They did not play it often I agree since yesterday, but the broadcast history is screwd up, yesterday they played tattoo several times but its not evenon their schedule.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.
Thank God for iTunes and YouTubeNow who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?Comment

Glad to have contributed to that. Bought it from itunes, put it on a cd an had it on repeat on my car stereo for the best part of the day. Love it, love it, love it!!!!! Not a clue if they played it on dutch radio of course but i'll bomb the most likely radiostations with requests later this week, just wanted to enjoy this for now. It sounds really great on a car stereo, try it!Comment

That said............ I just had to comment on the FM radio station comments. Trust me you guys have it good. The local station here, FOX 102.3 has to be one of the worst excuses for a radio station. They call themselves "Classic Rock".
Its one of those stations that when you turn it on its the same dam song you heard the last time you turned it on. No matter who it be, Stones, ZZ top, Who, its the same dam song EVERY TIME. Even the fukin commercials are the same ones that have been running for years. The DJ has that crazy deep,voice with tons of reverb that Dave made fun of in a vid I saw. You know that ones they use for monster truck events and rock concerts back in the day.
And lastly........ No shit. I have a old classic 1981 car with its stock radio still in it. Thats the only time I listen to FM radio. At least once a week I take it for a good 30 mile drive and I rarely even get to listen to any music. Its ALL FUKIN COMMERCIALS! That drive takes me a good 20 minutes and there are times when its all commercials!
Rant over. On "Tattoo" From a old school hard rock guitar player for 30 years perpective I have mixed feelings. I would have been happier their opening release been faster,heavier and more guitar focused instead of a what made marketing sense. Its obvious Dave has alot of control now with this song showcasing his always clever use of words. His painfull sounding bridge right before the solo does make me cringe a little hahahah. He is the Evh of words but alot of people just do not get it. Fuck em. Hell for 10 years I thought "Thought youd never miss me til I got a big city address" was "till I got to the back seat of your dress".Comment

Dave, Ed and Al's snare...
...in 2012, and that's pretty f**king cool in my books. After a ton of listens, I'm hooked and love the tune. I'm looking very forward to kicking off my show this Friday afternoon with 'Tattoo', then concluding with it as well. I (like the rest of us) have been waiting a real long time for this stuff, so I'm gunna shove it down as many people's throats as I can!
On my way in to get myself a tattoo today I stopped by the pizza joint to grab a slice, and wouldn't ya know it 'Tattoo' was crankin' through the Pizza Parlour system. Twas a sign from Ra.
2012 and we've got new Van Halen. Thank you Wolf for kicking your dad's ass into shape and getting thee man back into the fold. Thank you very much. I can't say that enough. I'm so very looking forward to Feb 7th.
Amen. We've all been saved,
The Reverend

I personally have no use for iTunes and no plans on installing, setting up payment option, etc for one damn song. Besides that, I have mp3 credits on Amazon from previous CD purchases. Is this really an Amazon screw up or some exclusive deal with iTunes for the single release in the US? Who knows, but at this point I may just wait for the full CD release. I've already heard the song and seen the video and can listen again anytime on YouTube.Comment
