Legendary Band that disbanded after Eddie Van Halen unfortunately passed away

✌🤘❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍

A very thought provoking reaction 💡! Van Halen does not perform as a group anymore, they officially disbanded after Eddie Van Halen's passing in 2020. I see 👁👁that you have reacted to Van Halen before: Jump. Right Now was released as the third single from Van Halen's 1991 album: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. It was written by Van Halen. It was produced by Andy Johns, Ted Templeman and Van Halen. The song reached #2 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #55 on the Hot 100. The music video was directed by Mark Fenske. The music video won three awards at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, including: Video of the Year, Best Direction in a Video and Best Editing in a Video. The music video displayed socially conscious messages about safe sex and other hot-topic issues of the time. Sammy Hagar hated the idea because he thought the subtitles would distract attention away from the song. "I said, 'I am not doing it'," he told the UK TV show Video Killed the Radio Star. "I said, 'I wrote the best lyric I've ever written in Van Halen, I'm trying to upgrade this band's image with lyrics to where we're finally not just a party band that can play instruments, and they wanna put words underneath? Why don't they use the words I wrote? They're great words. It's a statement. It's gonna be confusing!'". Sammy Hagar retreated to South Carolina and wouldn't return anyone's phone calls until Warner Bros Records chairman Mo Ostin called him and convinced him to do it. Unfortunately, Sammy Hagar ended up getting pneumonia and had a miserable time shooting the video - and it shows. "If you look at my attitude in the video I'm like [crosses arms]. I wouldn't even cooperate". One of the most popular songs of the Sammy Hagar (as lead singer) Van Halen era: "Right Now", is a message about living in the moment. It came at a time of worldwide political change, especially in Eastern Europe and The Soviet Union. Eddie Van Halen wrote the music for "Right Now" during the David Lee Roth (as lead singer) Van Halen era, but David Lee Roth had no interest in it. It wasn't until 1991 that the song finally came together. Sammy Hagar, determined to write an inspiring lyric with no trace of sex or hedonism, came up with the "Right Now" song title and concept. Eddie Van Halen would play the piano riff in the studio while they were making the album: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, and one day it clicked that it was the right music for the lyric Sammy Hagar was working on. The pair completed the song together when the album was almost done. During the 2008 presidential campaign: "Right Now", was played at a Republican Party rally following Sarah Palin's introductory speech, after she'd been chosen as John McCain's running mate. A statement was made regarding its use by an unnamed member of Van Halen's management, which said: "Permission was not sought or granted nor would it have been given [to use the song]". Sammy Hagar, who co-wrote and sang the song, was more positive. He said in a statement: "When I wrote the lyrics to 'Right Now' I intended them to inspire people to not sit around and wait for something they believed in but to go out and get it - to make a change however they needed to. Whether it was McCain who used the song or if Obama had chosen to use the song, with the current political climate, the lyrics still have the same meaning, and we all need to do something to make a difference, every action counts". This wasn't the first time the song was used in a political setting. George W Bush used it during at least one rally in 2006. In 2011, Time magazine called it "the most misused song in GOP politics", pointing out that in the video, the graphic" "Right now oil companies and old men are in control", flashes on the screen. Van Halen Info 📰: Van Halen was an American rock band formed in Pasadena, California, in 1973. From 1974 until 1985, Van Halen consisted of Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. Credited with "restoring hard Rock to the forefront of the music scene", Van Halen was known for its energetic live shows and for the virtuosity of its lead guitarist, Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen's musical style has been described as Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Arena Rock, Pop Rock and Glam Metal. Upon its release in 1978, the band's self-titled debut album reached No. 19 on the Billboard pop music charts and would sell over 10 million copies in America. By 1982, the band had released four more albums: Van Halen II, Women And Children First, Fair Warning and Diver Down, all of which have since been certified multi-Platinum. By the early 1980s, Van Halen was one of the most successful Rock acts of the day. The group's album: 1984 (1984), was a commercial success with American sales of 10 million copies and four successful singles. Its lead single: "Jump", was the band's only number one single in America. Van Halen's album: 1984, was released on January 9, 1984, ending Van Halen's streak of releasing one album every year since 1978 by nine days. It is not known if the release date of 1-9-84 was a clever marketing ploy or just a coincidence. In 1985, David Lee Roth left the band to embark on a solo career and was replaced by former Montrose lead vocalist Sammy Hagar. With Sammy Hagar, the group released four number-one, multi-platinum albums in America over the course of 11 years including: 5150 in 1986, OU812 in 1988, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge in 1991 and Balance in 1995. Sammy Hagar left the band in 1996 shortly before the release of the band's first greatest hits collection titled: Best Of - Volume I. Former Extreme frontman Gary Cherone replaced Sammy Hagar and recorded the commercially unsuccessful album: Van Halen III, with the band in 1998, before parting ways in 1999. Van Halen then went on hiatus until reuniting with Sammy Hagar in 2003 for a worldwide tour in 2004 and released the double-disc greatest hits collection titled: The Best Of Both Worlds. Sammy Hagar again left Van Halen in 2005. In 2006 David Lee Roth returned, but Michael Anthony was replaced on bass guitar by Eddie Van Halen's son, Wolfgang Van Halen. In 2012, the band released their final studio album: A Different Kind Of Truth, which was commercially and critically successful. It was also Van Halen's first album with David Lee Roth in 28 years and the only one to feature Wolfgang Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen Passing 🙏🏻: Eddie Van Halen passed away from a stroke at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, on October 6, 2020, at the age of 65, surrounded by Janie (wife), Wolfgang (son), Valerie Bertinelli (ex wife) and Alex (brother). His son, Wolfgang, confirmed his passing on social media later that same day. Some of Van Halen's childhood landmarks in Pasadena became memorials where fans could pay their respects. Eddie Van Halen had a private funeral service then the family had his body cremated as per his wishes and his ashes given to his son Wolfgang Van Halen. His ashes were later scattered off the coast of Malibu, California, the city in which he lived for many years. A month after his father's passing, Wolfgang Van Halen confirmed that Van Halen had disbanded.

Some reactions to consider 🤔: Bee Gees- To Love Somebody Live (LilLinks YT channel), Marva Whitney- Things Got To Get Better Live (Reelblack One YT channel) or Elvis Presley- In The Ghetto Live (Judy Hicks YT channel).

During Eddie's video solo it says, "Right now Eddie's got his hands full" RIP EDDIE😇 RIGHT NOW Sammy, and Michael Anthony are playing in "The Circle" and can still play this in concert because Sam co-wrote it. I prefer Van Hagar

Van Halen is a classic hair band!! My favorite song of theirs is “Wanted: Dead or Alive”. Eddie Van Halen is an amazing guitarist, check out his solo called “Eruption” 😎👵🏼💜☮️
