New Van Halen

What do yo guys think?

I dig it!! Doesn't sound like what most thought it would, but that doesn't mean It isn't any good.
Classic Alex on the drums.. No one sounds like him. Eddies solo is nice. Has some flash but not over the top. Everyone hates on Wolfie but I think the kid has ability. I watched some video from the Cafe Wha? show in NYC and he can play and does pretty good backup vocals. David Lee Roth is David Lee Roth what can you say. I'm looking forward to the album. 2.7.12

I didn't care for it.

Dave sounded like he did on A Little Ain't Enough and everything he did after that: like he's trying to sound like David Lee Roth - in other words, it sounded forced, not natural like he used to.

The song itself was average and the solo was blah... The video? Looked like old men wishing they were still young. Someone has got to tell Ed he looks good with short hair and stupid as an old man with long hair!

I do applaud them for trying new material, and I look forward to hearing the whole record, but this song I did not care for.

[The Flying Dutchman]

Average song imo but I'm very curious about the new album!
From what I heard from the Cafe Wha? youtube clips Wolfie really stands his man there! Even these high pitch background screams from Michael he nails it all. Though I think it's wrong Michael is not there.....

btw I really like the Cover of the new album:

I think Wolfie is doing a good job also. Funny thing looking at that pic... since then Wolfie has lost a lot of weighta and i think Eddie found it!! lol Pobably a good sign for both.

I heard a podcast talking about the Cafe Wha? show and the guy on that said that When Alex and Eddies mother died Michael Anthony didn't come to the funeral and that they were really upset about that. I suppose maybe Mike was kind of close to her and they really expected to see him there. Who knows!!

I personally like Ed's tone and solo on the new song, I thought his phrasing was just fabulous, really fat guitar tone to, not vintage Marshall but still great. As far as the song itself, is it "old" Van Halen? No, but you shouldn't expect it to be either, I like it okay, Dave is Dave both vocally and lyrically. At least its a good, honest hard rock song with a guitar solo, that's rare these days, I will definately pick up the album (commodores cover and all, lol!!!) Paul, I'm with you on Ed's hair
