Van Halen reveal preview of ‘China Town’ from upcoming album

Van Halen fans can get a preview of yet another new song from the band’s forthcoming album A Different Kind of Truth – the track “China Town.”

Posted exclusively today (1/27/12) at UltimateClassicRock.com, “China Town” is probably the hardest rocking cut to surface from “Truth” thus far.

The track moves along at lightning speed behind original singer David Lee Roth, who wails about the perils of big city life.

This is the 3rd new track to emerge this week, with “Stay Frosty” having debuted on the CBS television series CSI on Wednesday, along with “Blood And Fire,” which fans can check out at RollingStone.com.

The comeback album, set for release on Feb 7 (2/7/12) is VH’s first with Diamond Dave since the band’s classic album 1984.
