Uh... Hate to be judgemental on a whole 15 or 20 seconds but... MEH. I hope that's the shittyist part of the track... Ugh...

[ToraToraTora]

Wow, i don't know why but that sounds really familiar!

[Rikk]

Sounds a lot like Dave's solo stuff.

Not sure...a bit too middle-of-the-road rock sounding for me...but I don't want to pass judgment yet. The chorus started to sound catchy before it cut off.

From the video they released on their site Dec 26 where you can see Ed & Dave mouth the word Tattoo.....this music doesn't jive with the way they were groovin in that video. In the video they were with something very uptempo.

Far too short to make a proper review on, but if "She's The Woman" IS on the album, it might have been a stronger single to lead off with.

It reminded me of "Down In Flames" somehow, which is kinda funny, because I thought they already morphed that song into their version of "You're No Good".

[fletch]

it sounds a hell of a lot like Dave's solo stuff...lol

[Jagermeister]

Damn song is almost 5 minutes long? Hmm

[ToraToraTora]

Well it's not a cover, it's original NEW VH woohooooo

Ditto - right before it cut off. The bridge, rather than chorus, I'm guessing. I'm no musician, but the chord changes - sort of descending - sound similar to the chorus of 'Down in Flames', and Dave is kinda vocally filling up the space similarly, too.

The clip is not a lot to go on, but did I hear synths in there - not upfront, which is one thing, but kinda padding out the 'picture'.

I still have faith that the album will be good enough for what it is - a bunch of guys (and Wolf) not far short of 60.

i think it's a reworked version of down in flames !

Hey its NEW MUSIC FROM CVH.....................
We've been waiting for 26 fuckin years......
Lets sit back and just enjoy all that we are gonna get from these boys cause it may very well be the last time(and GOD knows I hope I'm wrong)
Sounds good to me so far......

[Jetstream]

I actually loved it, and it cut off right before it was building in the chorus which was set up for what seemed to be something really good.
