They played Tattoo a few times yesterday.
CHOM 97.7 FM in Montreal can suck a dick - they promote themselves as "The Spirit of Rock", and haven't played "Tattoo" once since it was released yesterday.
Instead, they keep playing the same worn out Sam Roberts, April Wine, and Coldplay songs 10 times a day...cockmunchers.

Thank God for iTunes and YouTube
Just heard it on the local station here in South Florida....Big 105.9 fm !
Christ, how many hours of Def Leppard, Styx and Skynyrd tunes (originally heard in the late seventies and eighties) did you have to sit through? Come to think of it, this actually constitutes a victory of sorts, considering that station's astoundingly narrow and limited playlist!

The only thing that surprised me about this tune is how layered the instruments sound. On some level I was expecting a basic bass drums guitar plus overdubbed lead. Like the old albums. I wish there was a way to listen to it in pure analog too, since the tone of distorted guitar takes a beating. I don't get how anyone could hate the track though.
All our local rock station did was mention that Sammy said the whole album was from the vault. LIKE IT MATTER WHAT SAMMY said! Just play the damned song.
Oh dear.
What a fucking joke!!! Shit talking fag!!
He's not on a level field of play musically so he has to compensate .
I think there is nothing Sammy would love more than to get into a media battle with Dave or Eddie. How better to boost his band's profile and popularity? Only the real hardcore diehards know Chickenfoot, and it has to be *killing* him that (the REAL) VH is getting this avalanche of publicity and his latest release will soon be totally obscured and forgotten.
Chickenfoot has had no airplay in Australia. To this day, I haven't heard one track from either of their albums on mainstream rock radio. Tattoo is not only getting played, but our most popular station, TripleM, actualy played the 30 second sample on Monday and the DJs then discussed the song, the band, even Cafe Wha for about 10 minutes. So just a sample of Tattoo has generated more airplay in Australia than Chickenfoot's entire two albums of material.
There's no doubt this is burning Sammy. He knew the VH album would be strong and that's why he was making so many negative comments over the last 12 months.
WTUE in Dayton played it this morning, about 25 minutes after Bob and Tom signed off. They backed it up with Dance The Night Away, after mentioning the tour starting down the road in Louisville... Very Cool!
3rd time I hear it so far.. It'll come don't worry! The big train is coming to town ///
I would not know of Chickenfoot if not for this place, VHND, Links. But Van Halen? Everyone has at least heard of them.
Ok glad to hear. Must have missed it.
=VH= will save the world in 2012 ///
Tattoo is definitely an attempt to appeal to a broad demographic. They are going for new younger generation fans, as well as satisfying at least most of the diehards. This song is perfect for that. It sounds like Classic Van Halen but in 2012 - if you know what I mean. It's catchy, hard and fun with cool, edgey lyrics. Younger people who like classic hard rock will love Tattoo and probably buy the album and eventually get introduced to the six-pack.
As far as the younger generation of fans go... I'm not sure as to the extent that Jimmy Iovine of Interscope is going to be involved in American Idol this season, but if he is, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he gets VH (most likely Dave) in there as a mentor during one of the weeks along with a subsequent live performance. Steven would be psyched to have VH on the show.
A Chickenfootnote in rock history.
And that's why Tattoo is the single, and not something harder hitting, like Bullethead....

I was thinking the same thing. Kiss, Prince, Zakk Wylde, Judas Priest all did the show, why not VH? I wouldn't do it, the show sucks, but if VH wanted to broaden their fan base past the likes of us, I bet they do it.
The show debuts next week, buy Feb. 7th the should be in Hollywoood. I wouldn't rule it out...

Yeah I'm seeing now why they went with Tattoo. But fuck, I can't wait to hear BULLETHEAD!
fuck american idol, thats a fag show, and i do not want vh to be apart of that. they have one of the biggest fan base in the world
shit the youtube video already got a million views in a day in a half

Very nice!
It really is #1!!??
Hahaha! Great post tjvhou812!
I saw they were #19 in the itunes top 100 chart. IMO, that's a remarkable feat. Van Halen with Roth in the top 40 in 2012... that's just awesome!
Or if Dave did Dancing with the stars......
They did not play it often I agree since yesterday, but the broadcast history is screwd up, yesterday they played tattoo several times but its not evenon their schedule.
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
Note, that's the ROCK chart, not the overall chart....
i just posted on youtube about a half hour ago that tattoo would hit number 1 in the rock charts
bring on the halen!!!!!!!!
Glad to have contributed to that. Bought it from itunes, put it on a cd an had it on repeat on my car stereo for the best part of the day. Love it, love it, love it!!!!! Not a clue if they played it on dutch radio of course but i'll bomb the most likely radiostations with requests later this week, just wanted to enjoy this for now. It sounds really great on a car stereo, try it!

That said............ I just had to comment on the FM radio station comments. Trust me you guys have it good. The local station here, FOX 102.3 has to be one of the worst excuses for a radio station. They call themselves "Classic Rock".
Its one of those stations that when you turn it on its the same dam song you heard the last time you turned it on. No matter who it be, Stones, ZZ top, Who, its the same dam song EVERY TIME. Even the fukin commercials are the same ones that have been running for years. The DJ has that crazy deep,voice with tons of reverb that Dave made fun of in a vid I saw. You know that ones they use for monster truck events and rock concerts back in the day.
And lastly........ No shit. I have a old classic 1981 car with its stock radio still in it. Thats the only time I listen to FM radio. At least once a week I take it for a good 30 mile drive and I rarely even get to listen to any music. Its ALL FUKIN COMMERCIALS! That drive takes me a good 20 minutes and there are times when its all commercials!
Rant over. On "Tattoo" From a old school hard rock guitar player for 30 years perpective I have mixed feelings. I would have been happier their opening release been faster,heavier and more guitar focused instead of a what made marketing sense. Its obvious Dave has alot of control now with this song showcasing his always clever use of words. His painfull sounding bridge right before the solo does make me cringe a little hahahah. He is the Evh of words but alot of people just do not get it. Fuck em. Hell for 10 years I thought "Thought youd never miss me til I got a big city address" was "till I got to the back seat of your dress".
...in 2012, and that's pretty f**king cool in my books. After a ton of listens, I'm hooked and love the tune. I'm looking very forward to kicking off my show this Friday afternoon with 'Tattoo', then concluding with it as well. I (like the rest of us) have been waiting a real long time for this stuff, so I'm gunna shove it down as many people's throats as I can!
On my way in to get myself a tattoo today I stopped by the pizza joint to grab a slice, and wouldn't ya know it 'Tattoo' was crankin' through the Pizza Parlour system. Twas a sign from Ra.
2012 and we've got new Van Halen. Thank you Wolf for kicking your dad's ass into shape and getting thee man back into the fold. Thank you very much. I can't say that enough. I'm so very looking forward to Feb 7th.
Amen. We've all been saved,
