WE SIZZLING NOW!! Van Halen - On Fire (2015 Remaster) | REACTION

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Eddie literally pioneered a whole new style of playing guitar. As a teen I was blown away. Still am at 58.

[@Brainshave01]

Preach brother

[@riknroll5150]

This album changed the whole scene in 1978...Everybody after tried to copy this and failed

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

People are still trying to copy Eddie after 45 years. None of the contemporary Instagram shredders today can write just one of these catchy, well crafted, sophisticated yet fun sounding bangers. It’s pointless really. He was an Alien and will be still highly regarded for centuries to come. Just like Mozart

[@djmylesmatisse]

Just think about this...when producer Ted Templeman was working on this album, he didn't think David Lee Roth was a strong enough singer and wanted to replace him for the first album with Sammy Hagar. How crazy is that? Ted and engineer Donn Landee worked with just Dave on vocals away from the band because they didn't want the band to know Dave was struggling. Ted never approached the other Van Halen band members about replacing Dave and by the end of the recording session for the debut album he realized Dave was in fact the man to front the band. In fact, when Van Halen and David split in 1985, Ted refused to produce their 5150 album with Sammy Hagar unless they changed the name. That's how strong Ted was that DLR was the ONLY singer to be their frontman. Today? Ted thinks Van Halen wouldn't have made it the way they did without David Lee Roth.

[@padfolio]

On Fire was actually the first song they recorded for the album.

[@eidetecker]

That song can do no wrong! Their performance was raw, ferocious, hungry perfection.

[@heyskipj]

Remember, this was their debut! They brought fire and a new flavor to every song.

[@cajunvikingrecords]

I was 8 years old when this album came out. At 8 years old, I became a Van Halen fan. ❤

[@trumpchump3539]

I was 9

[@eddievantrollen3459]

Thanks for the numerous and superb reactions to THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN! You, my friend, are ON FIRE!!!

[@steveb6008]

The greatest screams in rock

[@ernistnewman9659]

And every Van Halen album had a guitar solo on it not just in the songs but an actual guitar solo

[@chrisgarcia9629]

This album was a game changer and it is a 10!!!

[@VanHalenStarWars]

Van Halen at their most VAN HALEN!! Still can’t touch this. Word

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Great job dissecting so far. Can’t wait for VH2 and Women and Children First.

[@chrisgarcia9629]

The harmonies are a 10! Michael Anthony was the icing on the cake!!!

[@jackolson8775]

That scream at the end of the 1st verse is incredible. It sounds like he blew his vocal chords straight outta his neck!

[@steveb6008]

I agree...that scream was insane

[@ws7077]

I wish more people mentioned how the initial guitar break is Eddie making his guitar sound like a fire alarm. Fits the song theme so well...

[@andrewkubat1506]

Van Halen I was a punch in the face! There was nothing that sounded like this before. Eddie's guitar work left listeners saying. "What?!?!" On every track. David Lee Roth's bombastic vocals were so unique. Michael Anthony's bass and harmonies have become legendary. Alex's drums backstopping the whole group. There will never be anything like VH I... ever.

[@eddievantrollen3459]

My feelings are the same regarding Fair Warning and the debut- both are out of this world. The debut has the unbridled energy and jagged edge of one's youth. Fair Warning is the finely honed and polished blade of a samurai warrior who has mastered his skills.

[@jakeenan]

Eddie had the vision, the freedom, the formula.....and was also blessed with three band mates that not only got it but ran with it too. That's why each generation continues to discover their music.....it's the past, present and future all rolled into one. Only the best of the best can conjure up that magic.

[@artis1969]

Ed did what he did because of the other three completely holding up their end of things. As strange as it is to say, what's remarkable to me after 46 years is really focusing on everything going on outside of Eddie's masterful playing. We could debate the Sammy era as much as we want. But this is the truest and best version of the band, these four guys and Templeman at the controls. They could do it all, whenever and however they chose. This record only gets better over time.

[@ronstewart6362]

This was theyre opener on theyre 78 set list. The Mighty Van Halen taken over the World. They were musics version of magic.

[@warrenyoung7503]

That song is pure 🔥

[@roberthoeg1964]

At 1minute 45 seconds is the best rock scream you will ever 👂

[@dalejohnson2047]

One of my favorite songs from them I believe the super high harmony in the chorus is Michael Anthony

[@hookipaboy3412]

I was a freshman at Maui High School when this album came out and Van Halen became my favorite band!! Liked that ‘Slow Cooking’ Mugnify🤙🏽

[@stevehutnikoff5964]

Album is 10 / 10

[@RoughHouseRock]

For many of the early tours, they opened their shows with this song. Easy to see why. The best song on the album imo. Thanks for the memory lane Mugs!!!!

[@TheDrach13]

Dude this is the most fun I have had listening to van halen 1 (Other than playing it along on guitar) - it’s has been so much fun seeing your reaction to this album -sad you can only hear it for the first time once! 😊

[@starexplorers1202]

VH: Where the origin of the phrase "THAT'S FIRE!!" came from.

[@kenkonwick6660]

That's Mikey on the bass and that magnificent acream at the end,

[@kenkonwick6660]

This entire album put the rock world On Fire

[@AnthonyFilardi]

I still listen to this album 46 years later and I’m still amazed by it !

[@jonp4846]

70's VH rules!

[@przemekz4]

All Lee Roth era VH albums are 10/10. Even Diver Down with all these covers is absolutely fantastic. If you want to hear a different side of Van Halen check out their album 1984.

[@patches6309]

Told you this song is incredible as is the entire album! Great reaction once again Mugs!!

[@mysticchrome4000]

Long live King Edward and Van Halen. I miss you my Friend's.

[@billd7183]

Yo you’re now a full fledged VH fan….welcome to the family

[@roberthoeg1964]

It's always amazed me how in sync alex and Ed are with their playing

[@davidfrost582]

Great reaction to the final on the best debut album ever !!!! Nobody ever talks about this gem but this was one of only two his son Wolf played in the Taylor Hawkins Tribute. Shows ya something.

[@sixslinger9951]

I saw them in '79 and this was the first song they played. I was 14 and still one of the most memorable concerts I have ever seen.

[@AlKirby-n7m]

Rock and roll in the 70-80s was the best the bands were musicians.

[@faceplantor5647]

The ‘fire’ is the systematic scorching of Dave and Michaels vocal chords⚡️

[@Krust_Acean]

I would react to Women and Children First, which is their third album

[@Itelkner]

In '78 VH would open the set with this number.

[@daveperfetti2802]

11 of 10, tied with fair warning!

[@jmm1817]

That was an awesome reaction when you said David sings like he's literally on fire I lost it you were right on😅

[@henridevigne1096]

Thank you for this!!! I still get chills hearing On Fire. Every time.

[@eddievantrollen3459]

For many of us who grew up listening to Van Halen on cassette, "On Fire" was the last song on the 1st side after, "I'm The One."

[@correctlyrics]

Thank you!!!!! I thought I was crazy for remembering it that way. I looked online for this alternative listing, but couldn't find anything.

[@robertcook792]

Great reaction! This is my favorite song on the album. The part of the song”throw your headphones on” then that riff right there to me is greatest riff in rock history. That’s my opinion of course. But that is Van Signature to describe them in a nutshell. I mean if you had to describe them in one song this is the one I’d use. I really appreciate you doing this album and Fair Warning. I’d like for you to go through all of the VH albums. You’ve taught me a lot about their music. Things I didn’t quiet get you exposed. It’s like now I listen to it and it’s new again. God Bless you Bro. Keep the VH fire lit, On Fire!

[@brettbarkow1788]

There is a 4 minute studio outage of this song on KZbin.

[@joeyschwartz5150]

You should also check out Mammoth WVH. That is Wolfgang Van Halens band . He is Ed's one and only son. He plays all the instruments on both of his albums and sings every note you hear on the albums too.. No one will ever take Eddie's throne as King of course. However, his son is very impressive. Check out "Dont Back Down", "Another Celebration At The End Of The World", "I'm Alright" official videos.Start with "Dont Back Down" and watch them in the order I listed them in. Each one plays off of the previous video.

[@ten4thebguy]

Album is an absolute 10 🤩

[@davidmerlin3344]

VAN HALEN 2 is also Excellent!!! All the albums are masterpieces and even going into the Sammy Hagar era! They are ALL just so unique. There will NEVER be a band that can hold a candle to the magic of VH ❤

[@nflr92]

I enjoy these trips down memory lane. I was 15 when me and my buddies first listened to these guys and we all kinda looked at each other with the "how is he doing that? Who is this guy?". We didn't have to wait long for VH II and more of the same. First six albums were fantastic while being an evolution instead of the same thing over and over.

[@garyeason2984]

Peace Mugs!!

[@jamesfarrell4016]

Best song on the whole album hands down!

[@softhotty]

Christmas came twice a year for at least 7 years 1978-1984 especially the first 6 years upon discovering them.

[@greatwhitewolf8465]

Hey man this has been great! It's been years since I've listened to this album.

[@joebarrera9741]

This ALBUMS BEST SONG ❤❤❤

[@bgaona]

This is one freaky little tune. It's like a parody and serious and rocking out at the same time.

[@diverdown631]

On fire, on to VH 2

[@BRB-_-]

theyre just so much better than everyone else lol, with sammy hagar too. the next roth album needs to be 1984. then you gotta do 5150 with sammy hagar

[@robertyates7242]

Thank you for reacting 😊❤

[@wesw6840]

Ok been watching your reaction s a long time ...SUBBING. won me over with the Van Halen reactions 🤣 Thanks brother 🙏 your appreciated

[@MugnifyRTS]

Thanks for the sub!

[@djmylesmatisse]

Michael Anthony on bass and vocals provides those highest vocal notes on the chorus "I'M ON FIRE" throughout the song.

[@timbaker6540]

Great reactions Very insightful

[@JS-iz2fk]

The Diver Down album would be a good choice to do a live steam on.

[@jehudavis5422]

Greatest debut album ever!!

[@todvball]

So my brother n I bought this vinyl in 1978, Mugsy, AND....by the time this song came on, I checked my turntable to see IF it was actually "ON FIRE" ....a little smoke but all was good ;) .

[@rognroll2786]

One of the hardest songs ever…

[@rognroll2786]

Just wait until you hear VHII…

[@big106razor]

My favorite =VH= song! The question is, what's next? 1984 is a strong candidate!

[@andrewgarin2486]

Beautiful job on reviewing the entire album in my opinion. I love the way you describe how it affects you when you're hearing it, you use really cool descriptions on what you hear. It was so fun. I bought this album in 1978 for my big brother for his 13th birthday..(I was 8). Thanks for the great times!

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

VH 2 must be next Biz! Please! It’s got soul and fire

[@roberthoeg1964]

You really need to listen to albums 1-6 consecutively that's all you need to hear .

[@williambordeman1653]

Van Halen 2 another good album

[@andrewgarin2486]

VH1...all the way. The hunger, energy, intro to a new rock style, and groundbreaking legend will never be surpassed.

[@Dailyheraldvids]

You should do 1984 next in particular, the track girl gone bad

[@mikemullaney3065]

Dude, these reaction videos are THE GREATEST. LOVE you, subscribed, keep the Van Halen coming, you are the best.

[@haroldkeil8582]

Masterpiece!!!

[@terryconnelly484]

Don't forget about that bass Michael Anthony is so underrated ..1 of the best I've heard And it's not in the background Like others And he plays a jack Daniel's bass.. And that was the bass riff u enjoyed

[@timwanwick6503]

This album dropped a DEVASTATING BOMB on the 1970s Rock music scene!

[@trentrock3210]

This was the first song they played when I saw them.

[@jimmyboy131]

Mike Anthony sang a lot of the background high notes. Eddie once called him "the piccolo from hell".

[@steveb6008]

This whole album is supreme rock attitude. Nothing since this album was like this

[@elroz1675]

OU812...their 2nd album with Sammy Hagar (1988). Worth a look! Especially "Black and Blue" and "A.F.U". Thanks for your reviews - it was great!

[@terryconnelly484]

Good god y'all!

[@wesw6840]

High note 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻appreciate you brother 🙏 thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@fredahlberg7193]

Album order #1 VH, (just did it). #2 is VH2, #3 is Women and Children First, #4 was Fair Warning(you did), #5 was Diver Down, and #6 was 1984. Those were David Lee Roth singing. Then came the Gary Cherone quick minute, then the Sammy Hagar years.

[@ccc-nb5ym]

LOVE your Van Halen reviews, Sir!!

[@MugnifyRTS]

Thank you kindly!

[@French62164]

Was told this was the first song they recorded in the studio for the album

[@nikkiloverde8871]

Love your reactions, had to watch all the Van Halen. So glad someone turned you on to the Awesomeness known as VH. Continue to go in order so you can take in all the talent as they go on. There's not a "bad" album until after Samy (IMO). If you want a live concert..... Live without a net. DLR is great in studio. 😊

[@hkydave1964]

Van Halen LIVE 3 songs at Oakland 1981

[@sweetwilliam5150]

Might as well go in order Mug. VH2 be next.

[@Confare]

One of my favorite VH songs ever. This album and Fair Warning are my two favorite albums. VH II, 1984, and Women and Children First are a close 2nd. Might as well do VH II next. I would do the albums first and then the live stuff.

[@johnmcmahonBXLA]

This is the best footage available of their first world tour in 78 in support of their debut masterpiece: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2nTl6tnd5p_jLMsi=81uWWyuy7EiDZ0zO

[@jeffreybosiljevac3408]

David Lee Roth was the singer on the first 6 albums. Van Halen, Van Halen 2, Women and Children First, Fair Warning, Diver Down and 1984. Then in 1986 Sammy Hagar replaced Dave as the new singer of VH starting with the album 5150.

[@ronstewart6362]

The first 6 albums are Dave on vocals. In order there VH 1, Vh 2, women and children first (3), fair warning (4) diver down (5) and 1984 (6).... Then comes Sammy Hagar or Van Hagar some might say and thats 5150 (1) 0U812 (2) for Unlawful Carnal knowledge (3) Balance(4). All good but just different from early VH. After this theres VH 3 with Gary charone voclas and then in 2013 they recorded a different kinda truth with Dave on vocals and Eds son on bass guitar ( very good album IMO). Enjoy the journey. Oh id do VH 2 next .

[@raymo6795]

...I certainly hope you move on to VHII?.I enjoy listening with ya.....there are 2 albums between Fair Warning and VH1, both excellent, 6 in all with the original singer, David Lee Roth, all equally awesome, I really don't have a favorite....you have listened to 2, 4 to go.....then on to the Sammy years, nice job Mugs

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Do Judgement Day, Poundcake, and Is This Love?, all are available as live videos. All three are with Sammy on vocals, and that’s no “dis” to Dave’s vocals whatsoever, but these rock hard with great live production late in the band’s career. 🤘Van Halen debut album, senior in High School when this and Tour came round. All the stars aligned, and the game had changed. Still surprised album didn’t chart higher. 👈

[@jom7604]

Please keep going with Van Halen ❤😂🎉😅

[@claychristy7291]

I love your vids bro, keep the VH videos coming!

[@bobravenscraft5376]

Funny last review But this song tells the story of what's coming

[@MrMustard2U]

Come back with Van Halen 2 full record... it's another Banger...
