David Lee Roth is the showman that put this band over the top.

[@OldMusicFan83]

I’ve been saying ‘I don’t feel tardy’ for 40 years!

[@KoreinShriners]

I've been saying "I got my pencil" for 40 years!

[@christinewaide5249]

“Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love” is a great song. Early Van Halen is the best. ❤

[@lorispiro-pioggia4289]

In the 80s anything went. So different than today. As a teacher it’s funny watching this. We don’t even think about it.

[@chercee]

Excellent casting for Dave, Eddie, Alex, & Michael mini-mes! RIP, Eddie.

[@Mr360cuda]

I’m a high school graduate of 1984! This was my album and this song was awesome!

[@donbergeson6771]

I was in 8th grade (and a troublemaker) when this came out. Our math teacher was going to be gone a couple days and we (me specifically) were warned that any detentions we got were going to be doubled when she got back. First day of the substitute and, I swear it was unplanned, my buddy Roberto and I walk into class late. When the teacher said something about it, this song popped into my head. I turned to look up at the clock, turned back to her and said, "Aw man, I think the clock is slow. I don't feel tardy." The entire room busted up laughing. That was detention #1. Later in the class, the sub asked some question and Roberto immediately raised his hand. When she called on him he held up his pencil and said "I brought my pencil. Now give me something to write on man." Entire room busted up again. I laughed so hard I literally fell out of my desk and onto the floor. She figured I was in on it so detention #2 for both of us and an extra for me for falling to the floor. After the doubling I got 6 detentions in 1 class (and that was only day 1 of the sub) and all because a Van Halen song popped into my head.

You need to watch Eddie Van Halen's Eruption guitar solo from their without a net tour. He will leave you completely speechless!!!!

[@michellec2514]

Yessssss it's a must!!

[@darkstardan3309]

This video always cracks me up! Fun band!

[@hipsville]

I remember the model/teacher saying at first it felt weird but the kids were lovin' being there. It was just a good time making a Van Halen video. 😀

[@GatheringtheMagic1984]

Mean Street and Jamie’s Cryin are two songs you would love. You will recognize the drum riff that opens Jamie’s Cryin

[@lorispiro-pioggia4289]

There are so many Van Halen bangers out there. You should listen to them all.

[@Triggerhippie70]

Listen, this song is in my opinion one of the best friggin rock songs ever I’m 53 years old. Been around for a while and I freaking love this song so much Van Halen is an iconic band.!

[@queenbeedat8726]

My fav Van Halen song. It rocks....

[@Irockthere4]

Of course Eddie went on to play the solo on Beat It for Michael Jackson

[@magna116]

Common knowledge. That the best you got?

[@Irockthere4]

I forgot more than you know

[@OldMusicFan83]

That was in 82

[@GoldTop57]

@@magna116 true everyone seems to know that by now. Shame not everyone realizes Steve Lukather played the rhythm guitars and bass on that track.

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

What made you bring that up?

[@blainecole5452]

"Everyone had that one teacher" It was way more than one...

[@marcosborne4974]

An interesting story about Eddy's lead break is that he recorded multiple versions of it and then came back and pieced together a version of it that he was happy with . The funny part is that he had to go back and learn that version of it for the live performances. Eddie was always thinking outside the box.

[@jamesrawlins735]

That drum opening is also one of the greatest. Alex Van Halen did some crazy set up - plus the mixing in the studio to produce a drum masterpiece.

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Unchained is a great one by them. But honestly, any song from their debut album. Every track on it is gold.

[@ezed3902]

Enjoyed your reaction guys. "Aint talking about love" is a good one to check out.

[@klipkultur3680]

Golden age of music videos.

[@jonlate4581]

He's right. Van Halen is about guitars. That's what i hear when i listen.

[@aaronshackelford6106]

It was the best time ever growing up in the 80s

[@OldMusicFan83]

As a graduate of 1984, I can assure you. NO teachers looked like Miss Phys Ed! Ha ha

[@reginagrayson2465]

CLASS OF '84!!!!!

REST IN PEACE EDWARD. THE GOAT !

[@jhamler1]

Everything about this song is legendary. From the original composition to the culminated music video. The drums, guitar, bass, vocals, lyrics, vibe.... It's all top notch FUN. And the level of musical difficulty is off the charts. Inimitable.

[@eddievantrollen3459]

Ice Cram Man, Mean Street, Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, and Unchained are staples of The Mighty Van Halen!!!

[@KuscosPoison]

1984 was THE Van Halen album of my teenage years. SO many great songs on that 1 album.

[@mcelfishb]

Now you've got to listen to the ultimate song of the Dave era, Panama! My first memories of Van Halen and a sheet rocker!

[@trudydavidson528]

Big Van Halen fan here!!! "Mean Street", "Somebody Get Me a Doctor", "Unchained", "Running with the Devil".... I could go on,.. and on, but that's a start. Merry Christmas guys!!!

[@Heisablessing]

Who could NOT love Van Halen? It's so hard to believe Eddie is gone.

[@mynameisnoonesbusiness4488]

Hilarious video. It’s one of those I put on sometimes when I really could use a smile.

[@SolarTiger]

I'm so old...my Grade school teachers looked like grandmas...but they were probably just middle aged...maybe...and I Spy parachute pants!

[@Whateva67]

Right? I was in school during the 70s and 80s,the teachers looked so old but they were probably only in their 30s😆

[@jgsrhythm100]

What set Van Halen apart from all the imitators they inspired is a wide range of influences. Aside from obvious Rock acts were also blues, soul & Funk & jazz. In fact they brought Kool and the Gang on tour with them!! Please hit Kool & the Gang "Funky Stuff" (73) Before they turned into a pop band. It's funky as hell 🔥

[@jamesrawlins735]

Plus don't forget they had Eddie Van Halen, one of the all-time greatest rock guitarists - and David Lee Roth was as good a front man at this time.

[@jgsrhythm100]

@jamesrawlins735 That's just my point. What contributed to making them both so unique is a wide range of influences. Not too mention they both grew up in musical families .

[@barrydehatchett8692]

"Mean Street" ain't bad...you guys react great...peace and love to all

[@watergrass2135]

Eddie Van Halen greatest guitar player in the universe

[@blairhaffly1777]

I remember when Eddy dabbled in the LA, SoCal climbing scene back in the 80s. He got some training out at Joshua Tree and got towed up Half Dome. Not bad for a dilettante. I think you can find pics of him climbing in Yosemite.

[@yambo59]

This was a classic 70's VH music video - and Eddie Van Halens guitarsolo's come on what a string shredder-!!!

[@Wishes890]

Try '80's. From the album 1984, released in, you guessed it, 1984.

[@youravgjoe42]

Eruption Guitar solo Live without a net is an absolute must. When you review it you will understand that there are amazing guitarists out there and then there are GUITAR GODS and Eddie is the latter.

[@onepatrioticcat3395]

AAHHH... 1984, what a year...

[@IndustrialFaith]

One of the best rock albums of all time. o7

[@stevetracy2012]

Mean Street on Van Halen Fair Warning. I guarantee that you'll LOVE IT!!

[@TheRedStateBlue]

"I don't feel tardy" used to get me sent to the principal's office.

[@Another_User_Name_]

RIP Eddie, probably one of the best lead guitarists ever. Great song, video, and group. Van Halen had 2 totally different sounds; the David Lee Roth Van Halen and the Sammy Hagar Van Halen. I prefer the David Lee Roth era but both were damn good.

[@annewoodard6803]

I worked for Dave. He is everything and all that too. 😁

[@mattjohn4731]

I recommend their songs Light Up The Sky, Could This Be Magic, Little Guitars, Hang 'Em High, Little Dreamer, Feel Your Love, Girl Gone Bad, Panama, Top Jimmy, I'm The One...

[@freebirdtony]

"Mean Street" is a banger. Please react to Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Free Bird" is an appropriate start. Thank you kindly Gentlemen.

[@jillk368]

Lots of great Van Halen. Fun reaction, guys.

[@eddievantrollen3459]

Alex really gets after it during that guitar solo!!!

Gotta love Wayne Gretzky wife for her iconic teacher portrayal. ✌

Another good school song with a funny intro scene : " Be Crool To Your Scuel " by Twisted Sister and Alice Cooper. ;)

[@donaldnewberne2616]

Van Halen's song, Hot for Teacher is Great! However, if you haven't done this song yet, listen to Jump 1984 from intro to the end!!! Awesome! Awesome! Song from beginning to end!!!! Rock On Van Halen!!! 🤘🤟✊👊💥🔥 RIP Eddie Van Halen.

Thank God we lived to experience Van Halen. We looked at it like reality. What they portrayed was real. And the girls hoped for " hot " teachers too. Lol.

Other great songs of theirs are 'Panama' and 'Why Can't This Be Love?' (with Sammy Hagar on vocals.)

[@MISHKAJAI]

If I were to summon my Super Duper Accurate Intuition and Gut instinct that is never wrong , I would speculate and surmise that the 'Character' of Waldo is placed in this video as a tribute to the Lead Singer's David Lee Roth's younger version of his younger self where he was a Nerd in School at first and always picked on but he had a desire to boink his Hot Teachers when he was in the Catatonic Nerd Like State...it's so blatantly obvious simply because of the fact You can tell what he has become as an Altruistic Rock God is beyond personality compensation for his earlier up and comings!

[@Show_time3]

Rip to the ultimate guitar hero, Eddie Van Halen…you guys need to jump into more VanHalen if you liked the guitar in this one. Try “Ain’t talkin bout love”, “Mean Street”, “Panama”, “unchained”, “Jamie’s Cryin”, “Ice cream man” to name a few….

[@The_Jasonian01]

Fun fact about the shooting of this video. Those kids got hammered with the band on Schlitz malt liquor lol

[@ronhughes4625]

I’ve heard the woman who plays the teacher is the same woman who is in the Hot Legs video from Rod Stewart.

[@americanmutt9089]

You Fellas need to checkout And the Cradle Will Rock.

[@KC-pc8ou]

Good reaction. You mentioned Jump in comparison - a great contrast would be the Song 5150 on Live Without A Net. Sammy on Vocals, Live and just another era that's completely different but still awesome. Their live energy that first tour with Sammy (1986) is incredible musically and performance ... And that live version of 5150 is the best song to capture all members' talent in under 10 minute .. few have done this reaction .. but you'll get it if you do it

[@geneval3151]

Van Halen filmed the video at John Marshall High School in Los Angeles, California. The school was shut down because of insufficient funds when they shot the clip, so Van Halen not only paid to rent the school for four days of filming, they also contributed money to the city to help get it reopened.

[@pegajense]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@renelpatat]

Not now, nor was I ever, a huge Van Halen fan and particularly not this video. Jump I did like. But… I can SO relate! There was one teacher and, talking about hot, he was! I was a senior in high school but was never in his class. He also took lunch money and that’s where I’d see him. Great guy, according to my grandparents who lived a street over from Mr. Wilson, a bachelor then. I finished school early so I was just 16 then, too young and, I wanted to continue my modeling career. I ultimately modeled for decades, including high school, through college and until I was 58. I’m old, guys but, yes, that’s a recent picture that you see. See the grey in my hair though?🙄 What’s so funny is “Mr. Wilson”also had the hots for me! My grands told me that Danny Wilson, the teacher, visited with them often and discovered they were my grands. He’d ask about me but, because of my age, he never said anything to me. Too bad! I’d have found that guy after I was 18! Never tried but he’d have been great for me, maybe. Ultimately, I married a former classmate, an absolute genius. We just viewed life differently. He was too logical and I was artistic, and artists are a very different breed. We divorced but had had a child together. I just saw the ex a few days ago at my Dad’s funeral, our son’s grandfather. He’s still pretty hot too and he always hangs around. He’s married so I don’t speak first…he always does though! Guess Mr. Wilson has wandered into a different direction and is probably married. Who know?

Stumbled across your channel and really enjoying it. So I have to put a plug in for a Canadian artist. If you try Colin James performing 'Why'd You Lie', I think you will enjoy his bluesy style! In the meantime, I wish you the best on this holiday season!
