28 years since we got a real =VH= record with the one and only Diamond David Lee Roth. From the sample clips I have heard it is going to be a great album. The songs sound fun again with Dave in the band. Even the weakest song Tattoo is still catchy and enjoyable to listen to. Who else is pumped for new Van Halen in the year 2012?

Full tracks were posted on their website a few days ago, doesn't seem like they are there anymore though.

Very true, but you have to take what you can get. Eddie was always a dick to Michael Anthony from what I read.

And look what I just found, 30 second clips to all the songs here: http://www.youtube.com/user/VHFrance

Some badass picks:

5 more days until the release date! And it won't be a disappointment, many reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. I'm just happy to get new vh with david lee roth.
 
listened to the first two songs....eeehhh.. it's alright. But I'm going to listen to the rest! The feedback on this album makes it worth it to listen to all of it at least once or a few times just to see if it grows.
 
if i thought eddie had a sense of humor i would think that tattoo was a bit of trolling because its totally what youd expect old washed up van halen to sound like but surprise there is some more classic vh sounding material on the actual album. but from what ive witnessed over the years i think eddie is just an asshole and it probably wasnt a joke, but there are better songs anyway.
 
Eddie Van Halen Quotes


David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song, you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music.
Eddie Van Halen

I was trying to take the band in a direction that I thought was appropriate, and Roth was trying to take the band in more of a Las Vegas direction. And there he is.
Eddie Van Halen

It's always a Catch-22 situation. They hate you if you're the same, and they hate you if you're different.
Eddie Van Halen

Music is for people. The word 'pop' is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I'm cool.
Eddie Van Halen

There's a plaque on our wall that says we've sold over 65 million albums, and I don't feel I've accomplished anything. I feel like I'm just getting started.
