The Real McCoy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice! We'll have to try to meet up before the show!Yea, I'd love to. I know there's nowhere really for us to eat on the way down, maybe you and BS would be up for a little MyGNR get-together and grab some grub before the gig? Damon's is right down the road from the BJC - it really depends what time I get out of work. I'm on-air until 7, so I don't know what time the doors open or what Kool & The Gang go on. Can't say that I'd be too upset if I missed their set, though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all else fails, there's always Subway inside the venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Preview of another new song. I like it!Apparently another one will be featured on CSI tonight according to the VHND.Edit: It won't let me embed the video for some reason. The link should work!

Zeppelin Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Snippet of a new song, 'Blood and Fire'.Sounds very interesting. Sounds like old VH mixed with the guitar sound from the 96 Roth tracks. I like it.EDIT: Paul got to it before me! Damn.

James Bond Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I may have beat you, but you got it to embed whereas I didn't, so you win. I agree. It sounds very old school but with the cleaner guitar tone and production of the '96 songs. . I really don't miss Michael Anthony's harmonies, this sounds great!

I really don't miss Michael Anthony's harmonies, this sounds great!True, there seem to be some good backing vocals during the verses here, which are just like the old days. Roth sounds good. Gives me a Top Jimmy sorta feel. Not full on rock yet, but right on the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Here's a mini-review written by someone who's heard the tracks (not me):1. TattooYou've all heard this one - not a bad groove, would have been better later in the album2. She's The WomanThis should have been the kick off. Old time VH feel, great rocker with DLR on top form3. You and Your BluesSurprisingly laid back. Probably the coolest VH track I've heard. killer solo - didnt think Eddie had this sort of thing in him4. China TownThis seems another oldie - a bit like Running With The Devil, big riff and big vocals. Wolfie does a great job on this one.5. Blood and FireI'm On Fire 2. Fast paced rocker with classic VH sound. Solo could have come from any of the first 2 albums6. BulletheadAnother Full on rocker. Hot For Teacher drum beat. A bit ordinary.7. As IsThis was a real surprise. Could be Hagar era VH. Melodic, slower, understated in many ways. Best track on the album.8. sweetiebabydollDon't like this. More bubblegum DLR solo than VH. Skip9. The Trouble With NeverAnother 'ballad'. Solid but a bit safe.10. Outta SpaceOutta Love more like. It has that groove to it.11. Stay FrostyThis is another I think I've heard before. Women and Children first feel to it.12. Big RiverAnother huge riff and classic Eddy fast solo. DLR on top form13. Beats Workin'Similar feel to She's A Woman. A great ending to a better-than-anticipated album I'd also like to note that while the comments on YouTube are 50/50, the likes outnumber the dis-likes about 5 to 1. I think people who hate on stuff are more prone to bloviate than those who just listen and think "this is a cool song."Coming back to this little review, it seems off. Hearing Blood and Fire's snippet doesn't really make it seem like a full on rocker. Maybe it changes throughout the song, I don't know. But it doesn't give off that vibe. And they call The Trouble With Never a ballad, and the snippet of that song I heard at amazon.co.uk did not sound like a ballad at all.

Borderline awful. Oh well, we've still got She's The Woman to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zint Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think Blood and Fire sounds like a solid track.Yeah I like it!Coulda been a side two vinyl track on one of the early albums or something.I think Dave sounds great on it.I'm still digging what I'm hearing so far.

James Bond Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Indeed! I hate how the sample cuts right as it gets heavy, what a tease. It was just starting to get interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVH really saves Blood and Fire. The Trouble With Never pretty cool, too. Stay Frosty vintage VH, can't wait to hear the rest.Tattoo has the most commercial sound of these tracks so far and coulda been a nice lead off single without the "Tattoooo Tattoooo".

Cosmo Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thing is, even if the rest of the album is awesome, they're gonna be playing like 3 new songs on tour... that kinda sucks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
