Van Halen "TATTOO" next week and Tour in Februrary?

[Lynch]

According to the VHND, One week from today we will all be hearing a brand new song from Van Halen which is titled “TATTOO”. Their new album is due February 7th (The album title is still a secret, believe it or not)!

In the end, this song and even the upcoming album is nothing more than a promotion for the upcoming tour, that is where the $$$ is made, it's all about the tour, hardly nobody is going to buy their new stuff. I actually just played the video again, and sorry but I really can't decide if this song is serious, or is Van Halen trolling everyone????

I just don't see any on stage energy from Roth anymore, OK none of us are getting any younger, but he used to fly around the stage like a gymnast, now he just stands around shouting into the mike and occasionally strolling about and clicking his fingers...example..



I love(d) VH in their first incarnation, most exciting live band around for a few years, and I don't rate a band musically on the number of calories they burn off, but that new song is just inane and frightful, sounds like it took them about 3 minutes to compose, if the whole new album is the same standard, it may sell 500 copies tops by the time the critics have finished with it.

I don't know...he looks pretty fit. Fit as a fiddle in fact.

My guess is he's not to attempt stealing the show from anyone. My only problem with this video is it only looks like half a band is up there.

You know...Mike and all.

Exactly. I hope I'm in that good of shape when I'm pushing 60.

To me he looks and moves around like a guy in his mid to upper 40's only

At least there's always Chickenfoot if you need a Michael Anthony/Sammy Hagar fix...

No point in over doing it, especially with the freakish frequency that older rock stars seem to do themselves injury.
