Pretty much same. Born late Dec 68

That intro came about when Eddie Van Halen wondered what would happen if you did slap bass technique on guitar. He was a constant experimenter and was always trying new things on guitar. This song is also a great example of Eddie's prowess as a rythym player. It goes without saying he was a monster lead guitarist,but his rythym skills are often overlooked.

@spamfriedmice4800

5 ай бұрын

Yes, if you get down to it Eddie was really a music geek, happy experimenting with new things. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if he'd have ended up in some progressive rock band like Rush, Yes or ELP. Maybe I smoke too much weed😂.

I think what makes reaction videos so popular, especially on songs like this one, is people are able to relive hearing it for the first time through someone else. We've heard it dozens of times and love it, but can never have that first experience again, and let's face it, everyone we hang out with has already heard it, too. It's what makes it fun.

Van Halen has and always will be my favorite band. The more I listen, the more I love it. 45 years and still blows my mind how good they were.

This was Van Halen at their absolute peak. Having received their Fair Warning release when it first hit the shelves in 1981...when I dropped the needle on the first groove of that killer opener of " Mean Street ", I was hooked for life. This cut really defined my tough teen years. Well into my adult years. This was Eddie at his absolute finest. Before Dave sold out to himself.

Fair Warning was said to be a message to Dave that he was on the verge of being fired. Even if not true, this whole album plays as angry and raw. Eddie was on fire, Alex pounded the skins, Michael's harmony vocals are perfect, and DLR had serious soul and richness to his lead vocals.

The magic of EVH on full display. Shout out to Michael Anthony on this track for sure.

Been a =VH= fan since I was a kid. I'll be 54 in 2 days,, this is still my favorite Album and song!

My absolute favorite VH song. I was 12 years old when I first heard this in 1981. My sis bought the cassette on a vacation road trip to Montana. We were rockin' out! Seen them 5 times with Dave, 5 with Sammy. All killer! Check out Unchained, from the same album, and Top Jimmy from 1984 album. They rock!

When this album dropped it changed everything for me regarding music and storytelling. To this day some of the best concerts I've ever seen, even if I have absolutely lost a portion of my hearing from their excessive concerts in the 80's; if you know you know.

Hands down, the best Van Halen song.

Love this stuff so much, one thing VH always had is a really damned strong groove. You could pick a song at random and always find something interesting in it. Check out Runnin' With The Devil for a great all-rounder on their sound with the first singer (David Lee Roth) - They changed directions with Sammy Hagar and it's like a different but equally awesome band

The Album Cover is a collage of some images from a painting called The Maze from the 1950's (William Kurelek) It depicts his tortured youth. It's quite a disturbing painting. It's fun trying to pick out the bits in the painting that Van Halen used for the cover. It's not as easy as you'd imagine.

Favorite album by VH Favourite song as well

Im 52 now but back in the day this would be blasting out of the speakers of my 78 Trans Am, t-tops out, cruising the mean streets of Philly in the late 80s and early 90s. Brings back good memories. I was also jamming some Run DMC, LL Cool J, and NWA. I listened to it all. Still do. Check out Van Halen's Tattoo and Me Wise Magic. Great songs that Van Halen did with David Lee Roth on vocals later on after the Sammy Hagar years.

One of my favorite songs by VH. The whole album is good too. Good job dude. Rock on. Jam this in you car. REAL nice

Favorite album by them for me ! I was 16 when this came out and times were kicking ! Then saw them live for the next album and tour in '82 !

Haha, you’re hooked! Welcome to the club, saw them in 1981 with this album. Unchained live 81 Oakland , gotta check them out live ✌️

This is why I love reaction videos. Home run. It’s fun seeing someone react to each part. I knew this would get him hype. Good 1

This was the album Edward said he released a lot of pent-up, pissed off energy on. Saw them live in' 81, on this tour. First thing that caught my eye when the lights went up, was the massive mountain of P.A. speakers right in the middle of a busy city street backdrop. Edward was primed from the start, wasnt even wearing a shirt when he hit the stage. Mind blowing show.❤️

Listen when says Lord Strike That Poor Boy Down, and Eddie makes his guitar sound like a lightning bolt!!!! Awesome!

Crunchiest hardest intro ever imo. No one sounds like EVH! One of the GOATs

Classic Kick-Ass Van Halen. I was in high school when I first heard this album. I believe I owned the vinyl LP. Every song is great on this record during their darkest effort. Ed was getting married, the beginning of a power struggle, drugs, alcohol issues etc. Read the book, Running with the Devil. Eye opening if you're a DLR-era VH fan.

So glad to see people recognizing the funkiness of this tune. One of my fave VH tunes of all time.

I was 12 years old, we built a quarter pipe, for skateboarding, it went to vertical, we were having fun, trying to get to the top. A local newspaper reporter came by. I was delivering papers, I was on the front. We were inspired by this album, back when you had albums. 1978.

Thank you, young man, for the memories. Remember the first time hearing this riding around in my friends Mustang. This was way back in 1981. It never gets old. Van Halens 'best" album! 👍

I grew up with this music, it's AWESOME to wtch MUCH younger people enjoy this as much as us OG's do!!!

This is my favorite VH tune of all time!! I was in high school when this came out!!

Yeah I was a teenager in the early 80’s when I first heard it on the radio, then all the kids walking to school with their boomboxes. 40+years later, it’s still great. There will only be one Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen R.I.P.

that huge-ass smile you had was what van halen is all about \m/

Some of eddie’s outro’s had some of his funkiest riffs too, gotta listen till the end on every track.

This was originally called Voodoo Queen from their club days before they were famous.

I was driving to the Jersey shore. Long Beach Island on the Garden State Parkway. Just bought the cassette and my buddy popped it in as soon as we hit the Parkway. I had to remember I was driving. Banging my head lol. Great times

I've been bumpin "Mean Street" in my ride since the 80's. All time CLASSIC groove

Really glad you liked it,keep on rockin!!!!!

Great reaction, my absolute favorite Van Halen jam.

So good to see a brother enjoying some prime VH the way I do man. This song is gritty, funky, and mean. Tickle my ears.

David Lee Roth IS a Black artist. You could tell that from Runnin With The Devil. By the time Fair Warning came out, he was honorary in my house.😁

You put a smile on my face when you heard the main riff!!! You could tell you were into it!!😂😂😂

You've just taken your first step into a larger world. Welcome.

Watching your video just gave me an epiphany as to why I like reaction videos so much. First of all, VH was my very first fav band as a kid in the 80s. And in that era one of my favorite things to do was to listen to music with my friends And I can remember the day I heard this song, where I was, who I was with and how we felt about it. It was almost as if you were a part of our crew (picture The Stranger Things kids 😂) but this is an activity adults don’t really do anymore and I think I crave it and it’s an itch that is ever so slightly fulfilled hanging out with you and listening to these songs for the time again. Thank you my friend! ✌️ 🙏🏼

i remember the day i heard this, having brought it home from the record store. I purchased it with Billy Squier, Don't Say No . Another amazing full on classic record. You should take a listen to something off of that as well. Every VH record for a while, had some groundbreaking guitar work on it. Glad you enjoyed this and discovered the amazing VH.

My favorite Van Halen album. It ROCKS!!! 🤘😠

This is my favorite VH song with Dave.

I'm 55 but back in 1981 when this came out, our whole neighborhood went to the local department store and misappropriated an 8-Track of Fair Warning, the new album from our favorite band Van Halen. The 30 minute walk home along rail road tracks was awesome, as we took turns checking out the album cover. That 8 track blared on an old player we kept stacked with batteries all summer at the playground. Not one bad song and arguably the best guitar rock album ever. It made us tough in the Mean Streets of Carbondale Pennsylvania. Great times until Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth on vocals and their sound went top 40 rock

Great reaction! Reminds me of when I first played this album to a friend back in about 1981 or 1982. Dude couldn't believe it. So funky, so much swagger.

The greatest hard rock band of them all. The greatest rock guitar player of them ALL!! Long live the king!! Eddie Van Halen!!

It only Rock and Roll but I like it🎶🎵💯

Van Halen's best album, so of course, the one that sold the least and panned by lots of critics.Eddie Van Halen at his best, wrote and performed most of this album in seclusion and cocaine crazy, arranged ,recorded and mastered by genius's, so wonderfully balanced. I love how short(sort of) this song is, give you a taste and wanting more.

This album came out 78 / 79 . 2015 is when they remastered it . Just cleaned up the back ground . It's a generational Anthem 💯❤️‍🔥⚡😎

Glad you jammed. Van Halen! I grew up on this.

Being a guitar player Eddie was a big influence. Alex ,the drummer I thought, never got the recognition he should. He complimented Eddie’s guitar style so much. I don’t think a lot of their songs would have been as good if it wasn’t for Alex.

Best album , long live Eddie Van Halen, thanks for the reaction

Listened to this album for hours! Back in the day!!

When I was in junior high school, I won a talent contest doing Eddie VH air guitar on a tennis racket...lol They were my favorite band by far, and I would draw their logo on everything. It's been a while since I heard Mean Street, and it just gave me goosebumps hearing it here. No question, Fair Warning is my favorite album and, in my opinion, their best work and sound. They made Rock and Roll fun. Never anything like VH before or since. Rock On 😎

Fair Warning came out in 1981 remastered 2015. Agree awesome outtro on Mean Street. 💀

Bro, you made my day! That's the reaction we all had back in the day.

This album is a definite go to.

As much attention as Edward was given for his guitar work, he always always always turned the spotlight away, and praised his big brother, Alex, for his work behind the drum kit. Reverend Al had his favorite drummers, and now he's one of your favorite drummer's favorite drummers. He had a way of sounding like he was playing fast and loose, which he had to do in order to keep Ed's guitar tethered to the Earth or it might wander off into the cosmos and they'd never finish a song. The brothers played with an uncanny connection, able to embellish each others' musical phrasings as though Al was playing the guitar part on the drums and Ed was playing drum parts on the guitar. The more you listen, the more you'll hear and appreciate that aspect of the band. Every member of the band was overloaded with talent, effectively making it a Supergroup. Enjoying your reactions to Van Halen, the GOAT of Rock bands.

EVH & AVH absolutely locked in. 🔥

Looooving your Fair Warning reactions. I've binged them tonight and subscribed. Love your enthusiasm for the mighty VH. You grasp right away what truly set them apart from their "peers". Even nearly half a century later, they're still crazy fresh and ahead of their time. I've seldom actually encountered people who really get their genius the way you've captured it.

First album i ever bought, 40 years ago, still astonishes me.

Listened to it like 1980 I was 13 good god this whole album changed my life. I grew up around all soul music I grew up in Oakland till I was 11, moved up north and the kids were into heavy metal and wow is all I can always say about this whole album. You will get a ton of views if you keep going thru this album. It’s a special thing hearing it for the first time and to see someone witness it for the first time is so cool. 🙏👍🍺🍺

That’s a great Van Halen song to start with.

Mugs We have to give thanks to Gene Simmons (Demon from KISS) recommended Mammoth (original name for Van Halen) a record deal with Warner Bros. Band realize that Mammoth was already registered from another band. So, original frontman, David Lee Roth suggested Eddie and Alex use their last name as their band, Van Halen. They had iconic engineer named Ted Templeman work on their albums. They recorded albums with DLR to last album, 1984. During 1984, there were issues between DLR and Eddie. Eddie wanted go different direction in his music while DLR wanted guitar-based music. DLR left the band in 1985 for his solo music. Knowing DLR not returning, Eddie gotten veteran frontman, Sammy Hagar to continue their music, nicknamed, "Van Hagar". Then Sammy left the band for his solo stuff as he did prior to joining VH. Both DLR and Sammy reunited with VH on few occasions. Then DLR rejoined VH and Eddie had his only child, Wolfgang on Bass leaving out Michael Anthony) Both Sammy and Michael were not happy, but Eddie stated that he wanted his son in the band playing together. VH recorded last album in 2012. No one except Van Halen family knew Eddie was dealing with cancer. He fought his illness until 2020; Eddie died from cancer.

This reminds me of Southeast San Diego, skyline park, Lincoln Park, lomita village, Logan heights them cats are crazy, I used to catch the buss at the four corners of death, right in the middle of hand land, four diffent hoods, that’s this song!!!
