        Tattoo is only very loosely based on Down in Flames.
        The verse guitar is that riff, but almost nothing else about the song is the same.
        I freaking love it!
        The guitar tone is there. Alex, Eddie and Wolfgang are tight and organic. Crisp and warm snare, clear & funky bass, heavy tone from EVH. And I love the surging pre-solo from DLR.

                    probably have to wait until i wake up...

                    and Vevo doesn't have the video up yet, either.

                          Itunes is mocking us. They have .69 VH songs right now...

                          The opening "salvo" from Ed is outstanding!!! It's like the cool weather that always follows a hurricane saying, "It's ok. The worst is over."

                                I love how Ed is kicking in from the get go.
                                From the footage at Cafe Wha and this single,
                                Eddie is playing better live than the entire time I have
                                posted here. Dave sounds great, Al and Wolf great.
                                Holy Crap if this is going to get better !
                                BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
                                Love ya Mary Frances!
