Here Today... Gone To Hell!

IMO:

ballad:  Fall To Pieces
rocker:  sucker train blues or superhuman

h/e i dont think SH would be released cuz of all the language in it :(

FTP - it will be huge for the band much like the way "Like a stone" was for audioslave as their @nd single.

Then they should release Headspace/Suckertrain Blues & then Loving the alien/YGNR

I really don't see what the big deal is with FTP?  I know everyone's has a different opinion...but this is one song that holds the album down...it's one of the few songs I skip on the album.

I agree with FTP. It's good but it doesn't shine and it doesn't represent the album very well. I think they should kick the world's ass with a Heavy kick ass tune such as Superhuman, Headspace or Ilegal I song. Then they can back that up with a ballad such as YGNR or LTAS.

Hey I was saying the same thing you guys are saying until I heard the album version yesterday!

Fall To Pieces next......then Illegal i.....then YGNR or Living The Aliens.

4 hits will sell them no less than 5 million.

FTP, it will be the cross over smash that will get them played on multiple formats.  They can come back after that with another rocker and end with YGNR. I can totally see 4 singles out of this album, even though some of the rest of the album is a little weak. FTP is the key song though as it has the potential to be a huge comerical hit.

You Got No Right could be huge.

Well I think they should release FTP now. Then YGNR. I dont consider a ballad, well, its a slow tempo tune, but not a classic ballad. Listen to Sister Morphine by the Rolling Stones for example, its a slow tempo tune but not a ballad. Then they should release Loving the Aliens (sometimes). That could make them huge

Fall To Pieces is a good choice... don't know about third single though...

I think LTA would be bigger than YGNR. YGNR should be more popular with the diehard fans not the general public. Kinda like the way Dont Cry is to us.

Im surprised more people havent said SUCKER TRAIN BLUES!!

The song ROCKS! And would be ideal! Its really catchy with a fucking awesome riff!

Well they have released two rockers in a row so it's probably time for a ballad.  The obvious choice here is FTP.

However, I'd like to throw Dirty Little Liar in as a four release.  This is one of my 3 favorite songs on the album and it moving up my personal charts fast.  Slash's solo at the end, while somewhat brief, is his best work on the album IMO.  Of course my song preferences have changed by the day.  :)

-TyRod-

YGNR - by far the best song on the album

Its basically official that "FTP" is the second single.


I agree that "Dirty Little Thing" has some of the best guitar-work of the record...Its the most GNR-sounding of them all.  Great solo - I wouldnt call it brief, though.  All of the solos on the rockers should have been as long.  But I dont think Id choose it for a single.  Id go with "Sucker Train Blues" for a rocker and "Loving The Aliens" for a ballad.

Listening to "YGNR" today, I think this song could make it as a single.  Not sure I would choose it, but if it were chosen, it could work.  Scotts vocals are damn impressive, and Slashs solo is a classic.

If you look at todays "Rock Stars" Kid Rock, Puddle of Mudd, Limp Bizkit, Audioslave They almost all release their powerful hard rock song/single first and follow it up with a slower tempo song for their second single. VR has already had Slither and Set Me Free as singles. Sucker Train is a pretty good song but they need to make the CROSSOVER and put out one of their ballads. Personally LTA's is my fav to each their own. YGNR is also a very good song. FTP is good but the lyrics seem to have something missing. I dont know how to exactly say it but it sounds like he is just repeating himself. Although Slash's riffs really to make FTP the song it is.

It's gotta be Fall To Pieces, that'll be an instant top 10

Favorite Song of the Day: Dirty Lil Thing

actually my favorite I think!!!!!!

It's soooo good! the chorus is so amazingly catchy once again!

FTP will bring in the crossover appeal, and if they make a video, it will likely get heavy airplay on MTV.

Still, I'd prefer if the next single was YGNR - it's a better ballad.

Yeah, FTP is a lot more mainstream than LTA or YGNR, but I would have to say that YGNR should be the next single.  I think it could be a huge hit.  

Loving The Alien!! Though I think they?re gonna stick with their "hard rock" attitude and go with superman.

FTP should be the next singlew IMO.A good ballad for the 2nd single would work very good.



Baby Slash//

I think that it has already been reported that FTP is going to be the next single, and it will be released in august, if I remember correctly.
There is no obvious choice for the follow up, the candidates are Sucker train blues, Do it for the kids and Headspace.
Then they will most likely release You got no right.

I'm glad that there are a few others who love Dirty little thing, I think it?s extremely underrated.  :peace:

i think ftp would be a good second single, what they really need is a great video. the slither video was awesome, but more for us who are already fans, they need a video that will appeal to everyone it should definitely have live footage to show people what they are missing.

OMG!!!! "Dirty Little Thing" is becoming one of my favorite songs ever! The chorus is just soooo gorgeous!! I can't believe they made a song this good! Man life is really good right now!

already learned the chords to the chorus on guitar!! fuckin incredible emotion pouring out of that song!

I can't believe they aren't playing it live!

problably the same reason GNR didn't play Dont Damn Me...the solo is to hard to do live.

Actually no...it can be done or at least improvised!
Man if VR plays this song the next time they come around I will die a happy man!

Ballad= Fall to Pieces...

Rocker= Big Machine...

I think Fall to Pieces is an old school rock ballad that needs some airtime.  It really is a great song.  Slash really maes that guitar cry in that one.  If they don't want to release a ballad that early, than Suckertrain Blues would be a nice oppurtunity to rock the masses socks off.

I'm pretty sure that FTP is almost a lock to be the next single, which I think is a good move. Though I like LTA better as a ballad, FTP would definitely have more immediate success. LTA would be good as a 4th single I believe.

You got no right has to be the next single - fantastic song

 2nd single = Fall to Pieces
 3rd single = Big Machine
 4rth = You Got No Right

 :peace:

I think none of the ballads are strong enough to become a hit. Loving the alien would probably be the best of the 3.

But I'd rather see them release Do it for the kids or Big Machine.

Fall To Pieces , Sucker Train Blues, Headspace or Dirty Little Thing

Big Machine would be a good single.

Dirty Little thing has taken over as my favorite VR song. I can't get enough of it.

They need a slower song to help crossover

Same here  8)

most bands release a rocker first then a ballad

unless u are dumb like bon jovi and release a midtempo song that destroyed their fuckin awesome bounce cd


loving the alien doesnt seem like a radio friendly type song, its the best song on the cd but im not sure casual listeners will get it

fall to pieces is definitely going to be  a single

you got not right  is a great choice as well

loving the alien though is the best song and would be the one id love to see as the single

Fall To Pieces

and then Illegal I/Big Machine/Dirty Little Thing

and last You Got No Right

the next single will be Fall To Pieces or Loving The Alien. IMO

After that I'd like to see Sucker Train Blues/Headspace/Illegal i Song as a third single.

It's interesting how there are so many different opinions as to what should be the next single. I think most of the songs on this cd are single potential.

I would pick You Got No Right as the second single. I love Fall To Pieces, but You Got No Right just blew me away from the first time I heard it. Somehow, I seem to find something new to love about it with each listen. I think this is the song will grab the public's attention. It's beautiful and perfect. I will think it's a shame if this is not released as a single at some point.

As for other rockers I think I am leaning towards Superhuman and Headspace or Do It For The Kids.

Wow! i can't believe no one has mentioned SPECTACLE!

I LOVE SPECTACLE! to me it sounds a lot like "go with the flow" by queens of the stone age. Spectacle is probably my favorite track on the album.

i think fall to pieces is a little weak...not very catchy or original. i love do it for the kids too.

...anyway, yeah Spectacle has my vote. has a solo in their too...would make for a kickass video.

They should release...

#1- Dirty little things
#2- YGNR
#3- Headspace or Spectacle

Can't choose between the last 2 ones...Spectacle kicks ass but the breakdown part in Headspace is so amazing !!

The next single should be not a slow song... I think that Fall to Pieces is single material because well it's a good song... get over it.

I think that Spectacle or Set Me Free should be one.... even Headspace.

Loving the ALien is probably the purest song on the album... AWESOME!

All i'm gunner do/say: :yes:  :beer:  : ok:  :peace:

I think VR should release Sucker Train Blues- seeing lots of people dig that!
Then YGNR!

I friggin love YGNR! :beer:  :drool:  :-*  :yes:  : ok:

Fall To Pieces is the next single but You Got No Right, Loving The Alien, Dirty Little Thing, Suckertrain Blues, Spectacle and Do It For The Kids would make good singles imo.
