Van Halen - Jump (eFamily Reaction!) 

My wife and I met in high school. She had a VH poster on her locker door. One day, I stopped to talk to her because we had that in common. The rest is history. We are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks. We met David Lee Roth in 1999 and told him how we met and that we named our firstborn, "David Lee". He said, "Stellar!" We chatted for about 10 minutes in a hotel lobby. There was no one else there but us, Dave, and his bodyguard/personal assistant. Dave was very kind and genuinely interested in our conversation. I've seen him in concert with Van Halen and solo about 8 times. Rock On!

Beautiful Girls and Mean Streets by Van Halen , ,they are two songs

Diamond Dave is the first ever Rock front-man martial artist. DLR has trained in the martial arts since the age of 12, that is why all those kicks and flexibility in "Jump" look so very technically clean. At Van Halen concerts back in the day, David Lee would do Wushu weapons exhibitions on stage during the actual band performance, Eddie, Alex and Michael would play music in the background.

You guys should check out 2 more songs with videos from the same album, 1984. “Panama” and “Hot for Teacher” are both awesome songs with fantastic videos that are really show off the fun that Van Halen brought to rock !! Van Halen music is the anthem of my youth and it always puts me in a great mood !! RIP to the ultimate guitar hero , Eddie Van Halen….

The late great Eddie Van Halen on guitar and keyboards!

Edward 'Eddie' Van Halen (guitar) was an exceptional talent who changed guitar playing forever when Van Halen debuted in 1978... His band set the stage for the 80's rock revival after the late 70's disco era... But by 1983, Eddie was experimenting more w/ keyboards and new synthesizer technology... 'Jump' was a track that he had written in 1981 on keyboard but Van Halen's original singer David Lee Roth hated it and refused to work on it... Roth wanted Van Halen to remain a guitar rock band. Finally, Eddie put his foot down; 'Jump' was going to be on the album '1984' and Roth was forced to write lyrics and sing it... It became Van Halen's only #1 hit single in the US and the '1984' album sold 10 million copies in America. However, that record was the last straw between Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth... In 1985, Eddie began working on music for a new Van Halen album that had more keyboards than past records... Roth became more interested in recording a solo EP 'Crazy from the heat' ... and plotting a movie w/ him as the star... As a result, Van Halen and David Lee Roth parted ways. Eddie Van Halen contacted singer Sammy Hagar about auditioning for Van Halen in 1985 and showed him the new music in his studio... Hagar heard some tracks and wrote lyrics and loved the songs that were coming out... Sammy Hagar signed on to replace David Lee Roth as the singer of Van Halen... his voice was much more powerful and the resulting album '5150' was released in 1986 and charted at #1 in the US.

Looking forward to Hot For Teacher. 😅

70’s 80’s great music😊.

This song ' Jump ' came out in 1984 and or Van Halens 6th album. How about going back to their 1st album which put them on the world stage with songs like ' Ain't talking bout love ' or Jamies crying ' Actually every song on that album is fire. But ya... take a listen at Edwards (Early) studio guitar tone. It dropped Jaws all over the world as a modern day Mozart was on the scene 🎸🎸😍😍 Enjoyed ur reaction 👍👍

If you like live performances, you should try Metallica--Master of puppets, the Québec Magnetic version. It's my favorite pick, because I was there in this crowd--even lost 2 teeth there, after being hit by someone by accident. The interaction with the crowd was amazing. Or for something different, Van Halen's hot for teacher--this one was made almost as a joke, so it's funny.

Check out hot for teacher another banger.🙏🙏
