  • david lee roth ,finally back with van halen.eddie finally woke up and got back the legendary frontman that makes van halen great.

  • Vai plays fantastic!

  • ANTHEM! dude .-)

  • 0:20 to 0:28 *_* i love that!

  • Did he really climb that rock?

  • OMG... 1:14

  • eaah i am livin in paradise yeaaah sunshine every day hot chicks and boose and great food.love this song

  • @victorthegroover..... That wasn't the issue. I just cleared up who was playing bass in the video. Yeah I'm full aware Billy recorded the album. I was just explaining that the guy miming in the video is in fact a excellent bass player in his own right. In which you also did. Clear that issue up.... :-) \m/

  • take that hagarr

  • But for some reason David's Skyscraper didn't sell as well as the earlier Eat 'Em and Smile lp, which seemed very odd to me. I think David's Skyscraper was more music most could relate to than the earlier lp.

  • 14 people want to go home!!! Fail for them!!! I must have went through 10 copies on this cassette back in the day...good times baby!!!

  • HD my arse

  • Only 578, 367 views?!?!?!?! IMO this is one of the greatest songs in history!

  • This totally blows away vh bs

  • 14 people don't want to live in paradise

  • van halen should preform this live in 2012 tour

  • Please try to remember this ---- David Lee screwed the hottest pussy in the 80's

  • Man I wish Dave could sing like this now. Tattoo would've sounded soooooo much better.

  • Having sex with Dave in those days would have been like been hit by a semi trailer being propelled by an out of control freight train. Women around the world are probably still trying to get their heads around it.

  • @PeterHBne1 there was a porn star called Avy Lee Roth who claimed to be his daughter. She was pretty hot.

  • I love the bit where Dave is twirling the mic stand like it's a piece of straw. Those things are heavy! This was when he was at his height of martial arts powers. Check out those round-houses. God love him.......

  • that heart guitar comes in 2 bits....saw the roadie bringing it round back of the stage for vai when we saw them at wembly arena in 88

  • Vai is so hawt!

    

  • happy! Happy! Happy! life is too short.

  • Steve Vai is so damn talented!

  • @BATTIS94 I saw him live one night in Brisbane, Australia in this stinking hot club back in '97. Man, he can play guitar..............

  • @PeterHBne1 Awesome! i never saw him live, but i have some of his solo records, he's amazing!

  • Check out my channel for a remix i did. ...If you want. I'm not out looking for views but if you're a fan of dance and who isn't a fan of David Lee Roth? yeah, Love this song so much.

  • I can't get enough of DLR fronted Van Halen and Roth solo with Vai. The music rocks!

  • i can see this being a Van Halen Song

  • But for the record. The bass player in this video is a great bass player

  • @ullathorne1 who is he? He looks like he is playing air guitar or something,,did he play with any other bands?

  • @babylove9306 Check on Joe satrianis "THE EXTREMIST" ull see that bass player rocking, i mean, he is SOLID :)

  • @babylove9306 That's what I told the guy a few days ago...... Clueless :-)

  • jesus christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, and only through him will you see paradise. Hear the good news and accept it//

  • @itistime777 Is that a fact to a muslim and to a buddhist to?

  • @itistime777 That is true .Revelation 21.22 KJV

  • VAN AHLEN

    

  • VAI Should have sticked his guitar and playing to this kind of music...his solo projects aint like paradise!

  • I just love Dave sailing off on some naff flying surf board with a pretty lame fart smoke coming out of it. And Dave is like "Yep, this'll get me through until the next gig. I Just have to make it look interesting and the punters will love it." And we did!!!!!!!

  • Fucked that up - Steve Vai can play guitar. He is amazing.

  • @PeterHBne1 Jazz party Discharge Hats is a prime example of Steve Vai's excellence :-)

  • As an 80's bloke, I'd put this on my top 5 songs/videos. Dave is awesome. At the peak of of his extensive martial arts training (you try that round house or doing those moves with a bloody heavy microphone stand). He just stalks the stage. I do love the "make this romance last and last....thats it thats it" bit. And then little Stevey Vai........I've seen him live. He

  • c-o-c-a-i-n-e

  • Now that's music! Brats today have no idea;

  • @victorthegroover That's not Billy Sheehan ;-) It's the drummers brother Matt Bissonette...... \m/

  • @ullathorne1 hey! billy recorded the album!!!

  • I L O V E T H I S  S O N G !!!!

  • I remember driving meat with my dad listening to this tape, he's just a month older

  • AWSOME

  • 1:33 <3

  • that bass player is a total fake!

  • @babylove9306 HAHAHA!! WHO? BILLY SHEHAN? THE MOSTER OF ALL ROCK BASS PLAYERS? SHUT UP KID! XD

  • @victorthegroover Hahah he has no idea it's obviusly that he was born un the 21st century!

  • @victorthegroover Hey idiot,,Billy is not in this video!!!

  • @babylove9306 i thought u talked about the album, cause Billy recorded it... one way or another matt bisonette is VERY GOOD. Why do u think Satriani picked him up to play with him?

  • @victorthegroover cool I didn't know who he was

  • I feel kinda bad for David. He isn't meant to grow older.. :/ If only one person could stay young forever, David would have grabbed that opportunity. He is youth, love, warmth, energy, happiness and music personalized. No one can live their lives as good ol' Diamond Dave. Love from Sweden!

  • Bring back the 80s! I hate the rubbish now, it's just a noise?!?!?

    Thumbs up.

  • ja nyt tulee kunnianosoitus David Lee Rothille ihan miulta ilman kuorosotaa =)

  • never get tired of this song

  • steve vai

    i dont think i have seen anyone play better than him

  • @djjjkjjjdjcj heard bout eddie? if not check him out 

  • @djjjkjjjdjcj I saw him in play in Brisbane (quite) a few years ago. The room was about a million degrees (aircon broke down) and most of that was from his playing. He is amazing.

  • he looks quite similar to Eddie Van Halen, are they both brothers to each other?

  • Was that really him on that mountain?

  • @leemblake

    yes it was him on the mountain.

    i saw him do an interveiw and he was asked that question and he told them that once a year they liked to a action vid and that was that years vid

  • lol answerd my own question, haha god is the rock

  • what the f**k happend to america were is rock?? god i guess without morals there is no rock

  • Van Halen is not Van Halen without David Lee Roth!! \m/

  • Man, this is my second favourite song of all time. <3

  • Diamond Dave+Steve Vai=  I'M HIGH 

  • .......AND I DON'T WANNA GO HOME !!!

  • 12 people wont ever live in paradise

  • Great Vai solo!

  • great song and video,great memories

  • David lee roth looks like he belongs in the WWF

  • Roth is great, Vai is just a cheap wannabee imitation of eddie vh, and this bass player isnt in mike anthonys league

  • @ghostzapper2006 You should see Vai when he is not playing second-fiddle to Dave and isn't being told what to do by a director. See him live. Believe me, he can play a guitar and command a stage....

  • GOOD GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ft another legend Steve Vai showing off with his x3 guitar custom built. Another classic.

  • 12 people want to go home

  • ONE NIGHT AINT ENOUGH FOR ME......

    GIRL, HANG ON TIGHT......

    AND DONT LET GOOO-HOOOOO !!!!

  • 12 people dislike this? Tools!

  • I think he said "She got a stereo" of hes dad

  • @xXMaybeImKirkXx "She's got the stereo, with the big guitars, and now it's all right......"

  • Everytime when I used to see this video on MTV I used to pretend I was David Lee Roth. 88....I would have been 5...???...Holy Shit i'm getting old??!!

  • @360MeLLo you are as old as you think you are, just have fun, do your shift and make the most out of it

    I am still listening to this kind of music too and I am not that old

  • Nobody does David Lee like David Lee. Great video.

  • What a bunch of maggots . . .

  • David Lee Roth / Van Halen... enough said.

    What a great team they were.

  • Cool mate. I loose track. Stay safe.

  • It wasn't his third solo album, it was his second. He released an EP while still with Van Halen with California Girls, Just a Gigolo and two other songs on it that I can't remember

  • Try doing that with a mic stand. You'd and i would barely be able to pick it up. Dave rocks.

  • Shit -- was the eighties really nearly 30 years ago?? I'm freaking out. A great era for music.

  • Can I please go back to 1988!  Life was so simple...

  • QUE COISA RIDICULA KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK GAY GAY GAY KKKKKK

  • i played the skyscraper cd until the laser almost burned a hole in it.

    This was david lee roth at its best. now he's 2 years away from his 60 birthday.

    This fact frightens me, because this means that i'm getting old to, and i hate it, because thsi decade wil be a sad one, when it comes to music, because it's the decade in witch alot of great artist wil retire for good! Think of the stones, red hot chili peppers, aerosmith, and not to mention the ones who already retired. Well, life's a bitch!

  • @3DPeter God you are so right. It frightens me to think of these mega stars as old.. And worse there's no back-up. Nothing coming. There is just no-one. Can you imagine Madonna dead rather than doing sex books?? Fuck - getting old, huh?

  • @PeterHBne1

    I'm not god, i'm just another peter. (lol)

  • Man I fuckin miss DLR

  • this song is fitting for british columbia...i live in a beautiful province!

  • Grunge was about being depressed ---- Diamond Dave was about swagger and fun

  • THIS KIND OF ROCK , MAKE ME HAPPY!!!!!!!!

  • These were the times who knew just a few years later grunge would come and ruin this kind of music and pretty much DLR's music career. Grunge ruined the new generation, Im glad I managed to live these times. Rock on 80s I miss you!!

  • david lee roth: the only guy i know who rock climbs in spandex

  • @slendyiswatching Apparently he had a couple of pros dragging him all over the mountain as he was shit-scared.

  • @ItchyMrBoy Bullshit. Dave was the real deal. A total adrenalyine junkie. Heavily martial arts trained. If you cant work that out from what you see of him, get a new brain.

  • @PeterHBne1

    I must say that DLR looks like someone who didn't see a gym for a very long time. Therefore i''ll bet anyone that steven tyler would outrun him anytime, and tyler is way older than DLR, and looks better, because steven tyler looks like 40, and to be honest, i can't say that from la Roth.

  • @3DPeter Didn't see the gym for a long time?? The guys doing fucking flying kicks on stage landing on the splits

  • @KonigNick

    you mean 20 years ago.

  • @KonigNick true and doing lutz flips, DLR does some martial arts you can tell easily by how he moves on stage.

  • @3DPeter Are you fucking serious? You should do your homework before posting retarded shit.

  • @olio8773

    it's like hallis1 said, what a team they WERE.

  • @3DPeter FAG

  • @PeterHBne1 Just writing what I had read elsewhere - I'm a DLR fan from way back so no need to get nasty.

  • The Flambouyant Diamond Dave. None better!

    This song always gave me chills from the time I was 20 to now. 22 years later...

  • DAVE ALL DAY ! Dave ALL NIGHT  HE IS VAN HALEN

  • i used to always listen to this song in my dad's car when i was like 6, i'm 15 now and i still love it :')

  • @loz4bwfc ---- That's because the power of Diamond Dave is rumbling inside all of us

  • David Le Roth. Steve Vaï. Greg Bissonette ?

  • Back in the day, I'd be in a pub, and this song would come on, and I'd be transfixed in front of the TV. And I've seen Stevie Vai live. WOW!

  • The 3-headed guitar is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen.

  • no big deal for me.... a couple of american assholes... I liked this song more when I didn.t see this clip....żenuaa!

  • my nephew RYAN know how to play the key notes to the song jump on his key board

  • Comment removed

  • @stphndelvacchio46 By the looks of the way you type, it seems like you were born in 2003.

  • who was better solo diamond or sammy?

  • @ableturner Definitely Sammy. Dave's solo career is pretty forgettable.

  • @ableturner Sammy was a #1 solo artist for years before he joined Van Halen. Sammy would win this contest. I love Van Halen w/Dave, but I'm glad Sammy took over in the mid-80's. After Sammy joined, the music would take a different direction with every album. It kept it interesting, fun, and the songwriting was a lot better. Balance is definitely one of my favorites. Musically, it's one of their best. If Dave would have stayed in the band, Van Halen would have never made it out of the 80's.

  • @metalmilitia1977 bro what are you banging on about..dave had more charismatic personality than sammy ...dave was a far better vocalist and front man...and each of the van halen albums up to 1984 were innovation at its best...hagar should of stuck to being a solo artist or stayed in montrose not joining one of the best rock bands in the history of music and turning them ordinary...have you listened to diver down...then the progression to 1984...is there not a different direction on each album.?

  • @jimbojunior1000 Diver Down was mostly Eddie's writing. And the question on this video page is who is a better solo artist. My OPINION of Dave vs Sammy in Van Halen is just that, my opinion. I like them with Dave, I like them with Sam. But Dave is, always has been, a jackass. And he can't sing better then Sammy. If you have a sense of tone, Sammys vocal range far exceeds Dave's. Just being honest. Anyways, thanks for your comment . I'm moving on to a different topic.

  • Daven paras biisi!

    Jan ja Tikku jos ootte hollilla, niin pistäkää nupit ainakin kaakkoislänteen.

    T: I.N.

  • This song is perfect for sex

  • STEVE VAI WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUND

  • Awesome song.

    William Shatner must love this. See Star Trek V and you'll see what I mean.

  • Timeless. Good songs are.

  • Steve Via showed his video self in these shots but.... 'fraid to say.... once again... Mr. Dave stole the show... as usual.. as only he can do by being himself

  • Absolutely Ace!! Thanks for posting. ))

  • Who is the guitarist on this song? Vai?

  • @Winterfogel Yes

  • woooo is perfect this conbination !!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • todays bands are really like crap when you see the good old ones

  • i love it at 3:55 you dont see many bands doing that now. wish music was as good as it was back then.

  • Good!!

    

  • gosh lookin at video I see how big disaster was hair metal/ rock, and why metallica at those days were more then gods

  • van helen should do this song live,why not,id rather hear eddie try it than steve vai.

  • david is the best showman ever i think... he has this super hyper energy when performing just like gokou in super saiyan mode!

  • my dog fuckin likes Kibbles 'n Bits

  • they dont make movies like they used to and they damn sure dont make music like they used

  • I love vanhalen

  • Gotta love these sick 80s videos where the guitar player has a different guitar in each shot

  • yeah for simbad pants, i'd forgotten bout' those!! woot

  • fuckin legend man x x

  • Pure paradise with diamond dave at the helm!

  • *sigh* I hate that i was born so late and missed this awesomeness :/ LOVE this song! <3

  • @EmilyyRebeccaaaa Hey, EMILY!. Don't hate you weren't born so late, but, you are right, some of the best music came from the 80's, this song og course being one of them.

  • I love the smoke sputtering out of the back of the flying surfboard Dave enthusiastically rides at great danger at the end. I can see the meeting with the album company. 'Yep, I wanna finish the clip riding a motor-powered surfboard way up high. Why?? Just because I can, it'll look guide and most importantly, I'll get a real kick out of it. Make it so.'

  • And really refreshing to go back (god I sound old) to a period where it was not necessary in every clip to cover up the total lack of musical talent with basically almost hard core porn to hold your attention (and I love porn - just not as a cheap cover for poor quality work.)

  • God when this came on the video screens in the bars I frequented in the 80's I was transfixed. I'd leave the party and groove alone. Great direction and camera movement, great big hair music and Dave is easily one of the best front men of all time. And by God he loves his adrenaline!!!!!!!

  • I thought this was V.H for the longest time. Great song.

  • @TheMetalManiac1981 Just the better half of Van Halen!

  • @1984rockcity Halen not Hagar ;)

  • @1984rockcity not really, michael anthony didnt play bass on this

  • fuk yea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @saw426 oh you think you're tuff huh? step up to my face and say that see what happens

  • @binka21

    Ok fucker but 1st , lick me where i shit.

  • @saw426 meet me in the McDonald's bathroom on West and 3rd. I'll be in the second stall kickn it wit my homeboyz smokin bluntz and playing poker. just ask for Lil nutz that's me step up one inch from my face and say that see what happens

  • OK...After Van Halen, Dave's band was at 100% talent overload! Seriously... guitarist Steve Vai, bassist Billy Sheehan, and drummer Gregg Bissonette were/are without question, flawlessly talented.

    I got to see their kick-off show in Virginia in August '86...front row, and later got to hang with the band back stage. It was one of THE most rockin' concerts I have ever witnessed.

  • i had to dance to this very fast movements

  • 9 people just plain suck

  • FUCK YEAH! DOCTOR ROCKZO!!!

  • is this after he left van halen and if so why did he leave van halen

  • @Htby4023 yes it is and they fired him

  • Comment removed

  • Dave and Vai, yes, but don't forget Sheehan

  • tooooo gud daveeeeeeeeee

  • 1:23 That is how every straight man should dance, every single day

  • @20colinmackin YES. I fully support legislation to put this into effect. Where do I sign?
