TBH I think they're both as cheesy as each other. It's only context (i.e.. it was the 80s so more acceptable) that saves the first song IMO.

It happens to a lot of bands, but I admit to liking this sort of thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV4V46r_fUc

I grew up on Van Halen and was a bit surprised to see the new track.

It's a grower.. Give it time.

Sammy Hagar must be smiling to himself after listening to that!

[Hoonabator]

With Van Halen you have to go early and play it loud.

1978, the first Album. (Yes they pre date "Jump")

Great solo follow by one of the all time great cocvers

If you don't have this first album then treat yourself.

[MarsellusWallace]

I'll stick to remembering them for this.

One of my favorite songs(and videos) of all time.

A close second?

[Marvindodgers]

Didn't think the new track was too bad to be honest?

[bigd74]

Me too, i think it's great

[Rollin]

I like it too.

Crikey lets just be grateful they are doing some new stuff at last, not mad for the tattoo song,to be its ok, certainly not raving about it... like the lyrics ' from mousewive to mom shell in the time it took to get that new tattoo'...Diamond dave still got the great tongue in cheek lyric gene

Hoping the new album will be a good listen, out 6th feb I think
Still fantastic band live, looking forward to taking in a couple of shows in the usa in a couple of months...saw them few times in 2007 in LA, loved it

Summary.....dont criticize, encourage them, want more stuff out of eddie & dave
