Your favorite new song of the first 3 released

[Seshmeister]

So which is the best one so far of the 3?

[Dave's Bitch]

Love em' all but Tattoo still get's my motor running

[Carmine]

1) Blood and Fire

2) The Trouble with Never

3) Tattoo

[vandeleur]

Blood and fire is awsome the lyrics get better every time i hear them

[fourthcoming]

I gotta agree with Carmine.....

1. Blood and Fire
2.) trouble with Never
3. Tattoo

and that's not any knock on Tattoo at all.

[kwame k]

1) Blood and Fire

2) The Trouble with Never

3) Tattoo

x's 2!!!!!

[fryingdutchman]

I've never been so happy to rack my brain over a decision!!

But I'm going with Blood and Fire...for now.

I said it before and I'll say it again. This is like we've been smacking a pinata for years and it finally broke open...and all the treats just keep raining down on us.

[binnie]

Blood & Fire - it's not even that close in my mind.

I get the feeling that over time I'll prefer 'The Trouble With Never' because of that riff! Right now I'm stumbling over the chorus, however.

[Seshmeister]

I think Blood and Fire may be one of the best things they have ever done 6 pack included.

[ThrillsNSpills]

I think Blood and Fire may be one of the best things they have ever done 6 pack included.

I agree. There's no way it won't be a single.

[binnie]

I think Blood and Fire may be one of the best things they have ever done 6 pack included.

I think that's your excitment talking (or the booze). Comparisons with the 6-pack are premature at this stage.

Although it is very, very good.

[Zing!]

1. Blood And Fire
2. The Trouble With Never
3. Tattoo

Tough call on 1 and 2 - love them both - but the Ripley riff showing up on a VH album with Dave singing is literally like a dream come true for me, so it wins by a nose. How come 'Stay Frosty' isn't on the ballot? Or 'She's The Woman'? Both of those would place ahead of 'Tattoo' in my book. How amazing is it that we're even having this conversation? I've been walking around all morning humming stray bits and pieces of ALL of these songs. I've got a feeling ADKOT is going to be epic!

[guwapo_rocker]

1) Blood and Fire

2) The Trouble with Never

3) Tattoo

I agree.

[SNIPER]

1) Blood and Fire

2) The Trouble with Never

3) Tattoo

Yup. This has been it for me too. But it is a close one. This will also be subject to change at some point like these kind of listd always do for me.

[Golden AWe]

You know what? Tattoo, I liked it from the very beginning. As someone said, it may end up as the "least best" from the new songs. But it sounds better all the time, and partly because the other songs are so great too...it's a mental thing, relaxing after worrying the magic wouldn't work...

I like The Trouble With Never best anyway.

Totally agree - I like "Tattoo", but I've liked everything I've heard since better...and "The Trouble with Never" may be the standout so far!

"Blood and Fire" doesn't suck either...!

[Angel]

Damn, that's a tough one. I think I'll go with "The Trouble with Never" for now. Makes me giggle a little bit every time because I can't help but think about Alex saying "David Lee Roth will NEVER sing with VH again"... Gotta just love the selective amnesia line, and the tweedle-dum and tweedle-dummer... (Did Dave steal that from here?) Either way, I'm finding it fucking impossible to concentrate on reading assignments and writing law briefs right now!!!!!

maybe he meant he won't sing...he'll scream, shout, yell, hummm, talk and whisper!!

Be on the look out for the Beatles in the near future

You're just putting them in order of heaviness. :)

[if6was9]

Stay frosty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Momshell]

This is a tough one since they're so different and still so new. It's like trying to pick which of my kids I like the best! I gotta say that Stay Frosty made me smile the biggest of all so far. Love them all. They should make 2/7 a national holiday!

[Golden AWe]

I've probably changed my mind...the Blood and Fire solo kicks too much ass!!!

[Combat Ready]

So far.....Blood and Fire! Better than I ever hoped for!!!

[Sensible Shoes]

No vote for "Stay Frosty"? I can tell that's going to be my favorite.

[JJtheVagPounder]

Right now, The Trouble with Never tops my personal charts. So catchy.

[Angel]

We're voting for songs that we've heard in their entire form, not just clips. I HATE fucking clips, although I'm Frosty... OH YEAH!!!!

[wiseguy]

Stay frosty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boom!! There ya go.

[Carmine]

I've probably changed my mind...the Blood and Fire solo kicks too much ass!!!


Hell yeah, it does!

[Roth & Roll]

I like them all - but Stay Frosty totally blew me away.

[Droomer5150]

Blood and Fire!!!

[Droomer5150]

^ hahahaha that pic is hilarious XD

[Loons The Great]

Stay Frosty...that's wha't the preachah man said now...

[Panamark]

I've loved every snippet we have had so far !
To be fair, I need to hear the most recent ones as many times
as tattoo. (As there is massive "grower" power in tattoo)
before I can decide.

What a great predicament to be in :)

[ashstralia]

i'll be gettin back to y'all next saturday when the thirteen way poll is up. :biggrin:

but seeing as i'm on my self-imposed embargo, TATTOO-TATTOO!!!

[bru87tr]

She's The Woman
You & Your Blues (Awesome)
China Town

I really love these!!!

As much as I like Tattoo, I think the way itunes has it missing on the CA clips, I think the album flows better without it.

[sadaist]

Blood And Fire

Tattoo

The Trouble With Never



It's fun to listen to Ripley & imagine Dave coming up with the verses & hook to the music. Sounds so obvious now.

[SNIPER]

I love them all however "Honeysweetbabydoll" or whatever its called stands out as the most interesting to me. Fucking wild shit going on there. haha..STOKED!!

[ThrillsNSpills]

Stay Frosty...that's wha't the preachah man said now...

All Dave, all night.
It reminds me of 79th and Sunset since it's got the rapid word delivery he was always good at.

My favorites for now are Blood and Fire and Trouble With Never.
I have a blast figuring out the complicated parts.

[SNIPER]

Ooops! Sorry, didn't read the topic. Out of the 3 this is for me.
1. Blood and Fire
2.) trouble with Never
3. Tattoo

[vandeleur]

still love blood and fire of the 3...... But i totally change my mind when am listening the 90 second clips , every one is my new fav but will stick my neck out as am totally into china town its my kinda rock n roll ... and it has a little thin lizzy thing that i cant put my finger on .. just a little nod but its got something about it.

[guwapo_rocker]

[chi-town324]

blood and fire sounds more like CVH then the others

[Whorehey]

I missed you dave!!!

[Sensible Shoes]

I"m stickin' with Stay Frosty.

[twonabomber]

The Trouble With Never.

but the whole "say it like you mean it" part of Blood and Fire makes me smile every time i hear it.

[guwapo_rocker]

The Trouble With Never.



My 5 year old son agrees with you. He loves it.

[Seshmeister]

I think we're gonna need a bigger poll... :)

I'll maybe leave it until next week.

[Fairwrning]

Went with Trouble....AWESOME solo and the smooth bit afterward with the spoken bit...and then that guitar kicks back in...just killer.." this could damage your reputation"..

[Fairwrning]

I"m stickin' with Stay Frosty.

Wait a sec..thats not an option

[DONNIEP]

Blood And Fire. There are so many parts to this song that either give a nod to the past or touch on where VH is right now. Damn, I must have listened to this song 100 times at least. Blood And Fire is exactly what I was wanting to hear from Van Halen, even though I didn't really know what I was wanting. This is the "we're back" statement that I was waiting for from Van Halen! Good God, hit replay and give me another beer!!! :gulp:

[Little Texan]

Was Blood and Fire, but after I heard the 90 second clip of As Is, it became my new favorite! Sounds like something that could have been on 1984, and it has kind of a HFT thing going on.

[VanHalener]

I have only heard Tattoo, and I am waiting for the album release before I hear any more.

~I can't fooking WAIT~

OWWWWW!

[handyman]

I haven't heard those 3 songs. I wish to hear even 1 of those song.

[VanHalener]

What seems to be the problem, handyman?

=Welcome to the Roth Army=

[Little Texan]

I haven't heard those 3 songs. I wish to hear even 1 of those song.

Dude, every one of those songs are available for download on the UK itunes.

[VanHalener]

None of the above


I can't stop putting the electricity to Outta Space.


To be honest, I am not sure if I am really here posting this.
Is this real? I am pounding eardrums with A Different Kind of Truth?

Somebody pinch me
