Since barely anyone here posts in The Lounge section, and usually any rock-related talk is ignored there, I decided that this would a good idea!
So, to start off, I have something to discuss: What is taking Alter Bridge and 3 Doors Down so long to release their third rock singles?
Oh, and can this possibly become a Sticky?

I think Alter Bridge gave "I Know It Hurts" their half-assed push that got it a few adds, and they were either waiting for 2012 adds to heat up to push it, or that's it. Maybe the same for 3 Doors Down? I think it's more surprising for Alter Bridge, given they're coming off a top 5 on active.

Phrase it like you wanna start requesting it on your local station, and wondering when they will be pushing it at their stations so you can help 'em out. Unless that's a lie. I like Alter Bridge enough that that would be truthful for me...but I don't tweet.

Sorry, I already done the deal. I just phrased it as "Will there be anymore singles released from your fantastic (butter them up ) album, _____?" I think there is a far greater chance of Alter Bridge replying versus 3 Doors Down doing so.

I'm looking forward to checking out Shinedown's. The title sets off a suspicion that there may be some really cool songs on that album.

given All That Remains' chart success as of now, are they now a more superior band than Atreyu?

I don't think a band's success makes them superior or inferior. I think they were actually much better before their two most recent albums. But their two most recent albums in addition to Atreyu's recent lack of success have certainly meant that All That Remains has overtaken bands like Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, and Shadows Fall as the kings of the metalcore scene it seems. I still think Killswitch has the most overall talent in the scene if Adam D can go back to producing them instead of Breandan O'Brien and they can get a singer on the level of Jesse and Howard. With those pieces in place and a record on par with the first three (meaning everything but the self-titled from a few years back), I think they'd have a shot to take back their rightful place in the industry, but it's unlikely.

I think you meant you wish E1 had tried to push another single. From now on, when I say "I think a band should have..", I imply the label, not the band.

And it was their first #1 so if anything, Alter Bridge is as popular and as accepted (free of the Creed stigma) as they've ever been.

3 Doors Down might be giving up on this era, I suppose. The one single I'm demanding right now is "Right Before My Eyes" by Cage the Elephant.
