CVH music always had the uncanny ability to hit the sweet spot, ya know? I think Tattoo does just that. IMO of course.
Maybe in 28 years time everyone will think its a classic. LOL=V V=
ole No.1 The finest

Lol yeah! just go back in time when Jump and I'll wait came up I don't remember the chronology of the singles back then but I'm sure a surprise it was....And no I'm not comparing Tattoo to them two. and no classics either for me...but what was the reaction back then from the die hard rockers...???? Lets give them sometime... they probably know what they're doing lolNow who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?Comment

Guys...to those who haven't really jived on this tune yet. Let me say this. It took me 20 years before I truly appreciated Push Comes To Shove. And then for a period of 2 years it was my all time favorite song. That's the thing with VH. The songs are constantly moving around on your like-love list.
by the way, right now it's currently Sinners Swing.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

I bought the single.
Also, I really don't need Dave to tell me about the Unions ( their purpose is fine but their leadership are thugs and bullies ) and his politics. ( BTW---this verse wasn't in the preview or else I would've brought it up then and to be fair , I don't wanna hear any musicians, writers, sports figures or actors politics--- I listen to music to get away from that crap).
:P
Does Dave right now have his back against the record machine just because he is singing "Jump"?
Makes me wonder if people are even required to take literature classes anymore....Last edited by SunisinuS; 01-10-2012, 02:09 PM.Can't Control your Future. Can't Control your Friends.

Sun is in us. same forwards as backwards. Yeah, it fucked with me for a while too. As for the union verse, meh. You may be overthinking it. But yes, I seriously hate when musicians or actors get political. STFU & do your craft. But this verse doesn't bother me. I see it as more of describing a tattoos importance to some people rather than the tramp stamp for fun. You know, union, military, gang, etc....Those type of tattoos carry a lot more meaning than the drunken Vegas one weekend Sonic The Hedgehog smoking a bong tat on your chest. (Yes, a guy I know had that done. Chronic the Hemphog)“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Here just sing this: "My Uncle Tuna Had a tatoo...it said I love Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity too!" Problem Solved for you. Or like Sadaist said, make up your own Tatoo story there, like a gang one
We Golden?
Stay Frosty!

I like it. It's good...
Is it six pack good? No, but it's better than jump, but not as good as say, Thug Pop, for instance...
It kinda has a solo Dave vibe to it, mostly due to the lack of Michael Anthony...
And it is a reworked Down In Flames right down to the guitar solo...
But it's a good catchy tune with cool lyrics...
I give it an eight because it has a good beat and I can dance to it...
