On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we’re diving into an awesome moment every VH fan needs to see. Greg Bissonette — known to fans for his work with David Lee Roth — takes on one of Alex Van Halen’s most legendary drum performances: Unchained.
In a killer new clip from Drumeo, Bissonette breaks down the groove behind this Fair Warning classic—locking into the feel that gave Van Halen their heavier, more rhythmic edge in the early ’80s. Released in 1981, “Unchained” isn’t about flash—it’s all about groove, attitude, and that unmistakable swing.
With a résumé that includes Ringo Starr and countless legendary sessions, Bissonette brings serious respect—and his own personality—to this iconic track.
We’re talking all about it right here on Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV. Don’t miss this one.
