It really does suck. Nothing worse than a band that doesn't know when it's time to give up and they passed that point years ago.

Dreadful. Positively dreadful. "Van Halen III" is starting to look good by comparison...

heard it on the radio a coupla days ago. i was not feeling it.  They really miss michael anthony and I have been listening to Halen since the debut 8 track.  i will NEVER forget where i was when i first heard it.  They started sucking around the 1984 album.   Tattoo does not redeem them, but anything is better than Van Hagar.

Why would they give up? Their last tour grossed over 100 million and so will the 2012 tour.That's some serious fucking money!! It's not like their playing casinos for 1000 people or so like most of their peers, there selling out arenas.

Mike didn't write shit, never did, barely even played on the Gary Cherone album, Ed did most of the bass lines. Check out the cafe wha link, Wolfgang is a chip off the ol Van Halen block. While I agree that the new single ain't so shit hot, the album will have some smoking tracks.

It's hard to hate on a band with such a kickass history....But I'm going to anyway. They've been a joke for 20 yrs now.

Yes I agree that Mike was solid and shit, his specialty was locking in with whatever Al played.  I'm a fan of Chickenfoot as well.

I don't think Mike misses VH check this shit out, Mike gettin on a grove with Chad Smith.

Good for them ... so they've managed to latch onto a group of people with so little taste that they'll shell out money for everything they shit out, no matter how bad it is. My comment had nothing to do with money, I'm talking about good music and artistic integrity ... something VH know NOTHING about.

Since when has artistic integrity have anything to do with rock'n'roll? Rock music is about volume and attitude, nothing more. From Chuck Berry to the Stones to AC/DC to G'N"R. You must be a stuck up Coldplay fan or some shit. There is no such thing as good taste or bad taste, just your taste.

No, I'm definitely not a Coldplay fan but the fact that there even are Coldplay fans kind of kills your "no good taste or bad taste" argument. I think bands like that embody everything that's wrong with the music business these days. They're a perfect example of a group with no artistic integrity whatsoever. Nothing but a bunch of soulless plagiarizing whiners.

My tastes run towards punk/thrash/metal with some industrial thrown in. I'm far from a music snob and believe me, I understand volume and attitude. I used to love Van Halen. Still do love those first few albums. But really ... they should have called it quits long ago. You mentioned the Stones ... they haven't released a decent song in over 25 years and they're nothing but a nostalgia act at this point. Is that what you want for Van Halen? Enough's enough already. They need to call it quits before they tarnish their legacy even further. Crap like "Tattoo" is indefensible.

Huge metal fan also, but at the end the day those bands are called "classic" for a reason and there's a huge demand for them to play there hits live. Go to the show when they hit your town, they still can kill it live. Besides who else tours these days that are worth seeing. I'm pushing 40 and damn seen every killer hard rock/ metal band a few times over.  Slayer, Metallica, Slipknot, Iron Maiden, Tool, Pantera, AC/DC, you name it. The newer metal acts don't do much for me, they all sound the same and have a faceless front man. Who puts out good albums anymore anyways? Pretty much nobody which is why the music biz is in the shitter.

Thats all Dave, he loves shit like Kool & The Gang, on the last tour one of the Marley kids opened, Ziggy I think, If you can find a copy of his book Crazy from the heat, he talks about growing up listning to all the Motown hits on the radio. Where do you think he gets his style from.

Iron Maiden is still putting out good albums and they have not lost anything live.

It's hard to argue with any of that. I suppose subpar new material from classic bands is the price we pay for the chance to still see those bands live. It still hurts though ... it's like watching Muhammad Ali at the end of his career.
