If this new disc is made up of the old WB demos (from 76 to 77) then I will be extremely pleased. Lately that's all I've been listening to.
I like the new guitar part Eddie put in for "She's The Woman". He's still a badass. EVH's brown sound and P's funk single coil tone (to me) is my ultimate guitar tone.
Gonna try and score tickets when they hit Atlantic City in March. | |

Probably's Dave's choice. Cool nonetheless. | |

Looking forward to the new music. No one can say they were piping in Mike Anthony's vocals this time. There's some more video footage up on You Tube, and VH Facebook is supposed to be posting a few of their own.
This isn't all that different from Prince going in the vault for Extra Loveable... some people are still going to complain, but most people love it when they go to back in time for some of the old sound and bring it into the 21st. | |

I wonder if JT Taylor is involved with Kool & The Gang. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Dunno...but the idea of K&TG opening for them is getting a fairly "warm" reception from the CVH faithful over at RothArmy. Several regs there even posted dream setlists for them to open with Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

^ Well as far as 30 sec samples go I do enjoy it. Lol. I can't believe this track hasn't leaked yet. But hey what's 2 days compared to 26 years.Lol. Plus the new song is almost 5 minutes long. I would bet there's either an interesting intro to song and/or some cool breakdown section and/or ending. According to tracklist posted, Tattoo is the opening track. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to the new VH album. [Edited 1/8/12 9:35am] Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way. | |

Not bad, not amazing but not bad...
I feel the energy is a bit eh, and the lyrics are eh to. DLR used to be clever, these lyrics sound a bit forced:P Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Yeah. I like the song, but it's not great. I hope the album will be great though. I do miss some power from David , he is not as powerful as he was(well, yeah probably because he is older now. ) [Edited 1/10/12 3:57am] | |

First off as a lifelong VH fan, more importantly CVH, I'm really diggin new song. Video is fun too. Yes, new song is def a grower and a slow burn, but it's fun and catchy as well. I think everyone sounds great. There's a magic with Dave and Ed that can't be denied. Imo. Also, I suspect this song won't resonate with the "instant gratification generation" as much as the classic ol' skool fans. I dunno. And I'm sure the rest of the album will include some intense, rocking and classicVH/DLR weirdness not so evident on Tattoo. After all, this is the first "single". I have complete faith and I'm happy thus far. [Edited 1/10/12 5:52am] Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way. | |

Im not hoping for the pop of 1984..more like FW or W&CF "Climb in my fur." | |

^ In a perfect world yes! FW and WACF are my faves. Don't think they'll go there, but as long as album is up there with the 6-pack, I'll be happy. Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way. | |

Fair Warning is my ALL TIME favorite Van Halen record. Out of all the Dave & Sammy albums that one is number 1 for me, but i have to say i highly doubt they will ever recreate what they did on that album/: Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Fair Warning is my top pick as well. Agree with assessment rdhull. Like I've stated before, it's got some of the funkiest grooves VH has ever laid down. Imo. I can't wait to see what they've done on new album as a whole piece of work. Me thinks there's gonnna be some funky type grooves lurking within. Fantasy is reality in the world today. But I'll keep hangin in there, that is the only way. | |

Thing is the expectations are so friggin high. Im sure initally there will be disappointment but given time, the release will probably be seen as a keeper. I hope Roth went back to their essence for this and not Eds version of what og VH fans desire.
ogvh haha "Climb in my fur." | |

^ Yes, after the dust settles, and the new album drops, all will be good in the land of new VH. lol. Honestly though, I think the only album that knocked me out on first listen was the first album. The rest, more or less, took some time to digest and sink in.Then over time, became classics. I'm confident I will not be dissapointed. [Edited 1/10/12 14:37pm] Fantasy is reality in the world today.

WTF??
Oh Silly Sammy... he is talking about the boys and there lack of creative juices, fair enough. But this line ''hey haven't released an album since my last album in something like 1991 or '92, and then they just go back. To me, it makes a strange statement, it kind of says, "We don't have anything, we're not a band anymore, we're not creative." Isn't it a strange statement to you?''
Balance came out in 95! how in the hell can he forget a whole album, singles, tour and everything! it was a year later when David joined the band for 5 minutes again....
wtf sam? Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
