Los Angeles, Jan 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) For the first time in more than 27 years, The band Van Halen has come out with a song. The group performs with original singer David Lee Roth in a video of the song “Tattoo” which was released online.

The video was released through VEVO on YouTube just after midnight on the 10th of January. The group’s latest album A Different Kind Of Truth is scheduled to be released next month.

The Tattoo video was shot inside the Sunset Strip club The Roxy. The group retains their hallmark in the video which has guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang playing the bass guitar. Another original member of the group Alex Van Halen takes on the drums in the video which offers the first real look of the band ahead of the 7th of February release of their album.

The video is shot in black and white with Roth with his trademark screams.

Despite the effort that they gave the video, MSNBC.com evaluates that, “At the same time, the song’s super-crisp production may not have the bite that some might remember from the 1984 days, and plenty of fans are still stung by the absence of original bassist Michael Anthony.”
