David Lee Roth is great. The best thing about him is that he might be the most confident person who has ever lived. He truly believes that he is the greatest entertainer, greatest front man, and the sexiest human that has ever lived. Even when people criticize him he has the biggest smile on his face and does not care. He is a showman

Edward passed awsy 2 octobets ago. Alex is the drummer. Interestingly, when kids, alex played the guitar and ed was drumming. Afterwards Ed became perhaps the greatist guitar virtuoso ever and Alex a really good percussionist.

Ed was by far the best experimenter in guitar, you watch some of his interviews later in life, he didn't have a clue what he was doing screwing around in amps and other electronics to create sound. such a cool youtube rabbit hole to get into.

RIP Eddie. You inspired so many in my generation to pick up a guitar and go for it. Imitated but never duplicated. We'll miss you.

80's was a party and Van Halen were some of the biggest bada$$es out there. Loved it.

Born: January 26, 1955, Amsterdam, Netherlands Died: October 6, 2020, Providence Saint John's Health Center - Santa Monica Emergency Room, Santa Monica, California, United States. RIP Eddie Van Halen.

Arguably one of the top five best frontmen of all time. David Lee Roth had charisma to burn for days. Every show was a banger when he was on stage. RIP Eddie. You're sitting at the table of the Rock Gods now.

Notice that's the same shirt Eddie had on as in Michael Jackson's live "Beat It" video! 1984 - same year and tour as both The Jackson's"Victory" Tour and VH's "1984" one. The Jackson's were in Dallas/Irving (Texas Stadium/Cowboys) the night before I saw VH at Reunion Arena. All of VH attended the Jackson's show; DLR was seen walking along the floor with Emmanuel Lewis and Alex VH and Michael Anthony were seen scattered around different parts of the floor. Of course, Eddie joined Michael on the stage for the solo in the hit song "Beat It"!

Yay 50 million views 👏 congrats Van much love my friend 🧡🧡💯🔥🤜🏼💯🤛🏼

Sadly Van, it was Eddie we lost in October of 20. 🥺 This is up there for me. I just love the jam gets me going everytime!! 🥳 Fortunate to have seen these guys in 79 with Diamond Dave and years later with Sammy Hagar at front. Adore VH!! ❤👍🏽

Now you gotta watch Hot For Teacher!!! Great song, great vid!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I feel so sad for those who never attended a VH live show. Life changing energy level. Every member of that band was the best at what they did.

I was 15 yrs old and we cut school to see Van Halen arrive at the Plaza Hotel in New Haven, CT the day of thier concert and met David Lee Roth he said hey there sweetheart and my inner fan girl was screaming but I was totally speechless and the concert was killer and even better a few yrs later saw them with Sammy Hagar, that concert was taped for Showtime!

If i remever right the story behind this song is that a fan or critic of Van Halen challenged him to write a song about something more than wpmen and sex..nthe guy said write something about a car.. Eddie then said hold my beer and wrote Panama but to be cheeky he made it a love song to his car

"I'm not gonna stop it again, I promise." Five pauses later.... lol

It was indeed a jock strap! David Lee Roth would have a certain outfit for a tour, and he'd have them in a few different colors. He's worn buttless chaps, and the jocks were just one more cheeky addition to his stage wear. Everything was always tongue in cheek, and meant to give everyone a good laugh. They were my first concert in July, 1981, and it was a lot of fun!

Van Halen wow they ruled the world for a feed yrs definitely straight up rock stars can't think of another band that was more I don't know they were just like rock stars from another world.

DLR era Van Halen 78-84 and those 6 albums were the soundtrack of my youth…born in 1970!

When Van Halen would come to town it was like New Years Eve, the Daytona 500, and the 4th of July all at the same time.

I was lucky to see them 7 times live 1 of the greats

That’s Eddie’s car revving during the slow part of the song. His Ferrari, if I’m not mistaken. R.I.P. to the great Edward Van Halen.

Yes 👏 this my childhood

Van Halen always had a hood sense of humor lol👍🙃

Yes, Edward Van Halen on guitar (and keyboards)... he passed away in 2020 from cancer (R.I.P. 😪) His brother Alex Van Halen on drums, Michael Anthony on bass and David Lee Roth was the acrobatic original singer of Van Halen. Van Halen conquered radio in the late 70's, then became stars on MTV in the 80's to 90's. Eddie & Alex Van Halen started playing in a band together as teens in high school in Pasadena, California... David Lee Roth (vocals) joined around 1973, despite not being the best singer... but had his own P.A. and rehearsal space. Roth recognized Eddie Van Halen's talent on guitar and named the band Van Halen as a marquee name to attract people to their shows to see Eddie perform on guitar. Michael Anthony (bass) joined in 1974. Gene Simmons of Kiss saw Van Halen play live at an L.A. club in 1976 and recorded their demos... Van Halen was finally signed by 1977. The first Van Halen album in 1978 established Eddie Van Halen as a guitar hero and sold 10 million copies in the US... Van Halen recorded 6 studio albums w/ David Lee Roth on vocals. This album '1984' was the last to feature Roth, despite selling another 10 million copies. 'Diamond' David Lee Roth split w/ Van Halen for a solo career in 1985... Van Halen recruited solo singer Sammy Hagar in 1986 and their next album '5150' sold 6 million copies in the US, debuting at #1 on the US charts. Eddie Van Halen also explored more keyboard-oriented sounds in this era... Van Halen released 4 studio albums w/ Hagar on vocals before a conflict between the singer and Eddie Van Halen led to a split in 1996. Van Halen recorded 1 album w/ singer Gary Cherone in 1998, but it was a commercial disappointment... The last 2 decades for Van Halen were not as productive, sadly... Eddie Van Halen was diagnosed w/ cancer around 2000... 2 attempts to reunite the band w/ original vocalist David Lee Roth failed by 2002. Sammy Hagar returned to Van Halen for a 2004 tour, but Eddie's drug & alcohol abuse was so destructive that year to his skills onstage, that both Hagar and bassist Michael Anthony departed Van Halen late that year. After a long rehab stint, Eddie Van Halen was healthy enough for Van Halen to finally announce a reunion tour w/ David Lee Roth on vocals in 2007... bassist Michael Anthony was replaced by Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen on bass... A new Van Halen record 'A different kind of truth' was released in 2012, but did not meet the success of past albums. Sammy Hagar & bassist Michael Anthony have recorded & toured together since then. Van Halen's last tour of the US was in 2015. Rumors of Eddie Van Halen's deteriorating health and cancer returning, circulated in the final years before his death in 2020... His legacy was his Van Halen records and contributions that revolutionized guitar playing in 1978 and beyond. Despite his guitar skills becoming somewhat corroded by substance abuse in the last 2 decades of his life, Edward Van Halen will always be an iconic rock guitarist and composer.

It will be stuck in your head. ❤️🔥

I think you were thinking of pirouette. My daughter was in ballet and dance for years. She ironically even did a solo routine to “Dance the Night Away” It was really cool

He was doin the NEMO MOVE 🐠

David Lee Roth was a character, and alot of fun to watch!

Was he flyin or swimmin....?? Yes he was. Diamond Dave bein Diamond Dave

Even got "The People" to clap along. Worthy Track

Eddie, on guitar, died. Van Halen was a great show to attend Live. I saw them in '82 in Mississippi...and again in '83 at the US Festival in San Bernardino CA. Nearly two hours of a good time when they hit the stage.

I saw van halen in concert and they were amazing! david lee roth was great but eddie van halen was beyond fabulous!!

Welcome to the 80s where everything was over the the top…. Where spandex was king and aqua net was queen. Early Van Halen just a showcase of talent and excess.. sit back and enjoy the ride

Van Halen was a band that besides the guitarist was a Genius, they wanted to have fun and mock about the "seriousness " of punk rock and other rock bands of the time. JUST FUN ! ( with good musicians) 😌👍👍👍

@@Montweezy, yeah the guitar "talk box" has been used many times throughout the years. Aerosmith, "Sweet Emotion"; Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Bon Jovi, Jeff Beck, Guns and Roses, Alice in Chains, Metallica, and many more have all used it in songs. It was fun when bands started using it in the 80s, after not hearing it for a few years. Heard it a lot in the mid 70s. 🤘

The story behind this particular song is Van Halen got a huge buzz from the crowd during an AC/DC concert and wanted a song that gave them the same feeling. So they wrote Panama. I don't know if the story is true though.

😃 I always loved Van Halen, I wrote a book report in middle school on Van Halen in 1978 and received and A on my report I loved David Lee Roth (Rothchild) Davids parents did something at Indiana University Bloomington, one of them my have been a Professor he was from my hometown in Bloomington, Indiana. I also loved Alex Van Halen I also really liked Eddie Van Halen and his guitar playing wonderful brothers from the Neitherlands where I have some of my ancestry on both sides of my family. I had to adjust to David leaving the band and Sammy Hager being the front man but it didn't take long I love Sammy as well soon after Sammy became the frontman for Van Halen they started being called Van Hager !!! Two Great singers with lots of Karisma fantastic stage presents. I loved Van Halen with all the original members and I equally loved Sammy - Van Halen (Hager) !!! Please check out more Van Halen and Please check out - Amsterdam/the naughty video version it's funny and a all around cool video, Alex Van Halen was born in Amsterdam, Eddie was born in another town close by. I know you'll love there videos and live show videos. Peace Out !!!

I also wanted to say that Eddie Van Halen was fabulous and I loved him very much as well it made me very sad when the news anounced that Eddie had passed and his was and still is missed by millions of fans around the world and he had at least one son with his ex-wife Valerie Bertinelli and their son is Wolfgang Van Halen. They may have had other children but, I just remember Wolfgang Van Halen because he was their first and maybe their only child I don't really know.
