    What Makes This Song Great? Jump

    Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

    I liked the YouTube comment on this video 'As a 43-year-old man, I was pretty sure I never needed to hear this song again. You proved me wrong.'

    In the 80s/90s I must have seen a dozen bar and wedding bands do shitty versions of Jump. The keyboard player would think well I can do the riff and solo, the guitarist would think well I can make an (usually mediocre) effort at that guitar solo it's a #1 pop song how difficult can it be?

    I would wait for the first prechorus and their inevitable fail and smile.

    Nowadays with the interweb and YouTube it's a bit easier to learn how this song is much more complex than it first appears so standards are a bit higher.

      If I remember correctly, Roth hated that song. But it made him a boat load of money. So he still ends gigs with Jump.
