David Lee Roth is a martial artist. Thats why he was perfect for 80's very "physical" rock performances.

Just 3 days ago it was 40 YEARS AGO "Jump" hits #1 in the US where it would stay for 5 weeks. Their first and only #1 with 💎Dave. He would leave the band a year later on April Fool's Day

I was in HS when this came out. Man, I am old. 😂

David Lee Roth is a martial artist, I believe he has a black belt That is why he is so limber

Such a fun and iconic 80s song. Everything about this song screams 80s!

David Lee Roth is a martial artist. Been training Kenjutsu since he was 12, also trained in Kempo and Brazilian Jiujutsu. That might explain his limberness 😆🤘 He is also nicknamed Diamond Dave 😅

He's a gymnast and a black belt. He is a very "over the top" performer. He was never a "musician" but he was one helluva performer.

Love it, just amazed how much has happened since this song and of those who are no longer with us.

Dave was serious in karate, etc. he also loved rock climbing which requires dexterity and amazing hand and leg strength.

I've enjoyed several of your reactions to serious and deep, emotional songs. It's nice to see you having fun with this one. You two are so sweet with each other. The world needs more of what you have.

Jump was a huge #1 Song! Loved Van Halen with David Lee Roth. He was a great front man!❤❤

when they used to play this at the rollerskating rink, wed all jump when they said jump

Crazy song makes ya want to dance. Love this.

Gots to do wooly bully. I’m fro Lexington ky. I’m trying to support a song for our 2024 football season. Sam the sham wooly bully. Keats dance. We big on college sports here. Wanna do great come to Lexington ky football.

I was surprised to find out that David Lee Roth was a paramedic in NYC for a while after he left Van Halen, fascinating, multi faceted guy.

Van Halen videos were such low-budget goodness.

Van halen runnin Ning with the devil is my favorite

And they continued to make great music with Sammy Hagar on lead vocals as well, such as "When it's Love" and "Dreams."

Released in late 1983 on there album 1984. Remember it well was there played on the radio all the time. Dark yet exciting memories

Van Halen, Van Halen 2, Diver Down, Women and Children First all great upbeat albums, just fun, no swearing, no hate just fun music!

FAIR WARNING ⚠️😜

As stated by a few ppl, David Lee Roth is a master in martial arts, but not just one or two...several disciplines. As well as being EMT trained.

FOUR KEYS TO THE VAN HALEN SOUND: DIAMOND DAVE’S SCREECHING WITH WHOOPS AND HOLLERS 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. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER EDWARD VAN HALEN!!! RIP EDDIE My favorite Van Halen tour shirt is from this tour-Fair Warning. The band on the front with Worldwide Tour on top and 81 with a circle ⭕️ around it on the bottom and world tour 81 on the back with the VH LOGO and Van Halen written in the logo! My second favorite Van Halen tour shirt after Fair Warning in 81. Band on the front World Vacation Tour 79 on the back.

By the way: Singer David Lee Roth was 5th degree Black Belt 🥋 in Karate!

🇬🇧 O. M. F. G ! Not heard that song for ages. It's soooooo good. I loved both your reactions to it. ❤🎶

I once read there was a conspiracy theory about this song.....the theory was the chord sequences on the synth were linked to sound frequencies that when heard released chemicals in the brain which calmed or relaxed the listener. It then went on to say the tune was penned by the government and played extensively during the summer months to stiffle civil unrest or riots..........sounds silly to me but it it IS STILL played a lot during summer months. 😮It could also be a return to the Close Encounters movies😂 Getting back to reality,what a great song and as usual a great reaction. 👍

Music freaks , they do it all.

The Summit of Fame! Staring down all the pretenders to the throne!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont go the th ER guys trying this at home! lol

I love Eddie Van Halen's yellow zebra blazer. Zebra was really in style back then. I had it in a pink and black stripe long t-shirt.

So happy😅

DLR the showman playing rock star. Robert Plant….seems to just come naturally. I have heard that Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas was DLR’s inspiration.

The lead singer is an accomplished martial artist and has multiple belts in the type of martial arts that he had taken. That is why he is so limber.

Nice reaction to very catchy song

Love Eddie's relaxed presence on stage, what a performer!

Diamond David Lee Roth! Love him , hate him...but one of the all time great Front men in Rock History!

So liebevoll, respektvoll und Mit ehrlicher Hingabe. Danke. Bin 75 geboren und love of my life. LG

Hi Andrei & Dominika, I used to dance like crazy to Van Halen’s ‘Jump’, and it’s still on my favourite Dance Playlist . Actually I’m here with a performance you might not have seen, as a mega mega fan of MK & his Bands, I just saw it for the first time last week. It’s a Mark/Dire Straits & Eric Clapton lineup performing an MK written song. Check out: Dire Straits & Eric Clapton - ‘Think I love you too Much’ (Knebworth Festival, 1990). I love it sooo much, & MK & EC are sooo cool together, especially in this video wearing those Armani suits! Hope you are able to give it one of your adorable reactions. I❤MK

EPIC YEAR. 1984.... Van Halen Album 1984 released..this song was #1 in the U.S. billboard charts... And American Top 40 with Casey Casem....I got 3 Gold Medals my first Track Meet. I broke both my 7th and 8th grade school High JUMP Records. And Broke our league High JUMP Record....It Was 1984....JUMP..... Now do Pointer Sisters song JUMP......OH YEA....!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! GREAT PICK, YOU-GUYS!!! ENJOY!! They were SO GOOD: LIVE!!!

I never seem to get tired of this perfect song

Back when rock was fun! 😎😎😎😎

You're right. He is a showman. I have seen him live and it is like that and his solo career also demonstrated it. Be careful, Van Halen has a normally light rock but they are good musicians. For example, its guitarist is considered by many to be one of the greats.

Love you two 👍

The wonderful 80s

I'd like to share this experience with you.I was at the Roxy, a club in Hollywood, CA. to see one of my favorite English punk band. It was Dec 5th 1979. After the show people were filing out to the front exit and I heard people saying "Van Halen sucks, you guys stink" and other expletives. As I followed the people towards the front door, the floor made a right turn towards the exit. I looked to my right and there, sitting in a curved booth, was David Lee Roth. Sitting on each side of him were super hot chicks. With his right hand held it out to the girl on his right and made a V with his fingers. She stuck a cigarette between the fingers. He then moved his hand to the left and that lady lit it. The whole time he was looking at us passing by. A true rock star moment. I was 27 at the time.

Wow! That is a cool story 😎

going back 40 years in the past for me--thanks to you to bring me back there. If you want something fun from Van Halen, try Hot for teacher--you'll laugh a lot. About his atheticism, I know he used to do some kind of martial arts, but I can't remember what exactly, someone else will step in for the details. Have a nice day.

DLR is also a rock climber! Check out his music video “Just like Paradise”.

Have you seen the BardoMagno "spoof" of Van Halen, the song is called "Nel mio feudo" and reminds me so much of VH, even the BM-logo in that video. :D If you haven't seen it yet, please look at it, it is so funny! There are English subtitles.

Oh, Eddie.....♥

Saw VH live once when they toured their very first album. They opened for ZZ Top and that was the last time they opened for anyone. Went straight to the top and tickets for any future shows were almost impossible to get. Love Van Halen and Van Hagar. Both versions were equally impressive.

If you like VH, I highly recommend checking out their early 90s stuff with Sammy Hagar. The video for the song 'Poundcake' is....interesting. :)

Aztec Camera put a unique spin on this song, and it's definitely worth checking out. Hopefully, you'll have the chance to listen to more of their music. 'How Men Are' is a real gem.

70s Van Halen the best like Running with the Devil

One my favorite bands/song and when Sammy Hagar joined the band later.

I love the song and it’s very nostalgic but I wish I knew what it was about.I’ve seen a couple of things that inspired it but I don’t know what is true

Ein Klassiker und danke. Bussi! Abo raus. From Germany, Munic.

Time for you to start at the beginning with VH. Atomic Punk, On Fire, I'm the one, Light Up the Sky, Outta Love etc. But, you will love Dance the Night Away! It captures the feeling of youth and just enjoying life.

Lots of VH fans hated this song at first because they felt Van Halen shouldn't use a synthesizer. They "sold out" Lol

Take note, Eddie Van Halen plays the guitar and the keyboard solos

david lee roth one of the best front man in rock n roll

You guys need to watch the movie “Dazed and Confused”, it is one of the greatest coming of age movies ever! It is such an honest insight to being a teenager in the 70’s! You’ll love it! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh yeah…the music is GREAT!

Drum kit, largest in the world.

❤😊

This is my favorite Van Halen song

Mean Street!!

Great song to dance to. Hey for you two , want to have fun go back to a song called wooly bully. From Indonesia. Great band. fUN.

He studied Northern Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Wushu.

He has training martial arts

Their last good album was 1984. It was a banger for sure

What about 5150 and OU812? They came after 1984 and were brilliant as well

Eddie Eruption solo is a must. RIP King Edward 🙏

He’s smoke and mirrors! He ain’t the best! I rank him about 10th!

Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row. 🤘🇺🇸

I am begging you to PLEASE go and watch Eddie Van Halen's "ERUPTION" guitar solo from their without a net tour. Make sure that you watch that video and not any of the other ones.

I appreciate reacting to Roger waters “miracle” live version from in the flesh concert

While this is Van Halen's pop opus, it is ultimately their undoing. They went from hard metal to pop metal. They lost some cred with the keyboard thing. "What's a keyboard?"

Lets hear some of The Warnings new song S!CK!

The height of 80’s cheese.

van halen e global

To be truly amazed, you really have to watch "Eruption". Eddie shows why he is the greatest guitar player ever!

For 80's music, you need to listen to some more Thrash metal. You have listened to Metallica's "One". Now you need to listen to Megadeth, one of the other "Big 4" of Thrash meal. Let me suggest two earlier Megadeth songs. First, "Wake Up Dead." You can watch either the official video or the album cut. The second song is "In My Darkest Hour". Do not watch the official video as some of the song was edited for time. The music was written after a friend of Dave Mustaine, the founder, singer and guitarist of the band, found out about the death of good friend Cliff Burton, bassist for Metallica. The lyrics are about an ex-girlfriend of Dave's. Both of these songs are about the same girl, just written at different points in their relationship.

David Lee Roth was the king of all frontmen. And there is a reason Van Halen have sold 34 million albums with Roth as compared to 18 million with Sammy Hagar, because they were superior with Roth at the helm. In addition, the 2007 reunion with Roth dwarfed the 2004 reunion with Hagar in everyway possible including: average tickets sold per night, total tickets sold for the tour, and gross revenue. It wasn't even close, the reunion with David Lee Roth blew the reunion with Hagar away business wise. This is the real Van Halen. The original. Van Halen's legacy as a band will always lie with David Lee Roth. Anyone who claims otherwise is either naive, stupid, or lying.

Jump everybody 😂

Maybe today's psychotic fixation upon transgenderism has affected my perception , or maybe it is just growing older and becoming more aware of things , but I see so much more feminine or androgynous sexuality in Roth's performance now than I did at the time .

After the first album, this track came across as a total sell out to commercial pop. We all hated it and what it represented.
