The Earth is 4.5 Billion years old & we managed to exist at the same time as Van Halen!

[@davidanthony9432]

OMG! I absolutely Love this Mind-Blowing Quote - One of the BEST EVER!!!

[@dmanwainright2132]

True that greatness!

[@billadkins5150]

Dave’s lyrics are what sets his era apart from Hagar era.

[@wc1994]

It wasn't just his lyrics, it was his attitude also. Van Halen was America's party Band with Roth.

[@raymcarthur3870]

I agree love Sammy but Dave was the lead singer of The Mighty Van Halen.

[@davidcampbell4174]

Lyrics in this song were corny though. Giant Butt, Betty Boop 😂

[@KennyCamaro2364]

Yep ,Dave can’t hold a candle to Sam. Dave is a flash light, Sam is the Sun…

[@Michael-Philip]

1984 was a great album.

[@melvinwomack3717]

Indeed

[@brianomoli4]

I agree. EXCEPT Jump. That song has always been cheesy as shit.

[@SGED392]

@@brianomoli4even cheesy Van Halen is good

[@strangus]

One of my first records.

[@Cosmo__Kramer]

Beginning of new VH

[@mattr27]

Van Halen with David Lee Roth was unmatched! I hope you guys get to Top Jimmy from this album. One of my favorites ever from them

[@joelwatts5260]

Top Jimmy, OH Jimmy, he's the king. I love that song. This album takes me back to some great house parties during my high school days.

[@brianvernon249]

I hear he has the moves.

[@tombo4257]

....and House of Pain from the same album...

[@FeralPatrick]

Man, from the first strum you KNOW it's Eddie. His tone was lush, vibrant, as distinctive as any human voice. These riffs just cut right through life's BS and hit you. For me, anyway. :)

[@bookhouseboy280]

1984 is an explosion of Diamond Dave-encrusted rock brilliance, with Eddie's guitar wizardry, Alex's thunderous drumming, and Michael's grooving basslines leaving a trail of pulsating killer hooks in its wake!

[@jonfazzone5125]

Preach 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@alistaircrowley9442]

“Top Jimmy” and this tune are two of the best from this album

[@wc1994]

Girl gone bad and House of pain are top notch as well...

[@justme7185]

Two gems on the end of this album some newer fans don't know about - "Girl Gone Bad" and "House of Pain".

[@BigTimeRushFan2112]

All hail the Mighty Van Halen!

[@alldayadventures5418]

Played in Gentleman's Clubs all over the country for over 20 years. Van Halen must have had more striptease tunes than most bands.

[@WooBino.]

Motley Crue by a mile.🤣🤣

[@JohnSolo_5150]

​@@WooBino.😂 No doubt! VH is an all-time favorite of mine, and I like Crue, but hands down their music is a staple in 'those' clubs. Not that I've spent much time in them...

[@scottmgso]

Edward Van Halen said this is one of his favorite songs that he wrote. Fellas need to check out “I’m the One” off their debut album!! Anything off their debut album and Fair Warning is a banger!!

[@kperry1969]

Eddie's guitar to close out the tune is like a thrilling, amazing roller-coaster ride

[@ErikaSMHS]

Woowee! Never heard anyone react to this! 🎉

[@oldskool4612]

Wife and I got married in 1984. One of our wedding gifts were tickets to VH in Omaha NE. They were on tour promoting their 1984 LP. What an amazing show. Hot For Teacher is the next tune on the LP. 40 yrs this June and were still going strong. RIP Eddie ❤️

[@jackiesueann3476]

Van Halen are hard rock monsters! 🤘

[@brandon_drummer]

This outro solo always gets me.....One of my all time favorites from Eddie.......I'd love to hear the studio take without the fade-out......

[@TreeFrogWillow]

This song is full of attitude and swagger

[@paulfedor9828]

one of the greatest album covers of all time

[@patches6309]

That drop? OMG! And Dave does an amzing job on this track with his "Fills" with shrieks, shrills whistles and such. The harmony of the background vocals really stands out showcasing Michale Anthony & Eddies voices as well. This cadence on this tune is a BOP!

[@kraig7777]

Dude that whole album is like this, or better. This isn't just one of Van Halen's greatest albums, it's one of the greatest rock albums by anyone.

[@DM-hk4cw]

Such a groove. This is my favorite off this album, sonically.

[@MrDeadstu]

The real gem on this classic album is "House of Pain".

[@nobodyyouknow3017]

Agree. Best VH Song of all time. And that's saying something.😊

[@newworld9133]

House of Pain and Girl Gone Bad are both killer tracks. What a way to close out an album.

[@mattharvey968]

Couple hidden gems on this album are Girl Gone Bad and also House of Pain!

[@2869may]

Absolutely one of the best....!

[@stevemd6488]

We guitarists are still chasing that tone to this day

[@kathrinepearson7528]

This is my favorite song from the Roth years.

[@jimgalligan50]

Dirty movies

[@2869may]

"EVERYBODY WANTS SOME"(I want some too).....!!!

[@Johnfreedom64]

Bad ass Jam.....funky VH...used to jam this rolling up in the school parking lot..ahhhh great memories

[@jakemidkiff5720]

That outro solo and coda is just sick !

[@melvinwomack3717]

1:42 at this point I was sold.i also feel like this is Dave's best vocal performance

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

This song is all time!

[@princeofpcos9804]

Eddie was such a great rhythm player

[@skkrrtskrrt1470]

My favorite Van Halen song since I was young man 13 to 14

[@uprightdoublebass]

I'm waiting on the Beatles Revolver series of reactions. It is a stoooooopid good album. Dig the channel. Thanks fellas.

[@eddievantrollen3459]

Eddie and Alex have such an amazing groove at the end of this song. Love it!!!

[@clifhaley5150]

My favorite song off this album. That dirty drop in the beginning is so nasty.

[@srt8rocketship241]

Eddie's Tone is what grabs you. The King is dead...Long Live the King.

[@mikeb36240]

Aerosmith - "Seasons Of Wither" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Omg yes, that one is soooo good. Steven Tyler said it's his favorite song. I've been listening to Aerosmith since the 70s & had totally missed that one, only recently discovered it!!

[@ronjamhey9851]

Get Your Wings in general!!!

[@jamese.6472]

Eddie was a master of rhythm and groove all the while laying down those sick riffs that “hook” ya. Great reaction guys, keep Van Halen in your rotation.

[@user-gd1ru7er5t]

You guys are the best!!!! This song grabs me so Bad!!!! Love this Jam!!! Imagine cruising the strip on the beach in a convertible car with that song Loud as hell!!!

[@-R.Gray-]

You might also check out the 2 albums that David Lee Roth did with Steve Vai as his guitarist after he left Van Halen. Many point to Van Halen's guitar runs from this period as being influenced by the playing of Allan Holdsworth. Though he was not a commercial success, because his music was instrumental, Holdsworth was admired by people like Van Halen (who got him signed to his label), Steve Vai, Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Santana, Malmsteen, and more. His "Devil Take The Hindmost" is a good example.

[@dancarter482]

_Little Ain't Enough_ kicks ass too!

[@wc1994]

​@@dancarter482Shout out to Jason Becker!!!

[@eddievantrollen3459]

Wish the outro to this song coulda went on forever!!!

[@itsmedrooms6071]

Alex was underrated as well as the entire album. The drum sounds he gets off this album are so unique… the sound of his snare and the ride cymbal bell… always loved this one. The phase on the drums is also a nice touch. I remember back in the day that Modern Drummer magazine nominated this album’s drum production as number two for the year right behind Rush of course. Let’s hear it for Anthony’s signature backing vocal’s. I think Roth’s departure right after this album was a mistake, but as always there was Eddy, such a nice touch here.

[@user-gd1ru7er5t]

For 83-84, production was amazing!!!

[@chopperdeath]

Not one stop or pause, you know it got em'!

[@EddieFan45]

The Full Bug! Romeo's Delight, Hang 'em High,Fools! The list goes on

[@Tydyjav1]

That song rarely if ever gets played on the radio, but VH fans know. “The Full Bug” is another hidden treasure on Diver Down.

[@gary6754]

one of their best deep cuts

[@melvinwomack3717]

Finally 👌🏾👍🏾

[@toddmccarthy8219]

I can’t believe that this album is 40 years old.😢

[@whome1299]

😬😭😱😫

[@nflr92]

I feel like 1984 was the last album where Eddie sounded like "that". Heavy brown sound from start to finish. When this album came out, I didn't think they'd be able to improve on Fair Warning. This record came close but I still love FW the most

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

I'd never heard that record, and I think it's my favorite Van Halen. I hadn't noticed such craftsmanship, complexity, and production--great record. Thanks as always, nice to be along.

[@Show_time3]

I love watching you 2 discover Van Halen songs !! Keep those Van Halen reactions coming !! The outro in this song is epic after the funky beat of the main part of the song…

[@78zappaf]

Glad to see someone finally reacting to this song! Many great songs on this album, unfortunately rarely played on the radio.

[@ewoe21]

This is my jam!

[@Krust_Acean]

That solo at the end is some John Coltrane-type sh*t.

[@timmiller5913]

Great comment

[@swcook1970]

Best song on the album...

[@mark-be9mq]

The harmonies for a hard rock band. Nice

[@Gordy63]

Might just be my favorite VH song 🤘. Thanks for bringing this one back to the surface for me!

[@jimsebastian2846]

Another great review guys! Kick ass song 🎧

[@Konastang18]

A most underrated song by VH!!! You guys chose a good one!!

[@seansherrod8725]

You guys are AWESOME! Thank you so much for paying attention to the MIGHTY Van Halen! Please Please PLEASE do a reaction to their song "Girl Gone Bad" from the same album...its a BEAST!!! You WON'T be disappointed!

[@timmcfarland2853]

This and a cover of the Kinks Where have all the good times gone are my favorites.

[@gregjones861]

To show you what a fan and lover of music Eddie was, his outro solo was inspired by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, who he pulled strings to get him a better record deal and got all kinds of attention onto him. To hear the result, check out the title track from Allan Holdsworth's album Metal Fatigue.

[@chopperdeath]

A deep cut that is one of VH's finest. Slow but rich.

[@melvinwomack3717]

As an honorable mention id like to throw Van Halen's little guitars in the mix😁😄ok I'm done

[@cosmiccowboy7764]

Little Guitars is a cool deep track off Diver Down Album

[@darrendixon3191]

Well said gentlemen. Perfect reaction!

[@mattblatchley2061]

Ed and Alex' father was a blues/jazz musician...and you can tell...the brother's GROOVE is unmatched...GREAT react

[@corey6393]

Been a VH fan since growing up in the early 80's and listening on my walkman. But I always seem to come back to their more bluesy, dirty sounding stuff like this. And the entire Fair Warning album.

[@bcowan20]

What drums folks - holy F🙏🙏

[@flastatenole]

That guitar solo on this is so good! That ranks right up there with one of Eddies best!

[@greymattervandal]

That outro solo is easily one of Eddie's best.

[@bob5074]

I went to this concert tour. Saw them at the Capital Center in Largo, MD. I was in 11th grade. What a time to be alive!

[@jsb9317]

Always forget about this song, but it's so good!

[@mike70282]

Always loved this song..

[@mrh3578]

What a great song. Great groove and Eddie’s guitar playing was masterful

[@Cevan42]

I managed to hitch hike from UMass to Hartford civic center to see this show is late 1983.

[@frankmarx8997]

Great reaction. You guys can pick any song off their first 6 albums. They’re all great.

[@gloryn4394]

Rabbit Hole ---Van Halen lps 1 thru 6. All with Roth, great stuff. 1984 is the 6th btw saw them for this tour, amazing.

[@HardBlues]

Love this tune

[@Jude_196]

BANGER!!! They were SO, SO GOOD during this time! ECHOING all the sentiments that the album, 1984, WAS FIRE!!! HAPPY FRIDAY, GUYS!!

[@tjmasson1013]

Hell yea. Wore this tape out in my 84 gran Prix. Love the heavy bottom to this VH classic. !!! 🔥

[@andrewkratz226]

U guys are awesome

[@johnconk1]

Masterpiece

[@ironsausage808]

I think I read somewhere that Eddie was going for a Back in Black kind of grove on this song. I hear it.

[@jackieannsims2871]

This is one of my and my sisters favorite songs!!!

[@jeremiasnovaisteodoro9809]

Musica colossal👏👏🦖🇧🇷

[@jimbusby8298]

The Band 🎯

[@willblood7082]

Love it when you guys do the deeper tracks, so much great music out there that didn’t get a lot of airplay 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ekgrafix]

When VH was in the studio for this one, ACDC 1980 back in black was basically the biggest rock album and Ed wanted to catch in on some of that magic. Wanting Al to play drums more "straight" than normal while they practiced... it didnt last cuz Al just has too much swing and jazz in his playing so Eddie gave up. BUT you can tell this main riff is basically a "lift" off of the track Back in Black, with Eddie just doing Eddie stuff in between the big chords. You can def hear the eh - influence. Also, I hear ACDCs TNT in the main riff of Panama, if you slow that track down a little give it more stabby feel its very similar to TNT.

[@dougwill8850]

Great table dance song.

[@thomastaylor9579]

seen it live at the fabulous forum in Los Angeles back in 1984 I was a sophomore it was their last tour together, with Diamond Dave ,Great Show live, my buddies little brother got arrested at the hotel in the parking lot, after the concert we were trying to get autographs. And we seen them going inside, it was a wild night we were all high and shit !!!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Thanks, been looking forward to this one!! Yes, one of their signatures is there's almost always a point where they slow down...I love that. You should check out their song, And the Cradle Will Rock, also very cool. Eddie knew how to write great rock songs & Dave was amazing at lyrics and vocal delivery.

[@jongee5227]

this was a tune I used to listen to over and over - great guitar solo over a chunky groove

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

Lol😂 chi “I love that album with the baby on the front”!

[@ryanheckathorn3856]

Greatest rock band of all time!

[@aaronribnicky9917]

Perfect analysis, gentlemen. You hit on all points. Thank you!!!

[@mr.potatohead6138]

We did not know how good we had it back then, the difference from then and now is polar opposite !!

[@jimdunagan4180]

ha ha I love this song
