Every song on the first Van Halen KICKS ASS!! You guys NEED to listen to and react to EVERY song on the 1st Van Halen album, the next one you need to react to is a song called "Im the One"! High energy and totally kick ass guitar and vibe. Lex would DEFINITELY 100% love it!!
Yes!! Best listened to in order.🔥
Yes, I'm the One has a swing to it you don't often hear in rock.
every song on their 1st album is a banger
you can lead a horse to water.....
Agreed...on the very short list of best rock debut albums of all time!
This song is a great example of what separates the great bands from the good ones. Great bands can do songs that aren't typical of their sound.
Indeed. Is (either Dave or Eddie) going, well l'll do the fuck we want.
This.
I concur
@@jasonsmith666 Nah. Eddie goes "hey Dave what do I do with this" plays a riff. Dave says "hang on(has a shot or 2 of Jack) and starts singing lyrics.
Van Halen, at it's core, is a blues-based rock band. This is a standard blues song, so it's not really a reach for them.
Singer David Lee Roth actually plays the acoustic guitar on this song. In concert, Dave had a guitar shaped like a creamsicle on a stick, with Davesickle written on the guitar. Plenty of videos from the 1980s of Dave playing the guitar in concert.
👍🏼 A lot of people don’t know that DLR could play guitar. He’s actually quite good as a rhythm guitar player. I wish he played a little more but when you were in a band with EVH, and the fact that you’re one of the best frontmen of any rock bands, 🤷🏻♂️
Also on Could this be Magic!
@@DanSolo871 And i'm guessing you don't know he can play piano too and once a long time ago(before taking up smoking) he could play sax too.
But this is a 70s party lol
This song is an example of why the David Lee Roth era Van Halen was the only one I liked. His vocals and personality add as much to the appeal of the music as EVH's guitar work. Of course, some people just don't like Roth, but I have no problem with him. Their later music was more polished but in a generic rock band way.
The only one u liked? What??
@@michaelasay8587 The only Van Halen era I liked. They had other lead singers, the vast majority of that music I didn't care for.
Roth was a whole vibe.
He was the ultimate front man. To bad he was an egotistical prick though
amen
Between Brad's realization and then play on the lyrics, and Lex grooving along with nearly every single note. This was my favorite Brad & Lex Van Halen reaction so far. So much fun.
Gotta agree Anna!
The song Ice Cream Man was written by John Brim and was first recorded by John Brim in 1968...one of my favorite Van Halen cover tunes.
Did not know that, thanks for the education. 👍
Brim laid this track down on vinyl in 1953, actually
@@Champaign1117 Good to know, I could not find that date but its makes since as this tune sounds much older than 1968...thx Tracy
Thanks!
VH did a handful of cover tunes, made them their own, and excelled at them.
I would like to have seen VH when they were nobodies playing small venues.
Never knew. Clever lyrics. Thanks, yo!
You guys should check out Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) also by Van Halen. Now that's an absolute hidden gem from them that showcases how versatile they are. It's also a song they did with their dad, Jan Van Halen.
Big Bad Bill...! Please, oh, pleeease...
yes, yes. A gem of a song.
Yes, yes, yes!
Love that tune
A few months back, I re-watched all first 3 seasons of Boardwalk Empire and the only two songs I recognized were Just A Gigolo and Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now. And that's only because of DLR. Literally the only 2 songs that were even semi-recognizable (they only used songs of the day).
You guys should do Van Halen’s “Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now” from their Diver Down album - with a special guest clarinet solo by Jan Van Halen, Eddie and Alex’s DAD !
Great Tune!!
And Happy Trails
Brad & Lex, ya'll might wanna know this is Van Halen's first lead singer David Lee Roth playing acoustic guitar on that song. He was very important to the bands success, and was no doubt the bands most popular member. He pretty much owned the 80's.
Thank you!
He has said when he dies just sprinkle him over the 80's.
@@waynesmith2287 He also said that Van Halen is A 70s Band ,,,
Well there’s probably some doubt. Evh himself changed the guitar forever. All the 80s and 90s bands were inspired by his style
I'm so stoked you guys liked this song! 😁 Van Halen is totally hot roded 50's music!
Dancing in the Streets, You Really Got Me.
I love Lex's upbeat positive vibe she's got going on just jamming and getting into it and I love it.
Brad and Lex, you guys GOTTA react to Van Halen's STAY FROSTY. It is basically their Ice Cream Man part II recorded in 2012, some 34 years after Ice Cream Man released in 1978. It is amazing, just as cheeky and just as heavy and fun too. Please consider reacting to that. Keep up the fun videos. You guys are a fun distraction from all things dark and depressing in the news these days. Stay frosty my friends. :)
I visited Kansas City last week and outside of the Jazz Museum a man was playing this tune in it's original version on acoustic guitar. It sounded amazing.
John Brim
Probably my favourite guitar solo. When Eddie arrived people thought it must be machines and effects. He used less effects than anyone. He was just so machine-like precise and had so much feel everyone just assumed. What an amazing person. FYI Brad and Lex: that's Dave on the acoustic at the beginning. I can just picture Eddie gritting his teeth having to listen to it every show.
Michael Anthony on bass really shreds this tune, grabbin' it by the boo-boo big time!
He's really overlooked for his bass playing. Normally, he's just recognized for his spectacular backing vocals.
Weird thing here, my husband looks just like Micheal Anthony, not so much anymore, but the 1st time I met him, I said you look like that guy in Van Halen, of course he just laughed and said really? I get that alot. But he never seen the comparison.
...this song sends us into to the stratosphere of great rock n roll . It's got everything... timeless, creative, jamtastic, "wheredidyougowithmyears" guitar riffs, rhythm & percussion...and yes humorous. Great discovery Brad & Lex :D
I would add that you should review every song on the Van Halen I and II albums just to start. They won't disappoint, and you'll be in for an amazing ride!
Original VH singer David Lee Roth was a character... he loved to do cover songs. Even after leaving VH, he recorded covers of Beach Boys' "California girls" ... also songs like 'Ladies night in Buffalo' ... 'Just a giggolo'...
Eddie Van Halen was apparently not happy when half of Van Halen's 'Diver down' album in 1982 were covers.
I love Diver Down.
I see Eddie's point. Van Halen were frickin' VAN HALEN....NOT "the world's best cover band".
Around the time of Diver Down, Eddie was moving more towards keyboards. DLR and Ted Templeton wanted to repeat what they knew worked, Eddie’s guitar. By the time they recorded 1984 they relented and let Eddie do his keyboard stuff too. Ted Templeton has said in hindsight he did not see it but Eddie was right.
@@alexo5861 yeah... Eddie insisted on calling the shots on '1984'... DLR relented, but was miserable on that tour... Sammy Hagar in 1985 just let Eddie do the music he wanted, which is why it was a better collaboration for a while...
I know Eddie was also upset because he had a keyboard riff he had wanted to use for their own song, and it ended up being used in the beginning of Dancing in the Streets. That was a horrible song to cover!
Its so amazing to see black folks enjoying good rock . It really makes me smile 😂. Awesome guys. Thanks for your video and good for you to explore 🙋♂️👍
David Lee Roth is playing the acoustic guitar in the beginning of the song. Fun reaction guys!
1:07 Brad: "this is Van Halen" (puzzled the low key nature of the song)
Judy: 'Yes, yes it is Van Halen" (sits back and waits for Brad and Lex to react.) 😁
I just love when Lex really gets into the groove of this upbeat rockin' song.
Van Halen was a true power band...never fulfilled their enormous potential...but still rocked the planet.
Sunday afternoon in the park/ One foot out the door....is an experience! Sunday afternoon in the park showcases Michael Anthony`s Bass guitar skills!
So fun! This free-spirited Goodtime Vibe is all over this first Van Halen album. There is not a bad song on it and it still sounds incredibly alive and vital considering that it's 40-plus years old at this point
'Unchained' live from Oakland video reaction please. It will show you how incredible they were live at the peak of their sucess. Also 'Hear About It Later' and 'So This Is Love' from the same tour. Incredible stuff!!!
Analogy is good…….. bwahahaha! What do you do with an ice cream? Don’t answer out loud! Lolol😘😘😘You two are just precious!❤️
One of my very favourite Van Halen songs. It really show DLR’s personality and bluesy, gravely vocals and Eddie’s banging solo.
2:06 considering some of Lex's reactions to Eddie's guitarwork.. I'm very surprised y'all haven't listened to more Van Halen.
I'd love to see you guys check out Drop Dead Legs - one of my favorite tunes of theirs. Top Jimmy as well (the entire 1984 album is KILLER).
Another cover in a similar vein to this one is Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now). That same kinda old school vibe with a little Van Halen twist.
Bluesman Elmore James did his version during the same era as Elvis, so, Lex you're on point.
He was a man of the night but he never charged...listen to the song again!
Van Halen was just the best party band !! Keep those Van Halen reactions if you like having fun !! RIP EVH…the ultimate guitar hero …
Van Halen in the '70's and 80's were just pure and unmatchable unadulterated California fun in the sun pyrotechnics. They didn't really skip too many beats when Sammy Hagar took over for Dave and Dave didn't really dishonor himself too badly when he went solo. It was the Eighties, after all. And while there's no debate that DLH era Van Halen was better, don't sleep on the Sammy stuff, either.
I loved Van Hagar, but no way could Sammy have made this sound as cool as DLR.
Very True but Sammy had his own Style 😁👍💯
You’re right about that. I don’t think those lyrics fit Sammy’s persona either. A good example that there is more to delivering a song than just having a good singing voice.
Sam didn't do any cheezy covers.
@@ConstanceCox He wrote some cheesy stuff himself, unless Dave.....
Sammy is a great guy and cool. But the era between 77 and 84 was insane. Nobody sounded like Van Halen then or now. Mean Street still blows my mind
I have always absolutely LOVED this song!
when you have immense talent, you can play ANYTHING!! love their humor as well..
Style-wise, this is all Dave. He writing and performing music like this way before he got into VH. If you haven't already, check out "Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now," off the Diver Down album. Eddie and Alex's dad plays the clarinet on that track. And it's DEFINITELY different -- it was written 60 years before VH covered it.
Must be said David Lee Roth attributes his stage persona being styled after the great Jim Dandy Mangrum front man for Black Oak Arkansas
@@1bigrowdy ooohhh, yeah!
He may very well have been man of the night lol. David Lee Roth later did a solo cover of "Just a Gigolo," that was a big hit
David Lee Roth loved the songs that were kind of quirky but still took a lot of talent to do right. 1984 was a great album but some of the songs could have easily been really bad if not for the talent of Eddie and Dave.
This was one of my mom's favorite Van Halen songs, for some reason LOL.
Back in the late 70's.
Reaction made me smile and cry at same time - miss EVH-what a performer. 1982 HS grad so VH huge part of my life-10+ live shows - always brought full energy
Yeah, it's definitely got that 50's feel to it.
Eddie could play anything. He was a musical genius.
Saw them in concert, David Lee played the acoustic part.
This is why DLR and Van Halen are so amazing! The songs (and videos) are always catchy and get your heart pumping. And musically they are fantastic and compliment each other perfectly. One of the best in the world.
This is one of my go-to songs for a bad mood….makes me smile and dance. This is the power of music and I adore seeing the looks on your faces and Of course Lexi’s excellent air guitar skills,
Van Halen was a great live band !
Watch them live !
Gotta watch “unchained”
So it is easy to love what Eddie Van Halen is as a guitarist, but David Lee Roth took the band from really good to really special.
Soo good recorded, soo bad live.
I believe its the other way around.
DLR brought charisma to the band but EVH is the man and the thunder behind the groups music!
Undisputed Leadership!
@@raymondrocha797 I believe it took four guys to make it work. The band would not have been the same without any of them.
@@da324
That's true. But what is the name of the group? That's right Van Halen!
And Eddie along with DLR write the songs! Nothing to take away from Mike and Alex.
And Eddie was making the most money out of all the other fellows in the group.
@@raymondrocha797 They had an equal split in the original band.
When Brad said I don't think this is about the Ice Cream Truck I about died laughing..
He was an Ice Cream truck driver and liked his regular stop! ;-p
Brad was correct. It's an analogy and innuendo!
1:10 'THIS IS VAN HALEN??' Paused a little too soon, Bradley my man, lol!
Also definitely check out "Feel your love tonight"!! Another "pump you up"song with a killer groove!
also atomic punk
Great tune!!!
That will put a bee in your bonnet! Great tune off their incredible first album. Try the Atomic Punk from that album for an audio assault. Also Someone Get Me a Doctor and Everybody Wants Some. Enjoy! 🎸
Yeah they need to dedicate a whole video to that album. 🤘✌️
I read that when Van Halen was in the studio recording this song, Eddie Van Halen created the guitar solo on the spot, first take, off the top of his head and that's what you are hearing in this song and he compared it to falling down the stairs and landing on your feet.
"Good to be passionate about your job." Funny. Better than a mailman! 😆
Loved it ! Can’t beat VH for good time rock and roll. Brad you’re right… he loves his job !!! 🤣
great choice guys :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, next should be ATOMIC PUNK
...paused & Brad & Lex saying its chill, & I'm just waiting to see what happens when it cranks up!!😆
Eddies solo;s in this one are just friggin SICK - Eddie will always be one of the most amazing players of rock history
When it comes to the lyrics it's just so funny how it was *11 O'clock* that made *#Lex* realize we're Not talking about no ordinary *Ice Cream Man... LOL😆*
The very first time I heard this song, I was16 years old. I am now 59 years old and it is still my favorite song from my favorite band. Loved seeing Lex react the way THAT I DID 43 years ago 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Out of all of their albums, Diver Down has always been my favorite, but their debut was phenomenal. The whole thing is a straight bop. This one and Big Bad Bill always make me smile no matter how bad I feel.
I love knowing what’s coming and thinking “just wait for it…” before they start to wail, and then seeing their faces when it happens 😂
You guys are awesome, love your takes. This is song is a traditional blues song (why you feel it's from the 50's 60's) supercharged and given high energy treatment by the Mighty Van Halen. The solo has a bunch of blues guitar standards that are just taken to another level by Eddie along with some of his own licks. Yes, you need to listen to the whole first album and then realize what was around in 1978 to see how Van Halen changed rock.
Man the world misses Eddie...
He was a man of the day offering his services. A pool boy of sorts. You know, when wives stayed home.
It’s awesome how Lex somehow immediately responds to elite guitar players. Takes me back to when I first heard this stuff and went nuts.
If you like the acoustic blues feel of first part of this song, you might like Could This be Magic by VH too. Cool song.
He may not have been a "man of the night" in this song, but on David Lee Roth's EP "Crazy from the Heat" he does "Just a Gigalo" (a cover of an old standard from the 1920s ... funny, i was going to just type "from the '20s" but now we have to be more specific ... its weird livin' in the future).
You should check out David Lee Roth's solo work after Van Halen because it was campy and obscure covers (like this one, which is an old blues song from the '60s) that Dave always wanted to do that really drove the conflict between him and Eddie and ultimately got him kicked out of the band, so he goes all out with this type of song (rumor is Eddie absolutely hated Icecream Man)
watching you two guys cracks me up lmao lex u really getting down awesome
" just a gigalo" is another great jam from DLR
So I really liked your reactions to this song. So I'm going to make a suggestion here. David Lee Roth went on to have a solo carrier after Van Halen. On his first album he had a similar song to Ice Cream Man called, Just a Gigolo. So when you're thinking where you should go next, you could circle back to this one. Just a thought. 🤔🤔🤔
The debut album from Van Halen is the greatest debut rock album ever. Every song is 🔥🔥🔥
You two are AWESOME! You've made me not want to watch anyone else's reactions videos lol! Keep up the great work !!
To see this live with Dave and the boys were in their prime was really a thing to behold!
If you liked this, definitely check out Big Bad Bill that features Eddie's father on clarinet. 🤘
I always thought it had to be a dare of some kind... David Lee Roth could make anything sound dirty... and this, on paper, is squeaky clean... but just listen... I'm with Lex. He was selling what he's got to satisfy every taste.
Lex, your reaction to this song brought true joy to my heart. I was actually moved to tears. This album was released in 1978. It was around 1983 the first time I ever heard it it, I was 15. I remember that same feeling of pure joy when I first heard it. Thank you for allowing me to relive that moment through you. 🥰
Funny I came across your comment, same age as me we grew up in the best era to be young, 54 now this song still gives me chills the solo was so explosive! Her reaction to this song made me feel good as well!! Where did the time go???? RIP EDDIE thanks for the memories!
@@tommcdonough6086 yes, I strongly agree
Gosh I thought I was the only one that would cry for this!
One of the best Van Halen songs! Nobody ever reacts to this. Thank u, thank u, thanks!
Another fun song with a great ending. Yeah, he's not just talking about ice cream.
Y'all are definitely VH fans, something off Fair Warning like Sinners Swing or Mean Street, you won't be disappointed.
I recommend "Push comes to shove" from Fair Warning.
This song is pure gold. What an incredible guitar player.
Love you guys , great commentary.. keep going 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is such an underrated VH song, DLR lyrics and voice are incredible and the usual EVH kick ass guitar makes this such a unique and classic tune. I remember seeing this live in 1981 as VH opened up for The Rolling Stones and DLR sitting on a stool playing this and pounding a bottle of JD. ‘What a show! They killed it that day as they usually do. Stones weren’t bad either, lol !
If you liked that song, you should check out another song from that album (Van Helen’s 1st!), a song called “I’m The One”! It rips!! That whole 1st album is an all-time classic!!
David Lee Roth, the groups original singer, has an interesting personality that fits well with songs like this. After going solo he sang a number of similarly amusing songs; 'Yankee Rose', 'Just a Gigolo'...
some Van Halen can brighten up your day. love it. from Van Halen to Van Hagar. Its all good.
This song is pure Blues. It is a masterpiece. It's about sex. Ice cream is innuendo. Love the reaction.
Oh if you want a really big departure from Van Halen's usual sound, try their song "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now)".
Great Cover, reminds me of my recently departed Uncle William who was a small but Hard military man in his youth.
R.I.P. EVH....Love the man & the music....this record was his introduction to the world....I'm forever grateful.
Great song!! Later on in their career they did a song called Stay Frosty which for whatever reason reminds me of this song.
Great Band...My next choice would be: "Why can't this be love"...awesome song!!
atomic punk next :D
@@TheConservativeinaction fine by me!
Perfectly defines the line between the Roth era and the Hagar era. They went from "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" to "Love Comes Walking In" and "Why Can't This Be Love". BLECH.
Seriously??
This song is great! Atomic Punk is good also! I never cared for David Lee Roth……great voice, but too pretty……lol.❤️RIP EVH❤️
Pretty? Have you seen him since the 80s and his hair fell out?
All of van halens shit back in late 70s early 80s primo. Omg I was at THE US FESTIVAL GREATEST SHOE EVER
This is top 5 as far as your vids go. So cool watching u react
I've heard this song literally hundreds of times, and I couldn't wait to see Lex's reaction when the band came in and the guitar solo started. That surprise made the whole video worthwhile.
Ela sempre ajuda dar vida aos vídeos, é magnífica!
“Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment”
If you like this.. you will love "stay frosty".
Lyrics are funny. Haha.
Any friend of mine in high school could sing this from memory and if it ever comes on, everyone joins in! Keep Rock Alive!! 🤘🏽🖤🔥🙌🏼 ℁
Van Halen with David Lee Roth had a lot of jazz influence.
This song was written by Blues legend, John Brim...The song was written and recorded in 1953 but wasn't released until 1969...
What a treat it must be to live with Lex. Brad won the lottery.
Eddie's solo smokes right out of the starting gate. One of his best.
This song just reminded me of a movie called Crossroads with Ralph Machio, the original Karate Kid. Anyways the movie is about a kid who's a classically trained guitarist, but his passion is playing the blues and knowing all its history. He ends up helping an old bluesman escape an elderly home because he claims to have some knowledge of which I'm blank at the moment. Anyways he really wants the kid to take him to the Crossroads to make another deal with the devil. Some really good guitar playing in this movie. And you get to see Steve Vai vs the karate kid on guitars.
