Roth began a long hiatus from the band the following year, but "Jump" nevertheless kicked off a period of massive crossover success for Van Halen that continued until the mid-'90s with successor Sammy Hagar. This is the lead single from an album Van Halen dropped in 1984 which itself is entitled 1984. 25, 1984, and staying there until the week of March 24, when it fell to Kenny Loggins' "Footloose." One of three Top 40 hits from the album, it helped 1984 become Van Halen's most successful album to that point. Whatever the song's origins – and however people chose to interpret it – "Jump" was a raging success for Van Halen, taking the top spot on the pop charts from Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon" during the week of Feb. "It's easy to translate it the way you hear it on the record as a 'go for it' attitude, positive sort of affair – an I-jog-therefore-I-am approach." "So, I wrote it down and ultimately it made in onto the record, although in a much more positive vein," Roth added. "I doubt if it sounded exactly the way it does this year two years ago when Edward played it for us, because I can't imagine us passing it up."Īccording to Roth, "'Jump' is a song that we wrote for several different reasons, primarily because it is leap year and secondly, because I was watching television one night and it was the 5 o'clock news, and there was a fellow standing on top of the Arco Towers in Los Angeles and he was about to check out early, he was going to do the 33-story drop – and there was a whole crowd of people in the parking lot downstairs yelling 'Don't jump, don't jump' and I thought to myself, 'Jump.' "Well, there are always bits and pieces of music that go flying by, you can never tell exactly what form it was in two years ago," he argued. Roth disputed Van Halen's version of events in a separate interview. You know, everything I touch blows up – the way I like sound is on the verge of dying." "Not the way it's on record, but musically, note for note, exactly the same," he said, adding that the song was written on a "Prophet 10 synth that blew up on me. Van Halen said he wrote the song "during or before" the sessions for 1981's Fair Warning album, when asked about its origins of 'Jump' in 1984 interview. Roth's footage actually ended up going into the "Panama" video, but the incident highlighted one more disagreement in the history of a song that Van Halen later claimed sat around for years because other members of the group – particularly Roth – didn't want to record it. Here's your check, never want to see you again.' That video won the award for best performance video at the first VMAs, and I still don't have my award." Noel Monk, their manager, said, 'You don't do that.
the video isn't gonna have the impact it should have.'" He says they backed him up, but Lombard still ended up paying the price: "Two days later, I got fired. "I said, 'Guys, I'm taking a stand here," Lombard recalled later. They gave in but their misgivings remained, and according to Lombard, the duo eventually approached other members of Van Halen to plead their case. Lombard and Angelus wanted to put together a clip that Angelus described as "something very personal." As he put it, "Let's see if we can get Edward to smile." But Roth insisted they film footage of him engaged in stereotypical rock-star pursuits, like driving sports cars and hanging out with gorgeous women. You say you don't know, you won't know until we begin.Producer Robert Lombard, who supervised the shoot with director Pete Angelus, said the video exposed tensions that soon came to a head between Roth and the other members of the band.
