Bending, tapping, chicken picking, scratching, screeching... Eddie was the master!!

Romeo's Delight is a hidden gem.

The Best VH album IMO Eddie sound is insane and his playing is so aggressive he takes to another level…

I don't know if it's enough to say aggressive, the guy needed to make a guitar that was durable enough for him.

Mine too it was just raw,funky and every song was awesome

If lead guitar was like chess, Eddie would be thinking 100 moves ahead.

Try "And the Cradle Will Rock."

Agreed. They'd already checked out 'Ain't Talking 'bout Love' some time ago 🙂

Van Halen is so insanely talented

One of the most underrated greatest riffs of all times.

My favorite Van Halen album, and favorite Van Halen song.

My favorite Van Halen song of all time

One of their best songs ever.

This is my #1 favorite song from the DLR era! Love the long powerful rifs.

Fire 🔥🔥🔥 love Van Halen 💕 this whole album is 🔥 cover to cover ✌️

My favorite album along with the first album!

FOUR KEYS TO THE VAN HALEN SOUND: DIAMOND DAVE’S HOOPS, HOLLARS AND SCREAMS, EDDIE’S GUITAR 🎸 ALEX’S SNARE DRUM 🥁 AND MICHAEL ANTHONY’S STRATOSPHERE BACKING VOCALS!!! VAN HALEN: I SAW ALL THE TOURS WITH ROTH FROM VAN HALEN 1 IN 1978 TO 1984 AND AGAIN IN 2013! I SAW 5150, OU812, FOR UNLAWFUL CARNAL KNOWLEDGE AND BALANCE WITH HAGAR.

Love that Sam totally gets it and Phil being a buzz-kill. 😂

Love VH , Bassist Michael Anthony doesn’t get the love he deserves. His bass and vocals are second to none.

The groove is insane ❤

Definitely in the top 3. So dark and gritty.

The first 4 VH albums are perfect

This album is one of the underrated albums with its dark sound it’s one of my favorites……

No matter how many times I've heard this out of this world. Eddie van halen you are so so missed by millions

The mighty VAN HALEN !

Three years ago today we lost the Greatest guitar player ever. R.I.P. Eddie you are So missed.

Haven't heard this in forever. Thanks for the upload!

I remember I was 12 and my friend got this on release day, a 33 record and invited all of neighborhood kid's for a listening party. WOW was all we could say. Check out Unchained official video 🤘

Love Van Halen especially with David Lee Roth , a Frontman’s Frontman. Legendary Guitar Work from EVH , Wonderful Bass Lines & Killer Backing Vocals from Michael Anthony & Killer Drum Fills by Alex Van Halen. Wonderful Song from an Amazing Album

One of my favorite songs!!😎😎😎

"I'm The One" off the 78' album. It's a Rock and Roll roller-coaster with Eddie showcasing many of his legendary guitar skills....and great drums, bass, and Dave had fun with this one, you can hear it.. it's a treat the recording sounds soo good. Thank you Ted Templeton!

The guitar in the song Amsterdam is rocking between Eddy and Mikey on Bass is awesome

Good reaction guys, she was surfing 🏄‍♀️ the song …… she said what’s this…….🤭🤭I can’t stop moving 🫠🫠

I remember having to steal a starter for my car so we could go see this , Fair Warning, tour . Still David Lee Roth singi8ng and still the big V H lights come down from the ceiling....great show and tune

Running With the Devil would be great! it was thei 1st song on the 1st album (that changed rock/guitar forever and revived hard rock at the end of the 70s). It was the 1st song many people ever heard from Van Halen. Awesome song.

Mean Street always fluctuates amongst my top three Van Halen songs along with Unchained and Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love. Depends on the day!!!

"Fair Warning " in my opinion is their best album. Raw& gritty!! It's the best from the Best!!VH \m/

Glad you guy reacted to this one!

this was outstanding when they played it live.

This was my first concert. Oakland, Ca. 1981. I was 12, blew my mind completely. Filmed and played on MTV too

Known as guitar players favorite album, this is the 4th release and when Ed started asserting control over the band, and serious tensions with Roth began.

Damn how is NOW the first time you're hearing Mean Streets? WOW!

One of their best from the David Lee Roth era.

After David Roth left Van Halen, he came back Years later & VH wrote "ME WISE MAGIC", you got to hear that one, Ed's guitar playing, is INSANE on that tune... do that one next please...

The video for this song is a must to watch and see the great Eddie rocking out and also plays the bass with Michael Anthony who is the bass player from the very beginning.

Love this song! It’s on my playlist.

I love singing this song. It's my second favorite. Ice cream man is my first favorite

check out "Take Your Whiskey Home" from Van Halen

Great riff. You can hear it in the last half of the eruption Solo

ANOTHER GREAT TUNE.THEY HAVE SO MANY GOOD SONGS WITH BOTH SINGERS.{M.G}orig,TORONTO, CANADA.

Finally one of the Van Halen Songs If All Time

"Their guitar work" lol one guy killing it

Man, there are so many great V.H. songs. My favorites are from the D.L.R. years, maybe because that was my early teens, and V.H. was very different than anything up until then. I'm The One, On Fire, Romeo Delight, Is This Love. it goes on and on. Most every song on the first four albums is a must hear. This album was written during some dark times for Edward.

This is my favorite VH song. Just so heavy and funky. Eddie was a monster. RIP

Love this song! There are so many awesome songs to listen to from VH. On Fire, Atomic Punk, Somebody Get Me A Doctor, Outta Love Again, Everybody Wants Some, Hang Em High, Little Guitars, etc

This song is so percussive, with its uptempo time signature. You can’t simply listen to it only once.

I want to throw a suggestion at you speaking of guitar work being second to none. I am not saying it's comparable, but "Mike Dawes - Jump" is one of the coolest Van Halen covers I've ever seen. He does the whole thing on fingerstyle guitar and makes that song into a pretty cool piece. I think ya'll would both enjoy it.

By far the best album from Van Halen. Check out Sinners Swing off fair warning great song great album.

My favorite Van Halen song

"Now you know this ain't no thru street, the end is dead ahead. The poor folks play for keeps down here, they're the living dead." They just don't write songs like this any more. Simply one of my favorite VH songs from what is easily my all time favorite VH album.

Great song!

This is a great album

Greatest Halen tune of all time, or Dirty Movies off the same album.

Top 5 VH song for me ... the vibe and tone is killer

I don't know what you have heard Jamie's cryin everybody wants some and the cradle will rock

This is my favorite album period! But there’s one song I’d love for you guys to react to and that is “ On Fire” off of Van Halen 1. The most underrated song in their arsenal. Nobody really ever mentions it but it’s hard,fast,it’s signature Van Halen sound and the greatest riff ever! Check it out.

This is def my favorite DLR song.

They were the days driving some of the baddest sport bikes in the country and jamming VH in the the earphones.

Dirty Movies off the same album is a banger….. you guys rock!

would LOVE LOVE LOVE for you guys to do some Sammy era stuff...it's a very interesting contrast (I LOVE both eras and would never be able to choose one over the other) but it would flex your analysis skills!!!!

I agree I'm The One should be next!👍🎶

This is my favorite song from the David Lee Roth era of the band. Eddie's riffs on this are a masterpiece.

The music Halen puts out is just pure energy, joy, bluesy sort of heaven. Now that I look to the next generation to find that raw energy I have a great band for you to catch - you'll want to be ready to go workout after hearing this song. Give Unleash the Archers- Awakening Full band playthrough a go. Have the fire extinguisher ready.

The Best, VH

Try "Why can't this be love" with Sammy Hagar Om vocals, awesome.

I always love watching female reactions to eddies playing. Something about his playing is very sexy to them. All I can say is that eddie had a very masculine sound when DLR was the singer.

wanted to make request. skid row wasted time. powerful vocals. great story. this will blow you away. keep up the great work

Great song - you may remember the intro riff from Eddie's live solo. Would love for you all to check out VH Live Without A Net ... Song: 5150 (that version) ... but you can't go wrong with most others!

Their talking about Pasadena California where they all grew up,Sam looking beautiful as ever Phil your my hero🍦

Check out the album Women and Children First Take Your Whiskey Home is so good!!

Killer groove yo

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Atomic Punk next in the VH lineup

You should do Amsterdam live

Right now with Sammy singing

If you haven't done it. Ice cream man. I guarantee you'll like and add it to your playlist.

Ah some nasty good guitar playing!!😊. Give me some VH anytime!❤❤

Another great cut off this album is “Unchained”…..but this entire album is great to me and a bit of a departure from their previous albums, in that it has a bit of a darker, more cynical tone to it…. And, I think, one of their best, musically, speaking.

Please react to some VH during the Sammy Hagar era. Very different but AMAZING ❤

Romeo Delight by VH. At their best!

"Romeo Delight" from their third album, Women And Children First, will melt your headphones. Sounds more like Metallica than Van Halen.
