Don't forget about Paul Gilbert, he used the electric drill on a commercial for Musicians Institute here is the link: ruclips.net/video/h375_VGUSGg/видео.html
I saw Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith. Nobody, no....BODY, comes close to touching what Van Halen were live back then. I've seen everybody, but nobody lifted you up off the ground like Van Halen did. The good vibes poured off the stage like a tidal wave. It was the sound and experience of pure joy.
Saw van halen many times in concert, With Dave and Sammy both. One hell of a performance from the whole band. Eddie was one of a kind, there will Never be another Eddie Van Halen! RIP Goat.
I ❤ Sammy Hagar as lead singer! Check out "Dreams" & "Why Can't This Be Love". His solo song "I Can't Drive 55" is such a huge part of pop culture. We've all said those words at some point since the song!
@@raymo6795 Did you read, I think it was last week, he tried to take credit for being the one to design Eddie's guitar into Frankenstein? Ray. I just can't even. A historian came out and chronicled a timeline of events to show he is a million percent not being truthful. 🙄 On the POSITIVE - do you remember the video for "Dreams"? It has the Blue Angels flying all over doing a show. Felt like all "Top Gun-ish". That's when I started my "I think I wanted to join the Navy & be a Blue Angel" phase. 🤣 Great song!
This is the 2nd singer Sammy Hagar a Damn good solo artist before he joined Van Halen when original singer David Lee Roth left for a solo career. Many Van Halen fans all over FB pages have split devotion from the Original VH to the Van Hagar(as it is called) years. Personally I was happy Sammy joined, so my fave band could continue. Yes, the orginal lineup with DLR is my fave(as my user name shows), but Hagar was perfect. He brought his legion of fans to VH if they weren't already VH fans. Dave did pretty good as a solo artist for his first 3 albums and you need to do some of his. Keep reacting. You 2 are the best!
..I could not have said it better...2 different bands excellent bands with a common nucleus(Eddie)...VH3 was also not a bad album...Also don't forget "DLR Band", featuring John#5. A lot of fun tracks that had a VH vibe...Let me sketch a quick family tree :VH 1, VH2, VH Women and Children First, VH Fair Warning, VH Diverdown, Then VH 1984, Then DLR "Crazy from the Heat",Then VH 5150...Then DLR "Eat em and Smile"..then VH 0U812 , then DLR "Skyscraper", then VH " For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", then DLR "Little Aint Enough", then VH'Balance", then DLR "Your Filthy Little Mouth", then VH 3...then DLR Band...whew! that is a ton of excellent music and musicians! Eddie, Alex ,Michael Anthony,Steve Vai, Jason Becker, John # 5, Billy Sheehan, Gregg Bissonette, Sammy Hagar , Gary Cherone...I cant name em all...now we have Wolfgang to keep it all alive in a different time and culture...but an incredible amount of fun and excellent music was made because Eddie, Alex and Dave got together back in 1974
People say do you like David Lee Roth or Sammy Haggar... my answer to that question is always, I prefer Eddie!!! He was always there, and made Van Halen, RIP EDDIE VAN HALEN!!!!
I like both. Diamond Dave had the energy and personality that was perfect for a young and upcoming band trying to conquer the world. Sammy was a better singer and writer and was perfect for a mature Van Halen that may have run out of steam had they continued with DLR.
Eddie had incredible natural talent and plenty of classical piano training to go with his innovation; in my view, Eddie's brilliance was always bolstered by his nigh-obsessive approach to practice. I've heard some unpublished studio tapes (the footage went up on RUclips, and you may be able to take a listen as well)...and the guy just...man, he just worked over riffs and riff ideas and scales the whole time. Apparently Eddie would do that for upwards of fourteen hours a day between album recordings and shows while in the 5150 studio. I once had the idea that I would try to play like Eddie. Once I found out about his practice habits, I knew I'd never be able to play like Eddie. I can't be that focused for that long for days and weeks and even months on end. This is also what separates Eddie from damn near every copycat: none of them would ever be able to put in the practice time Eddie did. Brad and Lex: Awesome to catch your reaction to this tune, and as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, I'd recommend Top of the World, Right Now, and Runaround. The music videos for Right Now and Runaround are good stuff, and the live version of Top of the World is perhaps the best song to end a show with.
My day just got totally better! Thank you for more Van Halen! RIP Eddie! Best time ever for Rock music! Nothing better than a Van Halen show. Love them, ALL VERSIONS!
The drill was cool, but how easily he transitioned from the drill to regular, well as regular as he got, guitar is what is amazing. Smooth! Thanks for sharing! You've helped me find my smile again!!
This was such a great time in music. What a great tour it was. Definitely check out Finish What Ya Started by them. Wether you drank or not, you were part of the party at a Van Halen show!
Hey! Brad actually LIKED that! I could see it all over his face! Smiled all the way through it! I was worried about Brad there for a minute! Lol He is starting to come around a bit! I love it. I love seeing this!
Great job on this reaction video! I was fortunate to see this tour live! Van Halen is just so much fun! You see it in Eddie's smile and the energy from the band! Love your channel, so glad I found you guys!
WVH went on tour this year. There is a video he did where he actually played all the instruments and sang. He inherited Mammoth from dad. He's his own thing but he'll get better, crap he's good now.
Yes your right girl. Just pure rock and roll is fun. No metal stuff but fun loving rock music. That's what rock and roll is all about, summer time electrifying fun. Cheers!
The concert to support this song was fantastic … one of their best. Was chased by the cops out of the Minneapolis parking lot - will never forget that!!
Went to all of those in the 80's. Concerts like this almost every weekend. Last Day On The Green I went to (5 bands, 8 or 9 hours of music) cost me $16. What a fun decade!
@@erichinterschied8174 It sure was. He left us way too soon. I also read the other day that Valerie Bertinelli split from her second husband after Eddie passed. I think she was still in love with him. I read she was by his bedside every day. I guess we don’t know if this is all true, but I always felt like they still loved each other. I wonder if VH will ever do anything ever again? I’m not even sure who VH is anymore. I know Alex is VH. Other than that, I couldn’t tell you.
@@aks4204 Alex is Van Halen and is all alone in that aspect. Mike Anthony is still in "The Circle" with Sammy Hagar. I love me some Van Halen but I feel that any type of reunion and/or new music would just be wrong without Eddie.
@@KaidenOrgana Yes we still have Alex & he is amazing on the drums. I’ve always felt bad for him. He never gets mentioned like the rest of the group, & he’s a VH. Eddie dying must have ripped his heart into tiny pieces. Eddie was his brother, his best friend, & one of the guys in the band. Now Sammy, I never really considered Sammy as a VH band member. I couldn’t get beyond Dave being gone. I always considered him as Van Hagar. That said, Sammy did a mighty fine job taking over for Dave. He also has a better voice, but just wasn’t Dave. Now, even if Dave had the chance to come back….. his voice now sounds like shit! I saw him on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” (I think. If not Fallon, it was Jimmy Kimmel). Man did he sound like shit! I don’t think he could do the job anymore. There is no way he could perform live. His voice is just shot. Maybe if he did studio work they could make his voice sound okay. Idk 🤷♀️ I can’t imagine them putting out more music, but not touring. That would truly suck. Then there’s Wolfie. That poor kid, I don’t even know if he would want to be a part of VH. I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to, but it may hurt too much for him to be a permanent member. Again, Idk 🤷♀️ He also is moving in his own direction & doing quite well. His album did great. He may want to do the solo thing from now on. Sadly I think VH may be done with. How sad is that! 😩 Well, this is just my opinion. Who knows what can happen. I would love to see them continue, but don’t know if it’s possible. Oh and Michael Anthony. He was amazing too. His bass & backup singing was amazing. I think he was just a big jerk for leaving the band. He would never have balls enough to do that without Sammy. I hope if VH carries on, they keep Wolfie & keep Michael Anthony out. Again, this is just my opinion and I’m sticking to it. LoL 😂 Now it’s your turn Kaiden. What do you think is going to happen? Mike Kean, what do you think?
If you want to see what a Van Halen concert was like, check out "Van Halen - Best of Both Worlds (OFFICIAL VIDEO)". There is a 9 minute version that shows you the crazy stuff they did on stage.
In this episode of Brad & Lex, The upbeat rhythm gives an understanding to both participants to this tempo seemingly simultaneously as Brad enjoys a choppy but satisfied "side to side sway" while Lex broadcasts a shoulder involved "rock bop".
Having said that they seem like polar opposites in that Lex is 110% ready to rock while Brad kind of walks around with his shit hanging at 6 o'clock saying "yeah, whateva" LMAO
Van Halen......wow...... incredibile performance.......this tour was incredibile.....i saw the band in Rome....(i'm Italian)....what a Great night....what a honor, listen king Eddie plays his Guitar......
So glad you like this incarnation of the mighty Van Halen although they are in another stratosphere from Bon Jovi in my estimation. The whole "Right Here, Right Now" live concert of which this vid. is a part is amazing. One seldom requested song from this concert (there was actually footage from 2 concerts in this vid.) is called "in and Out." Long Live the King, EVH, in our hearts and minds!
Brad & Lex, the record was titled For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. These guys always stuck to a theme :). This came out when I was in the 2nd grade... back when I was hot for teacher... Lol. No track off that record was dirtier than "Spanked" which my dad always skipped...
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is one of my favorite albums of all time, this was the first song. This had some of the best later VH songs IMO, and admitting I'm biased to Sammy's era. But still love all VH
Also, check out Daddy, brother, lover, little boy from Mr. Big. It's Paul Gilbert getting Billy Sheehan to join in on bass with the cordless drill too.
@@jomojojo6603 actually Racer X and Mr Big actually put a pick on the drill and used it for speed picking, whereas Eddie discovered the pickup getting interference/hum when the power drill was near the pickup, so it's just the drill noise being amplified, not actually touching the string like in the other case.
I went to see Van Halen in 2012. One of the greatest moments of my life. I remember that even after all these years, I had to walk 15 blocks just to get to the stadium. They shut down the entire highway around the stadium because of it. Amazing night.
Love this one and really enjoy your reactions. If you want to see, arguably one of Van Halen’s best live songs, check out the song “5150” from Van Halen Live Without a Net. I’ve been a Van Halen fan since the early 80s and I believe it to be their best, live, performance of any of the eras of the band. It’s probably one of the most high-energy displays in rock history. This is the best link I could find. ruclips.net/video/dYGYUhWgDyg/видео.html
I remember being a kid first learning to play guitar when I saw this performance. I immediately went out to the garage and got my dads power drill. His reaction was exactly the same as y'alls. It was the first time my dad was truly impressed with the sounds coming out of my room. Everyone else HATED it lol. The pickups in an electric guitar will amplify the sound of the drill, and if it's an already distorted signal it's even more gnarly. Brings back memories. Never found a use for it, though. The moment you try you're just reminding everyone that you're NOT Eddie Van Halen.
Van Halen is all about having fun !! Their music just puts me in a great mood whenever I hear it !!! keep those Van Halen reactions coming…try. “Beautiful Girls”, “Little Guitars with intro”, “The Dream is over” to name a few….
Van Halen was great live. They always had a party onstage and everyone in the audience was a part of party. You should check out a live video with David Lee Roth on vocals: So this is Love or Unchained. Classic VH from the 80s.
If you've checked out both the live and studio version of this song. And when Sammy belts out "and you take an average guy" he always references to Michael Anthony( the bass player). Just thought I would pass that along.
By this time Eddie was firmly set as a guitar god, every album he did something with guitar tone, technique, the amps, the guitar, tap harmonics in a melodic line. To would take him time to find those but he knew they were there. So when he came out drilling his guitar we all were like “😲… of course he did” Btw the song is about the singers wife of many years. Which is soooo sweet. Sammy Hagar sees like the most genuine fun loving guy. A stand out with amazing lyrics is Best of Both Worlds. Its so much fun. Its too much for me to think about Eddie’s passing. I have been a HUGE fan of him, from the first note I heard. It clicked with me. I have one of his signature guitars, learnd alot of his music. He and this band honestly changes the world, helped make the 80’s this amazing fun time to look back on.
RIP Eddie....such a talented guitarist.....one of a kind.
Will never be another like him. Hope he's rocking that great gig in the sky.
Rocking with the best... Neil peart on drums and Dimebag on back up guitar
@@frogmanwade oh s..t!!!
Van Halen music always uplifting and happy, never no sad songs
Jimmy Page: Im gonna use a violin bow on my guitar.
Eddie Van Halen: Hold my drill bits.
Lmao!😄
Fffffing....Hilarious
Don't forget about Paul Gilbert, he used the electric drill on a commercial for Musicians Institute here is the link:
ruclips.net/video/h375_VGUSGg/видео.html
a lot of times this performance was faked tho. obv it would ruin the strings sometimes. I believed Eddie did this in recording but live its too risky.
Best comment 🥇🎖🏆. Lmfao 🤣
I saw Van Halen, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith. Nobody, no....BODY, comes close to touching what Van Halen were live back then. I've seen everybody, but nobody lifted you up off the ground like Van Halen did. The good vibes poured off the stage like a tidal wave. It was the sound and experience of pure joy.
I guess we found out that Lex likes power tools, lol. Fun song guys, even Brad liked it!! We know Brad likes it organic.
Yeah that’s awesome! LoL 😂
Eddie is making impossible guitar techniques look easy. That smile is his charm.
Everyone else had a frown on their face before him
I saw VH in concert and they opened with this song . I enjoy your reactions. Best wishes to you both !!
Saw van halen many times in concert, With Dave and Sammy both. One hell of a performance from the whole band. Eddie was one of a kind, there will Never be another Eddie Van Halen! RIP Goat.

@@raymo6795 nice take on it and thanks for writing that. John 5 and Slipknot singer did a great Take your wisky home cover.
One of VH’s last commercial hits but probably my favorite.
YES!!!! Love all van Halen Sammy still very very entertaining! Still performing Live too!!!! Great show!
Brad & Lex: home-grown, down-home, always pure and authentic. This might be my favorite reaction from you guys.
Can we acknowledge the great bass playing by Mr. Micheal Anthony. All four albums with Sammy were stellar.
He just shreds the bass. And his back up vocals? Just spot on
The version from the 1991 VMAs rules too!
Edit: check out "Runaround" and "Right Now" from the "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" album
Top of the World is great too
That’s a great album up and down.
Van Halen & Motley Crue were always great shows!
I always think, the thing that made EVH's playing really special, in addition to his speed and technique, was his confidence and conviction
Eddie had incredible natural talent and plenty of classical piano training to go with his innovation; in my view, Eddie's brilliance was always bolstered by his nigh-obsessive approach to practice.

I’m with you Brad! I like it home-grown! 😂😂
The greatest band ever . The goat of modern rock and roll . The most influential guitarist since Jimmy Hendrix
Once you went to a Van Halen concert you wanted to go every time they came to your area!

He's his own thing but he'll get better, crap he's good now.
He IS good now.....good genes......the only thing he needs to do is stop worrying about what other people think.
I’ve been to four Van Halen concerts, including this tour, and they were ALWAYS a great time!
Yes your right girl. Just pure rock and roll is fun. No metal stuff but fun loving rock music. That's what rock and roll is all about, summer time electrifying fun. Cheers!
Love how Michael holds it down on the bass, so solid!!
I did go to see VanHalen several times, and they were fantastic.
So many incredible song videos on this live concert. Judgement Day, Runaround, This Dream is over, Top of the World. Killer!!!!
The concert to support this song was fantastic … one of their best. Was chased by the cops out of the Minneapolis parking lot - will never forget that!!
GREAT SONG! Saw Eddie do this more than once. He was such a great artist, kind and humble person. ❤️☮️
I was at this concert when they were filming it, was in ‘91 , filmed two shows in two day, sold out both days in Fresno California. . Was awesome. 🎸
Great song. Good times
Great reaction and do you hear that bass thumping geez Michael you are the heartbeat of van halen.
So underrated! He could sing and play
Real quick you guys, how sick is the baseline in this song! And of course Eddie's riffs, solo and that bridge breakdown are magic.
This might be one of my favorite reactions. I laughed so hard at the end. These two are hilarious and Lex is so f’ng cute!!
I agree with Brad with like them Poundcakes natural 🤣👌
The bass line in this song is incredible
Eddie was an amazing innovator when it came to the guitar and creating his own sounds! RIP Eddie
Such a great song, Mr. Hagar just great and Eddie man...speechless!! I love this song, one of my favourites!!
Went to all of those in the 80's. Concerts like this almost every weekend. Last Day On The Green I went to (5 bands, 8 or 9 hours of music) cost me $16. What a fun decade!

This dang band is incredible live! Listening to them makes me feel good!
I love a behind that looks like an upside down heart. I've seen Van Halen 3 times. '82, 84 and '86.
Got to see them in concert, incredible show and Sammie and Michael just love to perform. They are just incredible, RIP Eddie.
Van Halen......wow...... incredibile performance.......this tour was incredibile.....i saw the band in Rome....(i'm Italian)....what a Great night....what a honor, listen king Eddie plays his Guitar......
I saw five or six shows on this tour and the one after, every show was this good. What an era for this band.
Eddie was the Beethoven and Mozart of lead guitars.
Van Halen shows were always a blast. Great song choice.
What I like about Sammy is he makes singing look so easy and fun, and he’s always having a good time.
I was super lucky to get tickets to see "Van Hager" twice in the early to mid-90's. Some of the best shows for me of the era.....
I love you guys so much! It's always fun kicking it with you two! 👏❤

The pickups on a guitar are essentially microphones. My old band used to use a cell phone ringing through the pickups in a song.
Diamond Dave was the classic Rock frontman. Sammy was a true vocalist. Love both sides of VH! Rip Eddie 💔

I love Sammy, such a fun guy, and such a roar coming out of him on stage!
I get the home grown down home vibe , rock songs have a way of drawing you in with certain expressions with the right catch
Been one of my favorite VH songs since it came out.
Few things in life could beat going to a Van Halen concert with a really cool rocker chick.
You guys are so special, THANKS FOR BEING YOU!
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is one of my favorite albums of all time, this was the first song. This had some of the best later VH songs IMO, and admitting I'm biased to Sammy's era. But still love all VH
For a better representation of the drill sound do the studio version. Only Ed would think of something like that…Genius!!!
Don't you think he maybe got the idea for the drill from Paul Gilbert (Racer X) ?
Also, check out Daddy, brother, lover, little boy from Mr. Big. It's Paul Gilbert getting Billy Sheehan to join in on bass with the cordless drill too.
@@jomojojo6603 actually Racer X and Mr Big actually put a pick on the drill and used it for speed picking, whereas Eddie discovered the pickup getting interference/hum when the power drill was near the pickup, so it's just the drill noise being amplified, not actually touching the string like in the other case.
Yes, I know. that's why I said "got the idea" and I didn't say "ripped off"
@@joelhammond4162 here we go,,, wonder who thunk up a electric .?pickup
Lol....its great to see Lex rockin out. She knows what that Poundcakes all bout. Yall do the best reviews out there. Peace
Yay, Poundcake is one of my fav Van Halen songs
I went to see Van Halen in 2012. One of the greatest moments of my life. I remember that even after all these years, I had to walk 15 blocks just to get to the stadium. They shut down the entire highway around the stadium because of it. Amazing night.
The drill was a brief innovation in guitar in the early 90s. It happened a bit for 2-3 years. A band called Mr. Big had an Electric Drill Song.
8:45: "Ok Ok..." what more can I say? Love your reaction!
It doesn’t get old watching this video more than once Awesome guys 😉❤️🙏😉✌️
Ahh yes....., thanks Brad & Lex .....
my fav!! A lil VH is good for ya!!!
Love this one and really enjoy your reactions. If you want to see, arguably one of Van Halen’s best live songs, check out the song “5150” from Van Halen Live Without a Net. I’ve been a Van Halen fan since the early 80s and I believe it to be their best, live, performance of any of the eras of the band. It’s probably one of the most high-energy displays in rock history. This is the best link I could find. ruclips.net/video/dYGYUhWgDyg/видео.html
Great reaction guys, PLEASE keep the Van Halen coming. They were so influential and Eddie was like a god to us.
I remember being a kid first learning to play guitar when I saw this performance. I immediately went out to the garage and got my dads power drill. His reaction was exactly the same as y'alls. It was the first time my dad was truly impressed with the sounds coming out of my room. Everyone else HATED it lol. The pickups in an electric guitar will amplify the sound of the drill, and if it's an already distorted signal it's even more gnarly. Brings back memories. Never found a use for it, though. The moment you try you're just reminding everyone that you're NOT Eddie Van Halen.
Doing a drill against the pickup, AS A NOTE, in the middle of the solo. WOW.
Hello from Canada! Love your channel!
I love how Lex was bee-boppin and lovin this song! I thinks she likes her some Van Halen. Lol
Van Halen is all about having fun !! Their music just puts me in a great mood whenever I hear it !!! keep those Van Halen reactions coming…try. “Beautiful Girls”, “Little Guitars with intro”, “The Dream is over” to name a few….
I saw Van Halen twice in concert.... so good!
Van Halen was great live. They always had a party onstage and everyone in the audience was a part of party.
You should check out a live video with David Lee Roth on vocals: So this is Love or Unchained. Classic VH from the 80s.
Such a great reaction and analysis. You both are awesome. Keep up the good work:)
If you've checked out both the live and studio version of this song.
And when Sammy belts out "and you take an average guy" he always references to Michael Anthony( the bass player).
Just thought I would pass that along.
Nothing like a VH concent, its the best!!!! I really miss them and Eddie, they got me through my teens.
By this time Eddie was firmly set as a guitar god, every album he did something with guitar tone, technique, the amps, the guitar, tap harmonics in a melodic line. To would take him time to find those but he knew they were there. So when he came out drilling his guitar we all were like “😲… of course he did” Btw the song is about the singers wife of many years. Which is soooo sweet. Sammy Hagar sees like the most genuine fun loving guy. A stand out with amazing lyrics is Best of Both Worlds. Its so much fun.
Its too much for me to think about Eddie’s passing. I have been a HUGE fan of him, from the first note I heard. It clicked with me. I have one of his signature guitars, learnd alot of his music. He and this band honestly changes the world, helped make the 80’s this amazing fun time to look back on.
