Part of this was sampled in the Tone Loc song Wild Thing

Van Halen - Right Now

“Idyllic tears”? That, my friend, is MONEY. Glad to hear Van Halen again on your show!

excellent reaction. This lineup (w David) is the real and only Van Halen.

Happy Birthday 🥳 Gonna request And The Cradle Will Rock!! ✌❤

Alex Van Halen, #1 most underappreciated drummer in rock.

Happy Birthday Brother! The most underrated VH song in my opinion is GIRL GONE BAD!

3:17 amazingly that was just Edward's ability to shape the sound with his fingers -- no wah or talkbox

One of the few early VH songs that focuses less on Eddie’s solos, or speed. He plays excellent rhythm fills, and those melodic runs at the beginning and end show how versatile he was. You’ll hear the same thing when you listen to ‘Dance The Night Away’.

Good to hear a Van Halen reactions again. Hope you had a great birthday.

Happy belated birthday

Of all VAN HALEN tracks Ive played this more than any other. I like the overdubs and infectious intro and that amazing swirling outro. MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE I'm impressed y'all get van halen magic

Back to the seventies, I really like this record. I remember I was about 21 or so these days. Nice guitar riff.

Happy belated birthday ! I am glad you are still doing Van Halen Monday’s !! “Feel Your Love Tonight”, “ Where have all the good time Gone”, “Drop Dead Legs” “I’ll wait “ are so more Van Halen old school songs that I think you might like,,,,”The Dream is Over” by Van Hagar might be the most newer song that sounds like the older Van Halen stuff...Keep those VH Monday’s coming !!!

I gotta throw this out here my dude: Van Halen - Dirty Movies. This is the most underrated Van Halen song off their technical masterpiece "Fair Warning" album. The guitar is an entirely different level, the song has SUCH swag, such groove, and Eddie's guitar work is on this particular song, uncopiable. Why it's not among VH's most popular songs, I'll never understand. Trust me when I say you'll LOVE it.

Btw...Feel Your love Tonight completely jams and I think you would enjoy it man !!

love Jamie's crying... one of my faves

Love the Rhumba beat of this song. Like "And I Love Her" by The Beatles

Very Happy Birthday to you JayRah....hope you have a great 2021!...much peace good things to you and your family.

Have u checked out Atomic Punk yet? You can hear EVH's influence on Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) on it.

Spot on... as always!!!

DLR said this tune is basically a heavy metal rumba! The jazz background of the VH brothers, and DLR as well, heard in the swing of many of their tracks, is a big part of what separates them from the pack.

Happy. Belated Birthday! The crazy thing is mainstream thought they became tighter in the Hagar era but really they were more tighter with Roth cause they had to make up for his vocal range.

You gotta watch the 1983 us festival eruption solo. I think you might have seen a live version before but the US festival was pretty damn cool. Pulling so many tricks 9ut of his sleeve. Good reaction tho man. 🤙

How you don't have over a 100k subscribers is a travesty. One of the best KZfaqrs who breaks it down nicely.

Oh Man, it is so nice to hear a reaction from someone who knows what they're talking about. The underpinnings of Alex and Michael lay such a solid foundation for the flash of EVH and Diamond Dave that it is easy to miss just how good they really were together. Alex Van Halen's sense of timing is oft overlooked. The guitar effect was a Wah pedal. A "Cry Baby" to be specific, if he used the same one in the studio that he used on stage in '78 - I went to see Black Sabbath and Van Halen was their opener. Not a bad match musically, but the demographics were worlds apart at the time. David Lee Roth didn't impress me much at first but as a guitar player myself I was mesmerized by EVH's playing. I'd seen two hand tapping before (i.e.: Steve Hackett of Genesis) but he was taking it to another level. Anyway, great reaction and I'm glad you had an awesome birthday. Peace! LL&P

😷I heard the Grammys disrespected his contribution to music. I didn’t see it, but if they did shame on them. 🤘🖖✌️#RIP EVH🥇GOAT🎸🎸

No wah pedal. No talk box. Just a touch of an MXR Phase 90 stomp box here and there for lead work like he used on every other track on the album. He was the master of minimalism.

Foot tapping rather than head banging. That's more likely a ride symbol than a cow bell. Have you checked out "Atomic Punk" yet? How 'bout "Dance the Night Away", "Beautiful Girls", or "Everybody Wants Some!!"?

Van Halen never disappoints

March 7? Me too bro. HB!!

You do this better than anyone given your musical acumen. Well done, thx again.

I don't think that Eddie Van Halen ever used a talk box, but I think that he may have used Wah-Wah pedals Though I could be mistaken about that

Chickenfoot - "My Kind of Girl" or "Oh Yeah"

Love the channel . Period.

VH Monday/Tuesday. Heard this many times but I enjoy hearing it through your ears as a first time listen and reaction.

Jay - The sound at at 2:59 is likely a pinch harmonic. Not a wah pedal or talk box.

This song started when I walked into my first no-parents high school party. Hell of a night

Eponymous. Nice.

Read some of the comments and I agree you should check out "Atomic Punk"

'Yes! Van Halen Monday on a Tuesday! Hey Jay, my birthday is the 10th! Happy belated, water brother! Quiz. What style music does VH employ with "Jamie's Cryin?'" Answer: Rumba. VH with Hagar produced bangers too, and worth reactions. "Summer Nights" "In and Out" (live version best), "Best of Both Worlds," "Cabo Wabo," "Runaround," "Judgement Day (Live also best). The "Right Here, Right Now" live recording kicks A.! Does anyone have a P.O. Box for Jay?

Van Halen was basically a great pop band with 60s-style hooks plus spandex and teased hair.

Please check out Van Halen with Sammy... pleasure dome. Eddie didn't use pedals much in the earlier years ,yes some but not much. He did more with Sammy.

Love your honest reactions

Ed had a "Phase 90" pedal from MXR most of the rime to give it that "whoosh" sound.

I think the guitar is going through a flanger. So that oscillation you are hearing, and you aren't far off, is a different type of pedal.

you gotta try 5150 live without a net Sammy video!

Happy belated birthday! 🎂 If I’m not mistaken Eddie didn’t start using a Wah pedal until the nineties. It’s all in his hands. Trust me: you gotta check out their 2012 reunion album with Roth, A Different Kind Of Truth. The song Honeybabysweetiedoll and As Is will blow your mind, along with the sequel to Ice Cream Man titled Stay Frosty. 🤘🏼

Happy belated birthday dude

I told you you would like this ! thanks for doing it - now this song did not have all the crazy licks but it had the crunch and the energy

Dance the night away a Van Halen classic but you’ve prolly heard it already

Not a wha wha pedal just slight what are called artificial harmonics plus I think there's a slow phase or flanger going on. Eddie frequently had subtle (and sometimes not subtle!) Effects going on.

Wow great ear you have!

House of Pain!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Released 1978 and it still sounds fresh! True test and truly a masterpiece of an album!

Great reaction. This song opened side 2 on the debut. I think Eddie is using his Phase 90 pedal a lot in this song. This one was more commercial, but it has the vibe, the funk, heaviness and fun of the first lineup (with David Lee Roth). Nothing against Sammy Hagar, or that era, but they became more mainstream, and less interesting (for me) then. They were super popular then, so lots of people liked that, but for me, nothing compares to the early VH.

Topalbum! Damn we killed this poor album back then

If you ever heard the song called wild thing from tone loc he uses Jamie crying as the intro to that song if you listen to it you're here Jamie's crying mixed into it

Van Halen - Human Beings! Van Halen- Don’t Tell Me What Love Can Do

The song Dreams is by Van Hagar, saw them in '88 for the monsters of Rock, sadly without David Lee Roth, also saw Scorpions, Dokken, Kingdom Come, and Metallica. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum

THUD ROCK at it's finest ~ 😉

This song is evidence of what a hookmaster Ed was. There are no guitar "solos" in this song, just guitar hooks. And boy, do they hook you. And don't write off Van Hagar until you have seen "5150" live from "Live Without A Net," featuring amazing vocals from Sammy and IMO Ed's very best solo ever: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqhoqdNmt5y6nZ8.html

No talk box ,or wah pedal, just Eddie with his Vibrato. Happy Belated Birth Day! Atomic Punk is all that's left I think.

When Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth,the music changed.Too many ballads.

You gotta do Mammoth WVh “ you’re to blame”, Wolf Van Halen , ....Eddie son ......song rips

Quite possibly my favorite song by Van Halen....at least one of my very favorites. ...Van Halen was The Most Kick-Ass guitarist ever.

Latter half of the 1980s... Interviewer: "What do you think of Van Halen (Van Hagar)?" DLR: "I don't care. I'm not in it." Interviewer: "What do you think of Valerie Bertinelli?" DLR: "Same answer."

The tracks Good Enough and Summer Nights were both written with the assumption that Dave was going to sing them so check out those ones from the 5150 album. Also 5150 is the name of Eddie's home studio where every VH album from 1984 and on were recorded.

Well done, Gotta keep throwing it out there but Girl Gone Bad is a must.

Keep those Classic Roth-era =VH= reactions comin', bro. Atomic Punk & I'm the One, both from the debut, are KILLER!

Tone Loc sampled this intro and got in a little trouble with the lawyers. His song Wild Thing. Eddie was such a trend setter and inspiration to alot of rock guitar players. Haters be hatin' though. Just jealousy.

no wha pedal or talk box. he may have used some phase 90. and of course some whammy bar

The early David Lee Roth line up was probably the cleanest Van Halen sound but Sammy Hagar brings a musicianship that David Lee Roth never had. He was a mediocre vocalist that bought his way into a band and his charisma carried them into the charts.

YASS!

try i’ll wait or where have all the good times gone

I can't believe you didn't like dreams. That song is one of the sammy era's greatest songs. You have to remember the roth era was 70s and 80s. Where music was more hard rock. When hagar was there in the late 80s thur the 90s, music changed and sammy and eddie saw that. That's why eddie started playing more piano and organ type music. They changed to stay with the times. Hard rock changed to pop or classic rock.

Dish the dirt Jay ATOMIC PUNK godammit

All right, man. Don't think that all the Sammy-era stuff sounds like "Dreams," because it most definitely does not. While I like that song, it is nowhere near my top 10 Sammy-era tunes. I've been a VH fan since it all began. I love it. I dig Dave, but I prefer Sammy. But that's just my preference...no hate for anybody. You have SO many awesome tunes to look forward to...and the best part is that King Edward plays on ALL of them!! Might I suggest that when you do a VH reaction, you do a Dave-era followed immediately by a Sammy-era tune? And if you did it on Tuesdays, you could call it your "VH 2-Fer Tuesdays! Maybe even throw in a Cherone-era song occasionally just to mix things up a bit. Just a thought...keep enjoying the journey!

You have to check out Eddie Van Halen…….the GOAT!

Van Halen's debut album is but one of several from the 1970s that were instant classics, where (almost) every song was at least as good or better than the best songs on most albums, if not phenomenally superior.

You’ve probably heard it already........but yo, are you and Q-Tip from TCQ fam?

Yeah I dont think Eddie used much on this. Merely his "Wah Wah" Bar that's on his Guitar and Him Bending the Strings.. Amazing Song, David's Vocals ARE SIMPLY PERFECTION on this Track, THEY actually MAKE this Song what it is. Would not be as good with any1 elses singing...

THIS Song has a BIG MEMORY for me...... I Lost my Virginity while this was playing on the Radio!!! It was Very Meaningful, too...... She was a Latina teen, from NY, the Cousin of a girl in my neighborhood, in Daytona, in1979. Her Name was "Addie" (Adeline), and she was just visiting FL for the Summer. After she went home, we Wrote & called a few times.... but, (She Knew what that would Get her.....Nothing More... Sadly), It Truly was "A One Night Stand". I often wonder if she Remembers me, and Cries. (Waa, Waa, Waa, Addie's Cryin')

dreams i believe was the sammy hagar era which was awful. david lee roth is van halen. david's voice, style and frontman abilities are iconic and what made van halen a group and legend.

What happened to your thumbnail?

Love Roth era VH.....EVH was a one of a kind!

yer an 80s pop Anthem hater lol dreams -nope pride -nope that's cool but know what it is going so you can avoid them. there are types of songs you wont like no matter what before you hear nope he won't dig that. so ppl don't suggest pop anthems unless you think it's the exception to the rule lol

If this song was made today it would simply be called. Karen

This has nothing to do with this song, but I like Sammy Hagar over David Lee Roth. I'm gonna get a bunch of 👎 for this.
