Van Halen "Tattoo"

Well I guess Hell has frozen over.  The long-awaited return of David Lee Roth as a member of Van Halen (beyond a reunion tour) has actually amounted to some new music.  Well, "new" being relative as the basis for their new single "Tattoo" goes way back to at least 1978 from a song that didn't make the cut for their debut album.


Van Halen - Tattoo from Van Halen on Vimeo.

Gotta admit it wasn't what I was hoping for (that'd be Edward destroying a guitar with a new riff the kids would be cutting their fingers trying to imitate), but fans of old school Van Halen should be happy. Doesn't get more old school than to literally pull a song out of the vault.

But maybe Ed learned a little from his last full-time singer when Van Halen 3 failed to make an impact (even though there was some great stuff on it), and a big problem is that Gary Cherone was trying to sound like Sammy Hagar (most assuredly because Mr. Van Halen was trying to point him in that direction).  "Tattoo" may not be a glass-breaking, ass-kicking tune, but it suits Roth's vocal style the past decade or so.

And I'm sure there are a few ass-kickers on the album.  Less than a month left before we find out...

Van Halen's album A Different Kind of Truth drops Tuesday, February 7.
