The Official Van Halen, "Tattoo" review thread.

[Pink Spider]

Good point.

And thanks mod!

[Pink Spider]

Also, I didn't mean anything by the "official" title. I meant official in the sense that it's not an unofficial fan made video, in case anyone is too dumb to get that.

One of the mods can change the name to "Tattoo video", if it's a problem.

I like it!

What a kick ass thing to wake up to! Love the song, love the video, anyone taking any bets on how many youtube views it will get today? Would think at least 500,000....

Holy shit this tune sounds great with my Bose headphones. Getting ready to go out of town and bought the tune from iTunes earlier. It rips. Ed's guitar is ripping.. You really can hear Wolf's bass too. I swear anyone could recognize Alex's snare a mile away. I'm really happy with this tune..

My time zones are out of whack apparently.

But, I posted at 08:18 AM and Hardrock69 posted at 08:35 AM.
I honestly don't care if it's merged. But, how are people going to see the video when it's 5 pages back?

Well...you got a sticky out of it, so I guess you win!

So this thread will end up having many pages. Please make sure to re-post the video at least every 5 pages!! That is the burden you assume as the author of a stickied thread...

And my apologies to VA for referring to him as a "mod" in a previous post.

He is the webmaster of all webmasters...

[Seshmeister]

not exactly sure either, but since the video is publicly available, I don't see a real problem

It's not ok. Stop it or we will have to ban you.

Video is a little underwhelming. The lyrics font even match the footage half the time

It would be nice if the video production was as tight as the music, but it is what it is.

It's not the singing part that bothers me, but it would have been cool if Dave's spoken part was handled correctly.

There were some flubs in "Jump" and it's considered a classic....so don't sweat it.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to share this with you, they just played Tattoo for the first time on my fm radio station and they had people calling in for their impression of the new song ...guess what none of the mofo liked it and there even was this guy claiming he is a fan of vh saying it was only noise!!!!

I SAY FUCK THOSE BITCHES... THE TATTOO SONG IS VERY FINE WITH ME. VERY GROOVY SONG. THANK YOU DLR/VAN HALEN!!!!

[neuralfraud]

hmm...
I think the solo sounds awfully like his ernieball+5150 rig - could just be the harmonizer setup will make anything sound like that... just very soft and lush but doesn't match the rest of the song's tone..

i might just be crazy though!

Either they expect Jump II or Light Up The Sky II as the first single...

All is right in the world. Get out of my f**king way today. "Mousewife to Momshell"?!?!?... brilliant. Who else could think that up?

More please, sir.
