fender73 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 ...is on iTunes...i got all excited....and then....it sounds like an Extreme single. Doh. Quote
fender73 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 It's called Tattoo. I shouldn't bother. Quote
leftyhook Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 For me, van halen 1 album, a bit of 2, then......leave it alone. Quote
MusicJunkie Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 2012 definitely seems to be the year of bands coming back, so far. Quote
tombboy Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I like it... nice to see some sublime references in their lyrics from DLR instead of the sugary sh*te that Sammy used to come up with. "Mousewife to Momshell in the time it takes to get a new tattoo". Not sure how long the link will stay up for.......

Oopsdabassist Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Heard it on Planet Rock this morning, never been much of a VH fan so it got a 'meh' from me! Quote
Kraken Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I heard it this morning on there too, got a 'Not their best' from me. I think the comment that summed it up was 'VH by numbers' oh, and Fender73, it sounds nothing like a single by Extreme... Quote

steve-soar Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Played it before and IMO it sucks, dude. Total "showbiz", about as rock and roll as a tin of Farrow And Ball paint. What's with all the balloons and sh*t at the end of the video? DLR looks like he should be presenting on QVC. Quote

ezbass Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 1:19 is all I could manage before being bored. Next...... Quote

[/quote] Yea, I see where you're going with the Extreme III thing! Bottom line is that it's not a particularly good tune..... Edited January 10, 2012 by peteb Quote
Grassie Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 14 years we've waited for this. [i]14 years[/i]. Underwhelmed is an understatement. I see Interscope didn't bother with a budget for the video either. You'd think that as one of the world's most exciting rock acts was making their comeback after all that time in the wilderness, the record company would stretch to something a bit more exciting than black and white and a few balloons...

bartelby Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 The video looks like every other video for Van Halen and the song is just dull. Quote
steve-bbb Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 ok so the new single is rather mediocre lets have some fun with this instead [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsC7oEjCHAM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsC7oEjCHAM[/url] Quote
Doctor J Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Funnily enough, it turns out this tune dates from 1977 when it was called Down In Flames. Quote
