The Official Van Halen, "Tattoo" review thread.

[DLR'sCock]

I did they play the same fucking songs everyday.

They played Tattoo a few times yesterday.

[Roth & Roll]

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.

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!

[ThrillsNSpills]

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.

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!

I would not know of Chickenfoot if not for this place, VHND, Links. But Van Halen? Everyone has at least heard of them.
