FIRST TIME HEARING Van Halen - Jump (Official Music Video) REACTION

Hey, these dudes are just learning about Van Halen, they are not experts. We don't got to be condescending. Eddie is the lead guitarist, the lead singer is David Lee Roth. Both legendary.

[@rakgoogle6892]

4 guys in a band...it must be difficult to "learn" which is dead . It's not condescending, it's bluntly ignorant...

[@gllyflower]

I think it's sort of sweet. I mean to be fair it is unusual for a band to be named after a lead guitarist (note we don't have a band called Sambora!). It is of course telling in a very nice way that despite the attention-grabbing antics of the exceptionally talented ham sandwich that is DLR (said with love) they spent a lot of time "accidentally" commenting on the inescapably exceptional talent of EVH. It all comes out in the wash! I find it refreshing that they aren't doing a deep dive, it's just an honest take from a place of genuine well-meaning curiosity. Cool.

I'm 2 years into being a guitarist, and when you look up KZbin tutorial videos on how to play Eddie's solos, you'll see Eddie was no joke.

[@missbigkim]

Kwesi Harrison Ummm first that’s your opinion second when Michael recorded “Beat it” Hendrix was long since dead and there’s no way Prince would do a guitar solo for his competition.

[@lauradhawan7739]

He modified his guitar so much that it is almost impossible to copy his sound. Mad respect.

[@frankhucklenbroich6349]

Not just his guitars, but also his amplifiers. He used to run them on a bit higher voltage than they should, to get out that bit of extra crunch. Resulting on them not lasting for very long, but that doesn't matter, especially if it comes to capture that very special sound on tape to make a record.

[@craptos6938]

[@Seaquestjb]

Eddie was reluctant to do the gig because he and the rest of the band agreed never to do solo projects/gigs. However while his bandmates were out of town he agreed with producer Quincy Jones to do the solo on three conditions. 1. He would never get credited for the work because he didn't want the other members of Van Halen to know. 2. He didn't get paid because it was done as a favor and all he wanted in return was a case of beer. 3. He asked Michael to teach him how to dance. And there you go guys!! A bit of music history!! *And as I wrote that last point, I just remembered my dance recital back in '97... Music really does awaken the memory as well as the soul. Love to all 😊💙

Van Halen invented the entire 80's hair band genre; the music, the hair, the outfits, the stage show, the preferred instruments, all of it. They do not at ALL get enough credit for starting so many new things, and they started all that in the SEVENTIES along side Zeppelin and other legends. They took people off Zeppelin....Zeppelin....and moved them to a new musical place. That is L E G E N D.

@@sherrihal-rembert8351 people say Jimi Hendrix was great only because his name is recognizable. Objectively, he was certainly a good guitar player, but he was no Eddie Van Halen or Steve Vai. I say this as a guitarist and musician myself. Just because you were the first in something, doesn't mean you can claim you were the best. Besides, he was working in an entirely different decade than the others.

[@cogitus73]

@@cchappell06 True, although there is something to be said for trailblazers. But also being technically adept isn't the same as being a good musician or a good composer.

[@cchappell06]

@@cogitus73 I agree. We bluegrass musicians certainly know the importance of trailblazers. I love Bryan Sutton, Jens Kruger and Flatt Lonesome, but I definitely have respect for Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. I've also heard very technically adept musicians who were masters of their instrument but couldn't seem to make music that was acoustically pleasing to the ear. I believe that being able to combine instrument mastery with good sounding music is what makes someone the "GOAT," which is why I place Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen in that category. Hendrix made great music, but as a guitar player I can recognize what's technically difficult and what isn't, and Hendrix never played anything that complex. Neither did Clapton or Page. I found that the only reason people seem to think they're "the best" is because of recognition bias. Nearly everybody has heard of Jimi Hendrix, but not that many people have heard of Steve Vai.

Alex Van Halen as the drummer, they called him the timepiece for the group. Sometimes with Eddie's crazy solo's it could be easy for most mortals to find where to come back in. Alex never seemed to have that problem, kept them all together.
