Fair Warning is just PEAK Van Halen. It’s raunchy, sleazy, dark, funky goodness! This is most Van Halen fans’ favorite album. It’s just delicious…

[@jamesmick8653]

Fans of VH that are serious musicians typically swoon over this album. Masterpiece.

[@artis1969]

My favorite album. Crunchy and dark. Eddie at his creative best. Hear About It Later is one of my favorites. Very underrated song. So This Is Love is also a great song.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Hear about it later AND light up the sky are my 2 favorites from VH

[@jamesmick8653]

I'm a guitarist and hard-core Eddie Van Halen devotee. How you reacted to listening to this for the first time is how I still react to it after 43 years. Fair Warning is a masterpiece, and my go-to Van Halen album. Eddie Van Halen's delivery was simultaneously somehow the meanest, most aggressive, funkiest, and the groovin'-est of any rock guitarist ever. He is alone in those aspects. The guitar work (among all other aspects of the tecording) in Hear About It Later make it my favorite Van Halen song. It's beautiful and unreal. Check it out.

[@ianjones2731]

Found your channel tonight and binge watched, man as an OG Van Halen tragic I get such a kick outta seeing people discover the VH magic for the first time and appreciate it!!! ❤👍

The song "Push Comes To Shove" on this same album is definitely a vibe. Actually pretty different than anything they've done. Funky rhythm clean guitar tone.

[@gotyour6guitars]

Sub'd and liked. Great to see this young man discover the mighty VH today and enjoy it as much as I did when I first heard it back when I was in HS in the 80's. This album inspired me to pick up the guitar. Eddie was a phenom. Rock on Mug!

[@danarchuleta1154]

Eddie was so transcendent with his playing that he could literally play random progressions that meld into the melody. Eddie spent more time on the writing of Fair Warning and it shows despite it's comparative lower sales ranking. Eddie's the King of rock guitar in my book and this is a guitar player's album. You've got a great ear Mugnified!

[@Jmgdtfan]

You’re not wrong.

[@toddcaylor370]

Glad to see another become enthralled with the sheer brilliance of this album. Edwards masterwork, as well as the whole group. Also Edwards second slide guitar appearance on record. Fun fact: While recording this in the studio, Edward became frustrated that the bottom horn on his Gibson SG didn't give him the room to slide up the fretboard as high as he wanted to, so right there in the studio, he took a hack-saw to it and just cut it off.🤣

[@jamesmick8653]

True story. A white Gibson SG.

[@chrisbrimhall1613]

As a teenager ager growing up in the 70’s great bands were abundant, most now in the HOF. We had VH, LED ZEPPELIN, EAGLES, JOUNEY, BOSTON, BAD COMPANY, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, THE CARS, TED NUGENT….just to name a few……one common thing was they were left alone to create and develop there albums…..not so much anymore. Might be a good idea to deep dive into the decade of the 70’s… could be a revelation

I almost forgot what a killer groove Dirty Movies truly had. Again...Fair Warning was VH's most underrated immediate classic. Of ALL TIME. While rock radio played it safe spinning " Unchained "...We were thouroughly appreciating VH AT THEIR PRIME. With this song. 😅Before Dave destroyed the VH brand. And. Sound. From this legendary. Timeless classic. That Diver Down. And 1984. Will NEVER have for me. With 1 Word. INTEGRITY!!! Before I forget...the lyrics describe first pwrson accounts of a young lady's journey. In both...The Strip Clubs. And. The slew of pornographic filth of the 1970s y 1980s movies. Used to play this song during every gratuitous sex scene Hollywood would sneak in ALL of the popular movies of the day. The bass line covered the depth. Y. Tempo. Of the act. While Eddie's guitar work translated the emotional connections to each soul tie formed on the surface. THE MOST FUNKIEST GROOVE EVER PRESSED ON VINYL! PERIOD!!! The drums were so perfectly timed to that foundational bass, that... All Dave had to do was... SING!!! Too bad this formula didn't follow towards Eddie's unfortunate passing a few years back. Fait Warning. A VH LEGENDARY CLASSIC!!! Do Sinner's Swing. And. Saturday Afternoon In The Park. So This Is Love is ANOTHER killer groove. Very much like Dirty Movies. On Side 2. 3rd cut. ENJOY These Tasty Morsels of Ear Candy. You'll be hooked FOR LIFE!!! PEACE ✌️

[@e.l.norton]

Eddie played drums before guitar, and that sensibility, that percussive engine is what drives his rhythm playing. He plays rhythm like a six-string drummer, and his brother threads that needle with him in his drumming. That is the heartbeat of Van Halen, and this song is a beautiful example of that.

[@tremdog]

I’d suggest “Push Comes To Shove” as your next listen.

[@middleamerica646]

I was 15 when this album dropped. Not to mention all the other bands that were vibing new albums like AC/DC, Rush, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Scorpions, man… What a time to be alive.

[@big106razor]

This VH journey keeps getting better!

[@robroooal4930]

Many great guitarists of the era bowed to Van Halen and this album and moreover this song demonstrated why it was so. Light Years ahead of them all. Sheer brilliance. Magic in a bottle.

[@Daddy53751]

There’s a quote from the movie “Waiting” where one of the greatest thinkers of our time Ryan Reynolds speaks about Eddie’s guitar on this song, “ITS SO ANGRY!”🤘🏻

[@sirrobin4394]

This is the hidden gem of the album. Love it.

[@steve-hr9jf]

You’re figuring out their musical genius. Awesome reaction! I guess “sinners swing “ is next, then “so this is love”. I recommend if you dig this watch this album live 1981 Oakland to get the band visually, you won’t be disappointed

[@doug_nu_york4853]

My favorite VH album hands down !!!!

[@rognroll2786]

Peak…great description! I feel like I haven’t heard anything quite like VH since the good old days…

[@BeatniksVids]

This album and the one before it (W&CF) are their best and much darker than the fluffier stuff later.

[@chrisw647]

I'm an afficianado of their first four, but honestly, if I remove 'Jump," "I'll Wait" & "Pretty Woman" from their last 2 albums with DLR, they're pretty much perfect, & even 2 of those 3 "bad" songs still have redeeming guitar solos in them. "Top Jimmy," is one of those fluffier songs you hardly hear anyone talk about or react to, yet it has blistering guitar work throughout & somel funny & catchy lyrics & is still better than anything they ever did with Sammy, imo. Makes me sad to think of all the great music we missed out on after DLR left. I still remember an interview with EVH & DLR in the early 80s where EVH said he'd just record his guitar tracks, give them to Dave, & Dave would come up with most of the lyrics with an occasional alteration here & there by Eddie, & that this allowed Ed all the creative powers on guitar that he could want. When DLR left, they didn't write their music that way any more, EVH even said they went to a more "traditional" method (lyrics/vocal arrangements first, guitar backing 2nd). This allowed them to write much more "commercially acceptable" sounding music but totally changed their sound & dynamics, & they became predictable & formulaic with Sammy which they hadn't been with Roth. I see their 5th & 6th albums as just a band evolving a little more but with still a great direction, & instead it just stopped 😭

[@thomastaylor9579]

again, bumping this out of my 68' VW back in 1983 High School parking lot, man, them were the day's, the bug was primer gray of course, one piece windows. Then my chick drove it and wrecked it on the first rainy day of the year, out here in sunny SoCal...Lol

All had hot rods.... VW 😂😂😂😂😂 Maybe Prince not Van Halen

[@thomastaylor9579]

okay, where do hot rods come into play, I had a 68 VW that was my mom's first car she ever owned, may she rest in peace, and so when i got my license ,she gifted me it, and i had Auto shop so i would work on it at school, so "WTF" are you talking about@@rickjeffjeffoh, and btw jeff, Eddie did own a SoCal VW look it up in " Hot VW's " Magazine

[@tjmasson1013]

This song is soooo good. Such a dark feel. Winds thru like a snake thru the grass.

[@SteveDay-s5j]

Mr. Mugnify, you said he's "settin the mood" and mentioned relationships, "wonder what's going on in his life?" Let's see: he's a Rockstar (literally), goes town to town meeting women, hit em and quit em, adored and cheered by millions, never married, climbs mountains, hikes the Amazon, etc. Also, incredibly lucky to have met Ed and Al. I'd say his life is just fine, thanks. Love your reactions and welcome to the party. You have a fan here.

[@elroz1675]

that's one of the several differences between Eddie and superfast guitar players. Many of them can't write riffs and melodies and put them together like this.

[@kirbybailey607]

I'm so excited that your going through this album, Van Halen has it going on.thanks Mugnify!!!!!

[@softhotty]

Loved your reaction ! Van Halen was like Super Hero status for us kids back in the day ! " The group" of my youth. Ed changed the Rock-n Roll landscape...he absolutely did.

What a fabulous reaction, Mugs!! Can't wait for the next one! I really appreciate the fact you recognize what a great album this is. Just be advised; when you get to the end, there's two very short songs that normally get played together -Sunday Afternoon In The Park and One Foot Out The Door. Peace and See you in the next one!!! VH forever!

[@robelson3078]

I was 14 when this album was released. Just like the 3 VH records released prior, nothing else at the time sounded like this. This is what I and many people my age grew up on. And this is why people my age consider modern music to be trash. Ok, old man done ranting. Y’all stay off my lawn and we’ll be cool 😎 😂

So glad to see you appreciate this. Not many in the mainstream would like this, but Eddie is just creating something special with each song on this album. Some just hear the words and think it's a goofy song, but they ain't really LISTENING! Edit: Should have went right into Sinners Swing

I'm lucky to have been a teenager and young adult during Van Halen's heydays. I saw them live in 1982, 1984, 1991, and 1998. The first 2 were with David Lee Roth, who is singing on this album. Just imagine this awesome music being blasted (sound from Michael Anthony's bass solo hit my chest so hard I thought I might have a heart attack) throughout a stadium with thousands of screaming fans.

[@briand7448]

Yeah man! That was a great reaction to one of my favorite songs

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Probably the darkest, most introspective VH album. A few songs in dropped D tuning, makes them sound heavier and darker than standard tuning. Eddie would continue to write quite a few numbers in that tuning. The slide guitar on the intro (and towards the end of the song), Eddie said he took a hacksaw to his Les Paul guitar to slice off the cutaway so that he could reach high enough to hit the notes. Something a lot of people missed was that Van Halen had swing. Monsterous swing. I doubt Eddie and Alex could play without swing! Heard countless players attempt to replicate it, but honestly, very few have even come close to the natural feel these guys had. People always want to pigeonhole a band or an artist, but these guys had so much going on, it's truly unique.
