Preview Van Halen's New Single 'Blood and Fire'
ROLLING STONE
Van Halen's new album A Different Kind of Truth will be released in less than two weeks. In the meantime, here's an exclusive 90-second preview of the LP's second single "Blood and Fire." The disc's first single "Tattoo" was based off the group's 1977 unreleased track "Down In Flames"; another track on the album, "She's The Woman," which the group played live at their recent secret show in New York City, was originally recorded as a demo in 1976.
So we offer a challenge to Van Halen's hardcore fans: Does this sound like a completely new song, or do you hear anything that sounds like an old riff or melody? To be very clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a band using old material on a new album. Groups do it all the time and you can't plagiarize from yourself. In fact, many of Van Halen's most famous songs (including "Right Now") took elements out of older material. We're just curious to know how much of this Van Halen album was created with that process.

I'd post the link but I'm not sure whether or not in contravenes any deals the webbies have made?
First impressions: cool chorus (really cool); not sure about the lyric; glad that it's not pastiche.

Oh, Chef beat us all to it anyhow!

E- Jesus . Playing both sides because he didnt understand the argument in the first place
Man, after a few listens - that is catchy as FUCK!! This is going to be a killer album! It really does sound like it could be on 1984... only VH can play a clean tone like that and still have it rock. Classic Al just pounding away on the crash! Beautiful!!
This is awesome. Great bass by Wolfie. I think we are in for a treat.
I love it.
After some careful and considered deliberation, I have determined that I will ABSOLUTELY be taking Wednesday, February 8th off from work. It is highly unlikely I will entertain any thoughts of sleep the previous evening.
ROTH ON, YOU FUCKERS!
Shit man, I may stack up my vacation time and take the whole month of February off.....I am going to be completely distracted at work anyway.After some careful and considered deliberation, I have determined that I will ABSOLUTELY be taking Wednesday, February 8th off from work. It is highly unlikely I will entertain any thoughts of sleep the previous evening.
ROTH ON, YOU FUCKERS!
Wow!
Like the beginning and how the drums come in........
Sounds like it would fit on DD or 1984.
Al can still smoke 'em.
These 90 seconds are more interesting than the whole of "Tattoo".
Definitely a more complex song structure and the syncopated intro where the drums kick in, kinda threw me off on the first go around.........
look at all of the people here tonight ....like it
fuck your fucking framing
Definately from Wild Life soundtrack. The whole track below wasn't in the movie, just a section. Sounds great with Dave !
Shit thats were ive heard it ..ripley ... always thought the tune was good , sounds killer with dave on
Am buzzed about this album
So it is "Ripley"...which Ed did on his stereo Ripley guitar.
Cool.

Always loved that little riff & tune from Eddie. So fucking stoked it's getting a proper release with DAVE making it perfect. Happy days my boys! Happy days indeed!

Fuck yeah. This one did not have to grow on me at all, I liked it from the get go, but after hearing it 50 times I do even like it better somehow!! Happy fucking times bitches!! I feel fucking 13 again waiting for the follow up to 1984 and its all going down!! haha!!

At first I say its sounds like a Diver Down tune.
Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
Couldn't agree with you more.....has a Diver Down/1984 feel
Is there a preview clip of fat-fucking-clown saying it could be better yet?
By the way, the preview proves that the asswipe that posted this piece of shit a few weeks ago is not only a troll, but a self-serving twit as well.
Naw. After this leaked out VH had to go back and re write and record the song
Anyway, I dig it. Has a Top Jimmy vibe to me. In fact I love it!! I was hoping Ed would not use a lot of that muffled down clean tone though, the kind used on Balance and 3.
Definitely a Top Jimmy feel to Blood and Fire and The Trouble With Never just ripped my fuckin head off after a 30 second clip!!!! Damn......THIS is what we have been missing all these years!!!! Classic lyrics..."When you turn on the stereo does it return the favor" and classic VH background vocals.

-I KNOW- that will be on my portable player as I chill my scooter down the highway come spring time!
Nice!
God I hope so........
His opinion means so much to me
Always loved that tune and always thought it would be a bitch to lay words over. Leave it to the one and only to pull it off! Is it me or does his voice sound a pinch younger here? Could be from '00? I don't care really. I love it.
I like it, kinda expected to hear Eddie Money in there at one point.
WE'RE ON A MISSION FROM ROTH.
Shit, you're right. Definitely a little bit of "Two Tickets To Paradise" in there!
They came through blood and fire, for sure!
Thank you Van Halen for more blues skies and sunshine. I got a tan just from listening to the clip!
Does anyone else have a huge shit eating grin plastered to their face right now? I feel like a friggin teenager again......unbelievable. Is it summertime yet cuz Van Halen always feels like summertime to me.
I know I do!!
So bad I want to get my teeth whitened.
By the time the concerts get rolling it will be as good as summer. This stuff is all making winter nonexistant.Is it summertime yet cuz Van Halen always feels like summertime to me.
Oh dear.
Prefer to hear the new album in it's entirety (duh) but I can't resist the snippets.
