Wednesday Video Spotlight: Van Halen’s “Tattoo”
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Van Halen released Tuesday the music video to their new single “Tattoo,” the first single from their upcoming album “A Different Kind of Truth.”
“A Different Kind of Truth,” Van Halen’s first album of new material with original frontman David Lee Roth since 1984, is due out Feb. 7.
The band is planning a tour in support of the new album that will include their first show at Tulsa’s BOK Center on May 1.
Ticket prices and sale date for the Tulsa show have not yet been announced, according to an arena spokeswoman. R&B group Kool & the Gang will be special guest for the Tulsa date.
Van Halen is legendary for its multiple personnel changes, and its lineup has featured two other lead singers: Sammy Hagar (1985-96) and Gary Cherone (1996-99).
Like the band’s 2007-08 trek, this tour will feature three-fourths of the original lineup: Roth, guitarist Eddie Van Halen, his drummer brother Alex Van Halen, plus Eddie Van Halen’s song Wolfgang Van Halen on bass. Original bassist Michael Anthony was dropped from the band in 2006.

So psyched!!!!! I liked this song when I first heard — and then it grew on me — and then I realized what the lyrics meant — and now I love it… It’s clever and I hope it breaks up some of the dreck on the radio.
