Billy Idol - Jump (Van Halen Cover)

[Skedaren]

Steve you aint even close but I still love you and its impossible to beat the god.

[carlsoak]

i really hold Eddie in veneration , but give Steve a guitar and he`ll play it in an even way if not better. I don`t know anyone who`s able to shred faster than him. Did you ever see one of his 90 minutes solo performances @ Hamburg Guitar Festival

[Mockingbird5150]

Great Band.

[MeltdownNuclear]

Axis Guitar jeje

[aapoaalto2]

Steve Stevens is playing guitar that is designed by Eddie - Obviously!

[Hunkola]

Not the greatest cover --- but Billy Idol got SWAGGER like David Lee Roth !!

[giorgio116]

billy idol sucks very well...

[synthartist69]

Billy Idol would be a good front man for van halen!

[misserikad]

I like Steve Stevens but in my opinion the solo is not a patch on EVH versions, he evens screws up and has to recover.

[michaelteter]

@misserikad I would bet that Steve Stevens played exactly what he wanted to play. This guy could shred in his sleep.

[Mayhemdog]

The old ones are the best.

[krismystery]

Wow!!! Billy rocks Van Halen !!!!!

[heryblax]

Watch the drummer: He really enjoys playing this song! What an energy in each hit to drums and cymbals...

[chiller70s]

Beats the hell out of Sammy's version with VH.

[TheEtae]

Hairs standing up on the back of my neck

[patsow]

Billy idiot should be beheaded for this

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

JK,the solo is good,even great. Sounds better than evh in this timeframe. But not as good as 1984 perhaps.

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

I switched the guitar tab on Steven when it came time to learn the solo. This solo is actually by the band Slackbread.

[kavmannish]

this isnt bad but just leave this one to van halen

[ajaxrules1975]

oops.... that solo....

[melsun30]

can anyone tell me what year this is from please

[Parantido]

I Disagree ... the solo is inappropriate!

[barkasiswilling74]

@Parantido the solo is inappropriate what are you on lol

[Parantido]

@barkasiswilling74 Yes dude ... I think so! Just an opinion ...

[michaelteter]

Take one of the most iconic songs of the 80s and get two other iconic 80s performers to play it and you have this. Fan-fucking-tastic.

[steph285380]

true talent!!!

[hilfri1]

I first heard "Jump" on KROQ, LA area in 80s, not Billy or Van Halen, softer, version.......anyone heard that version and know who did it? If so, give me a heads up and I'll owe ya, best,

[thegreenhouseman]

@hilfri1 It's a band called Aztec Camera...real mellow with blazing guitar at end...I hope that's what you're looking for...

[hilfri1]

@thegreenhouseman Hey, thanks, you are totally right. AC's version is my favorite of what seems to me like a romantic song....Not that Billy Idol doesn't rock! Really appreciate your taking the time to drop a line on AC's version, now I can play it whenever I want:) Best,

[meldahl]

Billy Idol is a GILF lol

[warehousetroll1]

theres only one alternative to getting older still proud to be 62 and loving it

[Thrashfan21]

If it doesn't work out with Dave maybe Eddie should give Billy Idol a call?

[davideburford]

Wow!! Total awesomeness.=)

[Muffymanila]

OMG ..I'm in love with the drummer....<3

[niftynev66]

good cover, but billy just cant sing like hagar can... nice try though

[skeleman1963]

@niftynev66 - David Lee Roth sang this song for Van Halen,,,Hagar bites....

[PhantomSticky]

Good job on the solo. Not the way Eddie does it, but hey... Steve Stevens can do whatever the fuck he wants. Because he's Steve Stevens.

[ZzzparkzzZ]

@PhantomSticky

He really messed up the solo and he knew it.

[MrJMontrose]

No problems, everyone's having fun. Not a bad cover. Onya Billy

[superlurf]

THIS FRIGGIN EPIC!

[greenworldBornheim]

super, aber der sänger singt schief

[Tharg]

woah , The Big Lebowski plays bass ???

cool !

:P

[bakersfieldmusicnow]

i think dave would be proud....or jealous...great job billy and boys!

[btwine2001]

its amazing how an old rocker like billy is doing a cover of van halen thats just saying how great Van Halen was!!!!

[Charlesrocks]

Love it!!!

[buddh4p0w3r]

Billy Idol look a lot like Joey Kramer...

[OffalAutopsy]

Most underrated guitarist ever!!!

[Hunkola]

David Lee Roth and Billy Idol = TWO DUDES WITH SWAGGER TO SING THIS

[mttukhighintensity]

I said the drummer IS the shit, meaning hes awsome, not that he is shit!!! Duh!

[DanielPunkIdol]

This is better then original verison.Drummer is excellent!Steve kick ass on that guitar!And Billy...he's fucking great as always!

[VictorIdol]

Best performance!

[blueleadguitar]

Bloody brilliant, thanks Tom! :-)

[mttukhighintensity]

this drummer is the shit!!

[AprysS]

Pretty cool!

[BibbyMess]

Steve Stevens is cool and Billy is great.

[OrganicAudioRecordrs]

kinda janky on the solo _ but damn that tone really sounds like (newer) Ed....guess it helps that he's using the same guitar :)

[maxsmell]

whooooa dolph lundgren is an awesome singer

[wolfoshea]

lets face it people billys at his best when hes got steve at his side.

[thisischavez]

@wolfoshea. I didn't think there was a person out there that thought differently. Steve is money on stage and in the studio.

[ferguscoryell]

25 people have severe head trauma... 

[fmbighair]

Is that Brian Tichey on drums? He played on Zak Wylde's Pride & Glory album, amazing underrated drummer.

[vancosper]

Stevens is fucking bad ass no way around that.

[idolquiltmama]

Brian Tichy is the drummer. I think this is way better than the original version! Gotta love an Idol song to get one moving' and JUMPING! :-)

[nickwellings]

Who's the drummer here? He rocks.

[f666frankster]

Hey ! What's up with Billy singingJump !!! But hey! its was good with a nice vibe ! Everybody is having a big smile !!!

[kizzie48]

@f666frankster I thought the same thing.Even had the correct lyrics which has Dave beat.

[NJburbsSeeker]

And that is what happens when a very skilled fan does a cover. Billy Idol does covers of all the people he admires.

[LJZN]

Derek.. wtf are you doing there!!

[yourgasm]

This is a sensational cover. Probably the best cover I've heard

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

Why do this? I love Billy Idol but as Butthead once said, "Ozzy shouldn't have done this" lol. Still, looks like a GREAT concert. Billy can make anything sound good but he's reaching here.

[campoobutt]

@snarlingrabiddog5150 Because he can. Artistic freedom.

[pacmannick]

Better than Glee

[davjdee1]

STEVIE STEVENS IS THE MAN:)

[modawg8k]

awesome cover, just wish i could hear the keys a little louder

[smartestmanonnet]

Awful

[rodrigozamo]

what about derek sherinian. Nobody's made a comment about him... without his keyboards this song would be nothing...

[xXneleTHEkreleXx]

@rodrigozamo I agree.Sherinian is also fuckin' great.

[Hunkola]

Billy Idol is one of the few artists with enough swagger to cover this song the right way........ROCK ON, BILLY

[ronaldvanderkleij]

Hey little sister whos the only one yes mate its van halen. Billy go back to your generation x time and give your wile if you get one a white wedding sweetie.

[ricardoleony]

fucking awesome

[Euph0ria74]

Billy screws up big at 1:49. lol

Still one of the best videos I've seen that shows the awesome raw energy put into a song from the drummer.

[UrbanArtifact]

@Euph0ria74 He also screwed up the intro to the second verse but it's still very good.

[thewhatsupquiqui]

@Euph0ria74 yeaaaah, he does screw up big! but... he kinda rescued it pretty well

[skwid12]

hell ya!!!

[SpaceAudio]

the guitar part is amazing! wahahaha! alright!!!

[trinzeon]

EXCELLENT!!! Steve Steven's rocks

[GitarStu]

This is brilliant! And how good is the drummer! He got into it so much!

Billy Van Halen FTW!

[kokoro739]

Todo se devuelve... en 1981 Eddie Van Halen se casa con Valerie Bertinelli, el tema elegido para la ceremonia fue de Billy Idol "White Wedding "

[kokoro739]

[kokoro739]

[Ankyjuk2]

the drummer needs to calm down... he's goin' to destroy his drums :o

[frank1in25]

@Ankyjuk2 but is awesome

[lvanhalen]

Damn they rocked this 1 hard very good cover

[EStrong]

Holy Fucking Shit!!! I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it. Excellent!!! Now I've got massive wood so I guess I'll be dancing with myself for a bit. LOL...

[simosolo]

Strangest thing I've seen or heard today. It's the one thing I would have least expected from Billy Idol. I think it's also the first time I hear him sing too instead or growling.

[shinedwk]

dont like van halen,but love billy.

[232laser]

exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover.

[232laser]

exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover, exelente cover.

[BCWTrackandField]

ugh................ ok i guess

[nabeko99]

It is not a tune that the punk rocker sings.

[bobsbro4]

@nabeko99 Neither is any other of Billy Idol's songs :P

He isn't punk... not thta I dont like his music.

[tgs2006]

Awesome. Billy gets better the older he gets. Steve Stevens can kick the shit out of that guitar.

[lvanhalen]

@tgs2006 I loved stevens solo

[COPTONER]

steve fucking stevens!!

[greymilton]

Vote thumbs up if like this better than the original!

[BCWTrackandField]

@greymilton uh no.

[MrTraceMan]

You know this really is a very good version, Steve is unfreakingbelieveable!

[0sselito]

21 persons not JUMP!

[6kok]

@0sselito Do you close ur fucking mouth .... not every body like this fake Version So Me i did dislike this shit Because this version SUCK SO SFTU you know-nothing about 80s faggot

[0sselito]

@6kok Maricon va a ser tu puta madre!, de los 80 conozco mas de tu te crees pues soy bastante mas mayor que tu, niñato! y si no me entiendes, te jodes! y tu video tocando el cover de Van Halen apesta!

[tania547]

Van Halen would proud of you Billy! You rock!

[icaroalfa]

BILLY and jump forever.

[Roxy4217]

Billy idol what a mad cunt. I love ya bra!

[devil18666]

god i could be a totally homo for this guy leather well sexy

[djones1228]

how can anyone bash Steve Stevens....GTFO

[plaidzinc]

If you want to hear the guitarist in this video (Steve Stevens) playing in the style of Eddie Van Halen search youtube for "Steve Stevens VHII pickups"

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

Steve Stevens, He's the guy who did the guitar in the Top Gun Anthem. How can you diss that? And I'm a Van Halen Die Hard. Unfreakinbelieveable cover!

[haywood16]

Steve did a good job and did his own thing with the solo.

[plaidzinc]

For the goobers watching this video who are insulting the guitar player. You should know he (Steve Stevens) and Eddie Van Halen are long time friends. If you google their names you'll probably find old pictures of them together. I saw one pic a long time ago and the caption read that Steve was teaching Eddie how to play Rebel Yell. Oh, and search youtube for Steve Stevens + Van Halen to see them playing on stage together from the 1980's.

[jetsonic69]

Billy Idol does kinda look like David Lee Roth :)

same dumb blonde punk rock hair, same rock n roll hard attitude :)

[NewShimmer]

I'll give the band an "A". Billy gets a B-.

[flamingcurent]

Wow Billy Idol is the only person who could do this song justice! Gotta love Billy Idol!

[muddypuddlerules]

this is a real cover. it actually sounds good instead of everybodys gay covers with a cheap keyboard and crappy strat and singer who looks like a neo nazi. this is great. and its billy idol 2 so that makes it better.

[Griffen427]

Ah he's playing it on a wolfy i think

[MrHeavysteel]

1:03 to 1:06, Steve what happened to slide?

[Blaubeerwald1]

I think Van Halen couldn't have played their own song that good in 2005.

[abelcp22]

sounds good

[fukimotoz]

Wow! I actually like this version better than Van Halen. I like Billy singing better than Diamond Dave.

[nomadnomad666999]

@fukimotoz For me DD is best but Billy does it better than Sammy Hagar.

[aek21ellas]

the original with Van Halen is much better than this one

[gtv54]

The best cover of Jump!

[ninelivecat]

@gtv54 No Roddy Frames studio cover is better because he did something different with it

[Warthogfan]

@gtv54 better than the original band can do now.

[Ballinjw]

@Warthogfan dont hate on van halen

[Warthogfan]

@Ballinjw Sorry but they just tired old men now. I am a massive fan, but not what they are now.

[lolzmaster33]

@Warthogfan wrong there touring again :D

[Pat9201]

@Warthogfan ya,i hear ya on that one...lol

[Bisiabeata]

@Warthogfan You are right. I just watched Van Halen performing Jump 2007 and I must say Billy does it much, much better.

[xxmattyreynolds92xx]

i know every band who does a cover trys to do it in there own style but steve stevens really did ruin a great song with the solo he did! i think steve is a great guitar player but no. just no!

[vladikuss1]

I think no one can copy van halen so don't even try

[enginebooze]

anyone knows the name of the guitarist please?

tahnk you

[AltPick1]

@enginebooze: The name of the guitarist is Steve Stevens.

[enginebooze]

@AltPick1 thanks, i think Steve Steven is real cool

[korky94]

@AltPick1

yeah he's very underrated

[pimppotatoe]

i swear the older billy idol gets the better he gets.

[3m3c3p3ka]

un capo... jeje ;)

[bacardistuff]

awesome!

[ShockRockRecords]

Billy loves performing it, there´s a lot of energy in the tune and he did an super job.

Pretty cool version to be honest.

[80srockersds]

Hey Eddie ought to talk to Billy bout singing in VH !

[mikosoft]

The synth is too faint

[maichelbraderz]

like this style.........

[maichelbraderz]

mantap...............hupf

[neresitha]

nomanches esta bien chingon

[stolenpantsproductio]

THIS IS TERRIBLE BILLY IDOL SHOULD GET THE DEATH PENALTY FOR DOING THIS. I CANT BELIEVE HE RUINED ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK SONGS FOR ME SO KNOW WHAT FAG HOPE YOUR FUCKING HAPPY! YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR LIKING THIS AND I DONT CARE WHAT YOU LITTLE FAGGOTY ASS BILLY IDOL FAN BOYS SAY TO THIS. I ONLY SAY FUCK YOU AND LISTEN TO SOME REAL MUSIC CAUSE ALL BILLY IDOL IS, A FUCKING WANNA BE POPSTAR ''ROCK N ROLL'' BULLSHIT. ITS A LAME ATTEMPT AND HE SHOULD JUST DIE!!

[DicklessWonder2]

@stolenpantsproductio

Go back down to your mom's basement.

[superlurf]

@stolenpantsproductio I hope billy smashes a guitar on your head

[misterjameswest]

Not bad at all. Billy could hit the notes and Steve Stevens is a world class guitarist. Not bad at all. :D

[VanHalenWorshiper]

sick version!

[bailey32121]

van halen wannabes, sorry but no band can match up to van halen

[DukeNukem65]

I think the guitar solo rocked! You go Billy and band!

[maxofschierling]

big daddy cool diesel on the bass

[TheGreypuma]

Billy!! Jump! :))

[WarningPunkSpirit]

BIG BILLY YEAH!!!!

[Shabockery]

The guitar solo was awful and covered up poor Derek's keyboard solo.

[KJBCFCTID25]

You Muppets that say Idol can't perform music are sad boring people!!!

Rock on Billy YOU ARE A TRUE ROCK LEGEND!!!!!

The knockers get a Life !!!!!!!!

[AFMike0129]

Billy does this better that David Lee Roth...haha. Roth sucks.....Sammy Hagar will always be the best front man of Van Halen.

[jenssmit]

you like this song? look at this band! /watch?v=Q7GkOtccN04

kid band!

[999storm999]

The guitarist was trying so hard to steal the show >.<

[rubenpunk1983]

Billy Idol es un... idolo.... valga la redundancia :P 

[DailyBrusher]

This is just silly.

[sanddollar10164]

It looks like every time he goes to jump, they switch to another camera?

[blobo123]

i hate how they totally turn down the synth after the intro and turn up the guitar...even the synth solo you cant hear over crappy guitar solo..but billy does a good job of it..

[AJT2009100]

Billy Idol sucks! He deserves to die because he just KILLED the song Jump by Van Halen. This fucking cocksucker

[emwjmannen2]

this is pretty good to be live, and by a then 50 year old dude,
