metaltrekman Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Van Halen - Tattoo Hell Yes!!! Its about damn time. I like it. And I hope that this IS an indication of what the rest of the CD is. I was really getting tired of all the bull & rumors and delays. Getting very tired of waiting for the next NEW Van Halen. And Im sure Im not the only one who was about ready to say screw them. Im glad I didnt give up completely. Now I cant wait to hear more!! \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsane Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Phew. That was a lot better than what I was fearing it could have been. And agree if that is an indication of what the other songs will be like it should be a good record! Yeah! Thanks for the share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiplash1972 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I like the song just fine, just wish it had a little more "oomph" to it. I'm surprised they went with Tattoo as the first single over "She's The Woman", which sounds more like "traditional" Van Halen IMO. Still, looking forward to the album immensely!

Evil Rick Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 My work computer doesn't like Vimeo. In the regular screen the video won't even show up. When I go into "couch mode" or full screen, my computer doesn't have the ram to run the video without skipping. I'll check it out when I get home. I really liked "She's The Woman" though so my hopes are raising that this will be a decent album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rocker Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I like what I hear so far. A lot of mixed feelings out there about it so far. To me it sounds very DLR solo rather than a Van Halen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-BONE Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Agreed... It sounds more like a DLR tune than a VH tune.... Still pretty decent though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I dunno... I was rather underwhelmed. It's a'ight I guess but I would've expected their big comeback single to sound bigger 'n' badder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullethead Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I dunno... I was rather underwhelmed. It's a'ight I guess but I would've expected their big comeback single to sound bigger 'n' badder. I was wondering if I was gonna have to say it first. It's really...just bad. And please, someone tell DLR to stop dancing. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 In the old days, this is the kind of song that would've been stuck at the ass end of Side 2 of the record, where everyone could skip it... not the first single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I agree - I was expecting something a bit more bombastic, it's ok but a bit - pedestrian? I wanted something to blow my face off after all the hype surrounding it - a real statement of intent enough to say "we're back babyyyyyyy!" sort of thing.

Especially when you consider all the awesome albums which are due to hit this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrain Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think it's a decent song, not bad but definitely not great, and from what I've heard, it's an old late-70s song that didn't make it to their debut and been recycled. I'm afraid the new album will be a set of old demos, but might be a good thing for fans of classic VH, and who knows it will be like VAIN's Enough Rope? oldies but goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Eh.. Like Keith I am underwhelmed to be honest.. It's not Bad exactly, I just expeted something with more.. Punch to it to preview the new album..... Now for those that don't now?? the Other "New" Tune.. She's A Woman or something?? Is not new at all.. It was first recorded before VH released their debut album back in 1978 was just never released.. They re-recorded it for the new album and honestly I like it better than Tattoo... And I agree, Someone PLEASE tell DLR to STOP tht stupid gay dancing already,..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinsane Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 In a freak accident I was listening to the *gulp* radio on the way home from work last night and "Tattoo" played. I must say it sounded and felt nice cranking in the car! And ease off on Dave's twinkle toes, thats kind of been his schtick for the past millenium...

Dead Planet Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's okay but not good enough to get me to buy the new release...but I'll check out more samples when it gets released... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacharyamelie Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like it, certainly not the best they've done. I was hoping for a BIGGER more melodic sound, but let's face it other than Wolfgang they are all in their 50's. I'll buy it, I've personally bought, on the release day or week every album from them since I was 9 when '1984' came out. At least this sounds better then Van Halen III.

Swazi Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yeah, not that bad actually. I quite like it. I'll check out other samples, though, before buying the new disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 In the old days, this is the kind of song that would've been stuck at the ass end of Side 2 of the record, where everyone could skip it... not the first single. +1 Exactly what I was gonna write, just had to scroll down to see who already said it. So, I'll add my own commentary.... Boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHun72 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The song is OK, nothing more IMO and definitely not worthy of a single. Are Van Halen relevant in 2012? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glam_junkie Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Not a fan. Would anyone listen twice if it wasn't van halen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangerdave Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I like the song even if it struggles to get out of 2nd gear and i'm a DLR era fan so i will pick up the album and give it a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Nights Reserved Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Not bad at all but telling the truth I'm a big DLR era fan. I am really interested in the new album (and it was so great to hear a new EVH solo!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
