Van Halen- Why Can't This Be Love First Reaction to Van Halen Video

[@7008205]

Hello I really appreciate this reaction, since it bri ngs back memories from my friends and I listening to this record back in high school in Sonora, Mexico (Next to Arizona). Even my two daughters love Van Halen. Thanks a whole lot!

[@davidwestwater5900]

EVH..Eruption.....you have to ❤

[@SaverioP]

"Mean Street" is Van Halen at their best with David Lee on vocals imo. Definitely worth a listen, even if he creeps you out a little.

[@kevinjennings238]

HELL YEAH!!!

[@mikeholmes5308]

A Van Halen song that doesn't even have guitar playing by the man who changed guitar playing. Interesting place to start.

[@mightyV444]

Still it's the only Van Hagar song I actually liked! 😄

[@jonlate4581]

Are you stupid? There's guitar playing throughout the song as well as a breakdown solo section. Sure it may be the keyboards that are the forefront, I always laughed at the 'guitarists' that could never hear what was going on underneath.

[@jonlate4581]

Dumbell...

[@plpinkham]

Eddie played guitar all over this song. Don't be fooled by this video. This is live footage, but it isn't live music. It's the actual album track. There's guitar from beginning to end, all Eddie. During the actual live shows on the first Van Hagar tour, Eddie would play keys and Sammy would play guitar, but that was only on that first tour. Sammy did not play the guitar for this song on the record, and that's the version you are hearing. Every subsequent tour Eddie used pre-recorded keys and played all of the guitar parts.

[@mightyV444]

@@plpinkham - Yes, that's also how I remember it myself. Eddie did appreciate having Sammy's additional guitar parts during live shows, though 🙂

[@Aussiecris214]

Thanks freind ❤❤❤❤

[@HenryBonesJr]

I think you'd really like Summer Nights and 5150 from this record/concert series.

[@jimmyraidjames]

You should go back to Van Halens 1st album ' Ain't talking bout love or Jamies crying & listen to those outer space sonic Guitar tones from Edward Van Halen that dropped jaws all over the world as we were introduced to a Mozart of a generation R.I.P. King Edward 🎸🎸👑👑 Enjoyed ur reaction 😁😁 oh & Edward was so amazing that even Michael Jackson had him play the guitar solo on Michaels hit song ' Beat it ' 👍👍

[@kevinmarshall854]

You have to watch Eddie Van Halen's "ERUPTION" guitar solo from their 'without a net' tour. He will leave you speechless!!!?(

[@paperbagfilms]

Yes! Eruption guitar solo. Without a doubt, this will melt your noodle.

[@Qrisqornellfan]

One of my favorite VH songs was In A Simple Rhyme

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

"Llama look"🦙😂

[@AlexanderCalderon-kd6mh]

Love '80s! Your mentioning of Friday Night Videos brought back memories! More Van Halen: Jump, Panama, And The Cradle Will Rock, You Really Got Me, Hot For Teacher, Pretty Woman, Ain't Talkin' Bout Love, Right Now (Van Hagar)

[@mattmid7012]

The Flying V. Much loved by the Scorpions at the time too. Now there's another band! I knew you were going to say Jump when you mentioned the video! lol. You should definitely do a reaction to that now if only to expunge it from your psyche 😂 Also you can only admire his in mid air splits. 😂This was on the album 5150 if I remember correctly, which was the first album I got of their's or it might of been on OU812 come to think of it. Believe it or not my mum loved this song. 😁

[@mightyV444]

Nah. 'Jump' is on the '1984' album, the last one with DLR before Sammy Hagar replaced him 🙂

[@mattmid7012]

@@mightyV444 Ah, I meant this song was on one of those two albums.

[@mightyV444]

This is the Album Song played over Live Video!!!!!

[@douglaschap3842]

You need to listen to Right Now, or Cobo Wabo. Two of the best.

[@canis64]

I miss the 80's too. The decade of excess! ;) But I have a bone to pick with you. How can someone who has never heard Van Halen pick the only VH where Eddie doesn't play his guitar? that' hearing Homefree Butts remix as their first song. you need to do a REAL VH song from Diver Down or 1984. Wolfgang is still playing but, Alex has quit music. He is auctioning off all his drum equipment. He only played because of his brother, now playing without him is too painful. Oh, and by the way Sammy's guitar is called a Flying V. keep making Great Reactions.

Van Halen

[@EarlMiller]

The Sammy Hagar era in Van Halen was an evolution and progression for the band, for sure. Especially for eddie, he seemed the happiest around that time because artistic expression got cut loose and set on fire. I understand your sentiment towards David Lee Roth, he's definitely an eccentric individual and the '80s videos were just too much. To his credit though, he was involved in some of the best lyrics and direction the band took that brought them to fame in the first place. I guess what I'm saying is if you can just wipe that memory from your mind and be assured that those videos gave all of us nightmares you'll find some really good music from that time as well. Anyways, enough on Dave. The camaraderie and friendship, energy and execution of Sammy, Michael and Eddie is unmatched, especially in the early stages of that time. Eddie is called the goat for a reason, and as a couple of others have mentioned you really need to watch the performance, “Eddie Van Halen Eruption Live Without a Net” as an appetizer, then branch off into “Finish What You Started” , “Love Comes Walking In”, and “Right Now”. Once you're primed there, the fortune cookies- “In A Simple Rhyme”, “Little Guitars”, and “Unchained”. Lastly, “Women in Love”. I served it up that way for a reason. some of it is meant to be carry-out for later.

[@mellolley8066]

Sammy was Very good with "Montrose". Especially on the Paper Money album.

[@jonlate4581]

EVH enhanced the songs with keyboards. Always listen to what's going on underneath.....

[@jasonbonnette241]

There are some great van halen songs and Eddie is the greatest rock guitarist behind Alex Lifeson :)

I've looked like my photo since I was 18....I kinda accidentally move in and out of fashion without knowing about it....

Okay, let's take you back to 1983 Def Leppard Foolin' or Rock of Ages Thanks for the great music

[@dleasman]

ok... tha't live footage layered over the studio track, so what you see is NOT them playing what you are hearing. Sammy played the rythm guitars live, but what you are hearing is EVH, and some of the rythm guitars is hsi steinberger and not frankenstein.

[@texassendero4901]

Thanks! Love that song. I liked the lyrics and vocals best with Sammy his sole stoff is Good and Michael Anthony the bass player and are still touring together❤❤❤ Thanks Red you are the sweetest FYI Sammy aka The Red Rocker 🎸🎸🎸#redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulduncountrygirl #heartofgoldwithmetalinhersoul

Seeing you repeatedly said you were missing the 80's, you must be closer to my own age (54) than you look and than I'd thought!? 😳😅 And VH's drummer Alex, Eddie's brother, is currently auctioning off tons of his drum gear; The two had been very close, and it looks like with Eddie's passing, Alex also had lost his interest in making music 😌

[@redheadedneighbor]

That makes my heart hurt!

[@mightyV444]

@@redheadedneighbor - Yes, it's quite sad 😌 However, he apparently also has been writing a memoir, which is due to be released later this year and should be a great read, too! 😀👍 By the way, it was quite funny to hear you describe your first David Lee Roth impression 😄 I've always loved 'Jump' and prefer VH with him as their frontman 😊 Sammy is cool as a solo artist or with Chickenfoot, though 😀👍

[@jamesrex3295]

I personally like Van Halen with Sammy Hagar better a lot of people don't realize 80% of the guitar on this what is Sammy Hagar❤❤ Sammy himself has a bunch of great songs❤❤ one of my favorites by him is Eagles Fly❤❤❤❤ I've seen both Van Halen and Sammy Hagar in concert separately❤❤

[@redheadedneighbor]

Oh how fun! You got the best of both!

You have such a beautiful nature and a wicked sense of humour with a heavenly beautiful smile and I can fully understand you missing the 80s as we really did have some great bands around at that time kicking butt like van halen who I was fortunate to see at Wembley stadium in 95 with Bon Jovi and Ugly kid Joe that was a day that I will never forget it was truly awesome and I must say I always enjoy listening to your point of view on this music channel you certainly make me smile with your enthusiasm and bubbly personality keep up the great work and I always look forward to seeing and hearing your thoughts on what comes up ❤❤❤

[@redheadedneighbor]

Thank you!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Oh man, there were some cheesy videos back in the day. I think someone has already requested Eddie doing a solo called Eruption. It's a live performance and I've attached a link to put on your list. Thank you, beautiful neighbor!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3rTeY2lbKemiposi=bTHXYa1C3Bt_xFa_ Psst..... I def love the older VH, but Dave had to go. Could not stand most of their later songs/albums with him, ESPECIALLY, JUMP!!!!🤢🤢
