Van Halen A Different Kind of Truth Tracklisting

Yup, 24/7 Van Halen news coverage up in this bitch. Just released a few hours ago is an alleged tracklisting from the first album with David Lee Roth at the Van Halen helm. That album will be called A Different Kind of Truth and the first single will be called Tattoo. Here is the tracklisting:

Tattoo
She's The Woman
You and Your Blues
China Town
Blood and Fire
Bullethead
As Is
Honeybabysweetiedoll
The Trouble With Never
Outta Space
Stay Frosty
Big River
Beats Workin'

I don't think we really get a feel for the album, any album, through tracklisting. But it is the best reason to post this 30 second clip I found on YouTube. The 30 second preview is a supposed clip of Tattoo, the first single.


Um, ok. Certainly that wasn't David Lee Roth channeling Lou Reed was it? The mix is all wrong, I can barely hear the guitar work or the hell the music at all. And David Lee Roth sounds like Ben Sommer. What the fuck is going on here?

When I heard the news of a Roth/Van Halen album I was excited....well Dr. Frankenfurter saw me


But I am very apprehensive right now. This is only a 30 second rip and I can not, journalistic integrity yo, slam this entire record on a 30 second sampling. I am apprehensive about it now.

    The guitars are way up in the mix. The reason you don't hear "guitar work" is that there's no lead guitar in the clip, that's all.

    Craig, I agree with your take. Kool and the Gang as openers? They are not giving us much reason to be hopeful at this point and that's all we've had for years.
