LOVE IT!| FIRST TIME HEARING Van Halen - Can't Stop Lovin' You REACTION

[@heflinG6832]

If it’s a Van Halen song, it’s Eddie on guitar. There’s no version of Van Halen without Eddie!

[@ruf1970]

I know man. LOL. I've seen every incarnation of VH live from 1984 to 2007. Keep on rockin' !!!!

[@brucefrank5556]

I guess the short hair confused him.

[@davidfyffe5970]

I know. I was totally confused by the, "Maybe Eddie is not in this one". What? It's a VH video! Good Lord! LOL

[@gt4589]

Its like they're not even looking at the VIDEO... That has Eddie All In It!!! LOL WTF??? Videos were just as important as the songs, back in the 80s...IMO.

[@timtriplett9019]

@@gt4589 Videos take away from "Listening" to the song. It's just a Mass Distraction. Just type in song name and add Vinyl after it. Or Live in Japan. ;) MTV does not stand for music. Thanks, ODD TV. ;)

Eddie picked that song for his wedding to his second wife. Great song.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I love "WHEN IT'S LOVE" ❤️❤️❤️

[@rwschumm]

I totally AGREE with 'When It's Love' Suggestion! :)

[@stephenlord7316]

Yes. Fantastic song. And Love Walks In.

[@wg1294]

"You know I love me some Van Halen. I don't think Eddie is in this one." Meanwhile Eddie's smiling away. Classic.

LMAO, exactly. These reactors don’t know 😂”Eddie might not be in this one” 😂 His greatness is legendary, miss you Eddie

[@randymagley9024]

It's the short haired version of EVH... There was never a time that he wasn't in the band.

They need to do a bit of research maybe during the breaks in the video.

He’s definitely in it. Lord help me lol. 😂

[@ryansmith1361]

Shoot, when this came out, and I saw this guy with the short hair and the facial hair, I didn't recognize him and thought they had replaced Eddie! I was outraged!

[@doreenharper3703]

This is the song that was playing when my now husband proposed to me over the intercom at my workplace !!! It was July 18,1995. We have been together for 36 years. We love this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cool story. Too bad this song is about divorce and leaving your spouse.

Congrats on being married that long.

Come on Rob, Eddie is there playing guitar as he does in EVERY Van Halen song. lol.

[@jonlate4581]

I thought i was hearing things for a second. The one constant in EVERY Van Halen song are the brothers. Ed's sound, look, guitars etc. are unmistakable!

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

His name is Jordan (a.k.a. J.), and their last name is Robinson.

[@raybernal6829]

Rob? 🤔

[@MP-od1zz]

There is no Van Halen without Eddie. How can u miss that iconic Eddie smile in the video? RIP Eddie. This is one of my favorite VH songs of the Hagar era.

[@sheldondyck8631]

Humans Being and Feelin should be added to your list of Van Halen songs to listen to. Also Eddie is playing guitar. He has a goatee and short hair which might be why you don’t recognize him.

[@violetviolent7980]

Well, in addition he gotten sober at the time and looks completely different, better looking in my opinion.

[@sheldondyck8631]

Glad to see you delving into the Van Hagar discography! Some of Sammy's other great songs with Van Halen are "Best of Both Worlds", "Amsterdam", "Feels So Good", and "Why Can't This Be Love".

[@MichaelSmith-wb1es]

Loved Sammy Hagar. Loved VanHalen. When they got together it was the ultimate merger for me.

[@roypartible9759]

Their best ballad is "Love Comes Walking In" which, surprisingly, you still havn't done yet.

[@helenmartines5909]

This is my favorite, gives me chills eventide o hear it. Please react to this song. Amber will definitely love it.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

This is why I love reaction channels. I haven't heard this song in ages. Such a great song. Cracked me up that you didn't recognize Eddie on guitar. The look is different but there is no mistaking the sound. Much love to you guys, thanks for what you do.

[@METerrell]

You should react to their song Finish What You Started.

[@bebic7903]

Thanks for your reactions! This is one of my favorite Van Halen songs. When Sammy says toward the end of the song, "Hey, Ray, what you said is true", he's referencing a song that Ray Charles sang back in the 60's that was also titled "I Can't Stop Loving You". But a totally different song written by Don Gibson. Great stuff.

[@LarryMyers-z1f]

As a huge Van Halen fan, I never knew that fact. That is freaking awesome!

[@chopps75]

VanHagar is my favorite iteration of the band, Sammy's song writing ability is miles ahead of Roth's party-boy style. "Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do" is a must listen.

[@BrainMeltGaming]

Ew no Van Halen was better off with Roth

[@chopps75]

@Brain Melt Gaming that is objectively false.

[@stevenkmiller]

Van Hagar is Van Halen after marriage and a couple of kids: more mature and more collected.

[@Chiefschatguys]

I agree

[@mattjohnson7725]

The whole balance album is great

[@Northerngirl15]

Eddy’s riff alone at the beginning of “Why Can’t This be Love” is a big enough reason to do a reaction 🎸😊

[@bobabrams4685]

Still hoping you check out Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen and some of his songs with his group Mammoth WVH. His song "Distance" is a tribute to his Dad and has video and pictures of him with Eddie and his mom (Valerie Bertinelli) through the years. Or check "Don't Back Down" to see Wolfie's musical talent - he plays all the instruments.

[@lorilemley5348]

The first time I heard “Distance “ on the radio I cried like a baby!😢

[@alejleal]

what a song....beautiful

[@mattmcglasson7104]

Eddie was never NOT in Van Halen. He’s playing guitar with the short hair and facial hair

[@danwilliams5867]

He was in it, they really rocked it

[@kbusby4824]

Dance the Night Away, Cradle Will Rock and Mean Streets are all great songs with Diamond Dave on lead vocals. I was fortunate to see them on their 1980 World Invasion tour, row 4 on the floor. RIP EVH.

[@bobbybell2541]

Sammy and Mikey are still rocking put a album out recently. They call themselves the Circle

[@imikey535]

The line “Hey Ray, what you said is true” refers to Ray Charles and his song “I can’t stop loving you”

[@justinpettersen7190]

I always wondered what that meant!! Than you for finally letting Me know after all these years

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

I figured that out, back then. He's also referring to whatever it is that I said. Ha, ha

[@TheSmokey999]

To more great songs of the Van Halen Balance are Don’t Tell Me What Love Can Do ( which is a rocker ) & Not Enough ! You both will love them ❤

[@19chucki74]

Definitely one of their best love songs. And yes, that was Eddie, he went to a crew cut style in the 90s, and it really suited him. Sadly, their album Balance is the last one with Sammy Hagar, as a bad falling out happened, and Sammy either was ousted or left the band. Y'all need to react to When It's Love, from their 1988 release OU812, that is a bonafide love song right there!

[@matthewvade6553]

Only two things remained the same in Van Halen from beginning to end, Eddie on guitar, Alex on drums. Michael was on bass until near the end, and they changed lead singers quite a bit, but the Van Halen brothers are always there. You will find some live performances where Sammy plays guitar, but those are mostly songs he recorded as a solo artist before joining VH. Speaking of which, for a fun song, you should check out Sammy's first single after leaving VH, "Mas Tequila." Just make sure you don't get the uncensored version of the video, or you'll have to spend a lot of time editing out all the topless girls from the crowd. And when you mention a guitar solo, I'm going to keep suggesting you check out "Come Again" by Damn Yankees for a great guitar solo by the legendary Ted Nugent. The video has a really interesting camera angle to give you a different view of a solo from what you'll see about anywhere else.

[@dennismoore3383]

Mas Tequila was off "Red Voodoo," but Sammy's first album after Van Halen was "Marching To Mars" which has some excellent songs.

[@amandabispo2949]

Mas Tequila is my JAM!!!

[@SoCalRMD]

One of my favorites from them. You were looking right at Eddie, at this point he was just shorter hair and had the goatee, but don't feel bad because covering the early years and then to this time he had changed his look so much. Glad you two enjoyed this.

The guy with short hair and goatee palying guitar is Eddie. All Van Halen songs has Eddie. THis song was released 1995, a whole 25 yrs before Eddies passing, so of course Eddie is there. THe Van Hagar period is a whole different beast to the Dave Lee Roth years. Check out Panama and Hot For Teacher.

[@todvball]

...yep..a "clean cut Eddie" and a "clean cut rocking sound" all contained in THIS song... with a positive message. Eddie's also a "luthier" or guitar designer. So he's playing one of his own 90s (Ernie Ball style?) guitars...in this song. Listen to a cool song called "Runaround" . Yep it's all Eddie. Sammy on vocals. Alex on drums. Michael Anthony on bass and harmony vocals.

[@volunteer1fan]

Eddie Van Halen is as much a genius at playing a guitar but just as much so at designing the electronics and feel and sound of the guitar and the equipment like amps and effects used in guitar playing. There may never be anyone so connected to a guitar as Eddie. The guitar he plays in this video is one he designed, he named it after his son Wolfgang. For me it's the holey grail and hopefully I'll soon own one. RIP Eddie Van Halen, No one has inspired me more than you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Rob Squad for reviewing this one!!!!!
