New Van Halen? David Lee Roth. New Video: Tattoo

Van Halen returns with Roth in a new music video

Feels a bit strange, doesn’t it? Hot for teacher rings differently when sung by David Lee Roth and Val Halen now. New music video, new album on the way. Concert tour is scheduled. Van Halen is back (again).

The new music video isn’t breaking any new ground, I suppose (did we think it would?). It’s chill; watching a concert rehearsal, maybe. (At least David isn’t trying to jump in the air and do the splits for still shots – might hurt himself… sorry, that was a low blow). However, I can’t help but still give a nod of respect for the original Van Halen crew (but wait… who’s that young kid?… oh yeah… ANOTHER Van Halen… must be nice to have an in in the music industry like daddy Eddie – but he’s also pretty damn good.)

No reason to wait: here’s the new Val Halen video, Tattoo.

I don’t know about you, but it feels to me like Van Halen has died and born again at least three or four times now. How this band keeps coming back I’ll never know, but like I said, I totally respect them for it.

Early / Classic Van Halen Bio from classicvanhalen.com:

After more than two decades of playing sold-out concert halls, selling millions of albums and enduring various lineup changes and solo projects, Van Halen is recognized as one of the most resilient and successful rock bands to emerge from the 1970s.

Eddie and Alex Van Halen were raised in Pasadena, the children of Dutch immigrants who immigrated to California in 1967. The Van Halen brothers grew up taking classical piano lessons, switching to guitar (Eddie) and drums (Alex) as teenagers. In 1974, they hooked up with David Lee Roth (vocals) and Michael Anthony (bass), while gigging around town in their band Mammoth. Within a few years, they had become one of the most popular draws on the Los Angeles scene. Fans packed L.A.’s smoky rock clubs to check out Eddie’s unconventional guitar riffs and Roth’s over-the-top showmanship.

The band got a break in 1976 when Kiss bassist Gene Simmons noticed them at a local club and financed a recording session for the band. On the strength of Simmons’ recommendation, as legend has it, Van Halen was signed to Warner Bros.

Their debut album, Van Halen, was released in 1978 and included the hit singles “Runnin’ With the Devil” and a cover of the Kinks’ “You Really Got Me.” Eddie Van Halen took electric guitar technique to new heights with his patented two-handed tapping and pull-off effects, while Roth’s tongue-in-cheek histrionics proved to be a refreshing alternative in an industry chock full of self-important rock stars.
