UltimateClassicRock.com is very pleased to bring you an exclusive clip of perhaps the heaviest song to emerge so far from the new Van Halen album, ‘China Town.’ The full version of the track will arrive Feb. 7 along with the rest of ‘A Different Kind of Truth,’ the group’s first album with original lead singer David Lee Rothin 28 years.
This barreling number kicks off with a typically dazzling Eddie Van Halen solo, and keeps the pedal to the floor from there on out. Alex Van Halen and his bassist nephew Wolfgang earn every cent of their paychecks by pounding out this breakneck beat, as David Lee Roth warns about the perils of life in the big city. This is the third new song that doesn’t seem to date back to any unreleased demos, unlike earlier ‘Truth’ songs such as first single “Tattoo” and “Blood and Fire”.
