Hey Chod... Van Halen has a lot of gems like this scattered through their albums. Most of the hits that got played on radio a lot were the "Van Halen sound" but they did a lot of different types of songs. Dig deep, you're sure to find some other songs you like a lot. Oh yeah, and as a drummer too I can tell you Alex Van Halen is crazy good. He has a great groove and pocket and can also bring the heat when he needs to. I was a senior in high school when Van Halen's first album came out and immediately loved Alex's drumming.

Eddie was more musical than any other talent he had. The subtlety & nuance in this track proves it. And the whole band were played just as freaking good. The lyrics. The bass. The drums. This is peak Van Halen.

Van Halen had a huge variety of sounds, they really didn't box themselves into 1 thing. Yes, Jump, Panama, Hot For Teacher are some of the big blockbusters, but they have so many different sounding songs. Listen to Little Guitars, for an acoustic Spanish guitar style intro, for example. He didn't always shred the guitar, he was amazing on melodies, rythms and funky sounds too. Definitely try Little Guitars, it's a huge fan favorite.

Absolutely Chod! This was the band whose music was played on boom boxes every day on the bus- so cool you picked up on that. It’s the whole reason I know this song.. it’s not even a deep cut to me.. it just was part of Van Halen in general. This album was so huge - you kinda had to know most of the songs.

I'd also like to suggest you check out Eddie's son, Wolfgang Van Halen...his band is Mammoth WVH. His song "Don't Back Down' is incredible. He joined Van Halen as the bassist at 16 years old, plays all the instruments on his album and has an incredible voice. He's not a Van Halen replica, he has his own style, but it is rock. Watch 'Don't Back Down' first, then if you want a amazing, heartfelt song about his dad and his relationship, (they were best friends), watch 'Distance". If you don't cry then you're dead inside, lol. It's his only song that isn't a rocker, but it's beautiful. The video is filled with old family video starting when he was born and his dad taking care of him, up to the end..it's amazing.

It's interesting to note, to all the drummers out there, that alex always played the drums to Eddie's guitar groove which is why people always think of Al as playing slightly behind the beat... Ed and al were the rythm section with the bass filling in the gaps.

VH’s “1984” album spawned a few massive hits , but some of my favourite songs were lesser known ones like this one. Another lesser known one from the album is “I’ll Wait”. A constant driving beat that I think a hip hop fan would appreciate.

Ed was listening to tons of Allan Holdsworth, an insanely gifted virtuoso jazz fusion guitarist, when they recorded this, and it clearly influenced his solo work on this song. Your saxophone reference makes total sense and you're right on the money. This one of my under the radar faves from the might Van Halen.

@JTCox Жыл бұрын

Eddie was very influenced by fusion guitarist Allan Holdsworth when this album came out, so fusion was big on this, plus their dad Jan Van Halen shredded jazz clarinet. Check out “Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now” from the Diver Down album.

That solo was straight up jazz fusion, and as many of times that I’ve heard this song, because I’m watching and listening to it as a reaction, I’m catching myself begin to catch parts and sounds that I’d never paid attention to before. Wow he surely was awesome! BTW Chod, one of EVH’s influences at the the time was the late great Allan Holds worth who wanted to make his guitar parts and solos sound like a saxophone.

Great reaction. Your take was more spot-on than you know. Eddie was inspired by AC/DC on this one, and he described it in recent years as "almost a jazz version of Back In Black", with a similar beat, maybe a tad slower. This is one of my favorite VH songs too, and it stands out in its distinctiveness. And yes, VH was on top of the world and perhaps THE premiere rock band in 1984, in high schools and beyond.

It chronicles the bands time during the lock down years....quickly...lol.

I think you mentioned that you’ve noticed that Van Halen has two sides musically, a softer side and a more aggressive side. That is the difference between Van Halen with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. Van Halen prior to 1986 was headed up with Dave. Which is the real Van Halen. Sammy stepped in around 86. While he was a good fit and they put out good music they were never the same. Many called the band Van Haggar post Sammy. David Lee Roth was the legend. And the music with Roth is legendary.

From a drumming point of view, the most distinct thing about Alex to me is the insanely dry snare sound! Why Alex does that I don't know but it sets him apart from even Neil Peart IMO. Isolate that snare sound and then duplicate it. You will enjoy drumming that much more I think.
