With Eddie's virtuosity and Diamond Dave's incredible vocal range and athletic antics, Van Halen was hot fun on a plate‼💞

I think everybody loved this song when it came out... I wouldn't call this one of their best but it is definitely one of their most popular!

Eddie Van Halen played the guitar riff on MJ's "Beat It"

When Van Halen's first album came out in 1978 (?) it was one of those very few albums that changed everything. Boston and Frampton Come's Alive were two more. By the time Jump was released Eddie Van Halen was a guitar God! "Lines On My Face" off Frampton Comes Alive is a hidden GEM! The late 70's was an incredible time for music!

Eddie's smile 😍

Used to love the song, I still do . Great song

Hey guys, Love your channel, Van Halen, in any form is good, each version has it's good and bad, but since I was a fan of Montrose back in the 70's I didn't mind Sammy taking the reins for a bit, of course the original line up is and always be Van Halen, I like both iterations myself, spending my career in FM radio spinning tunes just like this in the 80's, 90's, 2000's, and recently retired...love the content guys, keep it up!!!

I remember when this came out. This song and Panama over the radio in the kitchen, the car, to school, work... This was a big song. Panama was bigger. I think Panama was Van Halens push into legendary icon status. The 1984 album was epic. (Before it came down and changed into Van Hagar).

Track : Highway 61 Revisited Album: Second Winter Artist: Johnny Winter, 1967 This is an iconic performance by a legend, the greatest slide guitarist of all time. He lived with Muddy Waters for ten years down in Mississippi, right off Highway 61 on Tabacco Road. You may have done the live version but it was done 40 years later. This version was done when Johnny was in his teens and shows his natural, god given talent.

I do recall hearing this in a Audio store- blaring from the demo speakers, and thinking- wow this is amazing really loud! This an John Fogerty's solo song "Old Man Down the Road". Fantastic recordings. Love your channel Gents!😊

Dayum pure talent those days R.I.P Van Helen

THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION..I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VAN HALEN

I just love you guys. Keep up the great reactions 👍

David was into martial arts so those moves were no problem for him. An iconic monster pop hit from VH and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I remember watching this video like everyday as well about 5/6 times a day on MTV 😊

I love those guys!

Man, growing up in the 70's and 80's we're a blast. So much great music, so many great concerts. I don't believe I ever heard someone play the guitar as good as Eddie did in concert. He had incredible rymth and timing. He enjoyed every second of it. I will never forget that smile! You guys have to check out some of Sammy's songs. I recommend Poundcake or Right Now.

BTW, I love all the different hats you guys are wearing. My thing is sweatshirts (and t-shirts). I must have 30 of them. I don't need tatoo's. I just change my clothes.

As a Van Halen fan from the first album I always appreciated the combination of great music and a lot of fun lyrics and nonsense during the Roth period; after he left I in turn came to like the Hagar period even more maybe it’s because I was older and was drawn to the more “mature” lyrics that was being written and to me a more melodic style of rock that complimented Sammy’s vocals best. This album did catapult VH into the stratosphere with a few heavily played tracks and videos. Another great reaction gentlemen! ✌️😊

This album was my first introduction to Van Halen. My older brother had it on cassette and I stole it from him. Every song on it is killer. I never had a problem with the band adding keyboards. They were already kind of a pop band with their vocals and catching choruses, plus Eddie's riffs were hooky as hell. Van Halen is the ultimate party band and will continue to be a huge influence on rock music.

Gotta be honest, as a "boomer" (b.1964) when I heard the first 4 bars of this LONG AWAITED return of one of my "fav bands" of all time, I could have cried. I HATED IT. We 70s and 80s hard rocking metal heads hated keyboards. (Think I went and put on Judas Priest or Iron Maiden or something) Today, I can only say it is STILL one fine album from STILL one of the greatest RnR bands of all time. 🤘😎 Much love, fellas.

EVERYBODY loved Jump when it came out, BECAUSE of the video. The video is joyous and it was just great to see VH f**king around and having fun. It didn’t matter to us that it was poppy Jump is fun and it was fantastic to see the boys out there having fun too!

I'm an old rock-n-roller, and I loved this song when it came out. I saw Van Halen years ago when they opened for the Stones ('81). They about blew my eardrums, and I've been to many a rock concert.

Rocking my favorite band and an Expos cap. Sweet.......

Saw them in concert in early 1984 after this album dropped. I was a 17 year old high school senior. That 15,000 seat basketball arena was full of hot girls. So ... no I don't mind you digging this song up and helping me relive that memory. My oh my ... great times.

So much fun was had back in the day while listening to this song. Got to see them in concert twice. There shows were ones that you never forgot.

That was the first Van Halen song that I really got into, and synths were everywhere at the time.

Great reaction. Such an iconic song.

Smiles on your face said it all🇦🇺🇺🇸

Diamond Dave....gotta be one of the best front men ever!

Love it. And I’m old. 👍🏼😀 🎶❤️🎶

If you had a party in the 80s you played this song.

David Lee Roth was such an entertainment all to himself. The whole band really had such a good time you could tell. All of these videos and songs from the 70's bring back so many wonderful memories. Thank you two. A funny one is, "Ice Cream Man".

Love any 80's song choice. Viva Van Halen!

One of their best rockers with David Lee going crazy in the video!

David Lee Roth is a Black belt in Karate, that is why he jumps so high etc.🤘☮🥁

This was the pop VH. Not my favorite when came out but grew on me over 30 years 😂. Old VH fellas

David Lee Roth was one of those hard to control hyper kids and his parents sent him to some kind of school. He got into martial arts at a very young age so what you see is very real. A confirmed bachelor that really got around with the women. I have been of Van Halen ever since their 1st album. Won meet and great tickets and met them. Just got to shake hands and get a picture with a disposable camera that they gave to each group.

Both bro’s won pianist contests and their dad was a master

Hi La and Chee, I always liked this song by VH. My favorite is Dreams with the video of the Air Force's Blue Angels flying maneuvers. Great tune/video! ☮🖤🤘

This was/is their most mainstream, AM radio friendly song…previously to this you could say it was “Dance The Night Away”, from VH II.

This takes you back! This, Michael Jackson Billy Jean, Prince Purple Rain, Bruce Springsteen Born in the USA were the big albums of that time. It’s not a favorite of old time VH fans, but Hot for Teacher and Drop Dead legs are pretty kick ass hard songs!

I didn't like it at first, but you couldn't go anywhere without hearing it. My boss had floor seats to NBA games and my son was a MJ FREAK -- I specially remember THAT SONG played several times when we saw the Bulls. 😊

This era showcased Alex's drums and Eddie's rhythm guitar, which is very underrated!

Van Halen is not getting old for me. I didnt buy their stuff, but I sure enjoyed what was on the radio.

This song had it all.

This was my introduction to Van Halen back in the day as well. Yeah, it's a pop song, but 1984 is still a damn good Van Halen album. 👍

The synth riff makes the song.

Great album, awesome tour

This was also the first van Halen song/video I heard.. but in 1984 😎🚬

Great party music….! Van Halen was a great garage or club band!

That 89’s big hair is a show all its own!

I'm a huge Van Halen fan and I remember very clearly to this day the first time I hear Van Halen I in 1978. I was fourteen years old and just discovering all of the great music going on at the time and it blew my mind so much so that it inspired me to learn and play guitar and I have been playing ever since. With that said, Jump from 1984 is not one of my favorites of theirs. What many people don't know is that Eddie was an award winning concert pianist as a child and the piano was his first instrument. During the 1984 album he wanted to start incorporating keyboards into his music (which he continued into the Sammy Hagar years) and got a lot of flack from us purists at the time. Over time, I've come to appreciate Jump and Eddie's introduction of the keys into his music.

Bros! That's my ting too. It's one of the first records I bought. The gimmick is so catchy. 💙

This song was inspired by a story Dave seen on the news about a guy jumping off a building and meeting his end.Funny how catchy and upbeat it is.

There are 2 Van Halen songs in my history- Running With the Devil and You're No Good. My husband played both CONSTANTLY! Only 2 songs I really dig by VH. This song was on MTV heavy rotation!

Alex inspired my use of Roto-Toms. The backflip was shown in reverse.

I'm 6 years old every time I hear this.

This album (1984) was brimming with good songs. Sadly, it was also the last for the old Van Halen. David left the band to go on and do his solo stuff. Van Halen snagged Sammy as the new front man. Old Van Halen gone, new Van Halen not bad at all, but different than before. This one is bittersweet.

This album was the first LP I ever bought.

the solo is so short and so sweet

You guys got the beats!!!

Van Halen was a fun rock group

Sometimes ya just want to sing along to a fun song. This is one of em. Dance the Night Away is another from VH.

The bands only number 1 single from the album 1984 which peaked at number 2, MJ's Thriller kept it from the top spot.

It came out the year I got married. What else is there to say, except that it's one of my heart's favourites. : )

Eddie with the smile❤

I remember CBS Sports using "Jump" as the interlude music during the NCAA Final Four Tournament broadcasts in I think 1984, or so, Remember Brent Musberger?

This was THE song of the 80's. Everything good about the 80's is in this song and video. It was the perfect time to be a kid. It really seemed like anything was possible. Then grunge came along with its Debbie Downer vibes and all of a sudden it was totally not cool to be happy. Van Halen did it right.

David Lee Roth was in top physical condition . He holds black belts in 3 different martial arts .

Haven't read thru all the comments... at the risk of repeating someone else, David Lee Roth was by far top 3 if not number one of the greatest Rock & Roll bands front man! Saw them from the late 70's first album and stadium tours he never got old on stage. Always a performer 🤘🏻

I remember in 1984 or so WGN TV was using this song in there televised Chicago Cubs broadcast. That is how widespread it was. No word on how Harry Caray liked it but I bet he would have enjoyed pronouncing their name backwards as he was wont to do.

Speaking of Michael Jackson, Eddie played guitar on his Thriller album, or a few songs. MJ asked Pete Townshend of the Who to record it but he couldnt so he suggested Eddie to do it, and he did.

No doubt, David Roth was an athletic showman.. Hell Yeah

Van Halen was just fun. For me, it was never the same after David Lee Roth left. Right behind Freddie Mercury, he was the ultimate Rock Star. Their lyrics are fairly shallow but they had Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing to elevate them in importance.

I can tell you what most your subbers will say, the same thing I am...this is their classic hit that was my introduction to them as well!.. Memory lane all day long baby!! lol VanHalen is more an 80s band because they wasnt really known until this song.

"I'LL WAIT" is my fav of the album... "PANAMA" is good too....

I was 13 when this came out, and I loved it back then. It hasn't aged as one of my favorite VH songs, maybe one of my least favorite outside the VH3 album. A combination of over-saturation over the decades, and just not the true essence of Van Halen.

Drop Dead Legs by Van Halen, from this same album, is a really funky, slinky, dirty (in a good way) song. I think you guys would enjoy it.

That prechorus /solo passage is hard idc ha

My dad made an excellent point that for most of Van Helen's existence the synth and piano parts have been the hit makers. Yes, Eddie is a guitar virtuoso and guitar nerds worship at his shrines, but normies remember the synth hook.

Eddie Van Halen played the guitar on Michael Jackson’s song “Beat it” 🎸🥁🔥💣

Since you asked.....It was a big change in style, but it was still Van Halen to me. Even when Eddie played harder rock, he stood out with good melodies and endless types of note creation/manipulation. I seem to recall this video was kind of a joke, because Eddie is playing a keyboard in the song, but he has a guitar in the video.

The beginning of the Synth laden Van Halen Era. Much more Poppy than their earlier material..

This song is all about Eddie. RIP.

80s music gives me a special feeling. Growing up in the 80s you feel so protected. The world was so different in 1984.

This was one of the first albums I ever bought, love every song! I had heard VH before cuz I had an older sister who had their earlier albums. I like all Van Halen, either Diamond Dave or Sammy Hagar. Love the video too, even though it was played constantly back then. I’d like to request some Tesla, either “What you give” or “Modern day cowboy” preferably both!

I do love the 70s stuff a little better not much but I love this song this it’s a mood changer and party starter

😎👍

Best front man ever

David Lee Roth is a very accomplished martial artist this the hoops in the video with the kicks

David Lee Roth was an MMA athlete, that's why he could kick so high. Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen (drums), obviously brothers. Great old video.

If you didnt have this album in 1984-85, you weren't there! Lol

I loved older Van Halen...never saw them because it was near impossible to get tickets.

Well this sub loves this whole album!! I think a lot of VH fans love their first album from the late 70s AND this one (& the ones in between). The divide comes after this album when they lose David Lee Roth and get Sammy Haggar. Then the music does noticeably change. So it's Van Halen vs 'Van Hagar'. I'm definitely Van Halen w/David Lee Roth side, but there were some good Van Hagar songs, too.

David Lee Roth is a life time martial artist. I heard he's for reals

👍

5 weeks billboard no 1 early 1984

I was down with this album...they were keeping up with the times

I love the synth riff on this track. I know people who really don't like this particular era. They also dislike the Rush synth era, so at least they are consistent 😊. Maybe try out "Unchained" Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️
