David Lee Roth, singer does martial arts and wanted to bring it into this video. Eddie Van Halen, the guitarist is one of the best of all time. Michael Anthony plays bass. Alex Van Halen is on the drums. He is Eddie's brother. The band Van Halen is named after Eddie and Alex. And they are one of the best bands ever! They were my absolute favorite in high school! Play all the Van Halen records! Imagine it's 1979 1980? Disco is all the rage. You see this intriguing record with a band name of Van Halen on the cover so you pick it up. You drop the needle and "Running with the Devil" starts. Changed my life. You definitely need to listen to running with a devil. Warning, this is a rabbit hole! Enjoy the journey! RIP Eddie. We miss you!❤

"What did i miss?" The 80s, man!

"Where have I heard this song?" Literally everywhere, man. Literally everywhere. Movies, TV shows, stadiums, games, etc.

*David Lee Roth* the lead singer wasn't a cheerleader but does *kenjutsu, kenpō & Brazilian jiu-jitsu*

Also, Eddie Van Halen randomly recorded the guitar solo on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” and rearranged the song into how it ended up being released. The solo is listed among the greatest ever.

Eddie had the sweetest smile I've ever seen 💔

RIP Eddie you took your cute smile with you.

David Lee Roth is the singer. Eddie Van Halen is the guitarist. This song was off the 1984 album. They ended up kicking DLR out of the band and picking up Sammy Hagar as singer. Watch Eddie Van Halen Eruption (live) if you want to see how great of a guitarist he was. (RIP).

Eddie was a child prodigy on the piano but fell in love with the guitar. His tapping technique set him apart form other guitarist. GOAT.

Eddie and Alex Van Halen were born in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Family moved to California when Eddie was 7or 8 years old. Dad was a jazz musician. Eddie is always in the conversation for best guitarist.

Eddie was married to actress Valerie Bertinelli for 26 years and they had one son Wolfgang (Wolfie) who was bassist for Van Halen at the time of his death. RIP ELVH ❤

I saw Black Sabbath in concert in 1979. The band opening for them was a no named band called Van Halen. Fell in love with this band since. Shit I’m old.

“Jump” is a very popular sporting song. It is a staple at Detroit Pistons NBA games whenever a jump ball is called. Other sports teams have used this song over the years as well - such as the Chicago Cubs. Its also been used in TV and film.

The band is Van Halen because it was founded by the two brothers Eddie (one of the greatest guitarists ever) and Alex the drummer. The original singer is David Lee Roth, he was later replaced. Listen to the live guitar-solo "Eruption" by Eddie van Halen live in 1986 and you will know why he is one of the greatest who ever picked up a guitar...

This brings me back to high-school and rollerskating to this song... and yes I jumped in rollerskates every time they sang jump! Yes, this is 80's.

Being 60 it blows my mind people have not heard this. The whole band rocks.

This song was huge & still makes me smile ❤️🎶

Dude ,the leader singer did martial arts that's why he could do all those crazy moves ! Classic 80's synth rock . Legendary song !!!

My dude I just found your channel maybe a month or so ago, love your reactions. I just wanna say just for the record, IT'S COOL THAT YOU DON'T "DO YOUR HOMEWORK" lol it makes the reaction 100% real and AUTHENTIC!!

You nailed it...Eddie Van Halen is on guitar and the the band is named for him and his brother Alex (on drums).

PLEASE! More Van Halen! One of the BEST concerts I ever got to see! And Eddie Van Halen was the KING of the guitar!

The guitarist in the yellow jacket and the drummer are brothers. Eddie is the guitarist and Alex is the drummer.. Their surname is Van Halen and that's what they named their band. The name is Dutch, by the way.

EVH named his son Wolfgang....he was just awesome and he was married to the sweetheart of all time Valerie!!!!!!!

Smash hit!!!!! We jumped and screamed along with this song in sheer euphoria. David Lee Roth was always outrageous but this shows everyone at their best. So fun and infectious but the music is still so strong and fresh. I’m really impressed with the drums on this one today for some reason. The musicians in Van Halen were superb.

David Lee Roth was a blackbelt in martial arts. Vanhalen are two brothers

To be 14 years old again and in 9th grade!!! The beginning of the hair bands! I loved VanHalen!! The 80s were the best to be teenagers! #80skids

One of the biggest songs of the 80s, always makes you feel good! This probably was bumping in your house when you were a kid, it was that huge. EVH was a household name.

Van Halen is Dutch. The 2 Bros are from Holland until they moved to SoCal as kids. Eddie VH is on guitar and Alex VH is on drums.

The ballad stuff is known to us as the Van Hagar Era. I love both because I love all genres and styles. Van Halen with Diamond David Lee Roth is definitely party music. Eddie had an extremely good (and unique) tone, which sets him apart and puts him up there with the GOATS. DLR was trained in martial arts but yes, flamboyant af. This band was copied and pasted so much it killed almost killed rock in the 80's. My suggestion for your next VH -Panama or Hot for Teacher

Two words on Eddie Van Halen and the guitar GOAT.... Eruption solo. Also, the synth intro has been the walk out music to dozens of sports teams through the years... or a prequel to the walk out music.

😂I can't believe that someone doesn't know this song!!? It's on at every party or anywhere else...in America, unbelievable! 😂😮

"Hot for Teacher" should be your next reaction

I saw Van Halen when David Lee Roth was with them, when they toured after this album came out. Pure entertainment on the stage, also pure talent! R.I.P. Eddie

DLR was so cool and hot. By far the most fit person in rock n roll history. Or definitely in top 3!

King Edward Van Halen came out playing guitar like this and changed how people looked at the instrument forever. It’s generally held that the only other guitar player who ever made such a big impact on guitar music was Jimi Hendrix. You should check out “Hot For Teacher”.

They play the intro to this at every basketball game!

after being in the 82nd airborne Div. it took me along time to be able to enjoy this song again due to hearing it everyday over the loud speakers during PT same goes for running with the devil

I was 12 years old and rocking watching THE REAL MTV

I grew up with this music but watching your video gives me new meaning of what I'm hearing

Eddie Van Halen, guitar. Alex Van Halen, his brother, drums. They were called Mammoth. The singer, David Lee Roth, suggested they change the name to Van Halen. The rest is history.

That intro has been everywhere!! Sports, movies, radio, tv... you name it... its iconic!!

The guitarist is Eddie Van Halen (RIP) and his brother is on drums. The singer is David Lee Roth. He does all kinds of martial arts and is pretty badass. David Went and did his own music and when he left, they hired Sammy Hagar as their singer. Both singers were awesome in this band.

The sound was probably heard at the beginning of sporting events, like hockey!

Eddie Van Halen, and his older brother Alex Van Halen, the percussionist, were born in Denmark, the father an American Clarinetist, their mother Indonesian. Didn't even speak English when they got to LA. Eddie studied classical piano. Never had a guitar lesson in his life. Eddie had no rules. Check out Randy Rhoads. Classically trained guitarist. He'll bring you to your knees and make you cry.

Eddie and his brother, Alex, who's on drums, were born in Holland and the family moed to the US when Eddie was around 6 and Alex was a teen. Eddie was bullied for not speaking English & he said only the Balck kids were nice to him. They had moved to Pasadena, California. Yes, Eddie is one of the best guitarists and changed rock with their first album in '78. All the rockers in the 80s were doing a version of his guitar playing, like Jimi Hendrix in the 60s influenced everyone onward. They have a deep catalogue. This whole 1984 album is awesome as well as their first album, called Van Halen..and their other albums, too, lol.

Eddie and Alex van Halen came with their parents in the 50s from the netherlands. Their father was a professional musician, too. A rumor around "Jump" is, that Eddie composed it on a piano, not guitar.

Calling the band "Van Halen" was actually the singer's idea. David Lee Roth thought it would sound unusual and kind of mysterious, something like "Santana".

I was 17 when Jump was playing at the nightclub, and we girls did not have alcohol or anything else than water, no drugs, no cigarettes, and we danced from 12pm to 4pm on Friday night, just having good healthy fun!! Loved the 80’s!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

You could literally listen to every song in the David Lee Roth era,you'll love all of them.

The Van Halen Brothers were born in Amsterdam. Their mother was Indonesian. I swear Eddie and his Wife Valerie Bertinelli looked like brother and sister when they were young. They have a son who also plays guitar. His name is Wolfgang Van Halen. Is mom calls him Wolfie for short. It was sad that he died in 2020 and it just doesn’t seem right. He’s the worlds best guitar player ever bar none. The guitar he’s playing is basically his Frankenstein. He ended up creating a zone guitars and he does techniques that nobody did at that time, but people have painstakingly tried to copy him since. David Lee Roth never played any instruments, but he did have his own band after this he left Van Halen in 1985. It had his old bed for a while. After David Lee Roth left another really great singer came on the scene in Sammy Hagar and he’s had great success with many different bands. Chicken foot Montrose Band named after him Sammy Hagar. He was known as the red rocker. He is definitely worth checking out in every form or fashion that he’s ever done music in. I seen him in concert with Van Halen and I’ve listen to his music for many years he started out the 70s. Montros, I believe was his first band at least the one where he first started making note. I’m glad you’re playing the stuff for my day. Best one off the album in my opinion was just about tied with jump but I have a reason that it’s more my favorite and that would be Panama.

Eddie Van Halen died in 2020 (may he rest in peace). He was acclaimed as one of the best guitarists. The guitar playing in this song is iconic. The lead singer was David Lee Roth.

"cheerleading moves" --- ha! omg that cracked me up!! -- it's such a well produced song with a great message to keep on going regardless of the challenge and the video reflected the joy the band brought to their concerts... David Lee Roth was a great front man... thanks for the reaction

Thanks for proudly wearing our National Flag on your chest. RED, WHITE AND BLUE All The Way!! Greetings from The Netherlands. You know, on the left of Germany.

My favorite band. Ever. This is my teenage years.

Now you've been told the singer gets his flexibility and moves from his martial arts, you know what we're all expecting in your next video drop! I'll pop over and tell Joe E! 🤣

😂😂😂 that kick though 😂 I'm crying 💀

They introduce the players coming out on the court before pro basketball games to this song. And the singer was a marshal artist hence the kicks and jumps

I'm having a great time watching your reactions. You're pulling up stuff I grew up with. Warms my heart that ya like it.

I lived it man. 70's 80's WOW

Eddie also played the keyboard intro. One of my fav concerts was February 14, 1983 at the Charlotte Coliseum. They were dressed just about like this... I was about 15' from the stage

Definitely check out Panama :). When I went skydiving I had it video’d and they used this song for the backing track. Friggin incredible!

Eddie Van Halen is on guitar. His brother Alex is on drums. They created the band Van Halen in California. Amazing albums in the 70’s and 80’s. For a phenomenal display of guitar talent check out Van Halen’s song Eruption in its live performance. Eddie tears it up!

The Van Halen brothers were immigrants from the Netherlands. Literally came with nothing except a musical father and became icons for the ages.

To this day, watching Eddie play guitar always makes me smile.😊 ❤

I was walking back to my dorm room in Spring 1984 when I heard this one for the 1st time, blasting out of someone's window at 100+ dB. It was a great time to be alive!

Honestly, there's nothing other than you've heard the hook and loved it immediately

I love the fact that this is an actual first-time reaction.

Hi Pegasus, for me this song has been around forever and will always stand out as a classic..thank you Van Halen. And as a keyboard player that has played this track live a few times during my career I can tell you it has an irresistible effect on the crowd they just have to get up and move. And finally...yes that synth solo is a great part to show off playing! Keep up the great work.

I loved Eddie Van Halen..one of the most amazing guitarists that ever lived ❤

You would have to be living in a tomb on Mars to have never heard the intro to Jump … it gets used everywhere … hockey games, baseball, pretty much any event and it is in a ton of movies too.

1984 Chicago Cubs introduction song, it played every game. In person and on TV. OH the memories

Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' Bout Love 1978 It's from their first album! There is no official video because MTV didn't air until 1981.

1986 live without a net concert Eddie Van Halen guitar solo. 100,000 views guaranteed. Do it!

One of our fav song to skate to back in the 80s lol

Went to a concert in Fresno in the 80’s what a show they had the speakers that David Lee Roth jumped on one after another to the top of the venue.

THE WHOLE BAND IS VAN HALEN !!❤

Definitely sporting events. Big hitter at hockey games, gets the crowd well amped..

Roll with the punches brings me to another song with a Great message, Roll with the changes by R E O speed wagon!

I love watching your reactions to the good ole rock and roll we grew up with

If you've seen the movie "Ready Player One", this is in it, and was used for at least one of the movie trailers. The brown haired guy in the yellow animal print jacket is Eddie Van Halen, and that guitar is his absolutely iconic guitar. He was married to Valerie Bertinelli, and their son Wolfgang has also been a band member since 2007. They've had a few lead singers, the most well known are David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar; this one is Roth, who was known for the flamboyant style. If you want to check out more on just Eddie himself, have a look at his Eruption Guitar Solo (Live in New Haven 1986) here on YT.

Damn That drum kit is sick 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Their album Women and children first was the first one I ever bought...I absolutely LOVE Van Halen❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm loving this old school rollercoaster ride!! I have a whole list of stuff I know u will like! 🫶

Congrats on the 200K You deserve it! RIP Eddie Van Halen

Eddie's in the yellow on guitar and keys. He was trained early on classical piano and could play very well. The whole family was musical. David Lee Roth, the singer, also wrote all the lyrics for the band. Hes' got a bunch of martial arts belts & is obviously very fit. Eddie wrote all the music.

David Lee Roth the lead singer, studied Northern Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Wushu. Thats why you see the physical moves in many of their videos.

Check out Hot For Teacher next! Great video! Super fun song… Eddie and Alex are amazing!

One of many of my favorite songs from them.

For me nothing says a party in the 80’s better than VH Jump!

BP, I literally said out loud to my screen "I Love You Bro" when you explaining how not to look like a duffus. As always you bring light to a bunch of us.. much Love

😂😂3 Ninjas😂😂 Light up the eyes, boys, light up the eyes!

I like that you said what an educational video and then you said you learned and that was good😂😂

Spring Break - Fort Lauderdale, FLA - 1984. This song played for the entire, drunken stupor of a weekend!!

I was in 7th grade when this came out and in gym class we had to jump rope to a song ,and my buddy jump roped to this LOL

1984! My senior year! Sounds like glory to me!

Most popular was when the Chicago Cubs used this as their theme song in 1984...they had a great season and alot of great players...you knew everyone...was so fun to watch

The song has been used in probably a half dozen movies over the years. Most notably it was playing during the opening of Ready Player One since you mentioned the opening of a movie, I bet that's where you heard it. I've also heard bits of it played during basketball games for obvious reasons.

Dude, I LUV that you go into these blind! BTW, I've just found you recently and this is my first comment. Keep doing you. Luv your channel.

Love this X

If Eddie's guitar work sounds familiar. You may have hear his solo on a little track named Beat It. Also, when he recorded the piece, Michael had to excuse himself due to an allergy attack. While gone, Eddie rearranged the song. Michael, rather than be offended, loved what he did, and that is the version we hear to this day.
