Anything Van Halen is top notch.

[@BruceLeeroy-dv9cc]

I don’t care what the haters say I can’t wait for you to dive into the next record! Both eras of vh are amazing in their own ways

[@m.ericwatson968]

This album was huge for VH, so many copies sold you'd end up with a tape in your car, didn't even buy it, no idea where it came from, perfect production in Ed's studio he built at his house, they could take all the time they needed for this release and it paid of in spades.

[@jamese.6472]

Love these full album reactions Mug! Definitely been a nostalgic roller coaster ride for sure. And thanks for doing this for all of us old timers. I hope your efforts capture new Van Halen fans along the way!

[@Robcadams1974]

I think this is one of their best albums. The last two songs Eddie flexes in the guitar.

[@romancturner]

Bro! I see you haven't reacted to Van Halen's song : Me Wise Magic. Dude! You're in for a treat!

[@simoneemiliani5782]

Eddie and Alex out of control in Girl gone Bad.......crazy!!!what a musicians❤❤💣💣

[@truther4life]

Top Jimmy & Drop Dead Legs never got the LOVE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@miwakenster3]

King Ed's solo in DDL is the definition of monolithic: large, powerful, and intractably indivisible and uniform

[@DaveLane-pp1ew]

Deep cuts!! Real fans knew

[@DaveLane-pp1ew]

​@miwakenster3 it's the definition of rock and roll. No one ever used those words to describe an Eddie solo.

[@Robcadams1974]

One last comment suggestion. Your next live reaction video of Halen needs to be Van Halens "Live without a net" concert you can find on KZbin. It's right after they split with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar joined. Eddie and Alex were peaking.

[@robertyates7242]

Drop dead legs is a banger!

[@Robcadams1974]

And Top Jimmy gets better and better the more you hear it.

[@Show_time3]

Best part of that livestream was when this man let the music take over his body and he rocked out to the outro of Drop Dead Legs !!! Thanks for doing the livestream and the Van Halen reactions and to all the great music fans who attended. Good stuff !,👍👍

[@NCNelz]

You’re the man.!!!! Loved your incite , critique and enthusiasm for VH…..I’ve been huge fan since 79….I viewed your complete run down….I enjoyed all of them all….you totally get it ….when a lot people don’t……the old Van Halen catalog seems to get forgotten…thanks for keeping it alive….rock on !!!

[@diverdown631]

That is Eddie's 1972 Lamborghini Miura rev'ing it's engine you are hearing.

[@herbtaylor4493]

When I was 18, my best friend stood in line all night for Van Halen tickets in Detroit for the 1984 tour. We got 3rd row main floor, center stage. That concert was absolutely epic! Drop Dead Legs was my favorite but it never hit the radio airwaves, you had to own the album. That song is called "LIVIN"!!!!!

[@michaelpalermo354]

That’s where they filmed the MTV weekend with Van Halen right?

[@magicvoice31]

It was energized cuz this was the 1st album recorded at Eddie's house at his 5150 studios where he had the complete freedom to do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted without Warner bros records breathing down their necks plus they had over a year to record it whereas Diver Down was basically slapped together in 3 weeks cuz the label demanded it.

[@diverdown631]

Diverdown was recorded in 12 days, and even though I like the album, it shows.

[@ericsherman4181]

I knew Drop Dead Legs would be your favorite LOL. Great review! I agree with your assessment also, Fairwarning number 1. Next it’s Sammy time.

[@NotBenCoultry]

23:24 - yeah it's the difference in Eddie and then the addition of Sammy (advice: listen as though it's a new band/diff experience) on the next 3 albums that makes this my favorite era, that and this is the one I grew up with. Had my nose pressed against the TV glass at 6 years old when Jump was new - the synth, an Oberheim Ob-Xa: thats a set of chords played over the same bass note (that's what's called a pedal tone, refers to a function of pipe organs but became the name of the technique.) 2 and half mins into the music video is a clip of Eddie playing arpeggiated chords over a shifting bass note in his left hand, synth's all dusty lmao. Just found something awesome on the "doctor mix" channel: "Van Halen "Jump" Synthesizer Reconstructed" - Panama - That bridge and b-part before the final chorus has been one of my favorite moments in music since I first heard this as a mini-ben. Damn it "the snow white is snowin" made me cough out a whole hit lmaooo 34:45 Eddie is just in top form on this album. 37:30 arguing with his guitar over which key to play in. From now on I'll be thinking of Drop Dead Legs as the spaghetti sandwich of 1984 House of Pain feels like it was written during the Fair Warning sessions.

[@kellyD999]

Great reaction chanel here for VAN HALEN. Every song on this albumn gets you hyped 🔥 albumn

[@rdr61]

"Jump" was definitely one of the theme songs for the 80's

[@correctlyrics]

Hey Mug, I missed the Livestream, but I'm here watching the whole thing. I have an idea that would be unique and interesting for us VH fans. You're going to listen to Van Hagar. That's good. The first 3 albums are good. But, what you could do is compare the first album "5150" with David Lee Roth s first solo album, "Eat 'Em and Smile". I think everyone would love to hear your comparisons to those head-to-head albums.

[@heyjarrod]

Mos def, mos def!!! Good call, Man! That would be fun to watch. I always say the first nine-maybe 10-VH albums are all great. 🤘🏻😝🎸🇺🇸

[@BRB-_-]

@@heyjarrod VH1 - FUCK are all great albums

[@RoughHouseRock]

Thanks, Mugs, for the trip down memory lane. You've reached my end of prime VH. Sure, there's good stuff beyond this era, but the DLR voice and producer Ted Templeman's touch on the VH tone was never matched. Sadly, what was left of DLR's voice was laid down on solo records. I always wondered what a couple more records with DLR and Templeman would've been consdering DLR's solo work. Onward and upward. 😉

[@melissaw704]

That’s serious business, breaking out the hot water cornbread! 😅😊

[@big106razor]

I missed the livestream but rushed home to catch the replay. EXCELLENT! I'd love to see your reaction to the final album with David Lee Roth called A Different Kind of Truth.

[@VanHalensGuitarPick]

My fave Dave album by far. Good call!

[@timsterrockstar]

Jump was a #1 hit! Its played in sports arenas all over

[@greglandry3241]

Seeing you react for the first time to this music has been cool! As time goes by you kinda get to wondering if you don’t look back at the music you liked when you were younger and think maybe it was just you making it out to be more than it actually was. Seeing you enjoying this has just reaffirmed that my memory was accurate, and this stuff was just truly great! Can’t wait for you to watch the Neil Peart video!

[@miwakenster3]

I say again, King Edward's solo in Drop Dead Legs is Monolithic-large, powerful, and intractably indivisible and uniform

[@caged7tiger]

The 80’s are not over looked! The most influential, experimental music came out in the 80’s. The array of music within those 10 years is incredible. New wave, rock, metal, r&b, the birth of hip hop.

[@robertcook792]

These last 2 are my favorite on the album

[@diverdown631]

Danny Carey and Steve Vai are joining with 2 members of the 80's lineup of King Crimson. Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to celebrate the 3 albums that they made with Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford, who both declined involvement,but gave their blessing. Tickets for the whole tour went on sale yesterday and I'll be 6th row center for one of their Florida shows.

[@qryche1967]

Girls Gone Bad takes the win for me.

[@marceramo2952]

You don't know how right you are about Eddie and Alex taking center stage on this one. Since the studio was on Eddie's property, he and Alex practically lived their during recording which sort of boxed Dave, Mike, and the producer out somewhat. Dave had to do all his co-writing offsite.

[@JenAdams-gb3nl]

Thanks for reacting to VH. Love watching you enjoy it the way I did for the first time while growing up.

[@jerrythomasdildine8956]

Listen to House of Pain on the Demo album made by Gene Simmons. The song is way heaver and bad ass!

[@DaveLane-pp1ew]

Eddie built his own studio in 1983. This was their firstt album recorded in his studio. They were always in sink. He was being bullied with cover songs so that's why he built it

[@JsscRchlDrsy]

Beautiful review and reaction as always. I’m enjoying it to the fullest. Now how about my request for that LARGO MARYLAND show from 1982.

[@notquiteright45014]

Most people just hear VH. I like that you can feel them. 💯🤟

[@BRB-_-]

someone in the chat said "no way 5150 is a better album than eat em and smile" LOL how wrong can someone possibly be xD

[@robertcook792]

Thank you so much for taking the interest in Van Halen and reacting to all these albums. You are one cool mf’er. I hope you continue on and do the the next phase in Van Halen. They are great albums I would love for you to react to them.

[@frankmarx8997]

Great reaction, the next 2 reactions you should check out are 5150, and David Lee Roth’s “Eat ‘Em And Smile” . Looking forward to it .

[@jakeenan]

Eddie had full control on this album. He poured his heart and soul into it.

[@chrisherrmann3991]

Totally agree! Drop Dead Legs was my fav right from the beginning off the 1984 album back when it came out. Good taste Mug, same reasons as you, has the SWAG... Has it ALL Hot for teacher #2 it has the best intro, I'll Wait #3

[@Robcadams1974]

Eddie once suggested his favorite song he wrote was drop dead legs.

[@timsterrockstar]

The Rev up sound in panama is Eddies 1972 Lamborghini Miura S

[@ernestoalvarez7030]

Thank you for a great reaction.

[@robertcook792]

I missed it again! I’m going to watch it now.

[@user-me8uu9mc9o]

When asked in interviews what was the "obvious" question, Eddie always consistently replied that "Fair Warning"⚠️ was his favorite album and then he would start going into explaining why which always inevitably involved "The Brown Sound" so I think 🤔 you're in "pretty good company there Mugs!!!👼🏻🙌🏻🎸🎶🤟🏻

[@DaveLane-pp1ew]

Girl gone bad your new favorite guaranteed

[@mrcatsuit]

Love your channel dad

[@Str8_native]

I remember all the hype about Eddie playing keyboards on this like it was something new but actually it’s not, he played them on “And the cradle will rock” but they down played that.

[@Sean-ls5di]

Yes, but they were driven through a Marshall stack.

[@ptrain9020]

The song you are referring to on the Diver Down album was the song Little Guitars. You liked the intro and wished they had returned to it later in the song but they didn't.

[@garse70]

1984 is an epic album. Guitars O’Plenty. Any of us that have ever played guitar, knows that Drop Dead Legs and Girl Gone Bad are ridiculous.

[@JsscRchlDrsy]

Oh yeah….. wait on the Sammy Hagar stuff. You must do VAN HALEN, A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRUTH. It was their reunion album with David Lee Roth in 2012. I personally think it’s a great album and shouldn’t be missed.

[@JMitch67]

This was a Party Album. Bangers from cover to cover

[@mysticchrome4000]

Iconic sound Iconic album Iconic band.

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

Cool rap at the end of “House of pain” Mugs! 🔥

[@dspain4447]

Missed the live, but watched after. That whoosh sound on Panama was Ed putting a mic on the muffler of his Lamborghini and revving the engine. That is just a touch of Ed and his creativity unleashed at his own studio! Welcome to the VH club!

[@robertcook792]

The first time we heard Edward on the keyboard. This is a great song, the guitar solo and drums during it is badass! This song is actually about someone who was threatening to jump off a building! Panama is about a drag ca, when Dave says I can barely see the road from the heat coming off vroooom, that is a 73 Lamborghini

[@JsscRchlDrsy]

Don’t forget AND THE CRADLE WILL ROCK was a distorted keyboard.

[@Gentile108]

I like your thought on how a keyboard or synthesizer can make multiple music voices. But nothing can replicate or replace 3 dudes playing their instruments in a live session .. period

[@philipstalter4448]

This review on point

[@brettwerkmeister9829]

They got it baby.

[@governorboltz]

This album came out on my 4th birthday.

[@williamgordon4610]

Yeah I agree

[@pennysilvey8868]

I used that line in 12th grade English class. It was first period, and I was late, but I did not feel tardy. My teacher didn’t think that was very funny. Yes, the girls like the coaches. Coach Shelby…Everybody was hot for teacher! WHAAAT???? You’ve never reacted to any rush videos live to where you can see Neil Peart? The professor? Work his magic? You’ve got to watch Neil Peart. And do some rush reactions as well. If you haven’t already. I’m about to go check it out and see.

[@rubendelgado1865]

Hello Mugs, just wanted to mention a vid clip you might want to watch. Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at El Macambo. The song is Texas Flood. Since you have been blown away by Eddie's guitar playing, I highly recommend you have a listen. SRV will blow you away.

[@vermontmoocow]

1984 album: Eddie and Alex saying "This is our band - Sir." (snaps) "Okay?" (Eddie and drummer Alex Van Halen = powerhouse team. And they keep on even after Sammy joins, don't worry!)

[@vermontmoocow]

Hey Mug! I've totally enjoy listening to your videos about VH. Your intuitions are so right on about when they are "not feelin' it" and when they are totally VAN HALEN and all involved. You have a keen instinctual feeling for this. And it is a pleasure to watch you enjoy this fabulous band because I feel the same way! Now that you are coming up to the Sammy years, it would be amazing to have you react to the "Live Without a Net" live concert video in New Haven, CT! (renamed 'New Halen' for this concert) However, since you say you have not seen live David Lee Roth performing with Van Halen yet, we can suggest a few live videos to watch to see DLR's amazing charisma. (Your intuition about him was totally correct- he was totally a ladies man!) Their live concerts were epic!

[@dalejohnson2047]

The rev is one of Eddie’s sports cars lll

[@robertyates7242]

Man, I remember in 84 I think it was the summer before my freshman year of high school; I used to walk along the highway with a Walkman jamming out to this album walking to my best friends

[@Robcadams1974]

I had two of those teachers

[@anthonykrische4425]

Eddy used a drill on the strings to get that revving affect on panama

[@scenevision356]

nope. the woosh is well documented, famous story has Edward recording his 1972 Lamborghini for that sound. The drill technique was used later on "poundcake" . ...

[@rothed16]

Just finished DiverDown and going right into this😂 Panama is my fave on here! This to me tore a lot of "Pure" VH fans apart. Many did not like the keyboards and all. "Selling out" kinda like many say Metallica did with the Black album. But I liked 1984/Black albums and been a fan of both groups since pretty much they started. It is VH no matter what

[@christopherglock7239]

Eddie was inspired by Rush after moving picture and He said this is the 80's more synthesizers. Eddie wanted more of that Dave was wanting the Rock star Hard Rock metal dudes. Times were changing after this. So sad the 80's are gone I would have appreciated it more.

[@cesarrivero338]

After the album 1984 Van Halen made 4 albums with Sammy Hagar. Then they made a compilation Album in 1996 called The Best Of Van Halen where they reunited with David Lee Roth and recorded 2 New Songs with him. Please review them. They're called CAN'T GET THIS STUFF NO MORE and ME WISE MAGIC.

[@robertyates7242]

Family first my friend 😊

[@justme7185]

Hey dude, you need to have a party. Rock out at Mugs' house! Did I tell you the last two songs on this album were fire!!???

[@Robcadams1974]

Dang I missed the live

[@christopherglock7239]

I miss the 80"s can't believe it just jetted right by. America was more Free and was growing. No cell phones maybe a pager but didn't world back then.

[@voodoolovedr]

Great Van Halen videos man. You can stop here. Van Hagar isn’t true Van Halen. Dave or the grave baby 🎉

[@beaubradley2171]

Van Halen is Eddie and Alex. Period.

[@joshcomedy1521]

1984 sold the most cuz Jump went to #1 on the charts

[@riknroll5150]

Mugs you gotta do Ed's sons band Mammoth WVH. Incredible new band even if you don't review it give it a listen...stay frosty stay safe

[@trumpchump3539]

Mugnify when we doing 5150

[@keydobutkrak]

Skeltonic verse

[@rhinno1969]

Please don't forget Dave's solo stuff 🙏 at least his EP and first 2 albums 😉 (original videos if possible)...you may want to go back and watch the videos for Panama and Hot for Teacher also 👍

[@christopherglock7239]

The videos from this album were awesome you have to watch them especially hot for teacher.

[@connorburtontraining1297]

Can you react to “5150”?

[@williamgordon4610]

You missed the first joke on top jimmy bro

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

You need to hear the song without the video so you get to hear the drum solo!

[@davedecker1725]

Vintage 80s?? Ouch!!!😢

[@caged7tiger]

My least favorite VH album mostly due to its over played. But it definitely was the end of the Roth era even before he left the band. Eddie was ready to spread his writing wings and I don’t think Dave’s voice could handle it. Hence the reason Different Kind Of Truth is a rehash of old VH tunes

[@scottvance7520]

1984 and 5150 are there best albums

[@philipstalter4448]

False. Fair Warning all day long. 😄 Next WACF! To put any Van Hagar above those two - some would argue above any CVH - is a monumental miscalculation! 🙂 *I know it’s all just opinion haha ✌🏼

[@ken2936]

Did you give up on Van Halen? What about the band with Sammy Hagar?

[@MugnifyRTS]

No I havent just getting to other projects but we will dive into 5150 SOON

[@CharlesTRose]

David Lee Roth - Eat Em And Smile next

[@briancarr4607]

HOW THE HELL CAN VH1 NOT BE HIGHER ? 😮
