I don't think you'll get flamed for expressing an opinion.
Can you elaborate on 'boring'?

The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
Just the whole slow thumping BG synths felt like it kinda dragged down the song . Its sorta like the bass beginning of "'devil" but if they had that bit running throughout the song.
Best way I can explain my feeling is like how I was hyped to hear "Me Wise Magic" because it was a different approach for Dave , but its still was a 'Halen rocker...but was a bit underwhelmed by " Can't get this stuff".
It could be i was just so impressed by the how cool "STW" sounded at Cafe Wha...its a high bar to meet ...
It might be a great song if I heard the whole, but I just think that for them to knock everyone speechless they should lead with their first single being as badass as possible.

Sometimes it takes more hearing to appreciate...anyways we will get 11 more songs shortly...Tattoo maybe inline with the like of DTNA and I`ll wait...After 28 years anything will do for me, I like She`s the woman.
I will give you this K-tuna,You got balls
I really love you baby, I love what you've got
Let's get together we can, Get hot
From the preview, the pace of the song is more akin to You're No Good (Down in Flames), etc.
Cool.

Thanks a million to VH-UK for the link to the NZ site. I purchased it there with credit card and it worked just fine. Could not wait until tomorrow in the age of Internet when it was available for purchase legally (and all the regional restrictions are just nonsense).
The song is EXCELLENT! The 30-second preview clip was promising but this is a lot better. Takes the best parts of Down in Flames and then improves significantly. Great groove, strong/catchy chorus, best Eddie riffs in a long time, long solo, good lyrics, outstanding production all around. Let's see tomorrow how it looks with the video and all.
Hopefully this will bring the boys back to charts/radio/TV/YouTube/etc. for the general public too rather than just the core fans. Cannot wait for the full album and to see the guys in concert...
Not trying to be an apologist here but......
They may have felt the need to have a Jump type song as a single because that was their most successful single to date. Either pressure from themselves or from the record company.
Regrettably, the casual fan or music listening population, probably knows Jump better than anything else the band has done
Song is still available from the NZ site selling it earlier - also number 1 in their download chart!
Boring is the last word i'd use to describe it...
I don`t mind the Jump, DTNA and such songs if thats what brings the chicks to the concert for our enjoyment...
Sacrifices have to be made.........
If you really look at it.....this band has been all over the charts as far a musical styles....they've done everything from Barbershop Quartet, Swing, and all points in between. So having a catchy pop tune is nothing new.
BTW, I'm not comparing the new single to Jump.....just the fact it seems from a 30 sec clip that it's more pop than CVH rip your head off rock.......who knows! I'm hoping I have to eat a huge bowl of crow tomorrow!

DAVE.......the FARKING MAN!!!!
I don't compare it to something...just take it as what it is...aged music from an aged band...I don't expect songs from guys pushing 60 that you can jump off a drumraiser to...have an open mind...

I hear you and I have never been disappointed by VH records or shows with DLR.
Just downloaded the thing from the NZ site.................
gonna take a few spins............
liking it BETTER than MWM..........almost as much as CGTSNM...............
Would love to see the lyrics............
BAND sounds inspired.........
it "grooves"...and we KNOW who's responsable for that!!!
I've said it before but......I'm just hoping for a mature sound with a nod to the past but not trying to be a parody of their former selves.........why remake Fair Warning or try to write WACF II. It's been done and when bands try to do that they almost always fail.
It says it doesn't take paypal or international credit cards....how did you purchase??
Just purchased the full length "Tattoo".....shit rocks. I wasn't expecting So this is love, Fools, or D.O.A. It's Van Halen for the new millenium and it rocks. Dave's voice sounds friggin great, Ed's tone has changed for the better, and his solo is killer. I'm happy with the tune. I'm thinking it's a radio friendly tune...not that I care if it's played on the radio or not cuz once the complete cd comes out there probably won't be a need for me to listen to fm radio, sports talk radio or anything else for a while. Interesting to hear how the tune ends with a quasi- version of the original intro to Down In Flames (your no good)....very cool stuff.
Sounds good!
I'm not paying anything for something I can hear for free on the radio tomorrow. I'll wait till the damn album comes out. Been waiting this long a few more days won't kill me.
amen!
Nice work Matt, you were correct and currently jamming to Tattoo as I type!
I'm painfully jealous of everyone getting to download / hear the tune in its entirety....I'm at work. No downloading allowed here.
