Their low-budget videos were some of the best things on MTV back in the day.
They said this video cost $300 to make.
@@BlackGuardXIII yeah Dave exaggerated a little bit they said it probably cost about 20 grand
@@drcuda71 that sounds more believable. I know they recorded it in Eddie’s home studio, but you still need camera operators, editors etc. Thanks
Their 'low budget' videos were some of the costliest videos at the time. See Pretty Woman for example. By comparison, watch 'I Ran' with the aluminium foil covered set by Flock of Seagulls. THAT was low budget.
Did MTV actually fund it? I thought they just showed videos after they were made on the band's or publisher's dime.
I realize how old I am now, when somebody listens to this classic song from my teenage years, and it is their first time hearing it in 2024.
I was 29 when this was released in 1983, So kinda feel ya on that ! lol
Oh yes🤣...I was 17 those days😏
I was 16 when this came out and went to see them at the meadowlands for the first time during their 1984 tour
You're not alone. I was 25 when this was released. Can you believe this song is more than 40 years old?
I was born in 75. This was everywhere when I was a kid.
Another great song by Van Halen is called "Panama" and have a wonderful day
Absolutely 👍👍
David Lee Roth (singer) is also into martial arts, that's why he is able to do that.
Jumping front kick (karate)
hello, he was into Kung Fu, ladder kick....cheers@@alanfoster6589
And he also did a lot of climbing.
He invented Roth-Fu, the rockingest combat system known to man.
Also done a lot of roundhouse kicks to 🏴
Eddie had the most infectious smile. His brother Alex on the drums, was the hardest worker in the video.
Alex NEVER gets enough Credit!! This Clear Drum Kit was Awesome!!! The Long-Tube High Toms and Roto-Drums were unique for that time!!!
I always felt Eddie's guitar playing overshadowed Alex's drumming but it really shouldn't have done because Alex is one of the best drummer's in rock history yet he's so criminally underrated.
Alex was definitely not the hardest worker --- Dave actually did most of the work --- drawing up the concepts for all three of the 1984 album videos
Eddie was just on a whole other world. He'll always be missed.
Yea Eddie was so cool
@@derhampaul2182 boring guitarist though.
When I was in the army we always played this song in the plane extreme loud and shouted along before we went parajumping. Goosebumbs every time I hear this song. Gives you so much energy.
thanks for your service bud ;)
Van Halen were THE party band in the 80s. Before the term "hair metal" was coined, there was "teeth metal" because the band members were smiling! The singer WANTED to be there! This band invited girls to come along for the ride, as opposed to the darker metal that had existed before. This was definitely the feel good, fun song of 1984.
Great reaction!
Sure, but they weren't metal, rather, hard rock.
Weren't metal! Fucking Atomic Punk was about as metal as its gets! Just because they had radio friendly songs doesn't mean Van Halen couldn't fucking melt your face!!@OgreProgrammer
@@OgreProgrammer in the early years Van Halen was considered metal --- James Hetfield even said that the first couple VH albums was the "most metal stuff" around back then
I’m black bro and it was Van Halen and Def Lepard for us👍
This captured the 80s very well. Just a good time, feel good tune.
You would love “Panama” by Van Halen as the video exemplifies the fun that VH put into rock !! RIP EVH …
Panama fucking rips lol
I liked that video because it showed hard the boys in Van Halen partied back in the day --- nobody could match them when it came to partying
the keyboard riff is one of the most iconic 80s sounds ever , takes me back EVERY time i hear it
eddie once said he wanted to be known as a great keyboardist....but his fun on guitar even eclipsed that
80s, van halen t-shirts, albums, mtv videos, those were the great times in high school.
I was a gymnast back when this song came out, jump was so badass to tumble to.
Aileen - you were adorable doing your little dance moves and smiling taking it all in. Made the video a lot of fun to watch.
That opening hits so hard for those of us who grew up on this. Brings back memories of jumping off the back porch with a couple kids from my neighborhood accompanied by cheesy air guitar using old tennis rackets.
"Panama" is another good one!
Their album 1984 was highly anticipated. Back in the day there were release dates of albums. I know they still do it, but it doesn’t compare to the old days. By this time Van Halen was huge and I remember going to the record store with some buddies the day this album came out. Crowded, long lines, but the vibe was happy. Some people were buying the album, some the cassette and some were buying both.
Popped the cassette in the cassette player once back in the car and, man, we weren’t disappointed. We had smiles just like the ones in the video.
Smiles for miles --- that's how I remember the glory days of Halen
This world really really needs more reactions that get Aileen dancing... just as precious as the Van Halen boys!
That guitar tapping technique that Eddie had...many people think that he brought it into the rock music scene. Well, he came up with the name of 'tapping', but the actual guitarist who influenced his playing and who was the one introducing it into the rock music scene was called Steve Hackett. 🙂 He was in the band Genesis from 1971 to 1977. And there are three songs that showcase his tapping technique: The Musical Box, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed and Dancing With The Moonlit Knight. 😊😊
Let’s give some love to Alex Van Halen absolutely killing it on the drums!!!! ❤❤
You NEED to watch the video for "Panama". One of the greatest opening hard-driving guitar riffs from the 80's... no lead in, no intro... just an explosion of Eddie blasting through the speakers from the drop of the needle. A song about a car. One of their best rock songs in the David Lee Roth era.
The spirit of Eddie lives on through his son, Wolfgang--who is also a very talented musician & a chip off his dad's block for sure.
I watched this every day on MTV.
Good times.
They are in their prime and having the time of their lives. The energy is infectious, full of joy. This video is so well done capturing some beautiful smiles, dancing and goofing around not to mention the great talent on one stage. One of the great positive and early music videos bringing back fabulous memories. The beauty of youth, happiness and hope for the future. 😎❤💫
I was a kid in the 80's. People had fun. You saw the joy on their faces.
Amazing song. It is very nice so many radio stations playing it after almost 40 years. Nice reaction 👍🤟
Album released in January '84, I was a senior in high school, and to this day, it's about the best video I've seen. Loved them guys back then, it was so exciting as an 18 yr old! My gosh, you crying made me cry, realizing Eddie is gone!
They looked so happy in this video for sure. Love your reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Its a pleasure watching you react. Your always positive, as well as beautiful. I was so lucky to see a lot of these great bands in concert. I would have to say the 70s and 80s had the best rock music ever made...long live ROCK AND ROLL
8:00...........you are one, astute, young lady regarding the happiness/sadness aspects of seeing these guys perform. It is truly an art we are losing with Van Halen's generation of performers, I, for one, am grateful it's down on record and video for all to continue to enjoy. Don't cry 'cause we lost Ed.........smile that it ever happened in the first place.
Ms. Aileen, this is by far the BEST reaction to this song that I’ve seen! Love your enthusiasm, it’s infectious! Keep them coming!!❤️
Aileen, your dancing gives me life!
They are so cute in this video. Having fun being together and playing music and messing around.
Happy times for sure. This was the first Van Halen song I heard back in the 80s. Still like it and the lyrics mean more to me now.
Eddie is so missed. The world isn't the same without him in it. Great reaction video. I always loved Van Halen because they were always about having fun.
Diamond Dave was a hell of a front man! He was so flexible because he practiced Chinese martial arts for years!
He did practice karate but also Brazilian jui-jitsu
This is a classic and fun fact the 1984 Chicago Cubs and WGN used it for their intro. So this song hits double for me 😁
I remember that too.
Me too , still makes me sad
Was it the ‘84 team that lost to the Padres in the NLCS?
@@CdnTrader1 yup 😒
@@CdnTrader1 Don’t remind me!
Aileen, you brought me to tears at the end of the video because I grew up with Van Halen and you expressed the emotions that all of us feel when we watch Van Halen videos and see how much fun they had and how much joy they brought to all of us …Eddie Van Halen was like Magic Johnson in that he was legendary and always smiling and it made you like them that much more !..keep those Van Halen reactions coming !!,
Feels good knowing the younger generations can feel the sense of loss when Eddie died --- his music will inspire people for centuries
Great reaction! Love your honest and heartfelt reviews of the music I grew up on. You would have had so much fun in the 80's. This was the anthem for the summer of '84! Just so much fun and their music was such a part of my teen years. Glad you got to hear the magic that is Van Halen.
This Van Halen video brings tears to my eyes. I'm a chronic nostalgic.
Always so weird to see them here at their happiest just moments before the band implodes. Your joy watching this is something to behold. What an adorable human being.
Just a truly great feel-good song. Love the instrumentals on the keyboard and guitar and David Lee Roth is infectious.
I'm 51 and saw that amazing video on the real MTV when it first aired. Timeless song. Awesome group.
Best time growing up! Eddie will always be the man of Van Halen...keep ROCKN!! \m/!! RIP EDDIE CUZ YOU ARE DEEPLY MISSED 😢
Just had to say real quick as I'm watching this, not only is this song infectious as it is, so is always your energy and vibes during these sorts of videos/reactions ❤
The eighties was the BEST decade! I wish I could go back and live them all over again.
Van Halen is a beautiful mix of hype songs, fun tunes, ballads, and anthems. Such an amazing group.
Love Van Halen, both eras (Roth & Hagar). Another good live performance was "One Way to Rock" from their 1989 tour in Tokyo. It was a Hagar solo but Eddie put his own spin on it. So many good songs to check out for this band like "Hot For Teacher", "Panama", "I'll Wait", "Runnin With The Devil", Ain't Talkin Bout Love", "Unchained", "Mean Street", "Atomic Punk", "Dreams", "Poundcake", "Right Now", "Why Can't This Be Love", "When It's Love", "Judgement Day", & "Top Of The World" to name a few!
You did a great job articulating small details of the era and the band. Great job. Really enjoyed your commentary.
Loved your reaction. You really understood what made Van Halen great, their energy!
I remember the TV channel Eurosport sometimes played this song but with video clips of race cars flying in the air (always synced to the word "jump") and then crashing, when I was a kid in the 80's. Took a while before I understood that wasnt the actual video for the song lol.
Bassist Mike Anthony had the best harmony vocals ever. A true rock star.
From one Van Halen fan to another, that was a great reaction. You get what that band was all about. Well done.
Such a fun song. Brings a smile to our face. Thanks for a great reaction.
Awww, I was weeping right along with you! It's such a beautiful song; it was an instant classic when it came out, as soon as you heard it. I wasn't even a huge Van Halen fan particularly when it came out, but this one was undeniable. Gorgeous melody, gorgeous keyboard riffs, great changes, great playing......a perfect record.
Yeah, I'm sure I'm not alone in my admiration of the band. I'm sorry, but there is no replacing Diamond Dave. Great video.
Just a trivia mention since you've been captured by Eddie's unique sound and enjoyed "Eruption" - the instrumental song for the end credits of Twister is by him and his brother Alex, "Respect the Wind".
Love all this venturing out to other decades. XX
David Lee Roth has been a martial artist for years, so not surprising he could do all those flexible moves.
He actually started learning karate around age 10
VH's "1984" LP/vinyl (cassette) was their final time together (w/Roth). Surreal it's 40 yrs. ago. Time flies!
Along with "Jump", I luv Panama, Hot For Teacher, Drop Dead Legs, and Top Jimmy.
RIP, Eddie VH. 🎸🐐
EDIT: Happy they reunited with Roth in 2012. Released one final album together.
There are many good music reactors on YT, but you, Aileen, are the BEST! Thank you for another great reaction! I am reliving my first times hearing these bands/musicians through your fabulous reactions - which feels awesome! 😀
Of all the channels who do this type of reaction format, yours is the best. Always genuine, happy, and positive. Thank you.
What a great reaction!! Glad you loved it! I was 12 yrs old when this came out and looked forward to this video every night. It was also fun putting this tape in the jambox outside as we played football in the front yard.
THE feel-good rock song of the early 80's
David Lee Roth been a martial artist since he was 12 - heres his credintials.. 5 Degree's of Black Belt in TAEKWONDO, 2 Degree's of Black Belt in NINJITSU, 1 Degree Black Belt in Chinese KENPO KARATE, and a Blue Belt in Gracie JIUJITSU... so yep, np with jumps,kicks & splits lol
Some of the groups I grew up with are Seals and Crofts, Bad Company, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Carpenters, Three Dog Night, CCR, Deep Purple, The Doobie Brothers, The Sweet, Doctor Hook, Steely Dan and many others. We used to have American Top 40 every Sunday night.. We also had The Midnight Special and later on Don Kirchner's Rock Concert. It was a whole different world then. I really enjoy seeing young people hearing the music I grew up with
David Lee Roth (Van Halen's original vocalist) said that Van Halen's sound was rock music that had grooves that u could move and dance to... along w/ vocal harmonies that were memorable. That was why Van Halen appealed to so many women in the peak of their career.
Despite the goofy and smiling party image, Van Halen was a mix of drugs, alcohol, tensions and egos clashing... 'Jump' became a #1 single in 1984 (their only #1 hit) but it was a tough sell for Roth because he opposed Eddie Van Halen playing keyboards on Van Halen records.
Eddie Van Halen wrote the music on keyboards in 1981 but Roth hated the track and refused to write lyrics and sing on it... David Lee Roth was the singer and he acted like the band's taskmaster - only he would decide which songs would make it on Van Halen records...
Fed up w/ Roth's hesitation, Eddie Van Halen insisted in 1983 that 'Jump' would be on the Van Halen '1984' album... it was their first synthesizer-heavy song (along w/ "I'll wait") that made the record. Roth wrote the lyrics to 'Jump' apparently inspired by TV footage of a guy on the ledge of a building attempting to jump and take his own life! But it was perceived as an inspirational song...
Van Halen's '1984' album sold 10 million copies in the US and was a huge hit on MTV and radio w/ the singles 'Panama' ... 'Hot for teacher'... "I'll wait"... but on tour that year, the band was imploding w/ substance abuse and infighting... David Lee Roth was always drinking and barely singing onstage and the others were no better off...
In 1985, David Lee Roth recorded a solo EP 'Crazy from the heat'... hoping it would become a Hollywood movie while Van Halen were on a break. Eddie Van Halen was writing a new album which was keyboard-heavy and Roth was not enthusiastic about the music... Somehow, Roth parted ways w/ Van Halen that year.
Unsure of how to move forward, Van Halen contacted numerous singers... ultimately hooking up w/ veteran solo singer Sammy Hagar, who finished the next Van Halen album '5150' in 1986 (which went to #1 in the US charts) ... while David Lee Roth launched his solo career w/ the album "Eat 'em and smile"...
Beautiful lady with a beautiful smile. Yeah, VH is one if the best rock bands ever. RIP Eddie!
I had the great fortune to see Van Halen in concert in 1984 & they were beyond fantastic! Believe it or not when they performed this song it was almost identical to the video jumps and all by David Lee Roth. I gained a whole new respect for Eddie Van Halen's guitar skills after seeing that concert. One of the best concerts I have ever seen and I have seen some great ones! Hard to believe that was 40 years ago.
Aileen - your reaction brought tears to my eyes - but tears of joy! Thanks for the honesty.

*I love when you move your eyebrows.*
🖤🖤
Hahaaa.. that and the hip rocking 😍 reminds me of all the music scenes in 80s movies 😂 girls in taverns, bars, drive-ins, barns, factories, and malls dancing 👍 Awesome Reaction
SO HAPPY YOU DID JUMP!!! I gotta put you on Frog Leap aka Leo's cover of Jump and also Wolfgang VH (Eddie's son's band). Both amazing and you would enjoy both of them. Also love how happy you are dancin' around haha. 😊❤
I was in 5TH grade and my friend's older brothers made us listen. I fell in love . never the same 40 years later
Hi Aileen, Like your channel. You have very cool reactions. Being a musician, songwriter and vocalist myself, Van Halen was one of my favorite bands. They have so much interesting history too. You were talking about Dave's high kicks, well, not only was Dave into martial arts and martial arts weaponry but he also had a triple joined back. This is why you'll see him in some videos where he can bend backwards extremely far. Also, both Eddie and Alex Van Halen took piano lessons as kids. Eddie was actually the first one to play drums before his brother. He got them as a young teen and had a paper route that he was working to pay on his drums. But when he was working, his brother would play his drums. Eventually he got better on drums then Eddie so then he deiced to start playing guitar. They had some weird demands in their touring contracts such as a big bowl of M&M's but no brown ones. So, somebody had to pick out all the brown ones before taking them to their dressing room. lol Their dad was also a good musician. He played guitar and clarinet. The band actually had him come in the studio and play clarinet on a song titled: "Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now). It's on the band's album called "Diver Down". And it was actually David Lee Roth's idea to have Eddie and Alex's dad come and play.
The M&M's in the contract/rider served a practical purpose (See Wikipedia and sources): If the bowl, without brown M&Ms was present, then the band, management and crew could safely assume the other, more legitimate concerns in the technical rider were fulfilled; conversely, if the bowl was missing, or brown M&M's were present, then Van Halen management would be within their rights to have their crew or the venue inspect the work, redo it or even cancel the night's production at the venue's expense.
David Lee Roth was a martial artist for ever, I don't remember how young he was when he started but he is very limber and has amazing jumps and stuff.
They were great live.
Aileen, it was fun to watch your reaction. "Jump" was released in the U.S. in December 1983, & it was Van Halen's first & only #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. For those unaware about the Van Halen brothers, Eddie (guitar) & Alex (drums). They were both born in The Netherlands (Amsterdam), & they are both Dutch (Father) & Indonesian (Mother) ethnically & American nationality wise. The Van Halen family immigrated to the U.S. (Pasadena, California) in 1962 & the rest is history.
He played guitar in Michael Jackson's "Beat It",and more... Do a little 'diggin' and the rabbit hole goes deep!🎉🥳
Love You!!!🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥
the sad story is the inspiration for the song. it's about jumping, but specifically one man jumping to his demise.
Of course they were smiling, I heard they were hammered when they made this vid.
This brightened my day all I could do is jump another amazing and awesome reaction ❤🔥
Got to like this one...
I've never seen anyone groove so hard to this song before.
Panama! A Must hear/see.
thank you for listening to the music that I grew up with.. Im so glad that you can here real music.....
Loved your reaction!! I think the word "precious" to describe them in this video is perfect (especially Eddie's smiles🥰)... precious is perfect!!🙃 Now if you wanna see another fun video, check out "PANAMA"... it's a banger!!!👊It reached #2 on Billboard's US mainstream rock chart and #13 on Billboard's Hot 100 for a reason, but the video is something to behold!!😜 Peace and light to all...💞
Your outfit makes this video work. I can see you at the concert, front row, and loving it all.
Around the time of the KARATE KID movie in 1984, many people were showing off their kicks and stuff, acting like seasoned martial arts masters.
It is hard to believe that most of the time, at this period, these 4 guys could barely stand to be in the same room as the others.
I remember a bit from a late 80's comedy show. 'A long, long time ago.. back when MTV only had one video. I mean, you could only watch David Lee Roth JUMP so many times...'
A froend of mine calls Van Halen "teeth rock" cause they are always smiling
This is pure feel good energy and Eddie's smile is infectious. So cool to see amazingly talented musicans not taking themselves too seriously and making fun music that everyone can vibe to :D
What you are feeling is desiderum, a sort of nostalgia or melancholia for something you never experienced. The feeling of seeing something so nice, uplifting and good, thinking about the a time and a place that is long gone now, and that you'll never get to experience other than by seeing the shadows of it like you did here.
The only solace is that in 50 year some young woman or man will be having the same feeling that you're having now relating to your era, and all the fantastic things you are experiencing now.
The Portuguese actually have a word for this feeling. "Saudade".
A precious moment in time.
This song and album was so huge in '84, you would not believe. Another amazing artist/innovator/soul gone way too soon. RIP
“Don’t Tell Me What Love Can Do” is one of Van Halen’s most under appreciated songs from their last full album with Sammy Hagar called “Balance” Rocks hard!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this is one of the most beautiful and and thorough reviews of Van Halen I have ever seen. We all cry with you because Van Halen was an important part of our lives through one of the best decades in our history. Also we didn't know it at the time but the 1984 album would be the last hurrah for the original guys because David Lee Roth would part ways with Van Halen for the following year you should do a review of the entire fair warning album it's one of Van Halen's darkest albums the supposed critics of the time didn't think too much of this album but the fair warning album is one of Van Halen's crowning jewels and contains some of their best work that they have ever done
It's good to see young people, getting into the music people my age was into, back in the day!
This song was so huge in the mid-80's. Loved it as a kid and still so fun to hear - and especially so when also watching their simple and joyous video along with you. So fun seeing you enjoy it too!
*5:13*
*I love the way you dance to the music!!*
👍👍😁🎵🎶
Great Reaction 🎉
'80's and the '90s martial arts (David and Wushu).
I also received the title of Senpai ...
Eddie and the others showed their abilities through instruments 🎸 ...
Back then I remember carrying the Boombox jamming to the 1984 cassette 😂 all the way to the swimming hole.
The group brings back a lot of memories .
Thanks for the entertainment ‼️
A bunch of awesome personalities that were having fun playing music for their fans.
Aileen hun you would have had a BALL back in the 80s , you would have fit right in and LOVED it , was SUCH a good time to be alive and jammin to the best music we had in abundance
