Van Halen - Tattoo (Full Song)



As I said on the air it's a pretty straightforward mid-tempo rock song, so your first reaction might be: "That's what Dave and Eddie have come up with after all this time?" But the chorus is fairly catchy, and Eddie's solo two-and-half minutes in is classic Van Halen.

(The last Van Halen album with Roth was "1984" . . . 28 years ago. Although there were a couple tracks with Roth on 1996's "Best of Volume I".)

According to their producer, Ross Hogarth, quote, "You will not be disappointed. We made a rock record and it kicks ass. Trust me." (--You can check out the new album artwork on their Facebook page.)

(Van Halen performed a "new" song called "She's the Woman" last week at a small club gig in New York, but it was actually a song they wrote in the '70s and never put on an album.)
