Hey WARF CONGRATS on getting the nod to go to the Wha that must have been one hell of a night!!
yes!!
Unless Dave starts going all Norma Rae on us, it's just a storytelling mechanism.
Even when I don't have it playing, it's still in my head."TATTOO" is starting to grow on me, it's taken a few listens and I haven't heard it on a good sound system yet so I'm sure it's going to get even better!
Va, that cheap fucker didn't wanna waste the gas! hahaha
He gave it to me!
I'm with Captain WARF on this one ---- why not saturate the video with gorgeous strippers showin' off their tramp stamps? That has Roth-Era written all over it !!
I hope you have a new drummer. Last time I heard a Mean Machine track the drummer sucked donkey balls.Quote Originally Posted by lesfunk View Post

Danny is the line though I do believe.1. He does have an Uncle Manny!
2. Would anyone born after 1984 even know what a record machine is? Or even a record?

Make sure you post the YouTube link to the performance in here....
Nice kick, nigga!
Knock off that bullshit, right fucking now....
Got myself quoted for a VH tramp stamp.Going to cost me 100
Been listening to the song on and off all day.Love it
Please post a tasty photo of it while the ink is still wet !!
Just flicked on the radio to check my local classic rock station,and
Guess what was playing?!
Didn't know if they'ed do it or not, interested in hearing fans call in and comment.
Wooo!
This is like the best day I've had in many, many moons. This song has given me a fookin’ jolt. I feel like I’m 12 again and running to the Warehouse to buy a new album. I forgot how exciting it was to hear new kickass music from your favorite band.
I didn't say that videos are not important, I'm saying that this one is a lot less important than the song..., no big deal, I'm just not watching it..., but I do have the song on repeat (for about 75 times now)... LIVE YouTube videos will be much more interesting to me when the tour starts.
A certain very pretty photographer is in the video a few times, so you should at least like that!
I stayed up all of last night and literally listened to this song 40 or 50s times before lack of sleep got the better of me. I've never done such a thing, ever! I might be alone in this, but even the classic Van Halen songs never seemed to move me like this one does. Maybe it's the newness of the song, but I don't think so. I even preferred Ed's deep backup vocals to bassplayer's!
I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't completely love this song. It has clever lyrics and it's a mix of classic/new Dave and classic/new Van Halen. It's Van Halen matured and at the top of their game. Everything else seems to be practice for this moment.
The video was very minimalist, but so was the Jump video and look how well that did. They could have synced it up a bit, but I was entertained nonetheless. There are definitely more singles on the way. Plenty of times to redeem themselves in the video department.
Also, like Sesh said in an earlier post, Van Hagar fans complaining about the lyrics is completely hilarious. I had the unfortunate displeasure of listening to "Up For Breakfast" on youtube a few years ago, I think I'm still emotionally scarred from it. I don't think I've EVER heard such horrible lyrics from ANYONE. Sammy Hagar made The Blackeyed Peas sound like Bob Dylan.
But, enough of the Hagar bullshit, back to listening to the song!
By the way, a little birdie told me that the girl in the "Tattoo" video with the black tank top is NOT our DDE contact, but rather she was still in the video a little bit....A certain very pretty photographer is in the video a few times, so you should at least like that!
GEM and WARF have met her, so maybe they know at what point of the video....
This video just doesn't seem to have Dave's stamp on it. He has always been the master of making creative, fun , sexy vids and this one just doesn't have the feel.
Song ROCKS though! More! More! More!
"Why behave in public if you're livin' on a playground?"
I thought the video had Dave's stamp on it big-time. All the dancing and whatnot reminded me of the 'Jump' video, which was DLR's video directing debut, no? A couple of times there it felt like I was watching the BBQ video. I was waiting for that midget Jimmie Briscoe to run by on a little broom horse!
vA, I still owe you bigtime dude.
I also wanna say since you have taken command... the forums have structure. I took me awhile... but I like the organization here with the threads and forums overall.
I know what the line is, and was just trying to make a joke, but failed.
Yea K-Cal 96.7 is rocking it right now. Positive bits from the DJ.Just flicked on the radio to check my local classic rock station,and

It is also getting calls in from WI's 420 Bullet of the day (it was sponsored by a local Tatoo shop of course).
Strong opinions the DJ said she expects.

Yeah send me a pic too!!!!
I want a naked one with you holding some sort of fruit in your hand.
Yeah and who`s that photographer by the way anybody knows???A certain very pretty photographer is in the video a few times, so you should at least like that!
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
The photographer looks fat. Why would VH have a fat chick in their video?
That is why I cannot watch this video...A certain very pretty photographer is in the video a few times, so you should at least like that!
I am heartbroken Van halens' Official photographer won't date me!!! ;(
But like Jay Z says.... on to the next one!!! uh huh uh huh

No you didn't....just leaving the new thing to flame war it's own pantsI know what the line is, and was just trying to make a joke, but failed.(K-Tiny)
It is on ignore, as no Sad Songs Tonight!
Yea I agree with WARF and the others on the video. A collection of shots from Tatoo conventions with them planted singing the song might have been a little more hip.
But the strip joints definitely have a new Anthem. Tatoo Tatoo!

I wasn't referring to your contact. Sorry that wasn't clear. The girl in the video in the black tank is the one who was between WARF and me throughout the show. Before the show started, the black tank top girl had staked out her spot right next to me and after we started chatting and she told me that she's the/a official band photographer, I asked if she's the one seen in the promo video (the one they used to announce the tour) and she blushed and said "yes."
I've only seen the Tattoo vid once, so I"ll watch again and look for your contact (a very cool person, btw!).
I bet you're sexy baybee... maybe you should be in the video standing still like CALIFORNIA GIRLS... as DLR dances around you!!!!This video just doesn't seem to have Dave's stamp on it. He has always been the master of making creative, fun , sexy vids and this one just doesn't have the feel.
Song ROCKS though! More! More! More!
Didn't Dave make love to Alex's wife? Isn't that why Alex has been sore with Dave for all those years?
Why would you have a fat chick in your avatar? Ooh wait, I know......The photographer looks fat. Why would VH have a fat chick in their video?
Oh dear.
It's just bad angles, because she is NOT fat.The photographer looks fat. Why would VH have a fat chick in their video?
Well, now that you're superfamous and in every magazine, maybe now you'll have a shot.
No, Monster is the title of the new KISS album.

Back to topic...
Wonder if Ed licensed that red button from Buckethead and Gibson? ( EDs guitars are Fender based)
Glad to see the reviews are good and only a few seem to be dismissive.

That was a crazy rumor years ago.. I am not sure if there is any truth to it.
Dave probably banged everyones' wife... He's DLR dude!!!
In contrast to a previous poster, I can see why someone wouldn't completely love this song. I'm not sold - though I did spent the dollar forty on it.
After about ten listens, I think the song, as a whole, is pretty okay. Good lyrics, the chorus is stuck in my head, the solo is vintage Ed.
Musically, I just find it a little generic for my taste. Most CVH songs that I really love have a guitar riff that just sinks its hooks into me, that I want to hear time and time again. I'm pretty sure I've heard this riff somewhere, though I can't place it - and I mean other than in "Down In Flames." This song just doesn't have that. Nearly all of the songs (not just VH) that I truly regard as classics have that quality.
All that said, I don't really have any complaints that are too serious. I already like it better than I did the first time I listened to it. I have a feeling I will end up regarding it in the same way that I think of "Cradle" - a decent song, one that I won't turn off should it come up, but not one that I'll flip to when I put the disc in. We'll see.
I will say that, as the single, this gives me hope for the album. Most of the great CVH tunes are the deep cuts, so I don't see a problem with the most commercially-friendly song being a little underwhelming.
While we're on the topic of "Things The Outro Sounds Like," I'm also going to nominate the intro to Aerosmith's "Nobody's Fault" from Rocks.
