Van Halen "Tattoo" review

Van Lee Roth Halen is back.  The classic Van Halen duo of the interspace-ego David Lee Roth and one of the absolute legends on guitar Eddie Van Halen have reunited for their first album in 28 years, "A Different kind of truth" which is out now(With all do respects to Wolfgang, Anthony is greatly missed).  The Album is fantastic but first to the single.  On first listen-It doesn't grab you, but on the 3rd or 4th you can't stop singing it or getting it out  of your head.  You then realise how much you've missed Lee Roth's lyrical style ( Check out the explanation video where he runs through each line of the song, he is a smart one) .  "One my shoulder is the number of the chapter he was in, that number is forever like the struggle here to win" (Slight Hagar!?).  Even more so Eddie's guitar, just brilliant, tasteful, technically amazing, he could well be the best living guitarist.  Alex is no slouch on the drums either. Wolfgang does what he needs to do.  The videoclip isn't anything special but suits.  Dave Lee Roth's still got it just because he can't do the split jumps.  It's good to have them back!!!
