🎵 VAN HALEN "ICE CREAM MAN" REACTION

[@annaoswald5943]

Between Brad's realization and then play on the lyrics, and Lex grooving along with nearly every single note. This was my favorite Brad & Lex Van Halen reaction so far. So much fun.

This song is a great example of what separates the great bands from the good ones. Great bands can do songs that aren't typical of their sound.

Every song on the first Van Halen KICKS ASS!! You guys NEED to listen to and react to EVERY song on the 1st Van Halen album, the next one you need to react to is a song called "Im the One"! High energy and totally kick ass guitar and vibe. Lex would DEFINITELY 100% love it!!

The song Ice Cream Man was written by John Brim and was first recorded by John Brim in 1968...one of my favorite Van Halen cover tunes.

[@EattheApple666]

Did not know that, thanks for the education. 👍

[@Mahnamahna1100]

Brim laid this track down on vinyl in 1953, actually

Singer David Lee Roth actually plays the acoustic guitar on this song. In concert, Dave had a guitar shaped like a creamsicle on a stick, with Davesickle written on the guitar. Plenty of videos from the 1980s of Dave playing the guitar in concert.

[@DanSolo871]

👍🏼 A lot of people don’t know that DLR could play guitar. He’s actually quite good as a rhythm guitar player. I wish he played a little more but when you were in a band with EVH, and the fact that you’re one of the best frontmen of any rock bands, 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@flibber123]

This song is an example of why the David Lee Roth era Van Halen was the only one I liked. His vocals and personality add as much to the appeal of the music as EVH's guitar work. Of course, some people just don't like Roth, but I have no problem with him. Their later music was more polished but in a generic rock band way.

A few months back, I re-watched all first 3 seasons of Boardwalk Empire and the only two songs I recognized were Just A Gigolo and Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now. And that's only because of DLR. Literally the only 2 songs that were even semi-recognizable (they only used songs of the day).

[@sumonjamal1653]

Original VH singer David Lee Roth was a character... he loved to do cover songs. Even after leaving VH, he recorded covers of Beach Boys' "California girls" ... also songs like 'Ladies night in Buffalo' ... 'Just a giggolo'... Eddie Van Halen was apparently not happy when half of Van Halen's 'Diver down' album in 1982 were covers.

[@tambor76]

I love Diver Down.

[@philpennington826]

I see Eddie's point. Van Halen were frickin' VAN HALEN....NOT "the world's best cover band".

[@alexo5861]

Around the time of Diver Down, Eddie was moving more towards keyboards. DLR and Ted Templeton wanted to repeat what they knew worked, Eddie’s guitar. By the time they recorded 1984 they relented and let Eddie do his keyboard stuff too. Ted Templeton has said in hindsight he did not see it but Eddie was right.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@alexo5861 yeah... Eddie insisted on calling the shots on '1984'... DLR relented, but was miserable on that tour... Sammy Hagar in 1985 just let Eddie do the music he wanted, which is why it was a better collaboration for a while...

[@chriskrueger8225]

I know Eddie was also upset because he had a keyboard riff he had wanted to use for their own song, and it ended up being used in the beginning of Dancing in the Streets. That was a horrible song to cover!

[@Me-qp8vz]

He was a man of the night but he never charged...listen to the song again!

[@tambor76]

Brad & Lex, ya'll might wanna know this is Van Halen's first lead singer David Lee Roth playing acoustic guitar on that song. He was very important to the bands success, and was no doubt the bands most popular member. He pretty much owned the 80's.

[@explodopink1086]

Brad and Lex, you guys GOTTA react to Van Halen's STAY FROSTY. It is basically their Ice Cream Man part II recorded in 2012, some 34 years after Ice Cream Man released in 1978. It is amazing, just as cheeky and just as heavy and fun too. Please consider reacting to that. Keep up the fun videos. You guys are a fun distraction from all things dark and depressing in the news these days. Stay frosty my friends. :)

[@ptrain9020]

I love Lex's upbeat positive vibe she's got going on just jamming and getting into it and I love it.

[@kylerjones4411]

Probably my favourite guitar solo. When Eddie arrived people thought it must be machines and effects. He used less effects than anyone. He was just so machine-like precise and had so much feel everyone just assumed. What an amazing person. FYI Brad and Lex: that's Dave on the acoustic at the beginning. I can just picture Eddie gritting his teeth having to listen to it every show.

[@ROBMCKISSOCK]

I read that when Van Halen was in the studio recording this song, Eddie Van Halen created the guitar solo on the spot, first take, off the top of his head and that's what you are hearing in this song and he compared it to falling down the stairs and landing on your feet.

[@Ogrelord5150]

You guys are awesome, love your takes. This is song is a traditional blues song (why you feel it's from the 50's 60's) supercharged and given high energy treatment by the Mighty Van Halen. The solo has a bunch of blues guitar standards that are just taken to another level by Eddie along with some of his own licks. Yes, you need to listen to the whole first album and then realize what was around in 1978 to see how Van Halen changed rock.

David Lee Roth, the groups original singer, has an interesting personality that fits well with songs like this. After going solo he sang a number of similarly amusing songs; 'Yankee Rose', 'Just a Gigolo'...

[@Zundfolge]

He may not have been a "man of the night" in this song, but on David Lee Roth's EP "Crazy from the Heat" he does "Just a Gigalo" (a cover of an old standard from the 1920s ... funny, i was going to just type "from the '20s" but now we have to be more specific ... its weird livin' in the future). You should check out David Lee Roth's solo work after Van Halen because it was campy and obscure covers (like this one, which is an old blues song from the '60s) that Dave always wanted to do that really drove the conflict between him and Eddie and ultimately got him kicked out of the band, so he goes all out with this type of song (rumor is Eddie absolutely hated Icecream Man)

This song just reminded me of a movie called Crossroads with Ralph Machio, the original Karate Kid. Anyways the movie is about a kid who's a classically trained guitarist, but his passion is playing the blues and knowing all its history. He ends up helping an old bluesman escape an elderly home because he claims to have some knowledge of which I'm blank at the moment. Anyways he really wants the kid to take him to the Crossroads to make another deal with the devil. Some really good guitar playing in this movie. And you get to see Steve Vai vs the karate kid on guitars.

[@jhamler1]

Van Halen in the '70's and 80's were just pure and unmatchable unadulterated California fun in the sun pyrotechnics. They didn't really skip too many beats when Sammy Hagar took over for Dave and Dave didn't really dishonor himself too badly when he went solo. It was the Eighties, after all. And while there's no debate that DLH era Van Halen was better, don't sleep on the Sammy stuff, either.
