We wrote about that before they did ;)

[Lauren]

it's all i know.. this empty road...

[running4home]

maybe i should read the news more often then i didn't have that much faith in team anton

[Crusader]

;) I get around. I can usually post info before everyone else does.

[Matt]

I think "Poor Man's Gray" would have been a better choice, I think it would have gotten more radio play...

[therethere]

matt said in the edge interview that he would let empty road be played on the radio once because he suspected that it wouldn't ever be played anyways....

 

 

he has proven himself wrong.

[Jay]

Awesome, I'd love to see this song get some commercial success and recognition, it certainly deserves it.

[Mr.Domino]

YES! this is excellent, empty road is one of my favorites off of white light... do you all think that the steel guitar will be left in the song, or will it be replaced by a standard electric guitar (like in the live version)?

[juanpe]

there are many more songs in WLRRR which could be better a new single than empty road (i dont really like that song), for example, buffalo seven, we're so heavy (my favorite one) or even poor man's gray... but empty road? :S ... oh well...

[rosie]

I think Empty Road will make a great single (and hopefully a better video than Alert Status Red). It has potential.

[Jay]

Little Terror is perfect for a single, but Empty Road should work out well, and if it doesn't, oh well.

[Crusader]

A condensed version of it's been a while might have worked too.

Empty Road is a good choice for a single because it WILL get alot of crossover to other radio formats. Not only will rock stations play it, but because it's slower, it'll likely get picked up by Adult Comtemporary, Middle of the road and maybe even Top 40 stations. For more exposure, Empty Road is a great choice for a single. I'm really glad it's the next single because the station i work at will play it!! Then again, we play Alert Status Red too.

[Crusader]

Question: do they play much MG/MGB at nightclubs/dancing involved places? I've yet to hear any...

[running4home]

i have no idea but before the winnipeg show you could hear the future is x rated coming from this barn where there was some dance party type deal

[zebrahead]

I was at a dance club once in Victoria, they played Rico, later in the night they played Hello Time Bomb. I was so excited because I live in the States and never get the opportunity to dance to MGB. It was cool to see the reaction to the song from the clubbers. I went to a club in Tucson, Arizona to see a concert. Out of nowhere on the sound system, they started playing Hello Time Bomb. I just about shit my pants.

 

And just to add my 2 cents, I really hope Empty Road become the next single. It has the making of becoming a Canadian classic.

[Lauren]

i always hope his new singles will make new fans. and this song is so much different then his other singles, so it should be good.

[kd_special]

yeah empty road for the next single is no brainer... Anyone who listens to the radio regularly would know that that really is the only other song on the album that would get ay air play. At least by the stations here in Toronto. Put out your lights COuld get alot of air play but I have never herd it on the radio here, How about in Vancover?

 

I think cuz its on the album cover it didn't get picked or somthing. I would have picked put out your lights over alert status red.. but thats just me i love the heavy stuff,,, But yeah empty road "pssstt NO BRAINer,,,

 

Supersize the slow shit......

What the hell is on the cover anyways? I think it's a golf course?...

[Matt]

I thought it was some sort of resort or town or something with water before you got there... from what it looks like to me.

Edited August 7, 2004 by Matt

[Crusader]

Well I'm pretty sure it's Vancouver... But doesn't it look like a hole in a golf course?

[Matt]

Not to me. It looks like some sort of town to me...

[Crusader]

Look on the back, it looks like a swimming pool railing.

[Matt]

Yeah I noticed that. But I mean on accross the water way.
