1984 - Van Halen: Episode 201

We've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad... We're hot for Van Halen! Their sixth studio album 1984 (their final with David Lee Roth) took the band in a bold new direction that blended their signature glam rock edge with sleek synthesizers to produce all-time hits like Panama, I'll Wait, and of course the iconic Jump! We explore Eddie Van Halen's revolutionary guitar skills, find a sneaky music video urine stain, and even dabble in the post-1984 Sammy Hagar years. The Mixtaper is drilling James in another round of Fact Or Spin with facts about fishy tour managers, certified EMTs, and a good ol' guitar string feast! Go ahead and Jump headfirst into the 200s with us!
