I am a big fan of classic Van Halen. However this song didn't get me too excited. I still like EVH's guitar tone. I don't like EVH as a back up singer to Roth, though. The pre-chorus is cheesy, IMO. thoughts?

 

[Duane]

Not a huge fan of the song.

 

[Khartun]

That does not make me excited at all.

I can't get the page to load right now. It half loads and then just sits there.

It's not a great Van Halen song but it kind of grows on you after you listen to it a few minutes.

Here is a song they did at the cafe wha? show that people say is going to be on the new cd.

Problem is it seems like it is an OLD song from their demo and the original sounds pretty cool.

Someone asked Hagar about it and he said he heard the new CD and a good number of songs are old songs that were done before he was in Van Halen.

Here is the demo version of the above, sounds pretty good to me...

I like the 1978 demo cut. Sounds like it could have been on the VH2 album.

Yes it sounds pretty good.

Also heard that the song Tattoo is just a remake and rename of one of their old songs that got cut.

Wasnt all that impressed at first but after several listens it kinda grows on you. From all the early reports ive heard about the new album it should be pretty good.

That song sucks and Roth looks like an idiot the way he's dancing around in that video.

The video is playing backwards - makes it all look awkward.

Wow, that is terrible.

I didn't watch the one posted here...my wife played it for me off Van Halen's Website.

I wonder if they are the same one?

Either way it sucks.

Lyrics were never a strength for them.

I still enjoy hearing Eddie Van Halen play, even if it isn't on a great song.

The only new song I've heard is Tattoo and it was HORRIBLE. Sounded like some bad local band that was out of touch with what year it was. Song was kinda embarrassing.

 

[bbgun]

Not bad. Starts slow, but hits its stride halfway through. Just nice to see them together again (save for Michael Anthony).

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Definitely not on par with the constant reinventing that Aerosmith has done over the past couple of decades.



Cover band sound.


No M.A.

Meh...
