A few thoughts as I watched this... Fitting that it's released on the anniversary of Eddie's passing. All these years later and the message of the video is still relevant. People talk shit about the Hagar era of Van Halen, but this is easily one of the band's best songs in my opinion. I don't understand why anyone would choose not to enjoy either version of the band. I'm grateful for all of it.
It is about personal preferences. I was a budding teen when my uncle handed me his cassette collection and one among them was The Balance Album. It was my first Van Halen experience and it was an immediate love affair for me. The whole album came as a brutal melody leaving my evolving puberty in awe! Sammy Hagar, Mark Anthony and the Van Halen brothers were loved and still are. Running home from school to learn the songs in my Aiwa Walkman was my daily affair then. I am 40 now and the memory is still vivid. Rock in Paradise Eddie ✊🏼
На мой взгляд ребята из Ван Нален меняя состав чувствовали ,что это необходимо делать и двигаться вперед ,создавать новое и интересное. Именно это и стало залогом их необыкновенного успеха . А нам повезло.Сейчас таких творческих людей совсем мало.Вот поэтому -Ван Хален нравится людям разных поколений!
@@ВладимирКормильцев-д9ц Точно. С появлением Сэмми их звучание стало более популярным, но это также позволило Эдди исследовать новые направления как писателя и использовать свои таланты так, как работа с Дэйвом ограничивала его. Это не умаляет таланта Дэйва, но я никогда не пойму, почему некоторые люди не могут оценить то, что Сэмми привнес в группу.
Right Now Somebody Is Watch ing & Listening To This For The First Time. Right Now Somebody Is Watching & Listening To This After Many Years & Still Feels Like The First Time.
Like the post with Eddie holding the lil sign saying ,”I’ll always be with you just push play” Idk about anyone else but I like the original release better than the remastered editions… doesn’t seem like the guitar is as loud and prominent in the mix😢
Right Now your Parents miss you, Right now I miss my parents Love you both Mom and Dad RIP God bless you both. God Bless Eddie Van Halen we all miss him.
@@musashielmaldito6848 What's your point? I was "there" in 1978 when their first album dropped. However, my best and favorite isn't Van Halen....they're like 5th on my list. So yeah. Sorry you were born in the wrong and worst generation ever. You seem bitter, dude. Namaste
Just finished listening to another relevant song from Mike + the mechanics "silent runnings". Amazing how these songs addresses a lot of what's going on.
Powerful song, in many ways. My husband passed two months ago. My parents a few years back. Tomorrow is my first Thanksgiving alone. I can do this. I will do this. They would be proud. Love to all, Right Now we all need it ❤️
RIP Carolyn Beug(1952-9/11/01) Producer of this awesome music video. May she rest peacefully along with all of those on Flight 11 and everyone lost on that horrific day
This song by this band proves that rock is the greatest form of music, driving drums, scintillating guitar solo, incredible vocals, simplicity and virtuosity all rolled into one great sound
No coincidence that this video and The Collection II are both released on the 3rd anniversary of EVH's passing. RIP Eddie, we miss you and thanks for the music and good times!
First time I saw this video, one of those phrases popped up and has stuck with me since that day. "Nothing is more expensive than regret." I use it to this day and tell myself this whenever I ask myself, "Should I do/ask/try/go for ____?" Worse thing is you get told no. So, go for it, at least I wont regret trying but I would regret NOT trying.
This song was playing on the radio when I came out of a coma17 years ago. Right Now could have been what triggered me back to conciousness. No matter what, it will always mean a lot to me.
Miss you Eddie, you inspired me to play guitar and are my hero, can’t believe it’s been 3 years already. Thank you for everything and I know you’re up in heaven rocking.
There are records...and then there are records...and then something comes along that stops you right in your track. This is one of those. It was then, and still is,.... epic.
I never thought that the ultimate party band that was the soundtrack to my high school and college years would someday bring a tear to my eye while making me think about the big picture - until this video was released. Beautiful work by a band that has given us no small number of great moments.
I just watched this video for the first time since it came out and I’m actually blown away by how well it holds up and how good it still is. Nothing feels dated and everything still applies. And I still got the odd chill in places like I did before (“It’s cold where someone you love is” and “She is going on with her life”). Well done guys.
3 years ago today the greatest guitar player of all time passed. Such a terrible sad loss, but thank God we have all his music to listen to. 5150. RIP EVH. ❤ ❤🤘😎🤘

I’m a huge Van Halen fan who prefers the Roth era to Hagar, but I love and respect the latter to the letter. About time the Hagar era received the respect and recognition it deserves. The remastered songs sound fantastic. 👍👍
Right Now, we still miss Eddie Van Halen.
He lives on, in these tunes.
Yeah, we really do :(
@Gollam99 he does still live on in his tunes but dang it felt better when he walked among us... Love to all Van Halen fans.
Cool comment
You got that right.
Yep I think we all do. You’re totally right
Right NOW this song is more relevant than ever.

So true. You said what i was thinking!
Right Now, it's 2023, and all these points in this video still stand true...and we miss Ed!
Yes
Ending 2024, they mean a lot as well.
Right now, I'm glad my friend whose been missing for a year was found. I hope he recovers from his addictions.
I pray he's better. I'm so glad he was found❤
@@leilanisunsets1362 thanks. Sadly, his addiction struggles remain.
Thank god!!

Don't lose hope. Your friend probably senses how much ypu care. He has a fighting chance for sure with a mate like you.

This shit really hurts, miss him really, really, really, really, bad.
He changed guitar music like
Sgt. Pepper album changed music.
He changed every aspect of music. That’s why his band mates, an us the fans love him so so much.
RIP Eddie....you will always be the goat😢

Just RIGHT NOW... 😢
Still the best music video of all-time. Everything stated in this video still holds true today.
My TV is large enough now though, sure wasn't back then. 😂
Unfortunately.
@@kevbob I just got a much larger TV and this is one of the first things I watched with it and I laughed out loud when that line came up.
True. Although you could add tech companies to being in control with old men and oil companies. Maybe even more so.
Genesis Land of Confusion is just as good as this video
Right now, this song still holds up
Right Now your Parents miss you, Right now I miss my parents Love you both Mom and Dad RIP God bless you both. God Bless Eddie Van Halen we all miss him.
I sure miss my mom. She’s been gone 2 1/2 years. My heart will never be the same 💔❤️🩹
That's beautifully said. I feel exactly the same.about my Parent passing on and moving to the next stage of our evolution. 4:20
This video still hits deep in 2023… we all miss you Ed!

Right now Eddie is playing an epic solo in the sky and God applauds.
and while Randy is teaching the solo, Alexi Laiho is just waiting there for the jam to begin.
I'll end this silence. Randy Rhodes is on a different channel. We are all here for Eddie. ❤
God's like Eddie how the heck did you come up with that? Tabs please?
Impressive that God is both applauding and playing an epic solo at the same time.
Rock and Roll Heaven is reserved for only the most special of people, and Eddie sure is one of them. 😊❤🎉😢
Right now, we're all grateful for Eddie Van Halen. RIP, buddy.
Right now you’re listening to this song 🎧
...a birthday gift to myself.
Drums are impeccable
Sammy Hagar delivered 🦾🖖🔥
“Right Now” is one of those songs where the lyrics always fit regardless of when you listen to them.
Right now ... our government is doing things NO government should do.

Just perfect 🥰
Forever.

Thank you so much. Wishing you the best as well. And much love to you, too, from FL.💙

As 90’s as it gets
And 90's were cool.
1989
Definitely not... the 90s were different.
2:17 this part made me break down in tears because my dad, uncles and few aunts used to work in the fields for minimum wage
The King. Three years gone.
Opinions are subjective but he revolutionized the guitar world
"Right now, oil companies and old men are in control."
Some things never change.
We need a Shabooboo in charge!!
Right now, we're still sitting by and letting this happen. If you had it as good as they do, would stop yourself?
But. Right now :)
Miss you Eddie! Great song, great album and great era for the band.
Van Hagar!!
@@divinity269Van Halen not Van Rothtard
One of my favorite Eddie solos. It's not flashy or anything, but it's just SO in the pocket and filled with vibe.
Agreed
Absolutely!
Every note is fluid and alive.
Jerry Cantrell style solo. Love it!
My favorite van Halen song
The secret society of Sammy Hagar was the best lead in VH - unite
Right now, someone is listening to this song on repeat.
Definitely me tonight. Me and my buddies at work were arguing about the best Van Halen song. This is mine for sure!
🙋♀️
🙋♀️
ME!
Yup, very much.
Even EVH's keyboard has a signature tone

Right now I am crying over the line, It's cold where someone you love is. Thinking of both my parents who are both gone. 😓
Right now we miss you EVH
What a song
Those were the days of great music
If you’re watching this in 2023 you have a great taste in music 🎉
One of the best VH' songs
I play this song so much when I’m feeling inspired
Aww Eddie, raising a mug in your name this early in the morning! missing more than ever right now!
Quite possibly my favorite music video ever.
💟⚘️💟⚘️💟🩷💟⚘️💟⚘️💟
Right now.
I'm still listening in March 2024
Love this song.
From your Canadian fan. 🇨🇦 🍁
💟⚘️💟⚘️💟🩷💟⚘️💟⚘️💟
One of the best albums of all time.
Right Now...Ed is sorely missed.
Right now, it’s 2023, and you still rock if you’re watching this video 31 years after the song was released
That was AMAZING! Kudos to everyone involved in the making of this video. Eddie, you are so missed.
Remember this tune was used in the Crystal Pepsi commercial in the early 90s?
Thanks for being great fan ❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸
One of the best rock videos of the 1990’s, hands down. Its concept really said a lot.
Right now, the youth of today need some Van Halen in their lives
Right now, we are realizing what the best video ever made is.
Right now, all the things that were said 30 years ago are ever more present. Fly High EVH!
Right now you are loved and wanted, never forget that
There are records...and then there are records...and then something comes along that stops you right in your track. This is one of those. It was then, and still is,.... epic.
Right now, this song hits hard at home
Yes edisalive
Eddie wrote the piano piece back in '82.. Beautiful song !
Very apparent Ed was an admirer of Mike Post.
It is "OOH CHILD" by THE FIVE STAIRSTEPS underneath.
Reasonable conclusion. Gotta figure they were fans of THE FIVE STAIRSTEPS as well.
"Right Now" is based on "OOH CHILD".
Right now, I'm thinking of fond memories. And smiling.
To me this is one of their best songs.
I never thought that the ultimate party band that was the soundtrack to my high school and college years would someday bring a tear to my eye while making me think about the big picture - until this video was released. Beautiful work by a band that has given us no small number of great moments.

Ed, you are the reason I picked up my very first guitar in 82
I miss having you in the world. This place definitely sucks more now that you're gone.
Incredible song, still gives me chills to this day
I'm 55 so I've grew up with both versions in my teens and 20's
This is my favorite tune of either.
And right now im still listening to this song. Always good to listen
Right Now! The messages in this video continue to age like fine wine. Still holds up from 1991/92.
Miss you Ed! Much Love and Respect To The Van Halen Family. ✌️❤️🙏
Peak Van Halen, right here, right now!
3 years ago today the greatest guitar player of all time passed. Such a terrible sad loss, but thank God we have all his music to listen to. 5150. RIP EVH. ❤ ❤🤘😎🤘
Right now I’m thankful for my family and friends ❤
A VAN HALEN MASTERPIECE!
Right now it's time we realize that life is short and don't sweat the small stuff. RIP Eddie! 🙏
Never saw the video to go with this song. They certainly had some powerful messages
Right now .. is the last thing we ever see. Right now , do the right thing.
damn right
Right Now! We're Getting Older than We Couldn't Ever Imagine!
Right now I'm turning 53 ad this song is still amazing
Right Now I'm 60 been here since 15 VH4EVER
Right Now, someone is practicing the piano intro again and again and again
Right Now I miss the best rock band of all time. RIP EVH
Right now might be all we get!
God bless you Alex. Thank you for the video.
🙏🏻🙄 Only the good die Young
Best ever intro … for any song….omg…
One of the best concerts ever!
If I was a boxer, this would be my ring walk song. Long live king Eddie.❤
World just not the same without EVH in it. R.I.P. Eddie.
Right now, I miss what my country used to be as much as I miss this awesome fucking group of badasses.
One of best Van Halen songs ever!
Right now, I wish I could go back to the 80s life was so much simpler then. Rest in peace Eddie Van Halen. ❤🎸
Right now, this video is still pretty damned relevant.
Tween David, Eddie, Sammy ...the songs have Progressed to Be More Real to what's Needed & Necessary
31 years later AND NOT A FUCKING THING HAS GOTTEN BETTER!

same here, i prefer the Roth era, but 5150 (the album) and this song are so good
wow some respectable Roth fans. Cheers!
They had plenty of respect and were HUGE in the early to mid nineties!
So big they were as big as 1984 era
Van Halen's songs still the best thing to listened.
Right now ... I'm smoking a joint. 🎉
