cool, ive been waiting to preview the other songs, thanks.
Listening to this today. It’s pretty heavy. Heavier than anything I’ve heard from them before, but in saying that I’m not the biggest VH fan. ‘She’s the Woman’ and ‘China Town’ got balls.
Apparently they aren’t even new songs:
[i]Plain and simple, A Different Kind of Truth is a different kind of comeback record. For this long-awaited disc, singer David Lee Roth and his clan of bandmates — guitar hero Eddie, wild-man drummer Alex and Eddie’s precocious son Wolfgang replacing bassist non grata Michael Anthony — didn’t sit down and write 13 songs from scratch. Instead, they raided the vault for unreleased demos and rarities from the ’70s and ’80s, which they revamped, recut and refurbished with new lyrics, melodies and even titles in most cases.
Nothing wrong with that. Bands do it all the time. The Stones’ Tattoo You was similarly assembled from leftovers and outtakes, and nobody calls shenanigans on that. Besides, what would you rather hear: Old Van Halen or new Van Halen? Thought so.[/i]
I’m not a fan, so I couldn’t care either way. But this is a semi cool idea.
Heh, not that I need to say it but…Al…you listening???
