just listened to the album and its not their best but not bad either.eddie and alex sound pretty good and wolfgang (unless eddie played the bass lines) does well too.there were parts where it would have been cool to hear mikes backround vocals and dave does fairly decent in a studio.overall about a 3 out of 5.
Now please let Dave do his work and we are no one to accept or not Dave in the band. Dave like the others is a great singer and good entertainer and have is own style. Now we just have to enjoy and bless their return for the good or the bad. God save Van Halen.
Hello everyone. In here i´m gonna post my opinion and i´m not going to discuss it with anybody.
Van Halen first born with David Lee Roth wich was gold times. Then came Sammy Hagar witch was gold time too. With Gary Gerone was nice but i think is voice couldn´t support the style of music of Van Halen. Michael Anthony went away with Sammy for reasons we are nothing to do with it but that´s what happens in other bands. Van Halen must go on and we must give a chance to wolfie.
@bluesrckn - Sammy Hagar quoted "If you want my honest opinion Eddie should be the instrumentalist and Joe should always have a singer because Joe’s the best musician".
Yep! I searching through ALL THE FREAKIN' post about this show. One of the longest was from a guy I don't know and I'm sure a lot of people know who I'm talking about!!! It's the video's that you can't comment on!!! Anybody seen this one! He could have had a good thing to post! But, he $#@!!! it up with him singing and going back and forth with the camera!!! I hope David or Wolfie kicks his ass!!!!
Fuck all you fucks who think VH is too old....fuck you all from the bottom of my heart....Van Halen with Dave and Eddie----TIMELESS is exactly what it is....how can it not be good?
all you musical wimps can go get you a busride to Rio and shut the F up
OK, let's clear the air. This is NOT a new song. It's from 1978. Sammy Hagar quoted correctly that VH is re-hashing OLD songs that never made it out... .Also, these are Michael Anthony's bass lines and vocals that Wolfie is copying too....
I am a huge Van Halen Fan, have been since I was in grade 8 since women and children first, my smartphone's backdrop is a van halen symbol, my ring tones are van halen songs, .... think about it, everybody wants some as a ringtone, how bad ass is that.... I think tattoo song is not very good at all.. I was really hoping for a heavy album like Women and Children first or Fair warning... ugh.. I hope the rest of the songs are better... still gonna see them in concert..
@xguy1965 thats how I felt the first timr I heard JUMP....but I listened to it 5 times and it's more mature for a matured audience...we cant bring back the 70's and the 80s...live in the now...dude
I really dont know why everbody is tearing into these guys..they are out trying to make a buck.you guys are tearing these guys down on the very thing that stole there royalties YOUTUBE ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS.Thers nothing they can do but try to make up for lost money.Sure they are not as good as they were., do you think the guy down at the local grocery store can put up a case of soup as fast or with as much enthusiasm as he did 30 years ago?we are not a bottle of wine that gets better with age HUMAN
I have seen the footage from the 2007/08 tour and to be honest it's difficult to make a judgement on it because the sound quality is shit but like any band during a tour they have good nights and bad nights.
Another point dear boy/girl is thus, I can identify and appreciate good musicianship when I hear it, Alex and Eddie have always been exceptional musicians but they are but human and have good nights and bad nights. Like every band on the planet.
@TheGibson5150 Dude, I saw them in '86 and '88 and they KILLED both times. You will never sell me on this tripe. They cannot do it anymore. It would be like Nolan Ryan taking the mound again or Gretzky lacing them up again. Sure they could play kinda but not nearly as well as they did in their prime and not as well as players in their prime or older healthier players. They made squillions of dollars and should have saved some of that instead of freebasing it away. Dumb bastards.
Hmmm. This tour in enticing, mostly because Eddie's investment in his son's playing is ready for harvest, obviously. That boy needs to get some young man riffs going, bring to the band. Good 2 hear VH sounding so heavy in 2012.
@rokarolla Save your money. I saw them in '86 and '88 and now they are nowhere near what they were then. Watch some old live vids like Live Without A Net, that is as close to real vintage Van Halen you are going to get.
Dear boy, It doesn't matter that they've used an unreleased song from the past (remember House of Pain from 1984?) as long as it's still good. Please understand that the defination of shit consists of the contents of your skull you gormless child-fucking cunt.
@TheGibson5150 Ahem and a hearty go-fuck-yourself to you douchenozzle. Look, the band took a 14 year hiatus from a poor selling VHIII and still they have to use old tunes. You haven't seen the footage from the latest tours have you? If you have (and liked them) you are tone deaf and unable to judge musicianship, clearly. In that case, your tin ear will enjoy the latest blasphemous version of Eddie and the boys, limping (and lip syncing MA's vox) through their upcoming tour and release.
It´s just like Page/Plant, Lennon/McCartney, Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons, Daltrey/Towshend, Jagger/Richards...
"Van Hagar" is just another band. If you want that kind of silly-stupid-melodramatic songs (Hagar trademark), just go away and buy your chickenshit album. Please leave us (Van Halen and VH fans) alone in peace!!
If you don´t like or just don´t realize that VH with DLR is the REAL Mighty Van Halen, you are too young, too stupid or too young AND stupid!!! You don´t know nothing abou the history of Rock/hard rock to understand the importance and influence of Eddie Van Halen/David Lee Roth.
@BBEEAANN1 Dude, have you heard the new record in its entirety, or this grainy clip of one song and the 30 second preview of Tattoo? Unless you got some private pre-release listen then you are speaking about something you haven't even heard. We don't know how many old demos they used as a basis for the new songs, how much of each one they used, or how good the record is as a whole, so honestly it seems no matter what you are pre-determined to hate it. So be it, wallow in your misery.
@BBEEAANN1 Also countless artists dig up old demos and use them as skeletons for updating/refining for album use, there is absolutely nothing pathetic about that. They wrote the shit, why not use it!? We also know for a fact that not all of the album will be that, (see Tattoo) I agree ego and negative vibes have had VH by the balls for some time now, but I think its our duty as fans to be thankful and appreciative that the guys are putting in effort, time, and money to give new shit
@BBEEAANN1 Lady Gaga sold more albums this year than VH does that mean she is a better musician? No. I agree man Sammy is certainly a more talented singer, and dont get me wrong I love the Sammy era as well, as long as its Van Halen I'm happy, but there is no denying the intial magic and spark that is Van Halen was set off by the classic Roth era. That brand of Van Halen had a much more unique, quirky, and original flair.
why cant you guys just enjoy the music and stop hateing...everbody's gotta be a critic. isnt it what it is about having a good time? you all gotta grip like little baby's..should be happy they are at least trying!!!
@MrBillydixon Why? Because Eddie is a complete scumbag, douche that cannot play worth a shit anymore yet he still wants to rape the ignorant's wallets like he rapes a crack pipe.
@MrBillydixon So be an ignorant, tone deaf prick, see if I care. You'd be better off visiting Mcdonald's for your regular nightly meal than giving money to this methed out, former talent, you fuggin' knucklehead.
@Ateamcaptain All kidding aside yes van halen has never soundes good live.DLR never sang the lyrics right and even forgot them at times and Eddie is so distorted But thier albums were produced and mixed well(Ted Templeman) there albums are classics. And their concerts only reason they did well is because of how flamboyent they were.So maybe if the cd is done right it might sound good..but i really woundt expect a great output live.But i would go see them live just to say i did.
@MrBillydixon You are full of shit. They sounded fantastic in '86 and '88 when I saw them live. This latest debacle is pathetic. Sorry but they are done like fucking dinner.
@Ateamcaptain dont seen what the problem is if you dont like it dont listen to it..your acting like they gangbanged your mom!! They are making way more money sucking than you sitting on your computter bitching about how much they suck..
@MrBillydixon Yep, but now all you have to do is come to the realization that the band's best days are LOOOOONG behind them. At least 20 years behind them. I do feel lucky I got to see them in the 80s, even if it wasn't the original line up. That's okay, I still have nearly 70 tunes that are great that they created with stellar musicianship and honesty. Tattoo reeks of over commercialized, boring, predictable music and that is not what VH was about.
@Ateamcaptain behind them or not alot of these older bands have to get back together and tour or record a new cd..touring is the only way bands can make big money anymore.The internet and downloads stole all there royalties.If they have to do a 50 or 100 city tour why jam on them they are selling there old stuff wich they have the rights to collect on. if you like to think of them the way they were thats fine but i'm sure your not the same as you were 30 years ago.
@MrBillydixon They shouldn't have freebased the squillions of dollars away then they would not have to disgrace themselves and the name. I would not walk across the street to see them now they are that bad.
@Ateamcaptain Dont really care what they did with their money i didnt get Eddie high..only album i bought of theirs was Fair Warning when i was 10 years old. recorded it to a cassette. its in my basement only played it once.probaly paid 5 bucks for it. probaly worth 10 now. so i made money off them. ;)
You know, Im really excited about this new album and tour, and Im definitely going to see them, could be the last chance, who knows, ..... I hope this album is a little harder kind of like the first four albums, thats the van halen I miss and want to hear. . . fingers crossed. . . we are all craving new music with DLR and Van Halen....
Just makes me sick to think what these guys could have done if they hadn't broken up. Their first two albums were just amazing, we were teenagers listening to it, and believe me, it was special
there new cd better no be a buncha of there old demos. i thought i herd it was all new material. iv herd all there demos and there were nothing special.
@wolfgang29 I actually like a lot of the club stuff more than some of the later stuff. IMO, songs like Lets Get Rockin, Put Out The Lights, Light In the Sky, and Big Trouble are all awesome songs!
Yeah, that was She's the Woman it was on one of their old demos. I think that song is cool. One of my favorite parts of that song is Mike's bass playing on it. Very funky and in the pocket. There's lots of stuff on those demos that I'd like to hear as a "finished" product. Ed sounds like he's playing well and Roth songs pretty good too. I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff, even if there's some old riffs in there.
@hlygoly1 Shit song and it is 35 years old. Whole album will be full of them so get used to it. Pretty hard to write 10 tunes when you are gooned 99% of the day.
Sammy's book and 3 year campaign of hate has failed. VH will be this year's highest grossing act. Chickenfoot *BOMBED* and Spammy fan's need to accept this fact. Welcome tio the world of obscurity Spammy! Long live VH!
@MrVHWolf 500,000 records is bombed? One of only 12 CDs that went gold or better that year? You are either deaf or dumb or both if you think Van Halen is going to sell over a million CDs. Ain't gonna happen. Artistically it is already a failure and I have heard one song. When you have to rip off songs from 35 years ago, your creativity is dead, face it. Do the world a favour and retire now Eddie, before you totally destroy the VH name!
You idiot, Chickenfoot III was only on the charts for 3 weeks and less than 100,000 sold. Boy, are you dumb. VH will outsell Chickenshit in it's *first* week. They are projected to sell 250k in week one! Get with it loser - no one cares about Spammy or Mike. The quicker you realize that, the quicker you won't have to endure the pain VH fans will inflict upon your sorry and dumb ass! LOL
VH will be the higest grossing band in 2012 and gross over 100 million. LMFAO
@MrVHWolf The first Chickenfoot album went gold you dipshit. Look it up Einstein. How many did Van Halen III sell douchey? That's right, shut yer fucking yapper. You have to be retarded to still think VH can do anything onstage or on record other than embarrass themselves.
You're tone deaf and unable to judge talent. Find a new band to listen to, there are many that write and perform better than this glorified lounge act.
Try not to slobber on yourself as you contemplate what I wrote.
VH played to 80,000 people over 4 nights in Los Angeles in 2007. Chickenfoot's biggest single city attendance was only 5,000 people and their avg audience per night was only 3,000.
VH grossed more in just one night in 2007 than Chickenfoot did their *ENTIRE* tour.
Keep talking, you idiot Hagar Cocksucker, you work for Dave and VH and never forget that! Catch Chickenfoot in a dive bar near you, catch VH in a huge areana... if you can get tickets! LMFAO at this stooge...
@MrVHWolf Are you high motherfucker? Britney Spears sold more than either group and so does that make her better you dumb sonofabitch?
No, the fact is, Van Halen is dead, it will never be like it was. The new Tatoo single is fucking brutal. I can write a better song by setting a mic up in the toilet bowl.
@MrVHWolf Dude, Sammy just told the truth. Eddie was a wreck and we all watched it.. did u see the last couple of tours?? No one will be happier to see Ed healthy again than Sam.
Looks more cool than the DLR circus emcee clothes of last tour. Still won't see 'em without Mike though. Shame, they finally have a chance for the original lineup (fiirst show I ever saw in '81) and Eddie screws that up. Good luck to 'em though.
Prob the last time to catch these guys together...who knows what another year brings to you or the band members...if your a fan enjoy...if not stay home and shut the hell up...
Smiling like nothing happened...Finally begs David Lee Roth back a decade too late. And if it doesn't work out Blame Roth again. Even Valerie told him to screw.

If this is so once-in-a-lifetime, why is everyone watching the show thru their dinky phones? I remember certain cultures once mocking Japanese tourists doing the same thru their cameras, cussing them for taking their tech jobs away. How times change. And don't
It's "She's The Woman"! Oh man! This song is one of my bird's favorites - I've had this song forever! They wrote this before 1977!!! I'm serious! My bird loves this! I LOVE THIS!
What a great thing to have done for some select press and VIP's, I would have loved to experience this in person as I've been a fan for decades myself and view their earliest material as Hard Rock Gospel. Hoping more footage surfaces from this, or that they decide to release it somehow.
This isnt a new song, this is a demo from a 1976 version of "she's the woman." The first new song VH will play from their album on Jan..10th.. this report is wrong
Where is Michael Anthony? Those back up vocals are a pinical sound to van halen! He may not be th flashiest bass player but he is SOLID! I'm not buying shit from these sellouts. I'd rather listen to chickenfoot (which is actually very good rock!)! Just wait for the new BLACK SABBATH alblum (cd). Now thats a real iconic band that never sold out. Save your $ people for the real rock'n roll!
@davidrobinsonmagic ah jackoff, i had enjoyed EARLY van halen for years and still like too listen every now and then. Plus u missed the entier point of my comment. Get the shit out of u'r eye's and read it again. jackoff!
i've always loved this song, and its great that they are putting it out. so what if they wrote it 30 years ago. so what? BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt..its sad that MA isn't in the band. they really miss his energy and back up vocal. I saw them in chicago last time around, and its not the same without him. I love EVH, but he's a wierdo. He always has to be in a fight with someone to make himself happy.
I like both singers but i have more and more respect for Dave every day. Sure, sometimes he says pointed things that make you cringe but hey, we all have our problems. Hes an educated , worldly , well read guy. If you get a chance read the book " crazy from the heat" . Its good. I really hope this is the final version of Van Halen. It would be good to see them go into the sunset like this. Good times...make it last guys !
Ever been in Cafe Wah? It's so tiny it's ridiculous. You could mate fit 50 people downstairs where they played. Anything more than that is a total fire hazzard.
Hey morons it was an unfinished song used on a demo. They wanted to finish. There will be alot 100% new material on the album. You shouldn't question someone elses creative ability if you have none yourself.
@leonardpaintball: FYI: She's the Woman was always a fully finished song that VH played in their live sets from about May of '76 through early '77. Once they were signed by WB, the song was dropped from their set list and though demo'd was not chosen for release and disappeared for the next 35 years. Only the instrumental break/bridge before the solo was used for Mean Streets. In the new recorded version they have replaced that part with a similar instrumental bridge.
14 years since their last full length CD and they have to rehash riffs from the 70s off the old demos? Sad what meth, booze and cigarettes will do to a (former) geniuses creative ability.
@brentmann That remains to be seen. Eddie cannot play his old stuff anymore. Hopefully his new stuff is simpler so he can do that meth and drink before shows and still pull it off.
just listened to the album and its not their best but not bad either.eddie and alex sound pretty good and wolfgang (unless eddie played the bass lines) does well too.there were parts where it would have been cool to hear mikes backround vocals and dave does fairly decent in a studio.overall about a 3 out of 5.

@MrBillydixon Yep, but now all you have to do is come to the realization that the band's best days are LOOOOONG behind them. At least 20 years behind them. I do feel lucky I got to see them in the 80s, even if it wasn't the original line up. That's okay, I still have nearly 70 tunes that are great that they created with stellar musicianship and honesty. Tattoo reeks of over commercialized, boring, predictable music and that is not what VH was about.

@Ateamcaptain behind them or not alot of these older bands have to get back together and tour or record a new cd..touring is the only way bands can make big money anymore.The internet and downloads stole all there royalties.If they have to do a 50 or 100 city tour why jam on them they are selling there old stuff wich they have the rights to collect on. if you like to think of them the way they were thats fine but i'm sure your not the same as you were 30 years ago.

Yeah, that was She's the Woman it was on one of their old demos. I think that song is cool. One of my favorite parts of that song is Mike's bass playing on it. Very funky and in the pocket. There's lots of stuff on those demos that I'd like to hear as a "finished" product. Ed sounds like he's playing well and Roth songs pretty good too. I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff, even if there's some old riffs in there.

@MrVHWolf 500,000 records is bombed? One of only 12 CDs that went gold or better that year? You are either deaf or dumb or both if you think Van Halen is going to sell over a million CDs. Ain't gonna happen. Artistically it is already a failure and I have heard one song. When you have to rip off songs from 35 years ago, your creativity is dead, face it. Do the world a favour and retire now Eddie, before you totally destroy the VH name!

You idiot, Chickenfoot III was only on the charts for 3 weeks and less than 100,000 sold. Boy, are you dumb. VH will outsell Chickenshit in it's *first* week. They are projected to sell 250k in week one! Get with it loser - no one cares about Spammy or Mike. The quicker you realize that, the quicker you won't have to endure the pain VH fans will inflict upon your sorry and dumb ass! LOL
VH will be the higest grossing band in 2012 and gross over 100 million. LMFAO

@MrVHWolf The first Chickenfoot album went gold you dipshit. Look it up Einstein. How many did Van Halen III sell douchey? That's right, shut yer fucking yapper. You have to be retarded to still think VH can do anything onstage or on record other than embarrass themselves.
You're tone deaf and unable to judge talent. Find a new band to listen to, there are many that write and perform better than this glorified lounge act.
Try not to slobber on yourself as you contemplate what I wrote.

VH played to 80,000 people over 4 nights in Los Angeles in 2007. Chickenfoot's biggest single city attendance was only 5,000 people and their avg audience per night was only 3,000.
VH grossed more in just one night in 2007 than Chickenfoot did their *ENTIRE* tour.
Keep talking, you idiot Hagar Cocksucker, you work for Dave and VH and never forget that! Catch Chickenfoot in a dive bar near you, catch VH in a huge areana... if you can get tickets! LMFAO at this stooge...

What a great thing to have done for some select press and VIP's, I would have loved to experience this in person as I've been a fan for decades myself and view their earliest material as Hard Rock Gospel. Hoping more footage surfaces from this, or that they decide to release it somehow.

I'd rather listen to chickenfoot (which is actually very good rock!)! Just wait for the new BLACK SABBATH alblum (cd). Now thats a real iconic band that never sold out.

Hes an educated , worldly , well read guy. If you get a chance read the book " crazy from the heat" . Its good. I really hope this is the final version of Van Halen. It would be good to see them go into the sunset like this. Good times...make it last guys !

oiyabastard 1 month ago
@leonardpaintball: FYI: She's the Woman was always a fully finished song that VH played in their live sets from about May of '76 through early '77. Once they were signed by WB, the song was dropped from their set list and though demo'd was not chosen for release and disappeared for the next 35 years. Only the instrumental break/bridge before the solo was used for Mean Streets. In the new recorded version they have replaced that part with a similar instrumental bridge.
