  • At :05 i just can't help but act like i make that little "chick chick" noise by moving my hand forward and back!!!! haha

  • Fair Warning---Van Halen's BEST ALBUM!!!!!

  • NO ONE....NO ONE....can touch this song musically, right???? Are you flippin' kidding me people???? God, just give these guys their due, and be done with it!!!! It's not EVEN CLOSE!!!!

  • Fair Warning was Eddie's album. David Lee Roth was awesome on this album. I remember when I first got this cassette after seeing "Unchained" and "So This Is Love" on MTV back in 1984. This was my 3rd Van Halen album (Diver Down was first then Van Halen I then Fair Warning, I didn't get 1984 until that December so my older brothers would stop griping about me stealing the tape, then Women and Children First and Van Halen II finished the catalog in early 1985).

  • fair warning is one of my favourites album.. i dont get why it was so unsucessful

  • @mikoyano because it didn't have a big radio hit. but as a complete album, i think it's their best.

  • @homicidal1 I would put this release #1a with VAN HALEN as #1b. One foot out the door is EVH at his supersonic best!

  • If anyone dislikes this they should be sterilized.

  • My dick gets hard everytime I listen to the Fair Warning album. 

  • Sammy Hagar wishes he could rock like this

  • David Lee Roth + Eddie VH ----- PURE BAD ASSES ON THIS TUNE !!

  • sinners swing is one of the most rockin songs of all time

  • bought women and children when i was 12 holy fuck I bought the rest

  • first 15 seconds of the riff are like an alien ripped a hole in the space time continuem or something crazy back to the future shit. Dam thats not human.

  • My God..this song..!!..to the Happy Place..and beyond..!! ;D..woohooo...!!

  • sheee-augt... feels so good to hear this I'm gonna post it on my FB.... just

  • This song is Ridiculous!!!!!! I love it!!!!!

  • This song is Ridiculous!!!!!!

    

  • heh,heh,HOWLLLLL... I just couldn't stay away that long... this song just F'n rocks.... mc ♪♫ ☺

  • that opening riff... DAAAAMN!

  • ..this album ROCKS!! ..it rocked in 1981..and it still rocks!! :)

  • Fair Warning was the only metal album VH ever did. I always loved it. Diver Down was actually loved by my grandmother who always wanted to hear Big Bad Bill, and Happy Trails. I dont know where to start with that....was grandma that cool, or was that album not rock? No question on this one! I blew some speakers on it in 1985. Its not van hagar, thats for sure.

  • @kevingthompson13 : "was grandma that cool, or was that album not rock?"

    Both!

    I agree but i still like Diver Down as it shows how diverse they could be

  • @sonykroket Its actually why I liked that band, they were not affaid to perform diverse genres of music. That is until Sammy Hagar came on board and that sort of locked them into a single genre. David Lee Roth on the other hand continued with super hits: Just a Giggalo, and California Girls which were GREAT VIDEOS. I actually have a TOTALLY VIDEO playlist that highlights video work such as that at my TOTALLY MUSIC ARTIST CHANNEL.

  • mmm... back with my coffee for some more David Lee social commentary

  • Good ol' kick-ass songs.

  • Love this album. saw this tour. unforgettable.

    

  • @ bigtarget9 the only people who would dislike this song are those who liked Van Halen3. PLEASE DEAR GOD destroy ALL copies of that!

  • Greatest VH album of all time. The PEAK of the 80's hard rock sound.

  • sammy who

  • i would make a clever and witty comment about the people who disliked this song...

  • IM OFTEN HERE.

  • taps right into my adrenal gland!HELL YA!!!

  • when rock wasn't p.c. and had truck NUTS!

  • Still one of my favorite VH tunes!!!! See you'll see my silouwette darkening your door!!!

  • The best band of it's time!!!

  • she looks so f***ing good!!

  • @realmsceo all the greatness has been played already,,theres nothing left for new bands to play.

  • @uwique But you can always hope, right?

  • @MrTerrormonkey i'm hoping it comes to a point where they will have no choice but to bring such greatness back!

  • I'm wastin' time. By not watching this video 24/7!!!

  • Best band ever. Period.

  • 1:35 - 1:52

    2:07 - 2:14

    Sorry, these are my own bookmarks...

  • Just wanted to pop in and salute the TRUE HARDCORE FANS of VH who can only be found on a Fair Warning youtube video. Wassup people??!!

  • @hummarstra We're also some of the few VH fans who bought or will buy this album.

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist lol..l I've owned this on 8-track, LP, 2 cassettes and now am on my 4th CD becauses my exes and friends seemed to have lost them for me... I was in the gym after school my sophomore year when Q102 in Dallas first played this on the radio... it's been my "must have" VH release ever since... mc

  • @yoseewails That, my friend, is a true VH fan.

  • @yoseewails Wow! who does that???? Very impressed. You bleed VH!!!....Cheers.

  • @rd80schild thanks...but I'm more like a David Lee Disciple... being a guitar player I kind of lost interest in Eddie after Randy Rhoades and other theory/technique guru's entered my listening catalogue... but I've always followed up on David Lee....

  • @hummarstra The "Fair Warning" album does..indeed..Kick Ass!! Been a fan since ..forever..and this album stands out as being ..Exceptionally Amazing!!! ♥..

  • @hummarstra Just chillin to some VH and playin some guitar, wbu?

  • @hummarstra This is their most hard core album brother.......Was their best tour too......

  • @hummarstra Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssss­ssssssssssssssssuppp!  My brain just had a shit ton hernia!

  • SHE LOOK SO FUCKIN' GOOD ----- SO SEXY AND SO FRAIL !!!

  • The 2million people who bought this album are the true VH fans!

  • All right, you sinners. SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nan Halen but not Van Hagar!

  • 0 Dislikes? My Faith in humanity is temporarily restored. There is HOPE!!!!!!!!!!

  • I grew up onj this stuff

  • thumbs up if this is your favourite VH song.

  • Youtube made a mistake....There is a dislike button here.

  • @CharlesTeeVee it hasnt been used here yet.

  • @nullnaught Lets just hope that never happens

  • wish youtube had a love button instead of like. killer fucking song.

  • back then this band would play anyone off the stage, and i say any band -stones ,zep, the who and then all their contemporaries too

  • Anyone saying VH blows will get a Diamond Dave flying spin kick to the skull, I shit you not! BAM DOWN HE GOES WITH A THUD!

  • Some dumb bitch tryed to tell me that Van Halen is emo and that the singer sucks. HAHA Dont worry i put that dumb hoe in place after 2 hours of argueing.

  • @NationalSD Hope the chick I met isnt the same 1 your talkin about. She said she had an argument with this guy, saying that VH is emo & the guy got upset. I told her I agree with her, that VH emo (they are NOT emo).I told her "a lady of your stature & knowledge must've gotten the last word". She said she did. I said "I know you told him a thing or two" she said "yeah". I didnt believe her but I did get some *****, which is all I wanted.Probably not same the chick. Did U **** her too? She is dumb

  • @ccatdaddy64 haha no way dude she was mad ugly. all the girls that are in my high school are really fucking ugly or look like crack whores. pretty bad. I dont see how people think VH is emo. Its just hard rock. I mean after listening to this it makes me wana punch some one in the face. If u listen to emo it just makes you feel all depressed. Van halen is not like that in any way.

  • @NationalSD RE :"Van halen is not like that (EMO)" TRUE "really fucking ugly..." so, bent them over if they got a nice ass but ugly face. Easier to get to butt hole anyway, which avoids getting them pregnant. Condoms are a must with AIDS ect butt condoms do break. Don't sweat it, dudes FK up school behind ass, almost as much as drugs.Dudes that dont finish HS usually regret it later and usually end up with shitty jobs. Better to bang chicks fr a different school, less problems usually. Cheers.

  • Greatest hard rock band of all time. With Roth of course.

  • Idea: Watch a video on this album once a day, every day until it has 1 million views!!!!

  • This was voted one of the best guitar tones of all time, I can see fucking why

  • i have the biggest attempt to cover this,but idk if i can pull the solo lol

  • no dislikes the way it should be this was a great album all the way through from a band that were 2nd to none in their prime

  • One of the best VH songs but the new CD is a little late!!!! Call the REDROCKER if you need shit done, no excuses for a 15+ abscene.

  • @redhead5150 I prefer waiting than having forgettable, generic material from Van Halen. This new album better sound like "Me Wise Magic" and "Can't Get This Stuff No More" or it will fail miserably.

  • Comment removed

  • @redhead5150 Fuck Sammy Hagar

  • the brown sound is the best...no arguement. if there is, I'll kill your face off.ROTH BEATS HAGAR, I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT ANYONE THINKS!!!

  • track to tarck you cant stop listening,if you here a early vh song and your blood doesnt start pumping youre dead

  • if u want his username to talk some sense into him here it is

    Falcorocks66

  • I HATE MUSIC OF TODAY!!!!

  • I hate it i where my van halen,ramones,beatles etc. shirts to school and i HATE the music o f today( also known as the style of today)!! This dude told me why do you want to listen to stuff thats from the past? its all bout Right now!

    I socked him in the eye in GYM a few minutes later what im trying to say is everbody wants to be HIP and stupid man WTF??? !!!

  • @StratBanez101 Fuck that bullshit man, you keep rocking them shirts, fuck this lame ass fake music of today, "artists" these days don't even use their real voice, old is better because old is PURE!. No electronics, no altering, none of that bullshit. You want to wear VH, the Ramones, and the Beatles? Fucking do it man, I wear my Van Halen every Wednesday, and my Pink Floyd every Friday, show these dumb ass people what REAL music is man, you got my full support the whole way

  • @cford1992 Im with you man i going to keep wearing my shirts!! Thanks For the Support!!!!

    And its very true what you said about these so called "Artists?"" about them using computer shit to make their voice better. I Dont belong in this stupid era!! Thanks again.

  • @StratBanez101 Not a problem my brother, I don't like it anymore than you do, I'm 18 going on 19, and I can say that I am embarrassed that I had to grow up in a shitty ass society where the music is dominated by talentless assholes, I know what that's like, I would give anything to be in the 60's 70's or 80's where there was REAL music with REAL artists, not this shit that's in our ears today. You were right to bust him in his ignorant ass eye, yeah you got my support, KEEP IT ROCKING MAN!!!!!!!

  • @cford1992 YOU TOO BROTHER KEEP ROCKING!!!!!!!!

  • @cford1992 Trust me, it was no better back then. In VHs heyday, at least in NY, I never heard VH, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Riot (not quiet riot, just RIOT), Holocaust, Venom, Motorhead, Sex Pistols, Iggy Pop, ect. The ONLY time I can remember stuff like this getting any REAL air play was on the King Biscut Power Hour(?) AND unlike now when you might get someone like me to name a bunch of bands so U could do a search on youtube, emusic, ect., if ya didnt meet someone in the know, you didnt find out

  • @StratBanez101 hit the fucker again and tell the cunt that what he thinks is style is just watered down piss from the great music of yesteryear......then piss on him when the little shitstabber is on the deck!!

  • @kamikazilynchmob Yes SIR!!

  • @StratBanez101 p.s like ur username...i have a jem 77fp 1988 oh yeah!!!!

  • @kamikazilynchmob AH nice!!! I love Ibanez Jems! theyre the best! i wish i had one but i have an ibanez RG5EX1

  • @StratBanez101 Same. Everyone criticizes me for loving Van Halen's music.

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist Its hard to live in a world with bad music who knows whats next?

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist That's because they're dumb asses

  • @cford1992 Oh, you don't realize how true that statement actually is in my situation.

  • @PowerMetalEuphonist Bullshit!!! Why would anyone criticize you for liking them?? I'm not a big fan of Guns N' Roses, and I don't go bashing people around for liking them. Tolerance and respect is essential in this world. No two people have the same artistic appreciations. And, in the end, we can always learn something from someone who thinks differently.

  • @StratBanez101 Should have shot the kid, imho.

  • @spawnofwheezedog I would have love that!

  • @StratBanez101 i love "van halen the ramones beatles etc" but i hate you. you give a bad name to good music by being such a fucking tool. do you truly not realize how embarrassingly hypocritical youre being?

  • @danjaja u dont make sense

  • @StratBanez101 thats F++ken great my man.Yo, you should do it again but this time have someone video it so these bitch-ass todays-music-bitc-MFers know the rules.If he is in your class,U should put a Dildo in his backpack. Then, when the teacher is looking say outloud "yo,whats this?" & pull it out of his sack& say "you think its funny to disrespect our school and teachers with this?"then slap him in the face with it. Tell the teacher "Im sorry I was wrong but i didnt like him disrespecting you

  • @StratBanez101 I agree, the shit music nowadays legitimately pisses me off, I wear my Van Halen, Aerosmith, Queen, AC/DC, Rush, and Zeppelin shirts and I dont give a rats ass what anyone else thinks

  • @TOSportsFan1990 thats the way to go man i agree with you

  • @StratBanez101 Haha, you go man!

  • @StratBanez101 TWEEN wave is the shit!! (sarcasm)

    I feel ya bro. Today's "music" blows donkey balls but, let those who like it have it.

  • Van Halen + Diamond Roth = PUT HAIR ON YOUR CHEST

  • @Hunkola DIAMOND DAVE IS THE MAN, FUCK SUCK ASS SAMMY HAGAR!!!!!!!!!

  • DAVID LEE ROTH> SUCKY SAMMY HAGAR. PERIOD.

  • Hawaiian punch+ grain alcohol+VH= good fuckin' times.

  • "She looks so FUCKIN' good......"

  • As a musician, its funny to see the harsh criticism from so many about the playing ability. To me, an above average player that can write killer tunes will win over the speed king anyday. Luckily EVH combined both!!!

  • Wanna know the best way to sum up the Mighty Halen ??

    David Lee Roth = COOLEST ROCK GOD of ALL TIME

    David Lee Roth = FUCKED A SHITLOAD OF HOT WOMEN

    David Lee Roth =  SNORTED THE BEST COCAINE

    Sammy Hagar = FORGETTABLE ASS CLOWN

  • @Democratsmokepole247

    Drop Reagan from your write-up and you've got it perfect!

  • Best VH album fosho.

  • i let the kids hear these tunes and they are amazed and they think i'm an old man at 48 but they are learning that todays music is garbage compared to these tracks... they don't call me old man anymore. they are hearing respect. van halen with roth in the 80's was unstoppable!

  • @edwardprzydzial Right on Bro! I think Van Halen was strongest on their first 4 albums. I'm 48 too so I'm right there with ya. Most of today's music lacks any artistic talent because the record companies have so much control of an artists sound and direction. LIsten to Sabbath, Zeppelin, AC/DC, BTO, Blue Oyster Cult, Van Halen, Nugent, Deep Purple, Grand Funk, Priest, and they all have their own unique sound. You know their songs from the first notes you hear. Not that way today.

  • @edwardprzydzial these poor little saps today missed out on some amazing music!!..but you know,,its not their fault that they were born in the wrong generation.

  • @edwardprzydzial you know man ive though todays music was garbage since i was 7 i get calld the old hippy at school since i listen to all the old rock an old surf music hahaha im 15

  • van halen is awesome in the 80's it's the best

  • The longer I play guitar and the older I get, the more I notice some mistakes in EVH's playing. Like here, in this solo towards the end when he "climbs" up the notes, I hear some "finger tripping." Not being picky though. I notice EVERY guitar player doesn't play perfect 100% of the time and glad they don't. EVH plays like a bad ass.

  • @LedWilde yeah, you're right. EVH is no Michael Schenker or Uli Roth. i think on this track he was going for feel more than technical precision, he's improvising a lot. still a great track. but if you want to hear a really sloppy "guitar god," listen to some of Jimmy Page's solos.

  • @TheEarnold Jimmy Page is my favorite, but yes, he can be sloppy.

  • @TheEarnold michael schenker and uli roth are no evh lets reverse that 

  • @motleycrue24 " hey man, look, evh is great no doubt. but like most guitarists who came of age in the 70s and play a melodic, heavy style, schenker and uli were huge influences on eddie, not the other way around. in fact, EVH learned hammer-ons from the Scorps' In Trance album. your point is kind of ironic that way. all i'm saying is schenker and roth are cleaner than eddie. way cleaner.

  • @TheEarnold lol take a joke pal

  • @motleycrue24 : oh, the truth hurts,huh?

  • @TheEarnold what truth? i have only read opinions

  • @motleycrue24 : sorry junior, you may have just been born yesterday but that's no excuse.

  • @motleycrue24 : btw, Van Halen opened for UFO in '76 when they had Schenker...you can connect the dots yourself...

  • @TheEarnold lol idc bro just because i think ed is better than you favorite guitarist bother you that much? we all have opinions it sucks dont it....

  • @motleycrue24 you're entitled to your opinion. if you prefer EVH over Roth or Schenker, fine. but that's a little like preferring Justin Timberlake or Justin Bieber over Michael Jackson. EVH is a bad-ass and will go down in the Hall of Fame for bad-ass guitarists, but the lineage of his style traces directly to Schenker/Roth, who pretty much invented the heavy melodic school of playing. Yngwie is another example. So is (early) Iron Maiden.

  • @TheEarnold There is countless interviews where Ed referred to clapton as his main big influence also jimmy page and from what i know clapton was around way before any of those guys

  • @motleycrue24 ok, but Eddie doesnt sound anything like Clapton, who wasn't really doing hammer-ons like Roth was. In Trance was a huge influence on EVH, and its said that after the '76 gig where VH opened up for UFO, they started doing more originals. look, not saying EVH isn't awesome, just saying Schenk and Roth were just as heavy and far cleaner, and that they came first and were a direct influence on young Ed.

  • @motleycrue24 : even the little bit at the beginning of sinner's swing after the main riff where he's just kind of riffing,, the 'chuk-chuk' sound if you will, sounds a lot like what Schenker was doing with UFO in 1975, on "Mother Mary," off the Force it album. I will say that EVH is more flamboyant than either Schenk or Roth. but better? personally, i think Schenker is better than Jimmy Page in a technical sense. Stylistically is a more subjective criteria, i like them all, actually.

  • @TheEarnold george lynch is another bad mofo on the guitar

  • @motleycrue24 ; ok sure, there are a lot of bad mofo guitarists out there. EVH is better than Matthias Jabs,another 'flashy' guitarist, but in general the Germans are very technical players, all those classic scales. they are very consistent with their tone. i probably heard EVH before Schenker and Roth, and there's no disputing his musical talent...Eruption, the Hot for Teacher intro, the riff on "Little Dreamer"... 1st 4 VH albums are magical.

  • Eddie and Dave were on point and at the top of world on this album.

  • Van Halen is great! The music sounds better every time I hear it! I have been a fan for over 20 years!

    Carmen Gammon

  • and now were wasting ti ime!

  • @Slipknot1228 @VanHalen765 @Kizales ^5 :)

    Glad to see some ppl in the new generation appreciating Real music and the kinda chit that started it all. Cheers 2 U all! Keep on Rockin Mates! >peace

  • no band nowadays could do a beat like in the intro of this song and have it be as smooth. that's why Van Halen is king.

  • Scream,Dave!!!

  • Do u really want to see the dark side

  • this is the greaTEST album ever!

  • @uiwqe ugh, I think this album sucks dick. I fucking LOVE van halen too. unchained is the only worthwhile song on this album.

  • @JgHaverty really??i thnk just the opposite,i think this is there best album

  • 1:34 Mr. Ed loses his shit!!!!!!!!

  • I'm very glad there ARE teens who know the truth.

  • im 16 and i love the 60s and 70s era, but Van Halen was my favorite band before Led Zeppelin so im with you guys

  • This entire album should be covered live from start to finish!

  • why is alex always omitted!? give that man a hand as well!!!!!

  • for the naughty girl in all u ladies

  • i was thinking the other day,,i say,,."wow..i'm in my early 40's now i'm gettin old"..but then i thought,,if i was in my 20's,,i wouldve never exsperienced such greatness as van halen..if you were born in the wrong generation,click here,,lol

  • @uiwqe Right there with you, dude. 43 in a month. Glad to be 43 and got to see VH twice with DLR.

  • @hbfdwaterfowler your a blessed man..lol..i'm proud that ive exsperienced some of the best!

  • eddie is jimmy

  • Sammy Hagar = COMPLETE TOOL

    David Lee Roth = ULTIMATE FRONTMAN

  • I love how it sounds like Dave is laughin' the last time he says"same ole pick up lies"...

  • Sammy hager is a joke.

  • Eddie one badass guitarist!!!! \m/

  • VanHalen765 man bless you, you rocker. You are 14 (maybe 15 now) and you upload all of Van Halen. Son you have a great career ahead of you!!!! I'm 43 and we r proud of your tastes....

  • Sammi gayger has nothing on roth.. best van halen was with roth

  • my brothers stepson is Edsel Dope from the band DOPE and i used to try to get him into VanHalen but he could never get into VH for some reason. he liked Motley Crue mostly. heck i like em both but VH RULES over The Crue anyday as far as im concerned.

  • @Gatorfan30253 Yeah they do, Motley Crue.... I always saw as a Van Halen knock-ff with more of a glam metal vibe. I do like them but I mean come on its Van Halen were talkin bout here! They rule!

  • @bbutters2 -- Hey I like the Crue as much as anyone......but dont compare them to the mighty VH.......Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx arent even worthy to suck on Dave and Eddie's nutsacks

  • @Hunkola (if they still have em')

  • @Gatorfan30253 you have a good ear for music then

  • Excellent song, and Eddie OMG he has added so much to the history of rock. He's my second favorite rock player after Jimmy Page. And that's with about Forty years of rock behind me!

  • one of few van halen songs with a curse word ("she looks so fucking good..."). everybody wants some!! is another (you can barely hear it but in the end dave says "look i'll pay you for it, what the fuck")!

  • To all tehse people who moan that EVH only taps across one/two strings sould check this out - tapping all over the neck, across the eck and with all those funky tap slides that others cats didn;t pick up on until the late 80s............and led the clowns to wonder why EVH never did that!
