next single?

[lcpja]

You shouldn't necessarily pick your favorite song to be the next single.

 

What song has the best radio material?

[Crusader]

I think it will be Buffalo Seven... I've got other ideas but that's the one I think it will be.

[lcpja]

ya actually i do agree. Great radio material. Catchy tune, with simple lyrics. (simple as in not hard to learn)

[Jay]

"Poor Man's Gray", easily. It'd also make a great video.

ya it would make a damn good controversial video too...

[Crusader]

Got your quotes backwards ;)

 

Poor Man's grey would be cool too.. but think about what Universal would want.

[Dan #1]

I think it would be cool to put a song of Matt's on a Country Radio Station... like empty road or hopeless.

 

but i think for a single... buffalo seven would work out the best.

[Jay]

I hadn't thought about that. I just always invision the parts in Anti-Pop where a map is shown when thinking about one for it.

[Crusader]

The In a world called catastrophe world map? Gah that was a scary picture.

[lcpja]

I think it would be cool to put a song of Matt's on a Country Radio Station... like empty road or hopeless.

 

 

ya, i wonder if MG would be down with that. Or i wonder if Universal would be down with that.

[Dan #1]

I think it would be nice if he got some recognition for trying a different style... its not exactly country music (but it is rockabilly)

 

Besides... its the best "country music" i have heard ever.. if you can consider it that.

[lcpja]

yes recognition would be cool...

 

...is it considered country because of only the instrumentation?

 

...and just a little fyi...there would be no rock n roll withour Rockabilly

[Mr.Domino]

i think either buffalo seven or empty road, although empty road would never make it with the steel guitar in it... i bet they would add another guitar track over and drop the steel.... my $.02

[juanpe]

YES, YES :angry: althought Buffalo Seven is one of my favorite ones, I'd LOVE it to be "Poor man's grey" AND A VIDEO OF it ;) just before the American elections...

[S.E. Hardy]

If only the video would play in America. Oh well.

[angeltr]

Id like to see we're so heavy

[juanpe]

that's my favorite song in WLRRR :angry: but i would be curious of a possible Buffalo Seven video ;)

[S.E. Hardy]

My money is on Buffalo Seven.

[Lauren]

well... if the next single is anything like asr, it won't get much video play haha.

[juanpe]

well, ASR is a good song and the video is ok... at least it includes some images which are good and they go with the lyrics...

[S.E. Hardy]

I loved the ASR video. I think it is my second favorite MG video (Anti-Pop being #1, and Weapn being #3)

[Dan #1]

I havent seen many of MG's music videos...

 

Put out your lights: I like the song personally... but i dont think it would be popular to non MG fans. I can hear "this song sounds a lot like shit" allready.

 

Poor Man's Grey: wont get that much air time... agreed?

 

We're so heavy: It would be a great single :angry: ... but is it the best pick?

 

Empty Road: GET THIS THING ON A COUNTRY MUSIC STATION AS A SINGLE!!! ;)

 

ASR: allready done :angry:

 

Little Terror: could be good eh? Possibility of a great video i think. But would it be the best pick?

 

In Love with a Bad idea: i dont think its the best pick because its not something everyone would like to sing along with.

 

North American For Life: i dont think so... not gonna get much air time? or any at all? haha...

 

Blue Skies Over Badlands: not gonna make it.

 

It's Been a While Since I was your Man: doesn't have the beat that people will want for a video.

 

Buffalo Seven: there is where my money is at... Easy to sing along to, nice beat, its got good lyrics... what more can you ask for in a song to make a video? But what exactly would they film for the video :angry: ... any ideas?

 

Expats: most likely... not gonna happen. Good song, not for video.

 

So to sum it up here are the songs that are most worthy (in my opinion) to be made into a video:

- We're So Heavy

- Little Terror

- Buffalo Seven

 

anybody else agree?

[S.E. Hardy]

I think that Buffalo Seven is the best bet. Personally, I think Little Terror would be great, but I don't think it will make any fans out of non-fans, which, near as I can tell, is the idea behind releasing singles.

[hungte]

We're so Heavy would be great.

[Lauren]

i don't think it matters alot to matt if he makes many new fans... i mean im sure it does a bit but i think he just wants to keep us happy.

but i don't know his motives
