  • No one on the planet could put a better solo on that song. Classic!

  • I wasn't much of a fan of American rock. Preferred british bands around the time this came out but this kicked ass

  • Oh My God!!!!!! And people are judging vanhalen by there new album? These guys were the kings, and always will be!!! There is nothing that touches the feelings of Eddies solo's!!!

  • Eddie's solo on this shit might be my favorite out of all of the studio albums he's done.Those notes at like 1:00 that he hits dont even sound possible.Shit is just smokin'!! What kinda fuckstick disliked this?

  • @MrStrik9detroit Absolutely no doubt bro!!! There is nothing like this!!!!

  • @MrStrik9detroit - Funny that you mentioned that. I've always felt the same way. There's something about this solo that grabs you. This one never gets talked about, yet it's one of his best.

  • @MrStrik9detroit Some jackass who loves today's "pop" music.

  • In 1981, joints were laced with angel dust.

  • F yeah

  • One foot out the door, Y U ONLY 2 MINUTES LONG?!?!

  • @fraroc ahah well said !

  • @fraroc because this song needs no more than 2 minutes. Highly convenient because this one of the songs which makes you go "Holy shit. I need to hear that again!"

  • van halen with david lee roth is a wasteland party waiting to happen , eddie and roth probably have played and hung out in the most insanest of places , with this solo playing, theyre music nd overall vibe defines the cool kids in the corner of your local keg party , anytime , whether its romeo delight or "tattoo"

    .!

  • I hope their new album is as good as this.

  • "Dislikes"....????? Are you kidding mankind here???? Who are you freaks??? Not music fans, that's for sure.....

  • idiots and morons....I swear. so damn good you don't even know how to react anymore!!! lol....f'n stupid stupid people.....Oh, wait Lady Gaga sounds good!!!! There you go!!! Fuckin' die already.....

  • The synth riff is absolutely sinister. The guitar solo is pure, bitter fury. All hail Fair Warning, Van Halen's most intense statement.

  • Eddie solo...

  • THESE GUYS HAD THEIR TIME BETTER THAN MOST ANYONE OUT THERE WHEN I SAW THE TOUR 4 YRS AGO I JUST RESPECTED THE ACCOPLISHMENTS OF THESE MUSICAL GIANTS NOT WHAT THEY WERE AT THE MOMENT THEY PROVED THEMSELVES 1000 TIMES OVER AND THERE IS NO NEED TO PROVE THEMSELVES ANYMORE..............

  • I need somebody to donate me a face...Eddy just melted mine off with that solo

  • @tittyj2020 Word to that! mines no good either now :( its all dripping on the floor.

  • The solo is a perfect example of what Ed said he learned from his father: falling down the stairs and landing on your feet. Listen to the solo and think about that.

  • ed is diggin his own grave and destroying his own legacy it sucks for us fans

  • @motleycrue24 what do you mean?

  • @bbutters2 how he smokes and drinks heavily and could barley play the last recent tours hopefully thats all behind him

  • @motleycrue24 dude hes 60 not everyone is built the same

  • @fixitluis i think your taking my comment a little to personal there chief

  • Gary Cherone and Sammy Hagar disliked this.

  • I say Eddie Van Halen is one the best guitarist in the world !!!

  • Classic Eddie harmonic squeal at 1.03. Guitar God!

  • What tone.... phrasing Hes the king

  • VH is my fav but fuck eddie and alex for NOT including michael anthony in the reunion

  • @couch63 I agree, Without Michael Anthony They lost the combined sound on the backup vocals between him and Eddie.

  • @couch63 Whats the story behind that, I heard Michael refused.

  • @WaxHeadroom The whole reason Mike got fired was cause Eddie didn't like the fact that him and Sammy were talking to each other, Mike won't come out and say it, but we all know he wants to back in Van Halen, especially cause he was replaced by a then 15 year old kid, that's his RIGHTFUL place, we all know Mike's pissed...but he's too easygoing and nice to say it, that's why Mike's my favorite Vh member, he's not a dick like Ed and Alex.

  • @WaxHeadroom Yeah check out Michael on That Metal Show archives on the VH1 Classic website. He says he didn't know he'd been replaced until he heard in the news like everybody else. fucktards Ed and Alex didn't have the guts to let him know personally. I won't give them $1 for a ticket unless Michael is back

  • Great album and tune! Great, classic Eddie solo, too!

  • Rock/ Metal has NOTHING to do with grunge, Grunge makes you a follower, you all look and sound alike (horrible)...Rock/Metal makes you believe in yourself and you're dreams, it is FOR people, not designed to make people destroy themselves, like modern music does... Music was made to elate the spirit, (make you feel good) The crux in all of this clatter is clear, if you can't sing or play, you're wasting everyone's time, including yours, trying to perform or record..... Rock/Metal FOREVER...

  • Magic. Pure magic. This is their best album.

  • Good god Ed rips your face off with this one!

  • very 70s here

  • @Rorschachxx1985 Which's interesting, because this album was made at the beginning of the 1980s.

  • This is probably the only VH album I can think of where the shortest song isn't an instrumental. (Besides 5150 and OU812. Those didn't have instrumentals.)

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist I thought Sunday Afternoon In the Park, which was an instrumental, was shorter than One Foot Out the Door, or maybe they're about the same length. o_0

  • @19torento This is about 3 seconds shorter.

  • Is and has always been, BAD-ASS.

  • Most furious solo ever playhed.

    I'm sure Eddie was angry about something when he played this.

  • I realize I like all VH albums of the Roth Era. Still would have to check the Hagar side, but , having listened to the Van Hagar hits, I'd say the Roth Era did more musically. I like some things from the Hagar Era, but they went a bit syrupy.

  • @MultiDannyboy89 Look up Seventh Seal, Summer Nights, Get up, Doin' time (great drum solo), Judgement Day. those are the best Hagar songs.

  • @MultiDannyboy89 I like pretty much all Hagar albums a bit except For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Poundcake: Good song! Judgement Day: Good song, but a pretty lame solo. Spanked: Meh. Runaround: Girly. Pleasure Dome: Meh. In N Out: I hate the vocals in this song. M.O.A.M.: Always gets stuck in my head and never gets out. This Dream Is Over: Meh. Right Now: Good Song! (ish) 316: Too quiet, but good. Top Of The World: Hate it. That's just my opinion however. I'd suggest it, but not fully.
  • @PowerMetalEuphonist I thought Spanked was pretty good. What's so girly about Runaround, besides being an upbeat song? I don't think guys have to listen to dark, ominous music all the time.

  • @19torento Well, for Runaround, I'm not sure why I think of it that way... It might be Hagar's voice in it, but that's just how my mind interprets it.

  • @19torento And Spanked is Ok, it's just not one of my favourites. Also, I don't always listen to dark, ominous music. Cryin' by Joe Satriani is one of my favourite songs.

  • The last of the ONE'S great solo's, privileged to be born at the time I was, to witness sonic History when it happened!

  • Barack Obama loves VAN HALEN!!

  • @jeffreygaudreault It fits, Obama's a beast, and Van Halen are beasts

  • @cford1992 I agree that the members of Van Halen (aside from Wolfgang, because he was a poor replacement for one of the coolest base players of all time) are all beasts, but what has O'Bama done to make him a beast? o_0

  • is it me or does like one little part of the solo sound like part of the solo he did on Michael Jackson's Beat it?

  • @guitarman6486 dude thats just how he does his finger tapping its the best and he uses if multiply times

  • @guitarman6486 you are right 0:59 "part" is same as Beat it "part". He use this "part" many times and imported it from allan holdsworth.

  • CHUCK NORRIS LIKES VAN HALEN...............

  • This song is the hottest bitch in the room!!

  • who ever dislike this shit can burn in hell WHOS WITH ME!

  • @DustinSevinVH10 all 4 dislikes are probably someone who created 3 additional accounts lol

  • 1 Dislike??? Who fuckin' cares...your opinion doesn't count anyway, Loser. Go back down into your Mom's basement and jerk-off to pics of Nancy Reagan.

    This is Van Halen at their primal best...they were all at the top of their game. THIS is the Van Halen that needs to go back out and tour.

  • This aint metal this is southern California cocaine booze rock with a little funk mixed in.

  • THAT SUM-A-BITCH.......GOT ME SINGIN' THAT........SAME OLD SONG

  • 1 person disliked this, and had one foot out the door when they found out Diamond Dave and Eddie were coming to kick their ass

  • @cford1992 What about Alex & MA?

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist I didn't include Alex and Mike cause Alex looks like he'd kill a motherfucker, and no offense to Mike, but he's too easygoing to kick somebody's ass lol

  • @cford1992 You never know. On the first VH tour, Mike used to tape fish to the ceiling in the hotel and all sorts of other antics.

  • @cford1992 oh my god that just made my day HAHAHAHA XD

  • @cford1992 David Lee Roth definitely, but I have a hard time seeing Eddie Van Halen starting a fight with somebody. If he got in a fight he would definitely kick their ass, but I think Eddie Van Halen is a pretty chill guy.

  • @cford1992 the other foot was Eddie's foot being shoved in his mouth, while Ed's guitar was being shoved up his ass.

  • 4 those of us fortunate 2 be into their music from the beginning,think about this:There will never be another Eddie & Dave. One of a kind...

  • Aint no match for your mean old man I think its time to roll>>>>>>

  • Van Hagar this could never be...

  • Less than two minutes long, but every second is an orgasm to my ears. Reminds me of the Terminator. ^_^

  • This one hits like a sledge hammer. I don't particularly agree with the Roth-only crazies, but on this album Ed was swinging Thor's hammer. You really can't get this stuff no more. One of the first (but best) grunge riffs...?

  • @jimmyboy131

    Grunge is for PUSSIES !

  • @666patrickbateman666 Correction. Grunge is for emos, and emos are more pathetic than pussies, cause they don't have the bowels to pull the stick out of their ass and actually enjoy life.

  • @19torento dont diss grunge man some great music pearl jam soundgarden nirvana

  • @Rorschachxx1985

    this. Grunge is awesome. So is Van Halen.

  • @Knightgil i know man

  • @Rorschachxx1985 on this clipp its only 80s ppl who desserves to be here , grunge is fuckin 90s hate grunge 80s rocks man van halen rules

  • @MrYngwie88 fair enough 80s is kl as well as 70s

  • @666patrickbateman666 Rock and Van Halen are definitely the best, but not all grunge is bad. Judas Priest is probably the one good grunge group I can think of. Songs like this kick Judas Priest's ass, though, definitely. This stuff is the best, right here.

  • @19torento Judas Preist is a grunge band? What are you on?

  • @darthvaderyoda crystly meth or microdots obviously

  • @19torento Pearl Jam = Grunge.

    Nirvana = Grunge

    Judas Priest = Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, whatever type it is.

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist My mistake. The only song I know by Judas Priest is Cathedral Spires, and for some reason, when I heard it, I thought it sounded like grunge to me.

  • @19torento Look up Painkiller. It is awesome.

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist In my defense, Judas Priest is about as grunge as Van Halen is. This is definitely not a grunge song like Jimmyboy said it was. It's hard rock with a synthesizer for sure.

  • This is PURE MAGIC

    I would gladly pay 500 bucks just to hear the whole complete recording of this tune!

    They should relase the whole complete thing!

    I always wondered what he played after the fade out?!

  • chunky,heavy,bitchin.

  • Play it again,and again,and again,and again...

  • The guitar is a extention of Eddys body!!!

  • Audotune sucks!!!!!!!

  • i love the SOLO

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Cool guitar !

  • i love this fuckin song yeah!!!!

  • Is this a synth or something? It sounds like a synth.

  • man i freaking love alexs drumming

  • this song and album is the samurai sword that slays todays faggy music scene to shreds....

  • this song and album is the samurai sword that slays todays faggy music scene to shreds....

  • Shit, this could be a Black Flag song and I mean that as a compliment to both bands.

  • what a song. what a band. the album cover reeks of forboding power

  • One of VH's hardest tunes!!!!!!!!!!!! Whew

  • the best solo eva!

  • Comment removed

  • Great lyrics from Dave. Awesome solo from Ed.

  • @jwcinc1 no

  • One of Ed's best solos.

  • @smilingpug Fuck Yeah dude! Love this solo!

  • Yes I concur, the song is too short. Eddies solo is mind boggling, just imagine 5 more minutes of Eddie Just blowing on cruise control.

  • This song is WAY TOO SHORT... and I feel ripped off whenever I hear it because they really never did another one quite like it..... Even the album cover is out of this world. This is classic stuff..... whats even more bizarre is the back of this album. This artist is out of his mind.... At first I thought this was a Bosch painting of some sort, then you turn the album over and you see some futuristic stuff with a conveyor belt on it of all things. song has no real ending either, just stops

  • @tedcantu1

    I agree Tedcantu1,

    This song seems like it never ended because that excellent guitar solo at 'the end' could have gone on forever.....

    It's like an interrupted orgasm -

    DAMN!

    I need MORE!!!

  • @lzrb Me too.

  • @jwcinc1 I do, it has a similar dark vibe going on.

  • when i'm looking so mature at a light, if they only knew i had this jammin , almost 30 years and still can't be beat, POWER

  • This song should have been much longer cause it's so freaking good that you don't want it to end

  • Why must it fade out so soon, Eddie was just getting started shredding my face off...

  • @raindelayshowfan1 Eddie was shredding my face, skull, and brains apart the whole time. I am currently in a wheel chair because of what this solo did to me. Who knows what would happen had it not of faded out when it did...

  • I wish the song were longer with Eddie just soloing for another five minutes. This is one I have to listen to a few times in a row, as once just isn't enough. I can't think of a song that kicks more ass than this one!

  • KILLIN' !!!!!!!!!!

  • I was think about a Saturday night with you, I 've been thinking all week long but that son of bitch keeps me singing the same old song, that's the truth

  • wow, what a great tune, from start to end!!!

  • When you haven't listened to Van Halen for a while and then you come back, you realize what a fuckin bad ass Eddie was back then

  • @altjff15 totally dude.

  • @altjff15 Why'd you stop listening to them? o_0 They're the best.

  • Eddie's solo at the end of this has to be the ultimate in deranged, melodic dexterity, that anyone's ever pulled out of a guitar! And it was probably just off the cuff for him. Set his beer down, roll tape and fuckin out comes this!! Amazing...

  • @MOBRUL3S666 i call edwards solos "edgasms"..

  • @dkitty8124 lol

  • BACK FOR MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

  • halens best work

  • Comment removed

  • It sounds like he is hammering and pulling off with the left hand, and using his index and middle fingers of his right hand to tap at 1:29. but I'm not for sure. He was on cocaine at this time, so he found some way to make those insane sonds haha

  • @VanHalenPinkFloyd sry for not being rly specific. I meant to say, I think he is hammering and pulling off while moving down the neck, and using two fingers to tap moving up

  • :56- 1:43 is pure insanity. 1:29-1:38, that is what cocaine does to your guitar playing. In a good way haha. best part of this solo is the WTF part at 1:29-1:38. I have listened to this song at least 200 times and can't figure out how he does that stuff ( the whammy part is easy, but the 1:29 part is.....wow)

  • this song kinda reminds me of QOTSA or something. I like it!

  • Damn,they need to put a new album out!!!

    I need to hear Roth in the Studio one last time!!!!!

  • WTF happened to these guys???

  • The Guitar solo that never ends....Best Guitar solo ever ...no doudt , keeps me wanting to hear more and more and more....!

  • Solo is more incredible than the hulk

  • wow that solo more than made up for the shitty singing on this song. All the other songs have good vocals but the singer must have been on something when they recorded this number.

  • @chickenmanstan the vocals fit perfectly with the song. Raw and real just like the guitar solo.

  • this rules!!!!

  • Hanson could do a better remake of this song, Those guys are so talented.

  • @PumpkinPuffer SAY WHAT!!!!!

  • God damn i never checked out the rest of this album until now all those wasted years! sike im only 15 who am i kidding

  • this kicks ass

  • BigTime

  • Wow...I love finding these songs that are almost as old as I am, that I've never heard before.  What a friggin' solo!

  • @Jim21680

    Dude, when I was in High School in the early 1980's, the vice principal took away my homemade boom box (made out of wood and a car stereo and speakers, and two 12-volt batteries. Screw the vice principles, I am making 4 times the money he made, ha ha ha !!!!

  • Awesome in just 1:54.

  • We played all the treble off this cassette in my Camaro back in the 80s, good times.

  • More in one minute and fifty four seconds than a lot of music does with a whole album.

  • This is my favorite solo of Eds' not because of technicality but because you can hear he probably kept on playing even after the recording was over because he was in mode overdrive when idea's are on fire and you just can't stop.

  • i would like to hear t-pain do a cover of this with his gay autotune

  • as funny as that is ...if I never hear AutoTune again it will be TOO SOON!!!!

  • @JackNYMets789 That's fucking great!!!

  • @JackNYMets789 What!?? Van Halen, T-Pain, Autotoune!!??? Go fuck yourself.

    I hope you are joking/!//. 

  • @JackNYMets789 iwould like to see you die hahahha

  • this song is just really full of energy

    a epic solo by Eddie Van Halen

    great Vocals by Diamond Dave

  • Muthafocking sickness

  • Fucking Sick ass guitar solo by Eddie!!!!

  • DLR era isthe best hands down this is van halen at their guitar best not that key board crap that followed roth.

  • The guitar solo is awsome!!!!!!!!
