Alex Van Halen and Michael Anthony never get enough credit for being a bedrock rhythm section that provided a playground of grooves for Eddie to go wild on. Let's also not forget the iconic harmonies Anthony was able to perform to bring choruses to the next level.

Fair Warning is my personal favorite VH album, with Mean Street being the best song IMO. The whole album is a much darker, heavier VH. This album, and the next album, Diver Down, was the beginning of the end for Eddie's and David Lee Roth's relationship. They had a huge personality conflict mostly centered around "creative differences". They would get back together for a couple of tours and another album (A Different Kind of Truth- GREAT album BTW), but could never iron out their differences enough to stay together long term. Keep up the great reaction videos!

England had Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Queen, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple but America had Aerosmith, Boston, Kiss and Zappa, but no one had the image and the talent like Van Halen. It’s like they were made in a lab to rock and sell platinum records!

@@1199ccttv Technically I didn't say Van Halen was more talented than Zappa, I said they had the image and talent. Music is a business where you're selling an image as much as you're selling talent and sound and Van Halen had everything for press tours and magazine covers. Zappa is a musicians God, as he should be, but the 80's hair and glam bands were trying to reproduce the Van Halen formula in some way of one guy with blonde hair and 3 guys with dark hair, or to switch it up 3 guys with blonde hair and one with blonde hair, trying to look as cool as DLR, trying to sound as fast as Eddie. As far as talent, if Allan Holdsworth looked more like a rockstar he'd be on top 10 lists instead of Buckethead but life isn't fair!

Great catch by Lex that Mean Street has a “70’s vibe.” The main riff and the bridge were pieced together from earlier songs the band had written in their club days during the 70’s. David Lee Roth’s lyrics were inspired by what he witnessed on a trip he had to Haiti. When it all came together in the Fair Warning sessions, Mean Street was the result including the slap bass style Intro that Eddie wrote for the song.

From what I remember Dave left over the musical direction they were going in. Eddie wanted to use more synths and go in a more pop direction and Dave wanted to stick with the harder stuff. Could be wrong, I don't really pay attention to that kind of stuff although if it's true it's kind of weird the direction Dave went with his solo stuff. I'm sure there were a lot of other things, lots of head butting in this band over the years, my best friend worked for their management company and had to deal with them all the time, she was pretty happy when they went somewhere else, lots of drama.

Things changed BIG TIME when Eddie played the rest of the band demos with all the instruments made by him and Donn Landee for the 1984 album . That's when Ed became the leader of the band . And Ed wasn't trying to be the leader , he just wanted to make music with NO COVER TUNES .

You 2 really do great. Love how Brad is slowly getting into rock from his earlier react videos. Lexi is Lexi. Beautiful and so much joy radiating from her face as she hears songs. She really points out things I never thought of and Brad adds things as well. You guys have a loyal fan here. Keep it up!

David Lee Roth is the ultimate showman of that era. Eddie Van Halen is the GOAT of guitars. David wanted the band to go in a different direction than Eddie.

David Lee Roth has always been wild. The other guys just could not keep up with him. I love that he became an EMT in NYC. My favorite quote from him is, "Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it."

Have no doubt about it. Eddie is one of the all time greats. I put him up there with the other greats that includes SRV. You heard Texas Flood by SRV it is good but not my favorite. Try "Voodoo Child" Austin City Limits, "Rude Mood' "Little Wing" Live 1983 and "Couldn't Stand The Weather". Not to mention that he broke a string during a live performance Doing "Little Sister" at Austin city limits and had to change guitars with out missing a beat.

In many ways, Fair Warning is perhaps the most underrated of the Mk I Van Halen albums. It features not only this gem, but the tracks "Unchained", "Push Comes To Shove" and 'So This Is Love". It's worth digging into.
