New Doors and Van Halen Tunes

As heard in the news lately, the David Lee Roth fronted Van Halen will tour this year to support their new album (the first since 1984) titled, A Different Kind of Truth. The album is to be released February 7. Here is a newly released video from the new album called "Tattoo" The song is alright. Could have easily came off from the Diver Down album with a twist of Roth's solo work. Eddie's guitar solo kicks ass. Missing here are Micheal Anthony's backing vocals. With a few more listens I'd be able to appreciate it a little more....



Thought they have cleared the vault. Next is the yet to be released song from the upcoming release of the 40th Anniversary Edition of the Doors' L.A. Woman. This song is a sure fire killer! To me, it's up there with "Riders on the Storm", "L.A. Woman", and "Love Her Madly" off of the album. The song is a rollicking blues number with smokin' piano solo from Ray Manzarek and jangling guitars from Robbie Kreiger as well as some repetitive poetry from the Lizard King as well...



What do you think?

I wasn't that impressed with Tattoo songwise but still looking forward to their new album simply of the fact that it's Diamond Dave back in the fold. Here's hoping the album is much better than tattoo.

Same here Crabb. Side by side against the earlier Van Halen classic tunes, "Tattoo" doesn't hold much. The song reminds me of something off of the Diver Down album, to me, it's their worst. Hope the rest of the album fares better...

1984 entitled, talented rock band Van Halen release of their CD. I am very confident, I believe Van Halen fans pleased to announce the, and rock fans will be happy in this matter.
