. Kind of scary considering the band was so worried about his drinking they tried to send him to rehab.
This song shows just how incredible Van Halen’s “rhythm section” was!!!!!!
This song still has meaning today. This generation isn’t into magazines anymore but insta models, only fans, few lyric changes and you’ve got a meaning full cover that will work today.
Love this song. This and Little Guitars are easily the 2 most underrated Van Halen songs imo.
Both the intro and the song! Y'all will love it! It shows a deeper side of EVH's musicality and elegant technique.
Tom macdonald
Little Guitars, I like that song, both parts together especially. I recently realized there's no guitar solo on Dance The Night Away. Just the harmonic thing. So I wonder why there would be a VH song without a solo
I play guitar but mostly just Neil Young level. But those old timey VH songs. Could This Be Magic! I would burst with pride if I could play and sing that lol sooo good
@@mattjohn4731 That one was designed for radio release, a safe drive down the middle.
Believe it or not, the lyrics were actually penned by David Lee Roth and Michael McDonald! Owe it to producer Ted Templeman to get those two together for a composition. The second single released from 1984, yet the only one with no video to accompany the song. Highly underrated track.
It was the last single..I believe it went Jump, Hot For Teacher, Panama, I'll Wait....no video because by the time I'll Wait was released the album pretty much sold all it was going to sell because it was released near the end of the run of singles..I guess they weighed the financial benefits of a 4th video and were like "nah....the additional albums it would sell wouldnt cover the cost of the video" (of course im just guessing of the reason...I wish they would have made a video....black and white, Dave in a smoky room, laying in bed, by himself with magazine pics of the girl on his walls..the pics in color...etc..etc. A really stalker-ish vibe to it.)
Love the Ted Templeman shout out. Hell yea.
I read they didn't originally give Michael McDonald credit for his collaboration into writing this song and they eventually corrected that....as they should have
It was the second single after Jump. Panama was the third. McDonald only assisted Dave with the chorus.
@@padfolio true, yet due credit was held back for him because the band didn't want to be seen as 'sellouts' due to having him assist Dave in the writing. All in all, turned out great.
RIP Eddie...!!!!!! VH will always tops when rock & roll is the conversation.
Alex just crushed this. He's front and center..loud and strong. My fave drummer!
Alex used the same transition fill too many times in this particular tune, for my taste, but... Yeah, he is one of the greats. The way he stops and starts a groove whilst KEEPING the groove? It's his signature talent. Supercool and super influential.
Alright my babies....I see that the both of you are really feeling this one. When your wailin' the Van Halen, you're giving the people what they want ‼️🔥💯🔥🎼🎶🎸🥁🎤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
1984 - my high school freshman year. This was the most anticipated album that year and it didn’t disappoint. Every song is great.
The first album I ever bought was Van Halen's debut. Every song on it is a classic. Still my favorite band.
Skipped out of school for the concert that tour. It was in April of 1984 at Cobo Hall in Detroit. That show was one of best concerts I've been to. Autograph was the opening act. Within 20 minutes they were booed off the stage.
Yes!! Takes me right back to 1984, cruising in my first car at 16 just blasting this out of the 6x9s in the rear deck…
They really shine in the chorus with everyone’s voices! Great song, good reaction!!!!
Wife here..Van Halen is always Rocking..Love This is one of my personal favorites!!
Learning drums in the '80s, this song was a huge inspiration to me. I charted it out in sheet music and learned to play it. When you learn a part like that, it's just like knowing the lyrics of a song. I know every beat, even though I hadn't heard it in a while.
One of my all time favorites. Eddie's keyboard work is awesome. And that guitar solo is killer, Eddie's timing and rymth was unbelievable.
RIP Eddie
One of my favorite Van Halen songs! They rock 😅
My favorite song from that album.
This is a little different for Van Halen, but I always loved this song. It showcases Eddie’s keyboard talents and it still has that Van Halen sound. Classic.
So sorry we lost Eddie Van Halen too soon 🥲...his music will live on 4ever!
Love that signature Snare.
OMG, 1 of my FAVES!!
Love this song! This whole album is fire. Not a bad song on it. Top Jimmy is another lesser known song that is a real banger, especially Eddie’s guitar solo
this album came out when i was graduating. it was massive.
And drop dead legs
My all time favorite Van Halen song. Reminds me of my crush Linda Garcia in my younger days.
1987 was my wife (girlfriend at the time) and my 1st "song." I was a sophomore and her a freshman in HS. Here we are going on 36 years together (32 married) and both teachers! 3 songs captured our time from dating to marriage. In order: I'll Wait (VH), Thank You (Zeppelin) and at our wedding Open Arms (Journey).
This was the second single off of "1984", released in 1984 (duh) that (I think) was their biggest album of all time. It spawned "Jump", their only #1 hit, as well as "Panama", which also hit the Top 40. The fourth single off the album was "Hot For Teacher", which.... great song, but I'd recommend the lyric video (as parents, you might find the actual video a little too edgy). And this is your 14th Van Halen reaction. though if you want to get technical, it's your 10th with DL Roth as the lead singer (the other four were Sammy).
The album was slated to be number #1 on the charts by the end of a certain week in 1984.....and that certain week was the weekof the MJ infamous pepsi commerical/hair on fire incident happened and it gave a sudden 11th hour sales surge to his Thriller album and knocked VH's "1984" out of what would have been the #1 album in the country position. (Source: Michael Anthony revealed this while being interviewed by Howard Stern)
I bought a drum set as kid specifically for this song!!👍👍
Nice. I did too. Great knowing there's other people out there who have love for the drums. After a year I finally did learn this song.
I knew a kid when I was in school who loved the keyboard part from this song. He'd play it any time he had access to a piano. :)
"And The Cradle Will Rock"
"Finish What You Started" (Van Hagar)
"Finish" has a really cool syncopated guitar lick...I just can't replicate it.
Whoa!!! I love this tune and haven't heard it in years. Thanks for playing it. Brought back such great memories. Too bad it's not one of their more popular songs.
I would cruise on a summer Friday night downtown with the sunroom off windows down and Crank'in this whole album......I still can smell the sweet small town smells.
I can't believe we started listening to music so long ago and then movies and now back to my favorite band.
Thank you for entertaining me for so long
Van Halen is a very great band
That was a great single, and one of my favorites of theirs. Loved hearing it on the car radio as I was, um, I can't remember where I was going at the time but I remember the song! Priorities, yeah!
Underrated and underappreciated tune. Most bad ass synth and drums... Great VH
Hits me just right. One of my top favourite tunes. Great job ❤
Even my late mother, thanks to MTV only in her room, both she and I became VH fans. She liked VLR's acrobatics and showmanship!
VH is like a dream team. Both Dave and Sammy were great at singing, each bringing their own distinct sound. Eddie on guitar was the GOAT. Alex on drums always banging away. And Michael Anthony on bass (very underated) and the greatest backing vocals ever !!!
Alex van Halen is on fire w the drums!!!!!!
Love Van Halen!
After David Lee Roth left the ban he went on to a pretty successful solo career. Check out his song "Just a Gigolo".
His cover of California Girls is also awesome
With Michael McDonald on backing vocals. It went uncredited for decades until they issued their remastered version of the CD and album.
He only had a couple songs that got any radio time so no offense but imo I’d hardly call his solo career successful. They never should have parted. They lost some of the magic when they went their separate ways. It’s a shame many successful bands break up a good thing.
@@onionhead5780 I agree that he shouldn't have left Van Halen, but...
Just a gigolo, California girls, Just like living in paradise, and more...
I think that qualifies as "pretty successful".
Agree to disagree I guess.
@@onionhead5780 Diamond Dave had three platinum albums in a row plus a gold. He was more AOR than a poppy singles artist, though he had success in that area too, even a number 1 hit. Would I have preferred the band not losing him? Absolutely, but they had a great run and Dave's band was a supergroup.
One of my favorites. Hes killing those drums.
This was the first album I ever bought . I was 13 when this came out .
I’m down for any Van Halen! 🤘
Love Love Love Van Halen, another good one is "And the cradle will rock" ❤
1984. One of the best years ever. If you were a kid, a teenager, or in college. You had the best time of your life.
Next Van Halen to check out is When It's Love with Sammy Hagar on vocals
The song was written by band members Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth, along with Michael McDonald and produced by Ted Templeton. It was the second single released from the record and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite the song being a hit, no video was ever filmed for it. Roth’s inspiration was former super model, Christine Brinkley.
This song transports me back to my childhood everytime I hear it💙
Elton John “Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding” is epic. You really need to do the studio version.
Pretty good guitar on that song too!
@@RazorsEdge1810 Agreed. Davey Johnston rocks on that one.
Glad that you recognized Alex VH for his excellent drumming. I don't think you've done "Hot For Teacher," yet, but I's absolute fire and Alex just plays the heck out of the drums during the intro. "Everybody Wants Some," has another great AVH drum intro.
For those of you who don't know Michael McDonald (yes, THAT Michael McDonald) co-wrote the lyrics for this song. Now, Diamond Dave usually came up with great lyrics, but on this one he was stumped. DLR asked their Producer Ted Templeman if he could sit down with the (Templeman produced) Doobie Brothers songwriter Michael McDonald. Together they wrote the lyrics for "I'll Wait." Originally McDonald didn't receive a writing credit on the track, supposedly because the album sleeves had already been printed and "I'll Wait" was one of the last songs completed and the record company was rushing to get the album to market. There was a little legal wrangling after that and McDonald is now credited as a co-songwriter. When I read this in Ted Templeman's book, my mind was blown!
In the music video for Hot For Teacher Alex is so off with his dancing it’s so funny!! LOL
I still remember seeing Rob react to ACDC Thunderstruck for the first time on another channel and he was all skeptical, now Eddie Van Halen is melting his face lol
You guys are the first to play this that I know. Very popular radio hit that played over and over that year. Was a special time and place
My boss at my new job is a Van Halen fanatic, even named his first born Halen lol Needless to say, the music he plays all day is🔥🔥
It's so cool you chose this one. It was just playing my last shift & I was like "Omg, I almost forgot this one!" Hadn't heard it in a minute & all these great memories rushed back! Awesome choice❤✌️
Loved this since it was new. One of Roth's strongest vocals. Saw them do it live in 2012 and it sounded fantastic.
Best Eddie Van Halen playing the synthesizer. He's just as equally great on the piano as he is on the guitar
Hot For Teacher the music video should be your next choice. Great song and fun video
LOVE Van Halen! Always have, always will. Great choice and reaction.😊
I was a freshman in HS when this album was released. I listened to these guys all the time...and loved watching their videos on MTV.
I'm bobbing my head to this song which I'm so used to and I stop and think, you two are hearing this for the first time. Sooo cool. Other than Eddie's great guitar work is Alex's signature snare drum sound. So distinctively Van Halen!
Jay & Amber
Eddie is playing the keys on this song.
Yessssssssssss!!!!
Van Halen & sexy DLR ....perfect combination to rock out too!
🎸😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🎸
As usual Michael backing vocals and bass and Alex great drumming the driving force behind this song
A classic song from one of the best rock albums of all time. It is also in my humble opinion Van Halen's best album by a country mile. 👍❤
Brilliant song. One of my favourites.
You make our night. All the music varieties. So much Godgiven talent hidden away, now we hear it and I even remember the day I rushed home to unwrap the Doors, at a babysitting job😅. Had to support my insatiable passion of music. Thank you.
I love the ascending keyboards on this song " doo-doo doo-doo doah-doah doo-doo doo".
One of their greats, yet under-rated songs. Thanx so much, stay groovy, Peace
oh you just went there! iconic!
I love this song! You get a great headnod going with this one! I love air drumming this song!
Great iconic band
Van Halen/Van Hagar. There is NO denying the extraordinary talent this group had and the incredible musical skill of Eddie
I can remember back in 05 my mom bought my dad the 1984 cd, I was ten years old an yea top jimmy n panama were cool but this song just got glued to me. My dad used to have this on vinyl back in '84 and go figure this was his favorite song of the album.
Probably my favorite snare drum sound on any rock recording.
I have this on LP, Cassette, CD and on my iPod. Love this album.
The synth was piped through a guitar amp, added some distortion and mic'd it to get that Van Halen sound!
I knew you guys would love this song one my al time favorite songs ever and Alex Van Halen on the drums. I wish I could've took you 2 to one there concerts I took so many my friends to see them for there first time with they loved them but seeing them live and exsperince the feeling one there shows and of course eddies solo then the all knew what I was talking about and would rank there concert right up there with one there best shows.eddie on keyboards and David lee Roth classic and mike Anthony on bass the harominazing one my all time favorite band probably top 3 bands I have tied led Zeppelin and mettalica and Van Halen .this song so underrated yet its so awesome love this fn song
NICE! Love that album. "Little Guitars", with the intro, will rock you. Cheers!
Another great underated song is "Summer nights"
Agreed - summer nights is an awesome song!
This is one of their best and most well know Van Halen songs🙂 I love this song🙂
My very first album I ever bought. This was my favorite song from this album. Yes I like the other songs, but I liked songs that were not on the radio at the time.
Rob and Amber, you won’t see this but if you do, I’m a mid 50’s Black male whose favorite band is Van Halen, not even close! Starting in the 80’s, every time they came to St. Louis, I went to see them and it was almost like a religious experience. It is so awesome to see both of you not only appreciate VH’s greatness, but the nuance that each member contributed in their own unique way!
Keep going guys, love watching your reactions!
Jay and Amber:))) 😊😊
.... Alex Van Halen shines in this song with the
"fat drum" sounds... Shout out to their drum technician.... Eddie on keys & guitar..
I'd say Roth did very well on vocals/lyrics.
This was totally absolutely 80s. 🙂 1984, my junior year in high school. A lot of my friends who were Van Halen "purists" were not happy with the addition of the synth, but the new wave kids like me were pretty into it. This was probably my favorite song by them, I'd say.
It's my favorite VH song with Roth on vocals. I like a lot of them with Sammy Hagar as well.
Tom macdonald
My moms the same age as you wow lol
@@tylerhackner9731 I think I feel old now. Thanks. 😛
The Opening was Fantastic, and gave No idea to New Listeners what it would lead to! :) I'm thinking the low beat was Organ... maybe electronic, but Just a Guess. Van Halen an ALL TIME Fav... Thanks for the Reaction, Guys. Have a Great Week! :)
Van Halen The most ultimate Rock Band of all time R.I.P EVH
I love this song. Good pick.
C W McCall Convoy
This song came out in 1975. I was a teenager I just found it again. Hope you guys enjoy it.
My introduction to VH was this song. Heard it on a camping trip with the cub scouts. Still one of my favorites by them.
I'm 53 now, when I was 24 my father and I were eating at a hole in the wall breakfast Cafe in Salina Kansas in the middle of nowhere and long behold the table next to me was David Lee Roth and his bodyguard eating right next to us.
Probably my favorite song from this album. Very 80’s Jan Hammer vibe to the song.
Yes, those synths. Michael McDonald sang backing vocals on this. It went uncredited for decades until the VH catalog was remastered and reissued.
You hear in this song the direction Eddie wanted to take the music.... It sounds like Van Hagar BEFORE Van Hagar....
@@2869may And the beginning of the end with Roth.
@@clintonstapleton161 Right, as great as Dave was.... He was something else and still is...!
Did you see him on Joe Rogan? he's a trip!
Never grew up.
Heartbreak in overdrive!! One of their best albums and one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Wish I could turn back the clock and do it all again !!!!
This and Panama both (and both on this same album) are about falling in love with a girl in a magazine… with the implication that it’s a girlie magazine
This is one of the greatest rock albums as a whole ever made
Eddie played the keyboar😊on this song. Eddie was also an incredible piano player!! Just an amazing musician!!!
And never learned how to read music....all by ear and feel. Amazing.
So different from any of their previous stuff, a VH gem. Always gives me goose bumpage.
It's the snare and hi-hat that made this instantly recognizable as VH back in the day, when we were not use to hearing synth from them. So bright and in your face!
I love the send off "baby with a Steven Tyler scream ❤️*
Such a good album (1984, Jump, Panama, Hot For Teacher, etc) and such an iconic album cover!! I considered getting this album cover tattooed on me somewhere, but I decided to go with something else!
