VAN HALEN - HEAR ABOUT IT LATER (REACTION!!!)

[@themadcow71]

Girl Gone Bad is a real underrated epic VH song.

[@mattharvey968]

Been trying to get him to react to that one and House of Pain

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

@@mattharvey968 Those 2 need to be played back-to-back, just like on the LP

[@mattharvey968]

@@B-a-t-m-a-n couldn’t agree more!!!👊🏻

[@slipstreammonkey]

Girl Gone Bad and House of Pain are DISGUSTING! Leave one with the permanent stink face.

[@davidleeroth784]

House of pain as well. Heard it played at a concert I went too.

[@brianoneil9662]

Roth isn't a technical singer but he owns this song (with help from M.A. on those punches) Love seeing somebody appreciate "Fair Warning". A lot of people called it weak, 'too dark'. Me, it's my favorite VH album start to finish

[@teeoh9192]

DLR has never sounded better than when he does that middle eight, "You can try me at home..."part! There's an isolated track video on YT where you can REALLY hear how good he sounds. Too bad he didn't take live singing as seriously as he did in the studio...

[@johnthornton7421]

@@teeoh9192 so true. To obliterated on stage besides that Oakland show lol

[@TheAgentAssassin]

There was a guy in youtube that cut together all of Roth's high pitched screams. Sound pretty awesome. A sober studio Roth is unmatched.

[@chopperdeath]

Hard to imagine that this album is too weak. It's my favorite personally. The bass tones are the best from the DLR era.

[@robertdefex3439]

That is the greatest sounding guitar intro

[@samuraijacques952]

I think Fair Warning just might be my favorite VH album

[@scottcoleman5088]

Jay "light up the sky" will blow your mind!

[@floorticket]

I love the ending. That triple ascending phrase thing.

[@DER5150]

Another absolute banger from this album is Dirty Movies!

[@scottcoleman5088]

Jay "Eddie dont play" the 81 tour was called WDFA tour WE DONT FUCK AROUND Tour!

[@sirrobin4394]

Glad you're digging into this album - it's one of their best!

[@RareHarmony]

Me Wise Magic by Van Halen! Thanks! Eddie kills it in that song.

[@re8746]

FW is my favorite VH album. The entire album is nothing but deep cuts.

[@odinquincannon4237]

Probably my favorite Song from my favorite band. So many VH fans favorite. Surprised you didn’t do the famous live video.

[@evhleppard]

Dirty Movies is a great hidden gem on this album.

[@reknstudios1239]

Drop dead legs is very good

[@Confare]

Van Halen Monday!! Great way to start the week!

[@claudioworld7367]

One of my favorites from vh

[@vellaropedart9190]

This song takes me back! Watched the sunrise at the beach while "waking and baking" to this song! It was perfect timing!

[@bobowrathsovine.]

The clean guitar intro is using an old MXR pedal. Either a phaser or flanger. Back then the frequency response would drop low when the pedal was activated just due to technological limitations of guitar pedals of the 1970's.

[@andrewcastillo3110]

Favorite album, favorite song.

[@MrBryanwithay]

My cousins, in Detroit, introduced me to Van Halen when I was 12 (1980). I was taking Banjo lessons at the time and was more into music that would be called "Pop" today (Shawn Cassidy/Beach Boys, etc...). The first time I heard Van Halen it was all over. I instantly fell in love. When Women and Children First came out I knew I was on the right path and when Fair Warning Came out I knew within my soul that I wanted to Rock and Roll and not just any old rock and roll. I wanted the cutting edge bad ass rock and roll!!!

[@phenbuz]

Fair Warning is The Best VH album......and Hear About it Later in my fav song FOREVER. Just it.

[@mikeralston777]

"You can try me at home, if it feels alright But I ain't home tonight."

[@realbser1956]

Another banger for VH Mondays. Keep it going Jay, lovin’ the ride with you.

[@stephensmith2736]

When you did unchain live this song is part of a three song set you need to check out. The 3 songs are all together.live.

[@RaiderRoy1020]

Fair Warning, is definitely my favorite V.H album. Depending on my mood, Woman and Children First, or V.H. II are my second favorite.

[@jimmyfreeman9133]

Fair Warning album is heavy John Coltrane influenced. Gotta love those usual constant vocal harmonies, also! Van Halen were very intriguing to me in how they never seemed to be confused where to go musically or why. They all came up with big band, jazz, swing musicians in the family. I recognized early how they would always put a couple of songs that were "nod to the old school". They were a stellar production. They were utmost professionals of their craft, I understand the only thing that got hurt was some people's feelings.

[@MRCATL3]

Love the the John Coltrane reference. This was an angry Eddie and a Roth who'd just came back from a stint in Haiti. Mean Street

[@markwilliam6959]

Like your analysis and seeing someone from another generation appreciate what they were serving up Peace

[@TheColdrush22]

It’s a Flandreau not a chorus, but he probably has a course in there somewhere too. Super super cool. Love this reaction.

[@rebelxxx3382]

Van halen - i can't get enough

[@victoriabrannon8453]

Yeah !!!! ya didn’t see the strength coming atcha did you? 😂😂😂.

[@patches6309]

Very glad you took up my suggestion my Brother!! I told you, the intro is hypnotic AF & the harmonies are exquisite with a badass bass line! So much awesome cowbell, oh yeah. Playlist Bruh, enjoy~

[@kellysmith3917]

Thanks for reacting to this song! Love this classic Eddie riff!!

[@E.ternalBTNH99]

Two songs that Al really stands out on Girl Gone Bad Outta Love Again Both great grooves too You should definitely react to those

[@benjerred]

The little cymbal hit in outta love again is a perfect little “buckle up” moment before the berserk solo

[@stevemcneill7154]

Damn the VH shit sounds good for Analog

[@kenhewitt7357]

Their best album in my view, full of bangers!!

[@mattharvey968]

House of Pain off of the 1984 album!👊🏻

[@vellaropedart9190]

Fun fact: "House of Pain" was originally supposed to be released on the debut album.

[@mattharvey968]

@@vellaropedart9190 it does have that sound and feel from the first one!

[@rickcain4736]

Drop Dead Legs from 1984...the guitar solo outro is KILLER!

[@przemekz4]

Check out their songs Romeo Delight, In a Simple Rhyme, Girl Gone Bad and House of Pain. Tora! Tora/ Loss of Control is also phenomenal. Probably one of their heaviest songs. Pure metal.

[@simoneemiliani2055]

Great song......nothing to Say🤟

[@kenkonwick6660]

Glad u really appreciate the secret weapon of VH. Michael Anthony is a really good bassist, and has some serious baseline in almost every song they dud. And he is actually a better singer than DLR, and harmonizes with Ed in background vocals. The man never gets his due appreciation

[@B-a-t-m-a-n]

Tres mellow is French for very mellow. TRE-molo is a whammy bar. :) "Could This Be Magic" is not a banger, but it DOES show a lot of the guys' personalities. They're just having fun with this song that HAD to be Dave's idea!

[@jimtatro6550]

Jay, I have said it before and I’ll say it again, outside of a couple “goofy” songs aka could this be magic, every song off of the first 5 Van Halen albums are 🔥🔥🔥

[@Iknowthelaw13]

It's not from the original era of Roth VH, but check out a song called "You and Your Blues" from their 2012 album A Different Kind of Truth. It's great guitar with some of David Lee Roth's best vocals.

[@jironthunder7519]

OMG I love Fair Warning and its dark gritty feel. Try Girl Gone Bad or As Is to know this bands true potential!!!!

[@showtime4243]

Keep those Van Halen Monday’s coming !! “ Feel your love Tonight”, “Where have all the good times gone”, “Drop Dead Legs” are some more older VH songs I think you would like !!

[@darrinwoodward14]

You should check out what Eddie's son is capable of!! Mammoth wvh "won't back down" he plays all the instruments, volcals,mixxing,everything all on his own.reminds me of Dave grohl on the foo fighters first album.

[@rwandappompey6277]

Definitely in my top 10 VH songs. Fair Warning along with VH 1 &2 top VH albums in my opinion . Love reactions to VH.

[@QualKAHN]

There's a live video from 1981 at the Oakland Colliseum with this song, "Unchained" and "So This is Love" that'd be cool for you to check out!

[@QualKAHN]

[@christophersessions3375]

This is my personal favorite VH record. It has the arena rock sound that would get them huge, but still has the experiment and heaviness of the first album and Women and Children First. I couldn't really get into the records that came after this, though.

[@jimbusby8298]

American Rock Band 🇺🇸 70's

[@paulrogers4483]

Most VH albums where driven by one of the boys. Diver Down was a Dave album, Fair Warning was Eddie's.

[@Rayruit]

Having a shitty day? Play some Van Halen and that sunshine feeling will appear within 3 minutes. Same old recipe but it always works.

[@robycip9715]

you are definitely in the prime of VH

[@jironthunder7519]

O yea Unchained... the National anthem of the last day of school...

[@darrenwatkins6956]

You got to check out Wolfgang van halen. The song distance was dedicated to his dad the video is great and don't back down is a great song and video. Eddie's kid is really talented.

[@e.l.norton]

If you weren't around for the 80s, you just don't know. The music was non-stop.

[@kevinc6916]

Even what I didn’t like had serious talent!! Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, Culture Club.....endless

[@peterbrown6022]

You haven't hit 'So This Is Love' yet off 'Fair Warning'. Great tune! You should react to the live from Oakland video taped at the same show as the 'Unchained' video you reacted to. Love your VH reactions.

[@dyrkeschaefer]

Just my 2 cents.... Fair Warning is the best VH album, IMO. Perfect for your album review.

[@jeffmorrison2147]

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

[@Steussie]

Agree with other commenter that Girl Gone Bad and House of Pain together would be awesome to do as your next Van Halen Monday selections. Absolute spicy shredders!!

[@erictussing5860]

Its flanger! You can get some very chorus like sounds from a flanger

[@Krust_Acean]

In the song Top Jimmy, Eddie has separate micing for each string.

[@dusty3913]

For the last recorded VH w Dave, try "As Is".

[@Bibugwes]

You gave a shout out to all the band members and their instruments at the beginning, except for Dave, as you were talking over his singing. Please remember, though, that the singing and lyrics are worthy of attention too.

[@cardevsan123]

Listen to this song just guitar It will show Ed’s virtuoso in his rhythm playing That’s where everyone misses his genius

[@frankdiceiii5399]

Time for Romeo’s Delight off Women And Children First, young Jedi. Still blows my little mind that my favorite music growing up is getting so much love from another generation, albeit you are WAY the fuck cooler than I was when I was 21!

[@andreweagland4702]

One song on that album I can't wait for you to check out Sunday afternoon in a park and then let it go right in to the next song it fades right into it and it's called one foot out the door you're going to love it

[@perrygoround]

I love your VH reactions. Have you done "The Full Bug" -Diver Down album- yet? From this Fair Warning album, another great -and different to usual- song is "Dirty Movies". I think you didn´t mention it when you recap the songs you already covered from this album.

[@brianrollo8180]

Would like to see you check out Drop Dead Legs from 1984. A left field suggestion - As Is from A Different Kind of Truth. Oh, and @7:22 is also my reaction every time I hear Dreams. Ugh.

[@chaka8300]

Girl Gone Bad please!! And if your gonna stream an album stream Diver Down, you haven’t heard a bunch of bangers on that yet!

[@faceplantor7372]

One of the things about Dave’s vocals is he could compete with the band with his unique vocal fry... Until he finally dried it...

[@eddievantrollen3459]

If I may offer a suggestion in regards to your choice of which entire Van Halen album to initially react to... I recommend their debut as it was how the world was first introduced to the Mighty Van Halen and the OG Guitar Hero Eddie Van Halen.

[@MRCATL3]

I'm walking don't need no ride

[@TheEasyeman]

Hey Jay, you should check out Porcupine Tree....

[@chris61670]

They have a couple more from the Dave era I don't care for but there are more that are very good. Atomic Punk from their first album is awesome as well The full bug from diver down.Now from the Sammy era their last album Balance they have some really good ones.Amsterdam and Seventh seal and from For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album Judgement day is really good as well..I am with you on the couple you didn't care for.

[@andrewgarin2486]

Just a great intro with that flange...and just moves into a great riff. I think Dave sung it right..not too many squeals..but just right. Always loved the song, maybe my favorite on this album because it's the one I listen most...just such a darker song with a great melody.. for me personally.

[@paulrogers4483]

Thanx, I was gonna leave a comment about how that's a flanger not a chorus but you did it months ago for me lol

[@docproc5150]

This song is probably most like the Sammy Hagar era stuff. Check out Amsterdam, best of Both Worlds, Good Enough.

[@michaelfischer701]

If you want Raw Van Halen try the Gene Simmons Demo

[@tambor76]

React to Van Halen "Dirty Movies".

[@dobithyogis8816]

Girl Gone Bad or Dirty Movies!!

[@MrRockon711]

Listen to Fools by Van Halen.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

1984 is a great choice for an album review..just saying..

How bout some sammy 5150 live
