    You have to know this fact: Eddie (the guitar player) created an amplifier called 5150 along with the brand Peavey, which is used by A LOT of the metal bands now a days. That amp gave the "sound" of the modern era of metal :)

      @@barbaravance6774 yes! I am a guitar player and the actual sound of guitars in metal mostly comes from that amp and the influence of Eddie. I'm not a big big fan of the band but I really like several songs of them. If you can "hear" an example of that "sound" in Van Halen, listen "Don't Tell me".. is really heavy! Also listen "Ten ton hammer" of Machine Head, that album (an many of MH) were recorded using that amp :)

    Man Van Halen was the perfect chemistry at the perfect time! Marriage made in heaven, really. Dave's - well- Persona, Eddie's crazy happy self, Michael's cool laid back groove, and Alex's fire behind those drums! It just worked, and it worked well until those egos finally got the better of them. Musically, FUCKING AWESOME! Their music defined that generation, basically. From the mystical progressive occultism of the 70's in Led Zeppelin, Van Halen personified the "Who gives a shit, let's party, have a line on my girlfriend's butt!" attitude of the 80's. If there is one band that defines my memories of the early 80's and Mustangs and women on Mustangs, it is this band! It was that chemistry man!

      To all you Van Hagar fans...the ONLY reason you even know about Van Halen is because of DLR and Eddie. If Hagar had been the original lead singer they would have gone NOWHERE.
      he is the better singer no question but.... Rock has never been about the greatest singer...
      You ever really listened to AC/DC????
      They had the 2 worst singers in history and still rocked it out.
      Van Halen were great when they were young and didn't give a damn. Once they decided they wanted to try to grow up and play more sophisticated music they turned into Foreigner with a great lead guitarist.
      Hagar although a good singer has the stage presents of a moldy cucumber.
      He climbed onto a train that was already rolling.
      He changed Van Halen from a band that young girls liked to a band that middle-aged dudes liked.
      Maybe that's not a bad thing if you're a middle-aged dude but to me they never made a record as good as the first one and never made a single as good as Jump.
      The more they tried for pop success with Sammy Hagar and his sappy whiny tunes the worse they got. They should never have tried to grow up But I guess it was inevitable.
      I have NEVER heard a woman say "that tubby little Sammy Hagar is SOOOO Hot.
      When they lost Dave, they became sexless and whiney.

      Mark Kerns I think Eddie Van Halen was listed number five or six within the top 10 guitar players ever and with Jimi Hendrix that number one that’s not bad. Brian May from Queen was given an honorable mention at number 11. I’m thinking Eddie was number five. All of them were outstanding and it’s not that I couldn’t disagree or agree but just depends on preference. Nobody could argue that Eddie Van Halen was not in the top 10 because he definitely belongs there and there are all lot of guitar players.

    • @jimmyboy131

      Some of his best recorded work is found on less popular songs, like "Me Wise Magic", "Push comes to Shove", "Pleasure Dome", among many others. He was an astonishingly good rhythm guitar player. His timing and rhythm were and maybe still are unparalleled.

    This song was written when the band or someone in the band saw a thing on the news about a guy threatening to jump off of a building. So in the song he's basically saying that if you can't handle what life throws at you, well you might as well jump. And that flip he did towards the end, it wasn't anything special. He actually whiffed a backflip. They just played the clip in reverse to look like he flung himself so hard off his back he did a front flip.

    The inspiration for the song came from seeing a news report on a guy who wanted to commit suicide: 'might as well jump. Go ahead jump'. But ironically, there's a deep and positive message:
    I get up and nothin' gets me down
    You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
    And I know, baby, just how you feel
    You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real.
    By the way, keyboards were big in the 80s, and it's about time they made a comeback.
