FIRST TIME HEARING Van Halen - Hot For Teacher (Official Music Video) REACTION | SCHOOL WAS LIT! 😱

[@RyneMurray23]

They kill this song. Alex is just driving the song forward with those drums, and Eddie is killing the guitar.

[@Prone2Thrill]

Alex really does shine on this track!

[@slearl]

I agree. It's so easy to dig on their cringe video antics, but musically they were killing it - drums, guitars, and Roth with his voice.

[@MetalMcfly]

This guitar is not the same one in the 86 solo video. That one was the 5150 Kramer used for that album, this one is his original Frankenstrat guitar he built using numerous parts of of other guitars to create his original sound. This guitar was retired after this album/tour (1984) and wasn't brought back on tour until 2007 when they had their reunion with David Lee Roth. I was lucky enough to see it on Nov. 1st 2007 as I bought the 5 star VIP package for the Wash. D.C. Verizon Center show which came with a backstage pass, Stage tour, meet and greet and we got to tour both instrument huts on each side (Guitars/bass). Inside Ed's hut on a makeshift table was this legendary guitar being re-strung to get ready for showtime.

[@wyattjeter7891]

This is actually another Kramer of his, just look up the "Hot for Teacher Guitar." It was part of the first fleet of Eddie's Kramer guitars along with his 5150 and 1984 guitars with several others.

[@ffjsb]

Fun fact, the dance scenes with the band took a long time to shoot, because while Alex has impeccable timing on drums, he couldn't dance very well.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

🤣 he's a mess. Hard to believe someone with so much rhythm can't dance to save his life.

[@Bikebrh]

As you can see, he never could get it right, so they ended up going with what they had, which was funny in itself, Alex constantly turning the wrong way and bumping into people.

[@larrydavis3270]

Must be something with drummers. I've been drumming for over 30 years and can't dance a bit!

[@jameshendrickson8159]

Eddie was trashed also. No vote of confidence... but mad skills

[@PJBonoVox]

@@larrydavis3270 Same. I'd like to think I'm pretty good but can't dance for shit.

[@Coolrockndad]

The teach is played by Lillian Muller the 1976 Playmate of the Year. She is the same woman in Rod Stewards video "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy".

[@glennwisniewski9536]

Playmate of the Month, Aug. 1975, but POY in 1976, but who's counting? She was in her early 30s when she did this video and thought she was a bit old for the role. I see no problem here. And she plays the Phys. Ed. teacher, not the Chemistry one as some people think.

[@tenbones1274]

You're talking about the Frankenguitar - he literally built that guitar himself from parts. It's legendary.

[@davidolson2729]

Frankenstein or Frankenstrat.

[@mjb0183]

Have you ever seen that guitar up close? There are ugly routing rut gaps around the pickups and wires sticking out of it, from his mods………And it sounds AWESOME! 😀

[@suzieredfoxfur6982]

Frankenstrat will always be my favorite..

[@jewls9697]

@@mjb0183 Eddie also had a couple patents on a couple of those things he made out of junk! Even in his spare time, he just loved guitars! I read he was jamming on something & I can't remember who, but they said plug my guitar into that. He said mine don't sound like that. That's bcuz it was Eddie, his special built guitar & the unique way he played a guitar, it wasn't the amp! Eddie will always be the GOAT!! R.I.P Eddie Van Halen!! 🌹

[@SvenTviking]

This was played on a vintage Gibson Flying V.

[@Neotron2001]

Yesterday, January 26 was Eddie Van Halen's birthday. Today is W.A. Mozart's birthday. Crazy how 2 similar geniuses of their craft were born 1 day apart. BTW, the guitar's name is Frankenstein. 😎🤘🎶

[@antoinettelopes]

I mean this is the stuff we grew up on. I was 10 and Mtv was on all day long at my house. Everyone loved this video, even the grownups. I literally sat here and said the dialogue along with it because I know it better than my social security number. So you can imagine how it is for some of us every time we hear about how things are "inappropriate" or someone gets cancelled. My eyes nearly roll right out of my head. 🙄 I felt much more comfortable in the world when teenage boys wanted to boink their stripper teachers. It made a hell of a lot more sense. That's for sure. I was watching another reaction to "Panama", I think it was LFR Family, and I wanted to cry because they don't make men like Dave anymore. 😢

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

Yup we loved this video. It was so much fun. Hate the bullying part but it's necessary for a fake video, not real life. I know of a 12 year old who committed suicide because of school bullying and isolation.

[@bryanjohnson8796]

Your absolutely rightantoinettelopes this is every boys fantasy come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LA-fz5qw]

This is such a classic classic video back when MTV used to play great music videos in the 80s

[@BirchLeafPhotography]

Google "Eddie Van Halen's 12 most famous guitars." He had an entire collection of them. He was a master

[@christineharris5697]

That guitar he called Frankenstein, he added stuff on his own from other guitars and put the stripes on it. His son Wolfgang received it when Eddie passed.

[@russellnikolaus6811]

This one is not THE frankenstrat, this is his Kramer 5150

[@kylesommerville3716]

@@russellnikolaus6811 ikr literally no one gets it right 😂. The franken strat looks nothing like his 5150 or other kramers

[@LS-wn5cd]

David Lee Roth made some other entertaining videos to go along with his solo songs like "Just A Gigolo", "Yankee Rose", "California Girls", Just Like Paradise", "Crazy from the Heat" and "Tobacco Road"

[@halftag15]

FYI Eddie performed Beat it with Michael Jackson. He is the guitarist on the original song.

[@jewls9697]

Eddie actually asked Michael Jackson if he could change a few things in yhe song with the guitar & Michael told him to do whatever he felt! Now that's when you know you're good. Eddie didn't even really care about the fame of it. He just loved & had the best time of his life with guitars!!

[@Robert-tc1bt]

The Frankenstrat was originally white and black, its a fender, Eddie built it in 1974, in 1979 he painted it red. 1983 he went to a Kramer 5150 that resembles the Frankenstrat. VH II Bumble Bee is pretty cool, black and yellow.

[@danreed5171]

Eddie Van Halen played that guitar in Michael Jackson's ' Beat it'

Love going back to the days bro....keep the old schools coming...My bus was also 2711 lol

They’re seriously like the most talented clowns ever, lol! We used to love this video, and the hard drums are amazing!

[@Carrinthe]

When this came out I had this english teacher, she was in her late 20's and drop dead gorgeous,... so I can can relate to this song so very much :)

[@SirKidYubYub]

More fun facts - the guitar in this video was sold for $3.9 mil at auction. The yellow Ford was also sold at auction. The teachers dancing around are Lillian Muller, a Norwegian model and Donna Rupert, Miss Canada - 1st runner-up. Also, the high school is John Marshall High. It was closed down due to funding issues. After filming, the band donated money to get it reopened.

[@djdelugach2402]

Back in the early MTV days, this video made Van Halen into superstars...Hilarious and a wee bit naughty, we finally got to see just how awesome they were as musicians...Eddie Van Halen is a legendary guitarist, and singer Diamond Dave was such a lovable ham...Their album "1984" sold a zillion copies, and I feel is their signature album...RIP Eddie

[@soofitnsexy]

and their last record lets be honest

[@davidhorn6950]

Eddie Van Halen Buried His Famed Guitar With Dimebag Darrell

[@russellnikolaus6811]

yes the Black n Yellow Bumble Bee - its in the Van Halen II album sleaves. EVH loved the look of that guitar but didn't sound the way he wanted it too, that guitar was used to experiment with the Floyd Rose Tremelo

[@oogiesdaddy012]

This is from the 1984 album, still their best album to date.

[@emcsquared8681]

Still say the first one was the best.

[@oogiesdaddy012]

Great pick, my #2

[@bobravenscraft5376]

No not the best. POLISHED

[@kevinmalone2218]

I saw Van Halen open for the Doobie Brothers back in the day. I was there to see the Doobie Brothers but I was blown away by Van Halen!

[@mikefetterman6782]

Eddie took the parts from Charvel, Fender strat, and Gibson les Paul guitars and built several of his own. This would be the same one from Jump, and from the Eruption solo you saw, but the original album was done with other guitars. According to Eddie, he had dozens of guitars and hundreds of parts. He did not like the strict sounds you could get from each and combined them with a Floyd Rose tremelo system to do dive bombs, to get his sound.

[@sumonjamal1653]

The guitar that Eddie Van Halen had in the video was his signature Red Frakenstrat guitar... the original guitar he had made from parts of different guitars that he put together. This one he designed w/ Fender Guitars, I believe... In later Van Halen videos, Eddie switched to the Music Man EVH guitar by Ernie Ball, which u see in the Van Halen videos for 'Poundcake' and 'Right now'. He moved on to Wolfgang EVH guitar by Peavy Guitars in the late 90's, when Van Halen's popularity went into decline... From this Van Halen album '1984' ... u can check out the songs 'Panama' ... "I'll wait" (Eddie plays keyboards on this) and 'Drop dead legs'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘With David Lee Roth on vocals, check out the songs "Ain't talkin' bout love" ... "Everybody wants some" ... 'Dance the night away'. ...and Sammy Hagar on vocals, try Van Halen's - 'Dreams' ... "When it's love" ... 'Right now' ... 'Poundcake' ... 'Finish what ya started'

[@russellnikolaus6811]

Its not THE Frankenstrat

[@robertbreedon9137]

Man time flies I was 17 when this came album out (yes vinyl ) in 1984.

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Ed even brought a guitar to a crime scene lol. I can see it Now. Ed. Oh my god. This needs a solo VH forever!!!!!

[@flave3453]

The guitar is called a Frankenstrat. Eddie used the body of a Fender Stratocaster, that’s a model, put in a different neck and pick ups. In essence he built his monster. The Frankenstrat 🎸

[@tonyarenee531]

OMG I hated riding on a bus to School!!!!! Kids can be so mean! But Yeah LOVE THIS One of My Fav's With VH!!!!! MTV WAS ROCKIN BACK IN THE 80'S 💛💛💛💛💛

[@thesilverhawaiian5024]

“Panama” next for sure or “mean street”

[@stevenarroyo8023]

Eddie has always used that guitar, the only difference it's the numbers that it had in the eruption video which was the name of the first album they made with Sammy hagger as lead singer. Keep up the good work. 💪

[@Iknowthelaw13]

Every young drummer tries to learn Alex's double kick shuffle in this tune when they first start playing.

[@grahamokeefe9406]

I love the way they half-ass the dance moves.

[@cheenu711]

Btw my guy, that guitar was custom built by EVH himself. Like he actually took a body and neck for 150 bucks put a guitar pickup from his other Gibson guitar. He spray painted the body too. That guitar basically created a new kind of guitar that became the benchmark for the 80s and beyond. This major innovation is just a little piece of what he left us guitar players with after he passed away in 2020. A true legend in every sense of the word. I envy people who got to see him live.

[@irishmedic]

Great video bro! Ya, that was Eddie Van Halen's #1 guitar! Red with white stripes across it!

[@Tom-ee3gs]

May be already said in previous comments below ...Eddie VH played the Guitar Solo in Michael Jacksons "Beat it"...one of his best

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

Yeah, that's the same guitar you saw in the eruption solo. Eddie always used that same guitar, just like SRV always used his famous guitar. Another good song you could check out from Van Halen is Mean Street.

[@lisaheathcock7924]

It’s called “FrankenStrat” because he built it himself 🔥💜🤘

The story they told back in the day was that it was mimicking the idle of Eddie's Lamborghini.

[@russellboynton8798]

@@Bikebrh now that you say that I remember something along those lines. Sounds more like a drag racing engine. At least to me.

[@jamminjeeper5854]

He had many custom Kramer guitars. The one you saw in the eruption video with the 5150 on it was when Sammy Hagar was lead vocal and that album was titled 5150. This was back in 1984/5

It’s Eddie’s signature guitar the “Frankenstrat” he built himself!

[@LanceThompsonKssooner]

That guitar 🎸 is buried with Dimebag Darryl (from Pantera). He was one of Eddie's biggest fans and he asked for a copy to be made. Unfortunately, he was killed before Eddie got it made. So he buried him with the original.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

Rock In Peace Eddie Van Halen

[@victorramsey5575]

OK, when you go down the Eddie Van Halen (EVH) guitar gear rabbit hole you better bring some food. Its a long and twisty trip. He had several guitars that all had that red/black/white stripe theme. There was also a black/white striped one and a yellow/black striped one called the Bumblebee. That one is very special. But one of his most iconic guitars was a red/black/white striped one that he built from scratch. Its called the Frankenstrat (a Stratocaster, or "Strat", is a Fender product but many many companies have copied it). The Frankenstrat had a selector switch and springs mounted in a body cavity just to confuse people. They didnt actually do anything. The Bumblebee was Eddie's main guitar for a time in the late 70s. Many classic Van Halen songs were recorded and performed with it. In 2004 Dimebag Darrell, founding member and guitarist for Pantera, was shot and killed on stage. At the funeral Eddie Van Halen placed the Bumblebee in a compartment built into Dime's custom made Kiss coffin. Eddie cried while paying his respects to Dime. RIP Eddie, Dime and Vinnie

[@Hipstar42]

[@TheMichaelseymour]

that guitar was called a "frankfurter " ....eddie thought of it after eating a hot dog ...he thought - "What if i put hot dog length stripes all over my guitar " ...when crowds were small in the early days ..he would have a mobile hot dog stand - he even did this before some sammy hagar shows .

[@BANONEGuitar]

All the guitars you guys are talking about are different. In the Jump video, he’s using his homemade Frankenstrat. In this video he’s using a Kramer that recently sold for like $3.9 million, and in the 1986 solo you watched, he’s using his Kramer “5150.”

[@nauseantrock532]
