Pro-wrestling and MMA fans are stoked. As much as I'd like to believe the label forced their hand on this cheesy single choice, that doesn't excuse the band for writing it in the first place.

What's wrong with this? Sure, it's cock-rock, but it's more of an anthem then a "I'm gonna beat you up cuz I'm better than you." I enjoy it.

They actually recorded this song purely as a tribute to the Danish boxer Mikkel Kessler. I can certainly see why someone would describe it as cheesy. |

"Fallen" was ten times better than this. I don't like it at all.

I'm the other way around. This is the first song that I've liked by these guys.

"Fallen" was ten times better than this. I don't like it at all. "fallen" is the breakout single of this year for me..definitely a great song..now about "a warrior's call" i think is good (not as good as fallen of course) but, i can't say i don't like it. Their other singles "Heaven Nor Hell" and "16 Dollars" sound nice too. I really started to respect this band |

I like the deep tone of his voice. And his Danish accent shows too in some songs, which I think is pretty sweet. I've come to enjoy Volbeat.

I think Volbeat will be number 4 on active tomorrow or the next day.

Chevelle is over 600 spins ahead of it and Avenged Sevenfold and a struggling Nickelback are 300-400 ahead of it. Not to mention the chance of being overtaken by FFDP, The Foos or even potentially Adletias Way, Disturbed or Korn. But i'd think a top 3 would be quite achievable. |

I think the top 3 are going to remain there for a couple of days while Volbeat remains number 4, but I'm just guessing.

Surprised this is doing so well. I prefer "Fallen" over this.

Also when people spell words wrong it ticks me. I notice that you did too but I'm cool with that. At least you aren't too far off.  |

Yeah, I've got no excuses for that, as a university student I should pay more attention to my spelling then I do. I'll work on cutting down the amount of bad spelling I do on here, :) |

I think Garcia may well be Spanish or something, Dev, so don't be too unkind. :) Back to the song, I'd agree with the comment below. Surprised this is doing so well. I prefer "Fallen" over this. |

I've thought of that too, but being blunt has nothing to do with your nationally. Oh man, I'm feeling too mean now.  |

Yeah, but he may not be completely fluent in English. I don't think you've scared him off yet, so you should be alright. Any third single suggestions? "The Mirror and the Ripper" would be the obvious choice for another uptempo offering. "Heaven Nor Hell" is the poppier option. |

I think the next obvious choices are "Heaven Nor Hell" and "16 Dollars," since they are both singles in Europe.
