[gnkordie22]

[rhpromo]

12 people with 39 guitars can't do it!! Only one guy could!!

[t4v1nh0]

12 people can`t play the guitar solo

[t4v1nh0]

This Album changed the history of the Music and my life

[classicalguitartv]

[sweetemotion1818]

Seeing Van Halen tonight, absolutely cannot wait.

[cwphunky68]

[VioletDeliriums]

2:50 "Bop bah dah, shoo-bee doo-wah."

[MikelJaysinger]

Das war magisch damals..



[dean3215]

saw them in 1981 boston garden best concert i ever saw out of about 50..

[ROCKOUTTV4]

The greatest Hard Rock album Ever, Hands Down.

No one can disputed it, and it still competes Today.

The Mighty Van Halen.

[13thsc]

Hey kids- I remember seeing Van Halen in 1984 in Houston. I had 4th row seats and caught a guitar pick from Micheal Anthony. It was the best concert by far I ever saw. The whole place shook, I thought the roof would comedown. I was exhausted and spent after. I have seen hundreds of concerts- Van Halen ROCKS!!!! they were #1- Long Live Eddie, Alex, Mike and DLR!

[adonysdrift07]

raw and primitive energy !!!!!!!!!! babe show me your looooooooooooooove

[41jarse]

This RAWKS!

[ZLY1113]

Gotta' say. The new album sounds GREAT. very similar vocal style, but a little darker rock. check it out!

[introvertical71]

Ahhhh, the energy of youth.

[antiquecarlover]

elvispresley718 you got it. You don't know what the fuck your talking about. Rush isn't boring and Neal Peart doesn't overplay anything you fucked up moron.

[elvispresley718]

oh great master of the guitar how could anyone say hendrix was better than eddie? ridiculous

[jparadabuc]

Wow. Hot for Teacher is practically a rewrite of this.

[hummarstra]

@jparadabuc what what what??! Learn to play it. It's not even close to HFT.

[elvispresley718]

@jparadabuc yer in need of two new ears

[Shazeen82]

The bass awesome too in this track. Chill!

[derrickproject]

check out the isolated guitar track. AWESOME!!!

[ffsf739]

This is so unusually experimental! To consider Van Halen a common hard rock/heavy metal band is a mistake: their sound (at least during the DLR period) is above labels. Really creative stuff!

[bbutters2]

@ffsf739 Totally agree, I especially dislike when ignorant people call them pop. Hate that, they are a little of everything and as you said above a genre label!

[1idlehour]

love this song thanks

[sharkclub1]

9 dislikes,what planet are they from?

[rrhynes]

@sharkclub1 Bieberland.

[GuitarPro7908]

@sharkclub1 mars

[elvispresley718]

@sharkclub1 brooklyn or manhattan or queens or the bronx!!!

[balderdashsir]

@sharkclub1 PLANET ASSHOLE. This song is fucking incredible!

[ninjamojo711]

@sharkclub1 dislikes?......Sammy and his 10 cousins.

[turnofcentury77]

@sharkclub1 There are those with no clue to what Van Halen brought to the table. They rewrote the rules to guitar rock at that time:)

[Codude180219]

@sharkclub1 Sammy Hagar?

[Despotes518]

Lovvve that feel 1:38-1:45.. so cool.

[flinx649]

Michael Anthony's backing vocals are ace!

[MetallicOpeth]

just watched airheads, fuck yea

[hummarstra]

There must be a few digits missing from the view count cuz no one can ever hear this shit enough.

[amy0077]

Ii

[wiisalute]

one of the most hardest songs in guitar hero van halen along with hot for teacher.

[LocoRico89]

3:33 Hear him rawr!

[JgHaverty]

Under rated guitaring on this song lol. Wild and crazy, just like eddie! :p

[TheCoachAiree]

at 2:50 it gets "wow"

[brigadierspigotshaft]

Man this song rocks! Eddie's playing is just amazing!

[VanderOsbourne]

Yeah!

[MrCleanPolo]

Their best album.

[ThrashMetalBrothers]

Like this if this song made you play air guitar!

[johnes96]

buddy rich was fast, but the best drummer ever was John fuckin' Bonham!

[antiquecarlover]

johnes96 How Do You Figure Me To Be Nice?

[rayrokz]

@johnes96 AMEN!

[antiquecarlover]

NoEvilBears WHO CARES WHO HE IS. HE WILL NEVER EVER BE AS GOOD AS NEIL PEART YOU DUMBASS. SO SHUT YOUR STUPID MOUTH AS I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHO BUDDY RICH IS MORON.

[uwique]

@antiquecarlover peart is good,,but he will never be a carl palmer.

[elvispresley718]

@antiquecarlover the difference between zep and rush is rush gets BORING after awhile geddy's voice grate s on nerves and neil Peart OVERPLAYS almost everything he does got it?

[antiquecarlover]

johnes96 Are you some kind of moron? Neil Peart of Rush is the best drummer in all of the music industry. If you believe otherwise your dumber than you look.

[NoEvilBears]

@antiquecarlover Do you even know who Buddy Rich was?

[johnes96]

@NoEvilBears buddy rich was the fastest drummer in history :)

[johnes96]

@antiquecarlover oh you're very nice, i kinda like you :)

[elvispresley718]

if roling stone doesn't think eddie's the greatest guitar player they can go fuck themselves

[fixedgearsacramento]

Zazz Blammymataz is better then these guys, and they are a parody band, haha if u like van halen you will like them

[niiiggeeer3000]

@fixedgearsacramento are u saying that van halen is a parody band? lmao

[antiquecarlover]

Neil Peart Is Alot Better Drummer Than Alex Van Halen. And Neil Peart Is Better Than Every Drummer In The Music Industry. He Is Indeed A Legend And No One Can Out Do Neil Peart Ever!!!!!!

[johnes96]

@antiquecarlover Buddy Rich?

[NoEvilBears]

@johnes96 How about Carl Palmer??

[StepsToNowhere]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH YEEAAEEAA!

[uwique]

and this is their debute album..lol

[bgandjsco1]

With the second guitar solo in this song Modern shred guitar was born.

[pcstevens69]

such a jammmm

[manosun3]

that's the one!

[niiiggeeer3000]

vocals are fucking impossible

drum is fucking impossible

bass, maybe

guitar is fucking impossible

best song ever :D

[SlipperyTounge]

@niiiggeeer3000 Vocals arent impossible

[niiiggeeer3000]

@SlipperyTounge plz send a video where u sing this song

[SlipperyTounge]

@niiiggeeer3000 No u queer.

[niiiggeeer3000]

@SlipperyTounge seriously y are u talking to me :D

[sirchrissypoo]

So smooth. Thank you, Yacht Rock, for reminding me this song exists.

[TheMerciless13]

I just love the drumming of Eddie van Halen! Alex has a nice voice too! Love David Lee Ross on the guitar!

[redshirtcasualty]

@TheMerciless13  Yeah, Mr. Ross is awsome!! David Lee Halen is ok too.

[futarydary]

KURWA JAK MOŻNA TAK ZAJEBISCIE GRAĆ?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ! THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN !

[millie8100]

Eddie , your the one !

[upyanuts]

This song kills!!!

[darenbme]

how could ya not love this song ? who are the 8 dumb ass dislikes ?

[118Huntervasser]

The opening riff is sooooo HUNGRY!!!

[100kallibur]

i mean seriously, is it so hard to make good music even resembling this these days?

[rrhynes]

@100kallibur Yes. Hardly anybody plays blues based rock any longer. The late 60's through early 80s were the era of that type of playing.

[elvispresley718]

@rrhynes have you heard any r and b lately they are ripping off the classical writers like dogs on flesh!

[rrhynes]

@elvispresley718 No. I had no idea that was happening. It doesn't surprise me. Even the earlier hip hop/rap assholes did that.

[TheLar1969]

GNR's Appetite is a better debut? Unbelievable. Not even comparable.

[MachineHeadDissent]

THE BEST VAN HALEN SONGS EVER..............

[mugreador1]

la wea wenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa por la chuchaaaaa ! :D

[lightnessss]

I laugh when I see Alex on the photo, he is absolutely unrecognizable

[klblackstar]

Best Van Halen song.

[TheHossy202]

@klblackstar I don't know, Jump is probably better.......HAHAHAHA just kidding GO VAN HALEN I !!!!!

[uwique]

MY GOD!!IF THIS ISNT THE GREATEST BAND EVER!!..I DONT KNOW WHat is!!

[MrMusecovers]

my fav VH Song so underated!

[Beeflord81]

Alex Van Halen is the most underrated drummer ever :(

[Nutzerweb]

@Beeflord81

Who does underate 'im ? Not me

[johnes96]

@Beeflord81 he's a fucking god!! of hard rock drumming

[elvispresley718]

@Beeflord81 i have to say that i kind of agree but ringo starr got the short end of the stick

[DimensionsofChange]

I'm a keyboardist and this is my favorite Van Halen song, not Jump.

[serginietor]

@DimensionsofChange no wonder, this song is awesome, lol

[DimensionsofChange]

@serginietor Indeed

[silvano751]

@DimensionsofChange probably because jump is one of their worst songs, at least in my opinion. They have a lot better. This is from someone who plays guitar and keys

[DimensionsofChange]

@silvano751 So I them you don't count any of the Van Hagar songs as Vanhalen songs?

[silvano751]

@DimensionsofChange of course i do. I just love this song

[DimensionsofChange]

@silvano751 But then you think Jump is worse that all the Van Hagar songs?

[elvispresley718]

@silvano751 jum p is not a bad the solo he takes in the middle is pretty innovative but that would sound redundant

[mashui99]

@DimensionsofChange I'm a guitarist and this is my favorite Van Halen song, and i can't play it worth shit lol

[syvers147]

@mashui99 I am with you Mashui, favourite song although it is because of the guitar playing. Makes me want to buy a guitar again and try to learn the riffs from this again. Couldnt play them years ago and no doubt wont be able to again, i think its a mid life crisis i am going through!!!

[mashui99]

@syvers147 I'll learn it (eventually lol) cause i know i'm gonna be a musician and my band is definitely covering this song.

[axlslash808z]

@mashui99 Me to man, good luck out there.

[syvers147]

@mashui99 I wish you the best in your musician career, your probably a few years younger than me, gonna be 40 this year so watching these vids is a bit nostalgic. Havent touched my guitar till today for 15 years, the strings broke whilst loosening them! Anyway, good luck to you.

[mashui99]

@syvers147 Yeah i'm only 17, but i have tons of hope. You should see our drummer, he's amazing he can already play stuff like Painkiller by Judas Priest. Not to mention we have tons of ideas

[NO599]

@mashui99 Exactly the same for me.

[NO599]

@mashui99 Exactly the same for me.

[MsNerdinator]

crazy :D

[rampozzz]

This song made my day.

[ozzy1jack]

OMG!

[redsoxhater63]

best album by halen

[LDZPLEN]

the intro is a rip off from ace frehely i suppose.

[dokken447]

@LDZPLEN ya and like zep didnt rip off from anybody lol...well give us a song title from ace to back your statement

[rrhynes]

@LDZPLEN I've listened to all of FRehley's shit and there isn't a note that I recognize. What song ar you talking about?

[LDZPLEN]

@rrhynes KISS-Shock Me (live 1977) the solo at the end. 1 year before this song came out.

[rrhynes]

@LDZPLEN Not hardly. I know that song well. Other than the fact it's a scale, there is no resemblance.

[rrhynes]

@LDZPLEN Check the records. Alive II came out in the same month VH was recording this album. BEsides, there are recording on Youtube that predate either album and you can here that the intro didn't change. It is somewhat similar ,but played totally differently. Frehley couldn't polish this guy's shoes.

[babymagggiee]

FUCK YES.

[DeathThrasher69]

Back in the day someone told me the last yell on here is Gene Simmons if you listen,it does sound like him.

[raremountainbear]

Too bad drugs and booze killed his creativity over the years. EVH was absolutely brilliant in the beginning, evidenced by not only this song but the whole album.

[rrhynes]

@raremountainbear Age kills creativity more than booze. Most people just run out of ideas. I'd say the booze did more to fuck up his relationships than it did his creativity. He was an alcoholic when this album was done.

[guitartec]

This is the best song they ever did.

[GottaLoveEddie]

....now there's an ...Adrenaline Rush!!

[TheTourage]

Fuck slash, he failed miserably without izzie and after gnr. He has no cred in my book. Loss control is more a badass guitar song by the way

[leonithis]

eddie at his best, David sayin eddie hear is a bottle of jack and u want some u better show me what u got, let me hear you play that fucking guitar! awesome stuff

[mastertonguetim69]

I was sent here by my Mommy,she was a Van Halen groupie...LOL

[xBuRToN126x]

With the arrow keys press right, left, than up or down and you can play snake while watching the video.

Thumbs up so everyone can see.

[317mason]

Awsome song!!!

[beautifulsarah100]

The best debut album in the history of rock and roll, bar none.  This fucking thing kicked ass in more ways than I can count.

[sean1291995]

@k0ra00 slash is guns and roses...

[agradywills]

8 dislikes? I am very interested in what you like to listen to.

[metalsanga]

How in fuck's name were they doing this in 1978?!?!? Absolutely amazing

[Crazygermankidowns]

@metalsanga what does the year have anything to do with it?

[rrhynes]

@metalsanga Lots of practice.lol

[Wowkiller320]

great band!,think the 1st is the best!

[greenkorn69]

I was sent here by my dad when he showed me this record back in '99 when i was 6

[MrVeesworld]

Thumbs up if you weren't here by 1978!

[bevyk777]

EVH!!!!! only the BEST!

[TheAmericanMosaic]

This song gets me kind of emotional. As in, I was just crying my eyes out. This is fucking GREATNESS that will never be matched. When this is on you might accidentally take your car up to 90mph, sing along with the DOO WOP section, and if you're not careful, go sailing over a cliff. And it was pointed out - this was recorded in ONE TAKE. What kind of band does that?

[gwonam5150]

@k0ra00 Eddie sent me. How's that

[TheEvildigits]

Who the hell is Slash? I was sent here by Toy Machine: Welcome to Hell.

[DannyFox06]

@TheEvildigits What the hell is Toy Machine? I came here for Van Halen.

[2373muon]

greatest debut album is appetite for destruction, but eddie is the greatest guitar player that ever will live

[XxXxGxXxXPL]

Im sent here by my bf playing this song on GH all the time!!

[fishpig85]

the beginning makes my ears orgasm

[tmcc420]

@fishpig85 yeah its called an eargasm ;)

[fishpig85]

@tmcc420 yeah thats it! an eargasm. thanks!

[guitarkid177]

Shoobie doobie doobie dowah

[sevghiangel]

Amazing guitar! Eddy is the Einstein in the knowlegde of Rockguitar.

[sonykroket]

And a nuke went off in rock-land...........

[Syzygy60]

no one sent me,I came of my own accord...not the auto

[rrhynes]

Who would have ever guessed we would be fawning over this album over 30 years after it's release.

[lonelyislandfan14]

Thumbs up if the Channel 101 vid, "Yacht Rock #9" sent you here!

[beautifulsarah100]

This is the greatest debut album in the history of music. Number 2 isn't even fucking close.

[thisischavez]

@beautifulsarah100. I couldn't agree with you more. Well said. (raising my drink)

[beautifulsarah100]

@beautifulsarah100 I just so happen to have a drink while I'm reading your comment, and I'm raising mine back to you. This fucking album will never be equaled.

[tsimmer777]

@beautifulsarah100 - Yeah, and considering 2 rocked ass, it's a real high praise-I love this album!

[kreaper75]

@beautifulsarah100 what about appetite for destruction????
