Hell yea!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back VH. You still got it and so fu**kin cool to hear some fresh songs. Dave is still the leading personality of the band and I think he still has it. So thanks VH for keeping it real. The first time I saw VH was 1979.....and been hooked ever since. Hope I get the chance again. Rock on dudes!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/
Van Halen were too big a part of my junior and high school years soundtrack for me to EVER hate what they do! I even loved the SamHalen days and Daves solo works, but Daves voice and Eddies guitar playing are just too great tastes that go great together! Like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup!
@TheGargoyleLives well i mean obviously you can't expect dave (or anyone for that matter) to sing like he used to at age 57! his signature screams are pretty much gone (there's a couple of them on the new album), but in general, I'm happy that he still SOUNDS like david lee roth. some singers go through such dramatic voice changes that they're a completely different sounding singer by the time they get up there. dave still sounds like dave, so im happy about that.
Mike Anthony always made the songs sound a bit better with his high-pitched back-up vocals! I think their new album will be great... honestly, I heard it's "better than anticipated" and "heavier than anticipated"... I have faith in this album. We'll see!
Wow what a letdown. The break at 1:20 is from "Mean Streets" off 'Fair Warning'. Ed we love you man, but you need to spend several hours a day in your studio just practicing and work on your chops. Doug Aldrich, George Lynch, John 5 (Lowery), Neal Schon and Paul Golbert can all shred and have something to say. C'mon bud, get the passion back! We love you dude!
This is one of those classic VH songs. Its not deep, the lyrics are on the surface. Very reminiscent of "Somebody Get Me a Doctor". Its not going to move you spirutally, but you know what, its going to get cranked up, windows down in the summer.
@gunnut1989 this is a demo track from about 30 years ago that was never put on an album. you can tell because that is Michael Anthony singing background vocals.
because i went to Cduniverse last night to see if they had this (pre order)
& this song is on the list. a couple of demos that didn't make it onto an LP before sounds like a good idea. I just hope its Rocking. Many Fans have been waiting for a long time.
Oh now wow ... Tattoo is a great song and everything ... makes you think about how good things used to be ... but this is VAN HALEN right here!!! This says how great things are going to become!!!
There is no question this is better than the new version.. it actually has a real bass player on it. and killer vocals. sorry dave you just don't have it anymore.
@Jwaaa1234 did you watch the Cafe Wha? Vid? The one I saw was from someone standing right in front of Wolfgang and his amp and he does the song perfectly.
@Danimal300zx Not once did I refer to when it was recorded. I said this sounds much better than that crappy live video few a little bit ago. And I still hope the rest of the album is better than this song. Which does appear on the album.
