Van Halen - Everybody Wants Some!! | REACTION

[@pattimiranda8679]

It is a party song and awesome live!

[@louisvilledave]

I was security for the stage and dressing room in 1984, Freedom Hall. I got paid to eat and drink with the boys (and girls). Great Show!!

[@EricGori-k9h]

Eddie's guitar licks sound so wicked on this track, amazing!!

[@kdm71291]

An accurate first assessment.

[@rachaddle6581]

I know every single song of Van Halen..been a listener since the 70's. Sure would love to hear their tunes for the very first time😁

[@jtscott3776]

I remember DLR on Howard Stern saying that he improv'd that whole stockings & heels part in the studio talking to some ladies sitting in the south booth.

[@Hillybean30]

Any of them with David singing is fabulous! In the movie Better Off Dead it’s used in one of the best scenes in 80s movie history!

[@heyskipj]

"Take Your Whiskey Home" is the underrated gem on this album, IMO. Bluesy riff. Short. Blistering guitar solo. Popping drums and bass. DLR's soulful and chuckling delivery. Gold.

[@evhleppard]

Love Van Halen

[@geoffbacka3800]

Of all the band photos in rock history, this has got to be the best That pose is pure rock and roll.

[@randyteta9170]

Damn a lot of party memories with this album as a soundtrack to my teens

[@buckdraper303]

Van Halen the ultimate party band.

[@the9-2-5outlawreviews3]

Party as in lots of recreational drugs including the white and the green.

[@GregB419]

In the 70's, the ultimate party band was, the J. Geils Band 🥳

[@dawnpatrol700]

This song comes alive in the dream sequence of the 1985 movie " better off dead".

[@smbake]

Definitely! I still think of hamburgers when I hear this song..

[@KC-ns9do]

Love that movie! 😂

[@Duct_Tape.]

My favorite movie ever. So many lines. "Jeez, Ricky, sorry we blew up your Mom."

[@kmac10-8]

​@@Duct_Tape. I want my 2 dollars!!!😂

[@Topgunphoto]

@@Duct_Tape. The ultimate quote movie!

[@chrisrolph6333]

It was in the animated hamburger stand scene in "Better off dead"

[@gerib4234]

This song is great in concert 🤩

[@MissAstorDancer]

OMG, I can only imagine!!! HEAVY tune!

[@dgator3599]

Saw them on tour promoting this album. Fire!! I remember my dad yelling down the hall to "Turn that shit down!" LOL!!!

[@geoffbacka3800]

Same here. Roth asking for some jungle lights before this song. Stage goes multi-coloured polka dots. He looks around..."WTF is this? Give me some green, man!"

[@briancarr4607]

That's when you knew it was good ?

[@rothed16]

Lol gotta love our parents comments on our music 😂

[@bradhyatt3906]

Romeo Delight is absolute fire off of this album.

[@Critical_Thinker858]

I’m a fan of “And the Cradle Will Rock” from this album.

[@Critical_Thinker858]

I think 502 should also check out "Take Your Whiskey Home" and "Could This Be Magic?" from this album. One of my buddies in HS was a big fan of "In a Simple Rhyme" and I like that one too but not as much as "Cradle," "Whiskey," and "Magic." I think those are the top 3 from W&CF album.

[@MThrow]

Have you seen Junior's grades? =D

[@briantimmons3075]

"The Cradle Will Rock" was the biggest song from this album

[@guslakis]

This was a song which helped many teenagers back then get into trouble!

[@briancarr4607]

With the girls FATHER ?

[@guslakis]

@@briancarr4607 , with a number of people!

[@davidbrock2450]

When I was 16 in 1980 This was my preferred song to come on my car cassette stereo when I turned on to the main drag on a weekend night.... Not too many better cruising the drag songs out there... Not sure if cruising the main drag (street) is still a thing.

[@jamesddr8131]

One of their best.

[@geneadams4171]

This whole album was them changing up their dynamic. This song is a great example of that. I highly recommend listening to the whole LP. The album reminded me of Led Zeppelin's third album where they also moved away from what the fans wanted. Van Halen has etched their place in rock n' roll history, no matter what their sound is from album to album. It also helps to have Eddie bringing the fire. Good reaction, guys.

[@kdm71291]

And yet, it’s still about fun…which is typical for VH.

[@justingutube]

Awesome

[@douglasg.9271]

This was a huge cruising song when it came out, blasting out of cars as they rolled by. Ahhh, memories.

[@repro7780]

I was at an arena concert back in the day, and in between sets, they played music. This song came on, and people went nuts!

[@sbironn]

They were just having fun with this song and it definitely served it's purpose!! It did lift your spirits up when listening to it!! We need more of that these days.😁

[@danjohnson2986]

This is one of the most tragically underrated albums ever.

[@jomojojo6603]

The thing that nobody seems to notice about Eddie's solos is that he makes a good solo for the song. He doesn't wail like a crazy man every time. Think about "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" compared to "I'm the One".

[@generoberts9151]

“Take you Whiskey Home” is another great tune from this album. Guys this is a good album. VH at its best.

[@repro7780]

My fave song from this album

[@legman1476]

This was just a jam that became what you hear. It is a concert staple. Well, it was. Ryan nailed it, it's for drunk people. 🤣

[@janetf23]

Diamond Dave's incredible vocal range and no-inhibitions-ever styling paired so perfectly with Eddie's ultra dynamic virtuosity that Van Halen had me from the jump!😆

[@dianelindquist9796]

Wow…it’s fine😂 this intro is one of the best ever and I guess you have to listen to it again, it’s great! Keep going on Van Halen, so many great songs to explore!

[@timwhitnell7145]

Super underrated tune. Great vibe. Alex Van Halen is so underappreciated on the drums. Guys, you have to hit a lot more Van Halen. All 6 albums with Roth are fire. I love VH with David Lee. Too many great tunes to name but a really bluesy/cheeky one is Ice Cream man off the debut. So catchy. VH with Roth is a good time rock and roll party band plain and simple. Other fire songs with Roth: Beautiful Girls, Unchained, Mean Street, Dancing in the Street, D.O.A. and so on.

[@dennyhayes294]

There was a young lady that came into the studio that was sitting behind the glass and he was talking to her

[@charlesh946]

UNCHAINED!

[@bayareathrasher666]

Soo.. Van Halen, Fair Warning tour Oakland, Ca. 1981 was my very first concert. I was 12 years old..absolutely blew my mind, but best of all three videos from that gig were on heavy rotation on early MTV, got to relive it every time they came on!!

[@sharkmedia5969]

DLR was talking to a girl that was in the studio when they were recording and it is a live staple and high point of their shows although usually early in the set.

[@rogueleader4181]

Saw them on tour for this album. David Lee Roth was fire! And Alex's incredible drumming often forgotten.

[@jgsrhythm100]

" And the Cradle Will Rock" same album !!! 🔥 🔥

[@garytom1935]

Played this song over and over on my cassette,🤘

[@lifeinlimbo2186]

Who Dave was talking to was a couple of girls that walked into the studio during recording of the vocals. He was talking to them during the drum breakdown after the solo and that's why you hear that interruption,'I like' when he came in early before the guitar.

[@leemiracle6840]

It was also in the movie Better off Dead complete with claymation hamburger playing Eddie's guitar.

[@dennismoore3383]

The best movie scene featuring "Everybody Wants Some" is John Cusack's daydream from "Better Off Dead." Stop motion animated burgers and fries... what's NOT to like? LOL

[@supobostarman]

Oh yeah! This WAS my party go-to song back in those days! You completely nailed that!!! 😁

[@jimroddy6190]

I used to play this song on the radio when it was new. Everybody wanted some, for sure. From watching you guys, I know I want to see a set of BOBBLEHEADS from the 502!!!

[@johnbaker9178]

I did see Van Halen on the tour for this album in 1980, at Cobo Hall in Detroit. You are absolutely right. This and the rest of the songs they played from this album were fire. Eddie was at the height of his powers onstage and David Lee Roth was a great showman..

[@dougcarson5202]

If you guys really want to hear "FIRE!" from Van Halen, you'll definitely want to check out the song "On Fire", from their classic, 1978, self-titled debut album "Van Halen". It's the closing track, and it's a Barn Burner for sure!!!

[@chrisstory563]

the song later appeared in a movie called "Better Off Dead".

[@RonBurgundy209]

Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of that great 80’s movie, Better Off Dead.😂

[@tonyperez3920]

David was speaking to a woman that was in the recording studio on the other side of the glass

[@lesleyd2448]

“I want some too” Good1! Great 💿 🔥🔥

[@paulburton5150]

There is so much energy and youthful exuberance in this song. Classic VH cannot be beat

[@bgray625]

Now, class, observe: 3:02 middle dude 3:20 guy on the right 3:37 middle dude again for the win These are some classic examples of "metal face"

[@christarpley6861]

It was in the move Better Off Dead as well

[@kevinsmith4429]

The guitar on this is so sick!

[@kevinsmith4429]

So is Diamond Dave,but a good sick. Personally,I like them to move to the left,but I'm kind of renaissance man.

[@allenlocke1935]

Was heading into my sophomore year of high school when this dropped. This album damn near killed me... no lie! It was the "Party Til You Puke" era . And we took it seriously. There was also the song "Take Your Whiskey Home" on this album. Great song but... for young and impressionable teenagers...very dangerous! You guys are from a time, and at the age, and culture it doesn't hit you like it did us. They were Party Gods! It was a fun time to be alive...if...you survived it.

[@the9-2-5outlawreviews3]

This album pre-dated parental advisory labels that were put on albums in the 1980s up to now.

[@jonhohensee3258]

The first time I heard this song was in the movie "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack. Would have made a good official video for the song.

[@mitchelltrantham5085]

It was also in the movie "Better Off Dead" with rocking claymation hamburgers.

[@johnduval6377]

Every song Van Halen played live was awesome including their covers of led Zeppelin, the Who. This song is like almost all Halen songs, they are about Partying and PU- -Y!!!

[@michaelt.b264]

the whole song takes place on a subway train listen to the guitar it sounds just like a Subway pulling into the station and pulling out

[@ronaldcardinali2809]

Do next from them this : "Ain't talking bout love"

[@chrismalloy7960]

This album is fire!

[@kdm71291]

The Billy Squire song is “Everybody wants You“. It’s shocking that you’ve never even heard of this album! 😱

[@the9-2-5outlawreviews3]

The song first appeared in a John Cusack movie from the 80s called “Better Off Dead” where a hamburger comes to life in claymation form, even playing a guitar. It was just an excuse for the Director to showcase his animation skills from CalArts, Disney’s prestigious art school where Tim Burton graduated from. The scene alone creeped the hell out of me when I was younger. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3XWfHqvqpV5b5osi=50UAXw1_w0SUr4Fg

[@johntrickey7182]

Romeo's Delight. This album sandwiched between VH2 and Fair Warning gets overlooked but not by hardcore fans, this so heavy compared to 2, remarkable album.

[@mypl510]

This song was first in "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack

[@itchyandred4131]

I was just thinking that........ love the singing burger😂😂😂✌️

[@lisadee.]

😊 I like your happy face on this one Nick! ❤ Hey Ryan 🍭and Ty! 🍬 Jungle Love~👠😅 Stay safe guys.

[@firstnamelastname8060]

Live, I can see DLR swinging from a vine over the stage, wearing a Tarzan outfit, doing his screams.

[@lisawilham-pepper]

I am from the 270 and get such a kick out of you all. Eddie was such a master of the guitar. Michael Anthony on Bass and Alex Van Halen on drums were killer.

[@kcoffey0708]

This had to be included on Fast Times At Ridgemont High

[@turnnburn9008]

one of the greatest rock party albums...that's what VH is about

[@yourebusted5786]

Oh man, now you have to hear "Dirty Movies" off the Fair Warning album. It's a killer tune.

[@Massachusetts1963]

Roadhouse blues by the Doors. Thanks!!

[@dewdew34]

If i recall correctly Roth was joking with the producer during recording and they ended up using it.

[@AW11-e4h]

RIP King Edward 🤘🤘

[@basiliomartinez2116]

Unchained live in Oakland is freakin awesome!!

[@nflr92]

I remember seeing this tour in Rochester and how this song was a chance for DLR to go on a monologue before things got cranked up for real. I couldn't hear for three days after....

[@Confare]

Favorite band of all time. Try Ain’t talking about love, on Fire, Panama, Unchained, plus so many more

[@martinhonan9588]

A little to the right 👍😎👍😎

[@tlucas9798]

I always think of Bauhaus “Bela Lugosi’s dead” when I hear this amazing tune and the movie Better off dead.😊“I’ll wait” is my favorite underrated VH song, surprising synth banger.❤

[@geoffbacka3800]

I get it, with that intro. But man, pulled that out of nowhere.

[@shack_SI]

I can't listen to this song without drinking beer on the back of a pick-up truck, classic David Lee Roth . But my reco for a song I can't listen to without whiskey and one with a real groove, and one even Ryan will like, I highly recommend Mean Streets.

[@thegorn68]

This song is most prominent in the comedy/romance movie Better Off Dead (1985) with John Cusack.

[@katg6325]

Did I see Nick's face turn red when David Lee Roth started talking about the stockings? 😉

[@txrojas]

The movie “Better Off Dead” there’s a claymation cheeseburger that jams to this song.

[@mikekarena]

This album is my favorite at the moment, you need to listen to Romeo Delight and Take Your Whiskey Home.

[@briansummers6074]

This is better than the 1st album. And the cradle will rock. Loss control. Take your whisky home. Women and children first.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Wow, you guys are nuts! *This is Van Halen's best song!* I'm stunned you didn't love it. Having said that, I appreciate your honesty. Too many reactors are afraid to give anything less than glowing reviews, and you know it's just bullschit. You guys are real, so thank you. ps~You're due for some more *Electric Light Orchestra!* In almost 2 1/2 years, you've only reacted to 4 ELO tracks. So next from ELO, I suggest their iconic 1976 song, *"Telephone Line",* you'll love it! (Use the studio version.)

[@kenkonwick6660]

I can think of 40 VH songs that are better. Doesn't mean this is not good, it's very good. Not quite the excellent stuff they do. DLR is excellent, Sammy was excellent as well.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@kenkonwick6660 Other than, "Dreams", which is their 2nd best song, Sammy sucks.

[@kenkonwick6660]

Lol get the wax outta ur ears. DLR was all show and streams. Great front man. But the two sounds that make VH is Ed's guitar and Mike Anthony's supporting vocals. Dave has atbest an average voice. Sammy could actually hit the notes. And live as well. Dave's showmanship was far superior coz his live voice is mediocre, so his shows had to be amazing. I always loved VH from the 1st time I dropped a needle on Runnin with the Devil. But even Gary Cherone was better vocals than Dave.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

True story: went to see Van Halen with David Lee Roth - excellent show. However....we were sitting up in the nosebleed seats and blowing doors. I was on the aisle and I looked to my right just in time to see some guy FLYING roughly 3 feet above the stairs all the way down to the landing. My date pointed at the landing (he saw it, too), and this guy just popped up and dashed off into the crowd.........outrageous

[@kevinwilkins3248]

The GOAT song off the GOAT album by the GOAT band. Dont get how you can bag on this classic tune. And, yes, this was a concert staple for the band when Dave was singing.

[@hollysmith9979]

This is probably one of their fun songs like "Hot for teacher" IMO but enjoyable and as usual you guys make it entertaining....lots of laughs for sure watching you guys looks during the begining was great no offence to Van Halen but it's true David is a character from interviews I've seen.....looking forward to the next one❤

[@SpartyState82]

Van Halen KICKS ASS!!!

[@cindyspears5369]

That ending😂

[@traciebenko-petrie3461]

Being new to channel and after watching several of your videos, I thought you may enjoy Karn Evil 9 by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. The music especially seems right up your alley.

[@richardjacobs7191]

Back in the day they had fair warning album on one side of the cassette tape and women and children on the other side. I warped my first one from playing it so much in my car. Bought another 8 months later and warped that one.😂😂😂😂

[@rothed16]

Dude. This is a great song. Those drums at the beginning are just so cool. Its in my Top 10 DLR songs along with 20 others 😂

[@BuccWylde]

Imo, Mean Street is their best tune.

[@katamedo5703]

You gotta do Mean Street off of Fair Warning. Eddie at his best. 🔥🔥

[@FreeMTrider]

8:02 guys that's a cough you hear.....like smoking some pot cough. Dave says, "whoa where'd you get this shit?" I always thought the song was about all those things no one talks about, but you know everyone wants. Pot, chicks, music. Check out the pic on the back of this LP.
