The swag just OOZES out of this one. Michael Anthony's bass carries this track with the drums. Alex's pocket is as impressive as Eddie's shredding. the beat is phenomenal. Then you add Eddie's otherworldly guitar and Dave's eccentricity and you have some of the best music ever.

According to Eddie, he was supposed to be a drummer but he said every time he came home from school, Alex was banging away on them. After hearing Alex play the iconic drum part on "Wipeout" by the 'Safaris', he switched to the guitar and the rest, as they say, is musical history. (He'd already been trained classically on the piano.)

[@stever.747]

[@C_mao]

'CATHEDRAL' is a song where it sounds like an organ (It's Eddie on his guitar, using 'volume(knob)'swells' and tapping, very impressive technique(s) that get overlooked ) .. in 'Little Guitars' Eddie plays a flamenco style, (On 'Jump', 'Right Now', 'Love Walks In' Eddie plays the keyboard and piano) 'Intruder'/'Oh Pretty Woman' is a must hear, (on 'Unchained' there's a part that was unplanned, when bassist Michael Anthony walked into the studio while DLR was laying down the vocals,(David riffs, and they left it in the song/"..One break, coming up!") unbelievable. 'I'll Wait' is one of my fave VH songs (probably underrated) ironically it features the bass and drums more(than Eddie's guitar) but the hook and turn around are 'so' damn satisfying.

[@supertal6074]

There will never be another bank like Van Halen and there will never be a Guitarist like EVH - man, I really miss him. Gotta give it to the rest of the band - DLR - best front man and MA - the best background vocals around; what a clear high range! Love AV on the drums.

The "leg kick" you're referring to is called the "duck walk". Angus Young does it really well. It's origins however,fall on Chuck Berry. According to Chuck,he first did it when he arrived at a show only to find the pants for his suit were wrinkled on one leg and had no time to press them. So he basically did what he could onstage to hide the wrinkles. And thus it became known as the "duck walk".

My all time favorite band after seeing the VHII tour in 1979 when this song first came out. Diamond Dave loves Motown so every song from his era has a great groove and incredible harmony vocals. Dave was the first to do the splits off the drum riser but I believe Chuck Berry is the first to do the leg sticking out thing that you thought Angus from AC/DC did. Van Halen with Diamond Dave at the helm is the only rock band in the US to have two Diamond certified releases, VHI and 1984. If you listen to all 6 of their albums with Diamond Dave you'll see that that they are the most diverse mainstream rock band ever. They covered it all. Rock, blues, jazz, heavy metal, bluegrass, etc. I would love if you did a reaction to every one of their songs but you have done enough. Thank you so much! But I would like to turn you on to some forgotten classics of yesteryear. Stuff my dad turned me on to. These songs were #1 songs in their day. Show's you how have times have changed. El Paso from Marty Robbins. IMO one of the best songs ever written.

I read in a Tori Amos FB group yesterday that Eddie was a big Tori fan. One woman sat next to him & his wife at a Tori concert and she said they knew all the songs. Another person posted an article where he gave Tori a shout-out. They both had classical training on the piano, so I think he appreciated how she used that training as he did, making modern rock music. So, with that being said, please consider giving Tori a listen soon. She's a musical genius. Look for Sugar live - it rocks. The recorded version is a slow ballad, but it really blossomed with the band.

[@_Common_Logic_]

I just say an interview with Eddie (surfaced after his death) and in one part he mentioned something about not listening to music in his personal life... As a musician myself, I found it weird, but if that's true, I'm guessing Janie was the Tori Amos fan... Happy wife/Happy life. ;-)

Kicking leg out - Chuck Berry. Jumping guitar with legs ala Jordan - Pete Townshend

[@KatrinaVowell]

Good answer

[@joeday4293]

Doing it all at once while murdering the guitar: Ed

[@Jamie-jg6yt]

Yeah I thought it was chuck berry. He started a lot of stuff.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

It's called a Duckwalk and yes Chuck Berry started it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckwalk

[@girl_overthinx]

I was going to say the same Chuck Berry with the leg out, the guitar with a jump would be Pete Townshend. Unless someone can come up with someone earlier.

[@870expressmag]

Those harmonies...........Incredible!!!

[@sruhs]

Chuck Berry did the kick back in the mid 50s. Probably others before that.

This was the first Van Halen record I ever bought. It was a 45. I can still remember talking to my best friend in the seventh grade on the phone and we both said did you listen to the other side, that song is just as good. It was D.O.A. I'm still a fan and a guitar player and still friends. Life changing moment for me
