Tattoo is horrible, but this song on the other hand is really good! Thanks for posting...this gives me hope that the entire album won't be a joke!

I listened to 4 tracks off that as I loved the first Chickenfoot album, but I did not care for it. As you say, it was completely boring to me.

This is great, thanks for posting. Tattoo wasn't all that great, so this has definitely made me more interested. It comes out the 7th I take it.

You know, most of these songs posted in this thread I have liked quite a bit. I really didn't like Tattoo though, so it makes me wonder why the hell they picked that song. I guess maybe it has some mainstream appeal, but to me it sounded boring as hell.

I was really surprised by this cd.....my "VH is DONE, stick a fork in em'" attitude has been easily proved wrong with this release. Growing up in the late 70's & early 80's, I used to count the days to a new VH release. This cd brings me back to that time....and I agree, "Chinatown" rocks, and I can't stand "Tattoo"

I love it. It's VAN HALEN and that's all that matters to me. It agree with J-Dubya, it does bring back those old days.

I heard the whole thing on Spotify last night...way, way better than I was expecting. "Tattoo" is still weak...not a lead track at all...but I was pleasantly surprised by it...I was expecting to not like it at all.

from http://www.bravewords.com/news/177610 :
"Yesterday (Tuesday, February 7th), the release date for VAN HALENs new album, A Different Kind Of Truth, a new special called The Whole Truth: The Howard Stern/Van Halen - which is essentially a five-hour uncensored history of Van Halen - aired on The Howard Stern Show the good, the bad and the ugly. They pulled a variety of appearances from the different band members over the years to really get a sense of the up and down history of the group and the back and forth bickering. Its an amazing oral history as told through the band members themselves. Funny, interesting and of course entertaining. Every past or present band member is in there except Eddie's son/bassist Wolfgang Van Halen
You will not hear any of the bands new music on this. Its entirely for Van Halen fans who like Stern and want to relive the bands past drama, for some reason."

This cd is in heavy rotation for me right now. I wanted to like it, but was very doubtful. Especially after the clips of them live in the club, and from their last tour. I was pretty much decided they were done.
They have won me over.
I'm back in 1984 and damn happy about it. Color me impressed. And I REALLY hate to say this, because I thought Michael Anthony was an integral part of VH.....but I don't miss him here at all. I'm a bit shocked at that, frankly. Luckily I think both of the Chickenfoot cd's kick butt too, so its win-win for me.
Oh...and as much as I wasn't impressed with Tattoo either....it has STUCK in my head. (As does Stay Frosty....but I loved the Diver Down/WACF stuff they did, and this fits RIGHT spot in there!)

I was prepared to not like this based on the "Tattoo" song,,,but DAMNIT overall this album kicks ass. There are some lesser songs, but overall I am VERY surprised by this album. Listened to it 3 times at work today.

Tatoo really grew on me, plus Roth just writes the best lyrics in the world. The song is great for the lyircs alone , IMO.
