[Whisperjet727]

Captivating...

[BookerDayton]

this used to scare me when i was like 6... o_O...

[Chlysm]

Double Plus Good!

[bubbleheadft]

@Chlysm YES!

[Necrophiliac22]

You will go back to 1984

[sandraproducoes]

The little angel looks like Eddie! Not only because of cigarettes...

[sonic10shadow]

[aguusacdc]

Omg, this is beautiful :')

[theredapple94]

I have the strangest feeling that Big Brother is watching me.

[compelx]

You stand upon a hill, overlooking the millions of lights that fill the industrialized scape of your planet.

[xpez]

haha you sucker kids that were born in 1980s... you missed so much rock and roll...

[LedWhisky69]

@xpez Last time I checked, it's all still here.

[xBaphometHx]

Thumbs up if you were born in 1984 and sometimes you wish to go back in time for just one moment! (like me!)

[metalmasterazo]

Thumbs up if you're listening this in 1984...

[arubaforever]

Year I was born. This song has a magical quality to it. I love those chords. 1984 forever!

[chapolin50]

A M A Z I N G way to start an album!

[martyn580]

OMG, i just realized, the cover of this album is basically an advertisement for cigarettes

[5150zac]

i guy is fuck tard



[MitjaShi]

This piece symbolizes the awesomeness of the eighties, and what makes it awesome that even though vh made it in that time period they could anticipate that after decades people would strive to go back to that time.

[retrosound72]

Oberheim OB-Xa :)

[rollthetape88]

is this 'the key-tar solo from 1984" that is supposed to be the only thing better than star wars? is there a good key tar solo from this album, if this is it I expected it to be better than this.

[motleycrue24]

this album changed my life as a kid it motivated me to become a musician ed inspired me to pick up the piano and guitar because this album

[SahlStrickland]

Still upset guy's that synthesizers are in rock? Hey the group Boston released an all acoustic album, go listen to it. And hey if you travel deep enough up into the hills you can still find some hillbilies that dont yet use synthesizers either.

[Bagelboy615]

I have one black friend, and I don't want more!

[anti1999]

the only thing better then starwars is a keytar solo from 1984

[bcancun123]

@anti1999 For real! 

[IwannaAHippy]

i have this cd nice :)

[hardon70]

Back in 1984, a lot of the people I knew were saying that the future of rock music was going to be by synthesizers. I guess time proved them wrong.

[robfergusonjr]

@hardon70 No, wot they were saying that music will be digital/electrical, they were right.

[hardon70]

@robfergusonjr How would you know. I mean vocals are vocals, no electronic device can replace the voice of a talented artist. You need to find better arguments my friend.

[robfergusonjr]

@hardon70 You missed my point entirely ... the issue is not vocals, the issue is equipment replacing the gutiars and drums with computers.

[hardon70]

@robfergusonjr What I meant was that the people were saying that vocal rock music along with guitars and drums would go away and be replaced strictly by synthesizers, creating songs like 1984.

The rest of the 80`s still gave us plenty of good RnR without all this synthesizer crap.

[oralsurgery84]

this song was actually 45 minutes long.....but they used the right part ....i was gonna use this as my walk in song for my wedding ....i changed my mind at the last second.....i should of used it damn it

[Whisperjet727]

This song is just incredible. Nothing else like it. :)

[vanadamlondon]

did u know Van Halen asked jean michel jarre for advice for the use of synths and this track is a kind of gratefulness?

[kostasxrysogelos]

@vanadamlondon Well, that's what I call trivia!! Thanks for the info. I'm a huge fan of JMJ and Van Halen of course!

[210acer]

this is so cool

[grandmasterflash4263]

Makes you want to JUMP..Go ahead and JUMP!!!

[raiiderhead]

You think if I listen to this over and over again I will go back to 1984?

[robfergusonjr]

@raiiderhead Yes, it worked for me. ;)

[raiiderhead]

@robfergusonjr Hell man I'm going to keep trying them. 2011 is not that cool so far.

[luchianolovesyou]

@robfergusonjr YOUTUBE WAS INVENTED IN THE MID 2000's you liar

[robfergusonjr]

@luchianolovesyou hey retard, the song was released in 1984 and recorded in 1983. You're not trying hard enough to get back to '84 ... you dumb ass.

[iucoltsfan]

@luchianolovesyou

2005

[91nickt]

@robfergusonjr dude, why'd you come back to 2011? XD

[Ultimator500]

@91nickt hes just 27 years into the future

[atomicfile2]

@raiiderhead i wish buddy i wish



[Rorschachxx1985]

@raiiderhead dont u see marty if u wanna listen to good music u've got to get the dolorrean and go back, back to 1984!

[hittingnote75]

@raiiderhead It might make you mind go back there. Happens to me all of the time.

[foxwilliammulderx]

@raiiderhead try a horible super-bright colored outfit, a shitty hairdoo and a hit of acid.

[raiiderhead]

@foxwilliammulderx I'll do without the super bright outfit. The hair style was one of many things that made the 80'S great. You must mean the shitty hair style that most have now a day. When the hell did the 50's creep back into style with the damn sideburns? IAs for acid, been there, done that and would rather leave that in it's owm freaky world.

[foxwilliammulderx]

@raiiderhead I noticed that 1985-86 seems to be kinda creeping back into style too, but every city is different. Maybe it's just around here.

[raiiderhead]

@foxwilliammulderx It was making a comeback here as well for awhile. Had a few 80'S radio stations. Then they changed, 1 is country and the outher is some new dance thing. But the groups from the 80's are coming out with new stuff left and right. New Journey, The Cars, there first new Cd since 1987. And Van Halen should have a new cd out later this year with David Lee Roth.

[AutisticPersona]

@raiiderhead I WAS BORN IN 1984...I'd be a baby if that'd happened.

[AutisticPersona]

@AutisticPersona Hell, I wouldn't be born when this was released.

[paulmccartneyishot]

hearing this song just makes me so happy, and i dont know why...

[clevelandsteamer1000]

@paulmccartneyishot It makes you happy because it has what todays music lacks...talent!

[LuisC1010]

this is just like the cd

[ToadInTheHole671]

I realize I'm probably stating the obvious here, but this song certainly evokes the feeliing of Orwell's novel. N'est ce pas? (Ain't it the truth?) :>D
