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!

Thanks for listening!
