Title: Where to go with the first single
Post by TomOAus on Mar 5^th, 2005, 2:43am

Which way do u think the guys will go with the new single. Obviously it will be radio friendly, but will they go down the path that lifehouse have and write a really good ballad, or go for a more hard rock approach. IMO a ballad would probly get better sales, but i would like a heavier song.
Maybe something in between like here is gone.

It'll likely be something soft.

Their first single is never ballad...something inbetween..probably Slide or Here Is Gone-esque

I think they'll go for something kind of like Broadway...Everyone liked it but a lot of people paid no attention to the lyrics. I know a lot of people who were like "Oh, I love that song! Broadway is dark tonight...dum de dum dum...Broadway is dark tonight!"

It's kind of sad, but it happens. I think it will be something like that or, like was said above a few times, Her is Gone. ;D

Well it's not gonna be released here anyway so it makes no difference to me! ::) Stupid damn country.

My all time dream is for one of Robby's songs to be released as a single. It's not gonna happen though. I heard there was some kind of campaign for 'You never know' to be released but I guess it must have failed...

They have already released their first single-Give A Little Bit!
And i'm sure it'll be on the new album but i do see what you guys are sayin a song off the new album that we have not heard!
I'm sure it'll do really well!!!!!!

I thought GALB wouldnt be on the new record, i was under the impression it was a promotional song to go wtih the dvd release. I would be a bit dissapointed if GALB was the lead single to the new album cuz it would take a little bit of excitment out of it, the first single is always good.

Well i mean because it did so well for so long that they were gonna put it on the new record.

I know i'm going off topic but who thinks they should take a lot of their older songs like we are the normal so far away 2 days in feb. fallin' down etc....
and rerelease them as singles and i think they would do really good.

I think America is leaning a bit toward metal nowadays. Stuff like Pantera/Slipknot/Three Days Grace/A Perfect Circle, etc. is ALWAYS playing on the rock station here lol.

It would be AWESOME if they released a super hardcore single! :rockin:

If I get on my college's newspaper, I'd love to do a review on it to promote it ;D

I'm thinking it'd be great if they'd have a Ain't That Unusual/Eyes Wide Open/On The Lie-type song as a single. I've always thought that if they would have went with one of those songs, they would do really well.

As for re-releasing older songs, I think it'd be great. They used "Two Days in February" to promote EOAC, although I would've chosen On the Lie or Cuz You're Gone myself...
