I'll be waiting till tomorrow as well.
Who remembers who read "Tattoo" on Dave's and Ed's lips in the promo clip?
I mean, there were two us if I remember well, but I can't recall who exactly...

1st full listen... Kick ASS tune!!
Got that classic Van Halen/Diamond Dave vibe all over it.
The bass work is rock solid. You don't even notice the synth fills... way back in the mix. Drums have the pure Brown Sound... first snare beat is pure Alex. Ed's guitar work is stellar, smooth, buttery and killer ballsy tone!!
Dave's melodies and lyrical work is some of his best ever. Creates a visual landscape from the lyrics... salt of the earth type of vibe.
Backing vocals are completely new sounding... very smooth and much more of a low register range. No one is trying to replicate Mike's backing vocals. Still has that VH pop feel... but totally new sound to it!!!

I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I've found a review on Ultimate Classic Rock. Probably the first one. It basically says that the song is a "grower".

So, I started to listen to it with headphones on (the proper way). First thoughts were that it's definitely their pop song on this album, but that's okay. Everyone was doing their normal good job; dependable Al, Wolfgang holding the groove, and Dave being Dave. Then Ed started his solo. HOLY @#$%!!! Welcome back, Ed. I literally got goosebumps, and that doesn't happen very often.

Just got back from New Zealand!
Stepping away from the song itself individually it's the best work I've heard from Dave and Eddie in many years.

I half expected it to play backwards...
OK, so I've bought it.
All I can say after just 1 listening is: VAN HALEN IS BACK !!!!!!!
My hopes were low, but the track is oficially fuckin' awesome.
Man. I'm staying away from this place til midnight. This is killing me!

So, I clicked the link to the NZ store. Error message: This song is not available in the Canadian store, but is available in the NZ store. Click here to change stores. I click...and there is now a message "this song is not available in the NZ store"... Damn you fuckers!!!!

That's a tough call... I'd like to think it has a decent shot at breaking the top 10. But then I just looked at what's there and I'd have to say I don't think it could break the top 20.
Not on the merits of the quality of the new VH tune... there's just not anything topping the charts that ain't Pop, Rap, Crap... except Red Solo Cup at 15.
Definitely could kill anything in the Rock categories... but ain't gonna compete with LMAO, Rhianna, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars... shit Pop.

I've been surprised before. There's some genuine interest in this song, so we'll see. It definitely won't if everyone buys it from NZ first.
The new #1 single in NZ this week? TATTOO FROM VAN HALEN!!!
Dan (01-09-2012)
Just got it. Bad Ass Jam. The HALEN is back!!!!

But I do a search on the NZ site...and there it is. Too bad the credit card is maxed out!
I'm betting the folks who run that site turned off their filter for purchases outside of NZ by about mid-morning our time... I'm sure their monitoring stats saw the spike, but then saw the reject rates... they said fuck it... we're losing money here and told old Joe the back room to quietly turn off the filtering.
As long as the band knows people are buying this and not stealing it, I'm OK with that.
The money's going to the band anyways......regardless if I download it from NZ or America!
