Van Halen’s new album, “A Different Kind Of Truth,” is out now.
The band has released another in their “song by song” video series; this one features David Lee Roth discussing the rocking new track, “China Town.”
“I take snapshots for the song ‘China Town,’” explains Roth, “that are right out of the headlines. ‘Headless body found in topless bar.’ Well, right away, we have a setting. “Warring clans in lowered cars.’ Everybody’s kung fu fighting now. It’s kind of hard to tell where the movie leaves off and the newsreel kicks in.”
Van Halen take their show on the road starting February 18 in Louisville, Kentucky, with Kool & The Gang as openers.
